Former KGB and CIA Spies Recall the Battle for Berlin

Editor's Take

Former KGB and CIA officers recall Berlin at the sharp end of the intelligence war, where thousands of agents watched one another for half a century. First-hand testimony gives it a weight that dramatised spy stories cannot match.

This documentary revisits Berlin as the frontline of the Cold War, the divided city where thousands of KGB and CIA agents watched one another for fifty years. Former spies recall the intelligence war fought in its streets, the constant surveillance, and the high stakes of the standoff between East and West. Their firsthand accounts bring the shadow conflict vividly to life. Absorbing and authentic, it is espionage history told by those who lived it. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
