• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well a fascinating story about Russian spies in Germany. Most
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: American service personnel station in Germany, known as Graph as
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it's colloquially known, Americans heading toward the training area by
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: helicopter would often see long flapbed cars on trains carrying
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: tanks to that particular area. Now in today's world is
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the largest training area maintained by the United States and
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Germany and the site of armored vehicle training, army posts,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and air force bases. Though are only some of the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: targets zeroed in on by the Russians. They will seek
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: out any venue used to train their adversariess, especially the Ukrainians.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: They know that the three spies captured and charged by
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the Germans were enlisted by the Russians first as spies
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and potential future saboteurs and arsonists. These Russian Germans were
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: also directed to photograph and video the loading platforms and
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: significant companies involved in these Ukrainian training sites. The intelligence
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: gathering is believed to be only preparatory for attacks, which
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: would limit the value such combat intensive training. Of course,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: knowing what type of vehicles to photograph and report it
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: was indeed critical at Graph and newer American tanks and
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: armored vehicles were brought for shakedown, training, and maintenance. Spies
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: can also gain advantage for their masters by knowing where
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: damaged enemy vehicles go for repairs. If your company is
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the recipient of miles of long flatbeds carrying damage armored vehicles,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: then you too will be targeted. They want to know
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: how the vehicles were damaging, whether the damage is easily repaired.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: For these reasons, the routes to and from factories or
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: repair centers are critical. They need to have security personnel
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to know to observe all those surrounding and wandering around
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the plants. One method employed by a smart security guard
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: was to photograph a given bus stop in front of
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: his company area. He did so every fifteen minutes to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: see who was lingering and who never left, indeed, who
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: was photographing outside the plant. If anybody was, ask your
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: staff who among them might have been a roach for
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: unusual things is another good defense mechanism. One side edition,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: one sanitation staff member overseas was offered one hundred dollars
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: just to retrieve documents from the trash in English writing.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: When he said he meet the request again, he was
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a company by law enforcement. Spies are not superheroes, but
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: will often go for the lowest hanging fruit. Here, they
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: suspected a low level cleaner would never be briefed and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: were shocked to discover he was not only briefed, but
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: received a huge bonus for turning in the spy. Does
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: your company offer bonuses to those who report unusual happenings interesting?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Do you train them to look for unusual happenings things
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: like the adversary? Thinking like the adversary's key. Remember, you
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: have to think like your adversary, the spy when you
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: plan your defense. Let's think about the tank sent from
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: America to defend the Ukraine. They're sent via ship. With
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the new rowrow system, the ship which carries them can
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: be easily identified. ROBO stands for roll on, roll off.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: This is a method of delivery which saves huge amounts
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: of time, as the seaport no longer a vehicles lifted
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: by chains and deposited one by one in the hold
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of a ship. Rather, the arm of cars or tanks
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: simply roll one behind the other into the ships hold.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Over a steel bridge connected to the aft portion of
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: a ship. The bridge is raised once all they're aboard
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: in a way they sail. A spy would identify when
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: this happened, what ships were involved, and prepare accordingly. The
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: spies in Germany were also tasked with identifying the railroad
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: hubs used to transfer the tanks. How better to slow
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: them down than to damage that relatively large confluence of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: rails and determinal buildings. This is where harrison and dynamite
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: can play a role. Remember the recent incidents of fire
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and explicably breaking out ammunition dumps in Western Europe. While
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the recruited spies were said to have been advised on
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: these methods as well. They also look for train schedules
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and local access risks. The trains work their way to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: training areas, often on a regular schedule. This schedule is
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: important to know. Those of us who laised within local
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: police need to be aware of who among the local
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: nationals would have access to the train schedules if I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: was working with them. Social engineering are local bars. This
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: is the easiest part of the espionage scenario training areas
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and it's notorious for having bars in the vicinity. These
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: are preferred information collection points. Any number of clever tricks
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: can be employed against your team members there. If you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: have soldiers or company employees or train them on new
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: tanks for air defense weapons, someone will try to steal
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: their information. And of course you also have the famous
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: romeos and honey traps. Right the man a woman seated
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: near him or her at a bar likely to ask
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: indirect questions, where are you from? Where are you going?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Up to you leave? Do you have anyone who's waiting
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: for you? Can we meet again? And what lonely soldier
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: wouldn't like to be asked to meet again, especially by
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: someone who's only looking for a friend or somebody who's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: attractive or what they may be. You need to be
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: able to prepare your individuals for this. So there's your
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: interesting tips here about Russian spies in Germany and how
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: they're operating over there and what the American military is
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: doing to combat it.
