Refugees and Western Intelligence in Germany, 1945-1969

这个项目考虑东德难民在设在西柏林和西德国的西方机构的情报工作中的作用。很少有学者试图分析这一人口外流与驻扎在联邦共和国德国的间谍机构的相关性。该项目的重点是战后德国各州最受欢迎的难民，科学家和技术人员，旨在研究西方服务的活动以及他们在冷战前二十年在西德工业和科学领域建立的专业网络。该项目的研究阶段包括对德国、英国和美国的文献收藏进行有针对性的审查。这些收藏品中最重要的一些目前已供研究人员使用。我们还将寻求获得更多的档案来源，根据我们迄今在这三个国家审查的材料，将感兴趣的中欧和冷战的学者更普遍。

This project considers the role of East German refugees in the intelligence work of Western agencies based in West Berlin and West Germany. Few scholarly attempts have been made to analyze the relevance of this human exodus to espionage agencies stationed to the Federal Republic of Germany. Focusing on those refugees most sought after in both postwar German states, scientists and technicians, this project seeks to examine the activities of Western services and the professional networks they created within West German industry and science during the first two decades of the Cold War. The research phase of this project involves a targeted review of documentary collections in Germany, Great Britain, and the United States. The most important of these collections are currently accessible to researchers. We will also seek to obtain access to additional archival sources that, based on the materials we have examined to date in these three countries, will be of interest to scholars of Central Europe and the Cold War more generally.
