America V Russia - Hot Lips and Sinking Ships... Vol 2

in #art7 years ago

Soooooo, last week we took a look at some street art. The location is very remote, and I know that you will never see the likes of this, even if you live in Berlin, so I thought that I should share, complete with detail. So here goes...

This is Teuelsburg, a weird, beautiful, mysterious place!
The Americans used it for a listening station, to spy on the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

They used this listening station to intercept both public and encrypted messages from the Russians. The Russians knew this, and therefore created their own 'fake news' over their information distribution systems. The Americans knew they were doing this, as you can imagine this created a pretty weird dynamic between the American and Russian intel community (more to come on this in a later post!)

Now this was the moustache that sunk a thousand ships!!!

And I know that you came here for the HOT LIPS, not the sinking ships so may I present.....

Love it. But there's a typo. The place is called "Teufelsberg"
not "Teuelsburg".

Haha, yes I keep making this mistake!
