Obviously the Communist side of the East-West nature of the Berlin Crisis- no margin for error on the Border police- or Vopos- roughly People"s Police- this acronym is not longer used. They also had a plainclothes unit called Stasi- nothing to do with The Girl Czarevna- the title she preferred- though she did know Berlin well!
