Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. 'A gripping account of the cloak and dagger game played in Berlin and beyond by Britain's shadow warriors. A knife-edge Cold War showdown. A game of secrets, masterfully told.' Damien Lewis, Sunday Times No. 1 Bestselling Author The British Commanders'-in-Chief Mission to the Soviet Forces in Germany, better known as BRIXMIS, was arguably the most successful and enduring intelligence organisation of the whole Cold War. Its three-man teams maintained a permanent presence behind the Iron Curtain, patrolling East German soil every single day from 1946 until the fall of the Berlin Wall changed the face of post-war Europe. In a follow-up to The Deadly Game, Will Britten, a career Military Intelligence Officer, treats us to a fresh, and in places hard-hitting look at his experience as one of the last generations of Cold War warriors. Over the Wall details reconnaissance missions in the depths of the DDR, targeting by Stasi surveillance teams, and fascinating personal contacts with 'the enemy'. Beyond this, he puts forward the shocking proposition that Moscow had almost certainly compromised BRIXMIS through their own agents operating within the wide US military system. Providing a rare insight into the activities of the GRU-staffed Soviet military teams deployed reciprocally in West Germany, Over the Wall ultimately poses an intriguing question: in the final balance whose missions were operationally more effective?

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The British Commanders'-in-Chief Mission to the Soviet Forces in Germany (BRIXMIS) was a military liaison mission which operated behind the Berlin Wall during the height of the Cold War. This liaison was undertaken by the 31 members 11 officers and no more than 20 others appointed to each mission. One of these men was former intelligence officer, Will Britten. In Over the Wall, Britten lifts the lid on what it was like working on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain. During this period, Berlin was a hotbed of spying between the East and West. BRIXMIS was established as a trusted channel of communication between the Red Army and the British Army on the Rhine. However, they acted in the shadows to steal advanced Soviet equipment and penetrate top secret training areas. Over the Wall offers a more detailed and critical analysis of what the mission did and why, concluding that the Soviets must have known some of their agents had been turned by the Allies and that their intelligence had been compromised. Additionally, the book examines, for the first time, the period after the fall of the Berlin Wall, up until the complete Soviet withdrawal in 1992, when BRIXMIS was succeeded by an organisation working covertly. It also explores the Soviet equivalent mission based in the US sector of West Germany, revealing how it operated in stark contrast to BRIXMIS.
