Wolfgang Vogel, the man who acted as an intermediary for East
Germany in spy swaps with the West during the Cold War, has died
aged 82.
From the 1960s until the fall of the East German regime in
1989, Vogel was in charge of organising spy swaps between the two
blocs. Vogel oversaw the sale of East German political prisoners or
would-be emigrants to West Germany.
