imagine the amount of things he didn't tell us

Man dug through piles of shit stained documents for Queen and Country. Respect, man. Lol

my mom used to manage a retirement/assisted living facility and one of her patients was an FBI agent from the cold war and a WWII veteran and he used to haft to have a lot of surgery and when ever he had to have surgery there had to be an FBI agent in the room with him to make sure that he doesn't disclose any secret information i got to talk to him a few times and he is the nicest cool guy you will ever meet in your life when he would tell you about his storys from working at the FBI he would like tell something but leave a big bit of it out and if you asked about it he would just wink and smile it was funny but annoying he unfortunately died 2 years ago. Miss you john

still fits a pint in before leaving

I see, PS5 promoting games pretty well.

Friendly reminder: this is just the surface.

Who knew mr Bond was digging through garbage, they left that out of the film

I remember another tank story where the BRIXMIS happened across where an ERA brick was just tossed aside by a soldier. Was taken for analysis and gave huge info up. Incredible stories

He looks so normal, the best spies always do!

The toilet paper was in scarce in USSR. My mom told me that back in 1970s people used to go to Moscow and buy stacks of toilet paper, and people used a rope and did some sort of a necklaces of toilet paper for ease of carrying it around. If you think that toilet paper isn't that expensive to make, well, the planned economy thinks differently.

The Russians had exactly the same teams operating quite legally in West Germany. In fact their base was inside the base of a British Army Unit in a town called Lubbeke. I remember going to a dinner as a young officer with a group of Russians in the camp. Very surreal. Both sides operated quite legally and were given areas they could and couldn't go. Airfields and military bases were of course out of bounds but in a cat and mouse game each side tried to get close to them anyway! If caught the worst that would happen would be that the team would be kicked out of the country and invited not to return. The main aim of these military missions was to have a presence in each others countries so that the teams could confirm to their governments that the enemy was not about to launch a surprise attack. Actually quite a good idea if you think about it! They used to follow big exercises to make sure the armies were not actually going to just keep going and launch a surprise attack.

Well toilett paper was a valuable item in the Soviet Block, so I immagin the just didn't had it. We had shortages in Poland too, it was even shown in one of the comedies from the period.

Loving the recent surge in spy videos. I'd recommend the podcast True Spies narrated by Hayley Atwell and Vanessa Kirby for anyone looking for more.

So perfectly put. In this world of information we know less than what these people knew before the internet and mass communication. Scary...how in the dark the public is.

So that's how we got the information on the T80s !

They drank a beer with the pub owner while on the run from potential death penalties lol

This guy is such a badass. Putting himself on the front lines to bring down a totalitarian regime. Mad respect, mate.

During my practice teaching, I worked with a German teacher (American born & raised) who spoke the language with zero clue he wasn't German. Also was a former spy. I sussed this out by his constant need for Mylanta for a destroyed stomach lining. "My time in foreign service." I'm good at asking questions, and he did reveal he worked in Berlin doing something that may have involved getting people in and out of the DDR. As long as he didn't give the name of the organization (not CIA) or precisely what all they did. They were given very high-powered methamphetamines in powerful little pills to take as needed. Two years and he had a ruined stomach.

Damn, i guess this guy really liked the new Call of duty cold war campaign

I absolutely love this channel man...

Honestly this channel is so elite who else is doing vids like this . Thank you lad-bible always so so interesting

Just awesome. Such a different time... and he's so right at the end about today's world.

Very humble man. Respect

Great interview.

So this guy spent hours picking up poop-smeared papers people had wiped their butts with... truly the life of a spy is not as glamorous as the movies try to make it seem, lol.

Didn’t know Martin goodman was a Cold War spy😭

Love these videos!

this was awsome

Me reading Cold War My Brain: We got a job to do

"nowadays we don't know where the enemies are. There all around us😔

This guy speaks so much sense,we could learn alot ,respect

Perfect video length 👌

Thanks

Excellent content.

Hands down the best thing on KZfaq right now

belicov aged well, he changes nationality aswell. MAD

Brilliant.

Wild story! But so interesting to hear.

i like to see that Black Ops Cold War is getting promoted on Unilad

You should always assume you’re being listened to, even back then, but especially in his line of work, that would’ve been a given.

Imagine sitting around a bonfire with some close friends on one cold night and this dude came over to spend some time around the fire!

0:30 "Commander in Cheese"

One word: *WOW*

Wish i'd joined the forces. My dad was in the RAF and i think working as part of something bigger would've done me good.

A real british spy finishes his drink before going on the run, you don't know if that's your last pint

"Now is more dangerous than it was then" makes me wonder

What a hard life. Wow. They are the true unsung heroes of civilization

The quick drink with the pub owner ;(

These lads had diplomatic protection and plated cars. Few good videos on YT showing them in action. Army Intelligence is different from SIS who work mostly out of the FCO and British Council. Then the NOCs do their own thing.

that last statement is eery... like i almost wanna be extra careful when i- OOO PS5!

