A Political Prisoner in Cold War Berlin

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Called up for National Service in 1956, Douglas Boyd was selected for Russian language training and posted to the RAF in Berlin to spy on Soviet aircraft movements. He recalls life in Hitler’s ruined capital and how, on a foolhardy black-marketeering foray into the East, he was arrested by the Stasi. Six weeks imprisonment and interrogation followed, before he was mysteriously taken to the border and released.
