"I won't apologise for anything. I can only apologise for not having worked more efficiently", states former Stasi spy Peter Wolter. He maintains that the thousands of people tortured and imprisoned were; "quite rightly punished".

As Anna Funder, author of 'Stasiland' states; "these were people writing doctoral theses on how to destroy a soul".
