Colleagues in German Studies may be interested in the following documentary, in which I was involved. It focuses on the BBC German Service’s programme “Briefe ohne Unterschrift” (1949-1975), following the stories of several GDR citizens who wrote to the BBC, the Stasi’s efforts to track down these letter writers, and the BBC’s connections to secret departments at the Foreign Office.
“London Calling: Cold War Letters” airs on BBC 4 on Thursday, 7 November, 8pm, and will be available on iPlayer thereafter: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000b1h0
There will also be a German version broadcast on ARD on 18 November, 11.30pm. For more information, see: https://www.rbb-online.de/unternehmen/presse/presseinformationen/programm/2019/11/20191118-london-calling.html
All best,
Emily
