2022-06-12 10:00:04 Journalists filming the latest exchange of declassified agents on the "spy" Glinik Bridge, FRG, 1986.

The Glinik Bridge over the Hafel River connects Berlin's Wannsee district and the adjacent city of Potsdam. Before German unification, the middle of the bridge was the border between West and East Berlin, and during the Cold War it was repeatedly used for prisoner exchanges. Such cases were not always made public. The most famous exchange took place on February 10, 1962, when Soviet spy Rudolf Abel was exchanged for American pilot Francis Gary Powers. Such an operation was first widely covered by the press. Based on this story, Spielberg made a movie called Bridge of Spies with Tom Hanks.
