This movie remembers me of an Easter Block joke: Ivan calls KGB: My neighbor Boris has money sent from CIA hidden in the woods. KGB came chops all the Boris's woods and finds nothing. After a while Ivan and Boris met: Thank you for send me people to chop the woods, says Boris. Who were they? Asks Ivan. The same people that I have sent to dig your garden, by tell them that you have weapons hidden there, answers Boris

Trenchcoats,hats, binoculars in the street...I was expecting someone to pull out a shoe-phone.

Who knew the U.S. Defense Dept could make a GREAT B- movie!

That dramatic Dachshund turn was AMAZING

Let’s remember, that at this time in Berlin, there were constant attempts by both sides to get any information that could become a piece of the puzzle. Young women could befriend a lonely soldier and begin to acquire non classified information and meet other soldiers with more valuable information. A thriving black market in alcohol and western cigarettes, may help a soldier make allot of cash. Later, that soldier could be blackmailed into giving up information on vehicles and technology. And yes, as indicated in the film, the loyalty of civilians was always a question. Mayday and anti Vietnam war rallies were very well attended.

Another good movie. I recommend the desert survival film as well. I'm about to watch the jungle survival one next. Man, I'm getting hooked on these training vids! The training vids we watched in the army when I was in like 21 years ago, had nothing on these! The ones we saw had that super cheap, low budget 80s & 90s vibe to em, horrible acting, some were so cheesey bc you can tell the creators were trying to be "hip and cool" to appeal to the "kids" 😂 and they had no plots! Where were the fln storylines?? My favorite one was about depleted uranium (DU), narrated by an army armor officer in his class A's (I believe he was a full bird, or an LTC at a minimum); middle aged white male, short white/grey hair, receding hairline, and this film had a definite old-school vibe (reminded me of a propaganda film), like it could have been made in the 60s or 70s (it was in technicolor), and he kept repeating that DU is your friend... Meanwhile in between that statement, he was talking obviously about what DU was and how we use it (oh, I was an M1 Abrams tanker/19K, and DU is something we're around a lot), and then how dangerous it is, how it can contaminate anything, and ofc DU poisoning-cue black and white photo images of horrifically deformed babies and children of servicemen who've been exposed to DU-and even types of conditions DU poisoning can give the soldier directly (small stuff like cancer and what have you), but for the most part it's a silent deal that will take its revenge on your children... But never fear, because DU IS YOUR FRIEND.

This video has some awesome background music for spy thriller.

Best line so far: "The prisoners will be taken to a place of detention, where a complete body search will be conducted." Observation: Consider how efficient these law enforcement officers are, even though their camouflage suits are at the dry cleaners. Yes, that Dashund should have earned an Emmy for that deft move.

Fun fact: in 1999, spies began to meet again in that villa at 11 Sven Hedin street. It became the residence of German intelligence service BND for a few years. At the time the film was made there was the "Joint Allied Refugee Operations Center, Berlin - JAROC (B)", where CIA and friends interrogated East Germans.

The narrator sounds like Peter Graves, which given his MIF role on CBS seems appropriate.

Little did they know how much easier it would have been to plant an operative in the US White House and just have them share whatever you need.

Never mind those west German counter-intel dudes that look old enough to have served in the old Gestapo.

5:25. Sgt. Prentice has a defense. He declassified these documents "just by thinking about it" then took them home to his private club and claimed they belonged to him.

Wow real top secret stuff! Thanks for sharing 🙏

And now we go to my place, yes? And now we go to your place, yes.

"Look inconspicuous chief? I am talking to my shoe!"

This is currently happening to me in Miami today

I’m always wary of guys reading newspapers and peering over the top - especially the ones in trench coats.

Always remember to use the Reserved Spy Parking spots, they are well marked. And always wear Dark Suit white shirt with tie so people think you work for IBM. Trench Coats are optional. I think in the "Spying for Dummies" book it says to always use the same guy to sit near the target's table every time he sits in the same restaurant.

The message of the story: When you do illegal business, you must allways set up a look-out!

Genius editing. Dynamic movie making.

That Bicycle is Bobbie Trapped I saw it in field manual 5-34.

It'd be really interesting to know what percentage of info was real and how much was made up to catch people out.

I was expecting Maxwell Smart, Agent 86 of CONTROL, to show up.

These spies are terrible! They're missing the movie cameras everywhere!

This is like a "learning German" film from the 60s.

All of this to find out who shot JR

I kept looking for Colonel Flagg.

Thank you for posting.

Nice to hear the use of KPM library music in the background.

This restaurant seems to be very famous amongst the agents...

Back when a German quaffing wine at dinner was a known secret signal.

