"It is a secret place, and people like secret places. They know that it was an important place but the details - they have no idea. So I think there is the mystique of a secret place is really the most important thing. And those who know something of the period - they find it interesting as well."

"The station on Teufelsberg was a central spying station for the allies' intelligence services. The Americans operated it but the information was shared with the British, the French and the West Germany intelligence agency. They collected thousands of pieces of information everyday. They were listening to radio signals and communication systems all the way to Ukraine."

"It is really really spooky. The hairs on my back when I came here and I saw this for the first time� It was quite amazing. It wouldn't be like a lost lover because it wasn't that sort of place. But it was really quite remarkable after 44, 45 years that one would come back. It was quite something, quite something."
