I just saw the movie Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and thought I’d share something related to the movie. In 1994 I flew to Berlin to meet Karla. I stayed in the State Department compound that night and the next day the former mayor of East Berlin drove me deep into what used to be East Germany . This is a picture of me and Karla – Markus Wolf, the spy with no face. We’re walking back to an old Stasi safe house near Prenden, where we talked for two days. Karla is actually very tall – I’m 6’1”, so you be the judge --not short as depicted in the movie. He was brimming with information and nothing was off limits. The only time I got a one word answer was when I asked him if he knew who killed JFK. He simply said, ”No.” Markus was an incredible experience. The movies is terrific, a thinking movie, spies. If you see it, here’s Karla, the former head of East Germany’s intelligence service. Thanks.
