My great uncle passed away recently, and he was a spy for the US government in Berlin (not sure which side) during the Cold War in the 50s and 60s. He took all his secrets to the grave. What is it likely he did while there?

I also know that he spoke four languages: Russian, English, German, and Spanish. He never once talked about his mission/his work, only that he was stationed in Berlin. Even his wife never knew anything, or if she did she never spoke of it to anybody else. Is most of the work we did at the time in the US still classified, or could someone here shed more light on the subject?

Berlin AuslΓ€nderbehΓΆrde without appointment

Just thought I'd add to the AuslΓ€nderbehΓΆrde narrative. This is all in regards to Building C, 2nd floor.

I went Aug 6, 2019 without an appointment. I debated getting there early, then opted to try waking up at 6 and refreshing the appointment site. After a couple hours of nothing, I went to the AuslΓ€nderbehΓΆrde and got there around 845 AM. I went up to the second floor in building C and there the number machines weren't working, so I assumed all was lost as there is no info anywhere in the building. I then went to the Rechtsabteilung office hoping my problem could be solved there. Nope, they happened to be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (not quite sure when they're actually open). So, I asked the nice lady outside selling coffee and cakes where I could get help and she told me to go to the security guy. I asked him what to do, and he said don't come on Thursdays, but come on a Monday around 6 AM.

OR, I could go to room 218 in Building C and ask about getting a number. I went there and instantly got a number. I was number 53 and they were at number 23 around 915 AM. So I left, went to the Aldi, walked around came back. Eventually I got in and got all my stuff taken care of. All in all it took about 4 hours.

(M4F) Berlin 1980, Red Sparrow Style Assassin/Spy plot and Setting

I'm J, an avid role player, movie watcher, fan of all things action and adventure and I've been away for a couple of months due to a recent tragedy in my life. If I ghosted you, I'm sorry, a lot going on at once. I am back though, for the most part, and I am looking to start up some cold war antics.

Plot outline: My character is a CIA operative looking to recruit a female into a black op called Snow Angel. The purpose of this op is to place a capable and deadly agent inside one of the most dangerous and corrupt cities in the world in order to gain secrets and take out key targets inside the USSR and the KGB. The role play will cover her recruiting, her training, and eventually her being placed inside Berlin to execute her orders.

My Rules: Please be 21+ years of age. My limits are standard, no role playing out things that are way out there (bestiality, rape, incest,underage) and plot before smut. I'm here for a good story and lots of blood and guts, a little sex is fine but we need to build up to that.

Me: I'm 39 year old male. I write, teach, and role play in various forms and fashions. I like to chat with my partners and I like to get to know them as we discuss and world build. I write between 500 to 2500 words a post, just depending on story and flow, and I reply often. I can RP over discord or google docs, or email.

Interested? message me.
