STASI Bunker
The Ministry for State Security (German: Ministerium für Staatssicherheit, MfS), commonly known as the Stasi was the official state security service of the GDR.
It has been described as one of the most effective and repressive intelligence and secret police agencies in the world. Between 1950 and 1989, the Stasi employed a total of 274,000 people. Officially this number included 173,081 unofficial informants inside GDR and 1,553 informants in West Germany Although according to a federal commissioner in charge of the Stasi archives in Berlin, there were likely closer to 500,000 Stasi informers
By at least one estimate, the Stasi maintained greater surveillance over its own people than any secret police force in history.
The Stasi had its main building in Berlin with lots of secret bunkers dotted around the GDR; this is the communications bunker for one of the satellite locations.
