Dear All,
Kind of as a follow-up to my interview with Miranda Carter, the
biographer of British art historian and Russian spy Anthony Blunt:

here's the link to an ARTE documentary on Jeffrey Carney alias Jens
Karney, one of the most effective American spies working (in West
Germany) for the East Germans:

The docu was on ARTE a few days ago. It's an absolutely fascinating
story, especially if (like me) one's never heard of the guy. Carney's
German is brilliant too.
Here's the Wiki entry, BTW:
