It’s nearly 34 years since the Berlin Wall came down and I remember it like it was recent history. In June I was in Berlin visiting the wall, former Stasi sites, and finding more items for the Cold War / Cyber Espionage museum.

On the other side of the world in Sydney Australia that collection is taking shape.

Here’s some items including:
- a huge surveillance camera off the wall, a searchlight and a siren
- border / warning signs incl from Gleinicke (bridge of spies)
- hand carved wood Stasi EhrenTeller (honorary award plate)
- uniform and personal effects of the head warden from the Stasi women’s prison at Hoheneck