A sergeant with the hairline of a full-bird colonel...

I am suprised that the man didn't have eye holes cut out in the newspaper

"Let's make an example of this... 'hep cat'!"

I received a Christmas gift from Santa; U.N.C.L.E. Attaché case with all kinds of neat spy equipment. I could have gone straight into governmental work

Wow, Woody Harrelson as the secret-selling sergeant was great!

What's the cover story for nosy dudes in suits lurking on suburban streets? Wouldn't workmen of some sort be less noticeable?

Looks a lot older than 1969.

Love these movies, remember them from Basic Training in 1971

Interesting and informative.

Classic stuff, love it. Brings back some memories . . . .

Was this directed by Ed Wood?

To all the wannabe spies in this chat: Thumbs up if you noticed the mysterious lady at 36:40 !

The bit starting at 12:49 is simply too hilarious to even be real

I would never notice that I was being followed around by a dark colored Beetle.

The Major calls the Sergeant "Sir”. #headdesk

Is there any better disguise than a trench coat? At 8:38 check out the flooders! At 11:00 who knew Mary Tyler Moore was a sparrow?

Imagine being the operator that brings this "training film" to their handler. I love how absolutely nothing is given away that wasn't already in everyone else's playbook. Good propaganda.

I wonder what kind of film stock did they you. I love this look.

Some of those agents look as if they came fresh from Idaho farming. One of them had his mouth standing open all the time.

Groovy music ;)

Themes Aboud Arthe Messes : the scenes

Finally being able to understand the German being spoken here feels so surreal.

A vw bug as a tailing car?...i hope it had an 1835 under the decklid.

It's funny how these criminals always refered to their covert actions as "counter-intelligence," as if they were only acting in a strictly defensive capacity. If you believe that, then I have some oceanfront property, in Nebraska, that you might be interested in?

"It's even better, than "Cats"!

Don't promise a thorough body search unless you'll deliver...

Workman have trouble getting into nice restaurants and blending in

Made at Lookout Mountain Laurel Canyon Los Angeles.

So the compromised official never notices his tail shows up every time he goes out to dinner?

#NuclearVault Outstanding #ColdWar #documentary video! Thank you.

Is the narration starting around 14:05 intentional humor?

007 in a VW beetle! 👍

if woody had gone right to the police this would never have happened.

The music, in this film, reminds me of the music that was used, by NFL Films, during the 1960s, to go with pro-football highlights.

It was the late 60s and they were still using black and white cameras^....I can hear the crackle and pop

My Brother here just said this is Skull and Bones for real! Hahahahaha!

I employed the leaving much extra space at stops in areas of Chicago, as I have seen windows opened with baseball bats.

Great video!

@20:34 whup! they just violated his 4th amendment rights per Katz vs United State. CASE DISMISSED!!!

You forgot to include must smoke a corned cob pipe

The plane should be simple...now I am tempted to draw up a plan with 50 agents, none speaking the same language...

I love that mission impossible music. 👍

Does anyone know what the story is with the woman at 36:41?

17:36--Why haven't I ever seen rotary phones with a lengthwise handset in the U.S.? They look weird, not sure if I like it but they'd be a great addition to a collection. I miss the dialing action on rotary phones, very satisfying. 30:20--I had to look closely to make sure he wasn't eating a cigarette, but what is it, a secret message? Oh, he has another one, wtf?

Like a very bad episode of Mission: Impossible.

Minox camera?

17:55 VERY distinctive handshake.......

what BS spy novel is this from

I wonder if that's how they got that guy with the Chinese? -Unless they had someone over there?

What if the entering party covers the covering party? What happens then?

Hornung has a hollow cig!

The real Men in Black...

Is there no difference between doing counter intelligence and counter espionage because they are always mixed together? Except the spelling.

Sooo who was the woman at the end (her picture is upside down) just curious 😂

Sgt.prentis is now ceo of bae systems.no kidding

That surveillance music tho!

I loved the creepy music.

Where can I see STATSI training films?

26:57 "How soon after the covering party enters does the entering party follow?" I think he got confused...

sniper shot like special agent (unknown) on min aung hlaing comming soon.

Where is the movie the east Germans made around the same time, about western counter intelligence agents operating in east germany ??

draws attention from the workmen lol

The funny thing is some geniuses think they can outsmart counter-intelligence present day.

Haha hmm wonder what "S3" was and why no information about it can be found lol

OMG The trench coats!

The framing, pace, distorted dialogue is reminiscent of Monster A GoGo. MST3K.... But, in reality, deadly serious stuff behind the scenes.

1830 that is late in the afternoon!

I'm always on guard against sino-russian agents and domestic tankies.
