Sexpionage [29min]

"Sunday Best" rebroadcasts Programme 2 of "Sleeping with the Enemy" from From November 2004. In the 1970s espionage and counter-espionage were accepted as a means of ensuring national security. The Cold War continued, and there was everything to play for. No means of getting information were eschewed, and sex was good currency. In that climate, the KGB and the Stasi institutionalised the use of seduction to devastating effect. "Sleeping with the Enemy" tells the story of the KGB's 'Agent Scot' -- a former Metropolitan police officer who, for eight years, travelled the globe befriending and seducing women potentially of use to Soviet intelligence. Meanwhile in West Germany, Gabriella Kliem -- a secretary at the American Embassy in Bonn -- had met the love of her life. Over a period of years, she photographed hundreds of secret documents for the charming man who became her fiance. She never knew, she says, that he was a Stasi 'romeo' spy with a wife back in East Germany.
