1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,919
Speaker 1: Well a fascinating story about Russian spies in Germany. Most

2
00:00:04,919 --> 00:00:10,560
American service personnel station in Germany, known as Graph as

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,919
it's colloquially known, Americans heading toward the training area by

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,519
helicopter would often see long flapbed cars on trains carrying

5
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:22,359
tanks to that particular area. Now in today's world is

6
00:00:22,399 --> 00:00:24,640
the largest training area maintained by the United States and

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:29,839
Germany and the site of armored vehicle training, army posts,

8
00:00:29,839 --> 00:00:32,039
and air force bases. Though are only some of the

9
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:35,000
targets zeroed in on by the Russians. They will seek

10
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:39,200
out any venue used to train their adversariess, especially the Ukrainians.

11
00:00:39,759 --> 00:00:42,439
They know that the three spies captured and charged by

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,039
the Germans were enlisted by the Russians first as spies

13
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:49,240
and potential future saboteurs and arsonists. These Russian Germans were

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,200
also directed to photograph and video the loading platforms and

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,880
significant companies involved in these Ukrainian training sites. The intelligence

16
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,399
gathering is believed to be only preparatory for attacks, which

17
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:03,119
would limit the value such combat intensive training. Of course,

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,840
knowing what type of vehicles to photograph and report it

19
00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:09,599
was indeed critical at Graph and newer American tanks and

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,959
armored vehicles were brought for shakedown, training, and maintenance. Spies

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,439
can also gain advantage for their masters by knowing where

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,480
damaged enemy vehicles go for repairs. If your company is

23
00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:23,280
the recipient of miles of long flatbeds carrying damage armored vehicles,

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,879
then you too will be targeted. They want to know

25
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:30,359
how the vehicles were damaging, whether the damage is easily repaired.

26
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:34,400
For these reasons, the routes to and from factories or

27
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:38,040
repair centers are critical. They need to have security personnel

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,719
to know to observe all those surrounding and wandering around

29
00:01:40,719 --> 00:01:45,799
the plants. One method employed by a smart security guard

30
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,719
was to photograph a given bus stop in front of

31
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:49,920
his company area. He did so every fifteen minutes to

32
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:53,480
see who was lingering and who never left, indeed, who

33
00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:58,000
was photographing outside the plant. If anybody was, ask your

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,359
staff who among them might have been a roach for

35
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:03,560
unusual things is another good defense mechanism. One side edition,

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,959
one sanitation staff member overseas was offered one hundred dollars

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,520
just to retrieve documents from the trash in English writing.

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,919
When he said he meet the request again, he was

39
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,840
a company by law enforcement. Spies are not superheroes, but

40
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:18,879
will often go for the lowest hanging fruit. Here, they

41
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,439
suspected a low level cleaner would never be briefed and

42
00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:23,439
were shocked to discover he was not only briefed, but

43
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,479
received a huge bonus for turning in the spy. Does

44
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,199
your company offer bonuses to those who report unusual happenings interesting?

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,520
Do you train them to look for unusual happenings things

46
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:37,599
like the adversary? Thinking like the adversary's key. Remember, you

47
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,759
have to think like your adversary, the spy when you

48
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,680
plan your defense. Let's think about the tank sent from

49
00:02:42,719 --> 00:02:45,360
America to defend the Ukraine. They're sent via ship. With

50
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,280
the new rowrow system, the ship which carries them can

51
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:51,879
be easily identified. ROBO stands for roll on, roll off.

52
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:54,039
This is a method of delivery which saves huge amounts

53
00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:57,400
of time, as the seaport no longer a vehicles lifted

54
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,520
by chains and deposited one by one in the hold

55
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,000
of a ship. Rather, the arm of cars or tanks

56
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:04,400
simply roll one behind the other into the ships hold.

57
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:06,919
Over a steel bridge connected to the aft portion of

58
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,560
a ship. The bridge is raised once all they're aboard

59
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:12,319
in a way they sail. A spy would identify when

60
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:16,319
this happened, what ships were involved, and prepare accordingly. The

61
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,240
spies in Germany were also tasked with identifying the railroad

62
00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:22,080
hubs used to transfer the tanks. How better to slow

63
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,560
them down than to damage that relatively large confluence of

64
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,360
rails and determinal buildings. This is where harrison and dynamite

65
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:32,960
can play a role. Remember the recent incidents of fire

66
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,159
and explicably breaking out ammunition dumps in Western Europe. While

67
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:38,159
the recruited spies were said to have been advised on

68
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,479
these methods as well. They also look for train schedules

69
00:03:41,479 --> 00:03:44,000
and local access risks. The trains work their way to

70
00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:46,560
training areas, often on a regular schedule. This schedule is

71
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,439
important to know. Those of us who laised within local

72
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:52,280
police need to be aware of who among the local

73
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,599
nationals would have access to the train schedules if I

74
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,800
was working with them. Social engineering are local bars. This

75
00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:02,240
is the easiest part of the espionage scenario training areas

76
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,280
and it's notorious for having bars in the vicinity. These

77
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,360
are preferred information collection points. Any number of clever tricks

78
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,719
can be employed against your team members there. If you

79
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:13,199
have soldiers or company employees or train them on new

80
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,400
tanks for air defense weapons, someone will try to steal

81
00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:18,879
their information. And of course you also have the famous

82
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,160
romeos and honey traps. Right the man a woman seated

83
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,920
near him or her at a bar likely to ask

84
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:26,920
indirect questions, where are you from? Where are you going?

85
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,399
Up to you leave? Do you have anyone who's waiting

86
00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:31,360
for you? Can we meet again? And what lonely soldier

87
00:04:31,399 --> 00:04:33,480
wouldn't like to be asked to meet again, especially by

88
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,920
someone who's only looking for a friend or somebody who's

89
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,959
attractive or what they may be. You need to be

90
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,399
able to prepare your individuals for this. So there's your

91
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,920
interesting tips here about Russian spies in Germany and how

92
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,240
they're operating over there and what the American military is

93
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,079
doing to combat it.