Legend 💪

Top man.

Just imagine spies today and what they could do. scary! My freedom that I take for granted

we sometimes used an old news paper in the 70's, so long as it hadn't been used for fish n chips lol

Do any of these people interview published any book/memoirs? Great interviews.

This is by far the best PS5 add

"It was clear to us that the phones were all tapped in the British Embassy" well I mean not sure what else u expected tbh

now the east german soldiers be like: I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE BUSH xD

Far more interesting than James Bond nonsense. This would make a good series because of how real the fear was. This is real cunning of the person as opposed to letting Q's gadgets save you.

That's tough life.

When I see the Playstation logo I think Cold War Era espionage. Clever

At least they were used to the sounds of movement in the trash so they wouldn't be suspicious of the sounds

Wiping your arse with documents sounds like a fantastic tactic to reduce the chance of someone reading them.

They seem to have left this out of the James bond films, him climbing through a shit filled rubbish dump for secret documents lol

Much more interesting than the game

You NEED to get Simon Mann on here.....We could live half a dozen lives and not get up to half as much mischief as he did :)

Hell yeah! Your man in the car definitely knew his bizzness. I would know, being the no.1 driver in black ops 4 call of duty an all that well played.

Ну, товарищ, спешу сообщить что ваша миссия не завершена, мы обязательно с вами встретимся, должок у вас перед нами. Да ладно, шучу, красава вы

What is awesome is this is from PlayStation! Awesome

I can't believe the Soviets did not consider using an incinerator!

That’s so interesting, so we really know what James Bond does lol

Crazy to think this is probably all going on now.

Feels like I’m playing call of duty campaign

The real kingsman

My Grandad was in the British Army in the 1960s or so, stationed on the Berlin Wall, given no ammunition (for fear of starting a war) and he did five or so of what he calls "Special missions" (or, "spesh-owhl mish-huns" in his accent). The nature of these missions is unknown to me except for one, the last one, where he infiltrated the DDR and was bringing a high value individual back across when a Grenzschuttsgrupper spotted them and shot the HVI (and a comment he made while visiting us in America makes me think it was a Karabiner-S rifle, as his reaction to an SKS was "Oh I used to get shot at with these!"). He had to be pulled immediately for fear of starting an international incident. I've never seen any sources or other accounts other than this to substantiate it, and even then I'd consider how WWII revolutionized espionage and covert warfare more substantive than this account (not to devalue its importance). My grandad isn't a liar, neither is my dad and his two brothers (British) and neither am I or my two brothers (American) so I believe him despite any concrete lack of proof. He told my dad one day on the phone all about it, and my dad didn't wanna go into all of it, but that's how I know about the HVI who got shot, so there was enough detail for it to be believable. It's a stretch but I have to wonder if this bloke knows him. Stanley Knight, one of the most admirable men I've ever met (and I'm not afraid to trash talk relatives if they deserve it so I really mean that).

More spy stuff PLEAAASSSEE?!

The glamorous life of a spy...

Cold War looks so good on ps5 I almost feel like this video is real

Wish the violin part was louder and went on for longer

I did trash pulls as a police detective for years. Nothing worse than maggots crawling up and down your arm and they do bite. If I didn't throw up on the job at least once a week than I wasn't dong my job. On the plus side, led to a lot of good Probable Cause for Search Warrants.

What a fascinating man. The real James Bond.

The bartender probably got killed because of him

The drivers were recruited from 8 Regt RCT, Munster West Germany ( BAOR ). Vetted and asked if they could make a cup of tea ( Brew ) Plenty of car chases...

Imagine getting robbed by a spy

Very hard times

British has always had some badass spy’s

No one noticed the whistling he makes when he says s

video length: 9:11 me: oh shit this is serious

I love the new cod😁

There was almost no toilet paper in the GDR

He literally took "Taking a shit" very seriously

He’s a real James Bond.

in a rubbage dump, scavenging for makeshift used toilet paper documents... sure beats the hell out of being James bond........

that poor bugger asleep on a tree and wakes up his bloody backpack is gone his sargent would have kicked his arse

Oh this guy again

I find it very hard to belive a former spy can disclose any information that hasn't already been disclosed . Assuming all this information is in freedom of information act. Great nonetheless to listen too.

An interesting fact about infiltrating enemy grounds...when the Russians were in Afghanistan they leaned heavily on dogs (mostly shepherds), nights before an Afghan raid, they'd spread Snow Leopard urine around the perimeter. Dogs went crazy with fear... causing mayhem and eventual demise of troops.

You don't see James bond rifling through the rubbish tips and shit smeared letters for information ..!

Balls of steel
