Throughout its existence East Germany has aspired to excel in sports and science. At its pinnacle it had achieved notoriety in sports and spying, but fell short in science. This book will be a history of deceit--embodied by espionage--in the quest for scientific and technological excellence, and a study of the culture of technology under surveillance in East Germany. The objective of the study is to investigate the relationship between science and espionage in order to uncover its extent, methods, sources and success for science. The book will attempt to answer whether and to what extent espionage aided East Germany's scientific aspirations. The approach will be mainly historical, though it will also draw on other approaches to Science and Technology Studies. At the core will be archival research in the `Stasi` archive, the Party archive, and the Bundesarchiv (all in Berlin, and access has been arranged); plus the CIA and KGB archives. This material will be supplemented with printed and secondary material to create an analytic narrative. Interviews with agents and officers, viewed with appropriate skepticism, will add detail, depth and corroboration.

在整个存在期间，东德德国一直渴望在体育和科学方面出类拔萃。 在它的巅峰时期，它在体育和间谍活动中声名狼借，但在科学方面却差强人意。 这本书将是一部欺骗的历史--体现在间谍活动中--在追求科学和技术卓越的过程中，以及对东德国监视下的技术文化的研究。 本研究的目的是调查科学与间谍活动之间的关系，以揭示其程度，方法，来源和科学的成功。 这本书将试图回答间谍活动是否以及在多大程度上帮助了东德国的科学抱负。 该方法将主要是历史的，虽然它也将借鉴其他方法来科学和技术研究。 核心将是对“斯塔西”档案馆、党的档案馆和联邦档案馆（都在柏林，访问权已经安排好）的档案研究;加上中央情报局和克格勃的档案。 这些材料将补充印刷和二手材料，以创建一个分析性的叙述。 与特工和官员的面谈，以适当的怀疑态度看待，将增加细节，深度和佐证。
