Yes, I would've myself thought that a CIA recruiter who suddenly comes upon a 22 year old American in Germany out of a sudden, with an offer of money, car, and a ticket to USSR must be a communist spy himself trying to pull off some trickery.

- kingcharles 5y agoThere's also the point that he doesn't seem interested in filling in the details about what happened. So, is he just trying to retain some privacy from a dumb mistake, or is he hiding something? IT IS A MYSTERY!
- jerzyt 5y agoIn 1961 the KGB would be on any foreigner from day one. No surprise at all. In 1979 I crossed from Poland to Russia by train, and while we were stopped for the axles to be changed to the wider track gauge, I moved from one railroad car to another to hang with my friends. When Russians discovered that one car had a missing passenger and another had an extra one, they checked the entire train and we were delayed good several ours.
- kingcharles 5y agoDon't you love those axle changes though? Every time I go through one I think.. we could just switch trains.
