Spy things
Do you want to plunge into the world of spy gadgets early and mid-20th century?
Wellcome!
Espionage is a dangerous business.
It requires various advanced tools for gathering information. Modern technology allows to watch even from space, but during the Cold War and before the spy devices require a high degree of art in the treatment of men and wome engaged in this dangerous business
Most of the devices that are shown in this collection are hidden listening devices, or as they are called "bugs».
Bugs were the main means of obtaining information during the Cold War - they were tiny, they can be hidden anywhere, they used radio waves to transmit the call.
Perhaps the most notorious case of bugs, another was a case of "bugs in a large press." A group of Soviet students in 1945 gave US Ambassador Averell Harriman (Averell Harriman) carved out of wood, a large state seal as a "friendly gesture".
Only in 1952 the bug was discovered, and the printing all this time was in the ambassador's residence.
A microphone hidden inside was passive, and activated only when it is needed.
To do this from a truck parked on the street, into the office after sending radio waves, and then commit changes diaphragm microphone inside the cavity.
When the Soviet intelligence was turned off the radio waves, the bug is almost impossible to detect. Scouts can listen to the conversation of the American ambassador for 6 years.
The place where it was hidden bug
Photo bug Martini (1966), the bug was worth about $ 500, a microphone is designed as a toothpick could catch the conversation at a distance of 30 meters.
Makrofoto treacherous olives, in which the transmitter is hidden.
Another spy device that is out of date in many respects but one: a huge Lighter ...
... Which contains a powerful bug.
Spy abandoned to the enemy requires that it is not tracked. A pair of pads on the shoes that leave hoof prints, they were used by bootleggers in the United States.
This camera takes great pictures straight from the wrist of your hand.
The film which is used in the camera built into a wristwatch.
The camera cane. This was used in the early 20th century.
Miniature book with codes that were seized from an alleged Russian spy in England.
Nazi Enigma cipher machine, invented by Arthur Scherbius (Arthur Scherbius). Thanks to the work of British military hackers had cracked the code of the machine at the beginning of the war.
Decryption is a difficult matter, but much harder to find a secret message. This seemingly innocuous message is actually a message to a group of Nazi spies who spied in New York before the United States entered the Second World War. The FBI intercepted a message ...
... And lighting ultraviolet light revealed the real message. Spies used special pencils, the FBI covered the group until she was able to do real damage.
Microfilm with diagrams of tanks, planes and other military facilities that confiscated Nazi spy.
After the spy encrypt messages must pass it connected.
This pencil contains encrypted messages from Soviet intelligence Genrikhovich William Fisher, also known under the name of Rudolf Ivanovich Abel. Passed Hayahanen Abel Reynaud, who fled to the United States from the Soviet Union. Abel was arrested in 1957
Any spy on a mission must have a pack of fake documents.
Photo: Peter Deryabina Soviet identity, the highest-ranking officer who fled to the West from the Soviet Union.
Deryabin worked for the KGB, and even had a personal bodyguard of Stalin. The CIA called priceless all the information he leaked it.
Miniature cameras and microfilm are on a par with bugs in order of importance in obtaining information. To get a top-secret blueprints or paper required that the camera was so tiny, they can do what designers and engineers.
Nowadays, most of the aerial photographs are obtained by drones and satellites. But in the 1950s it was the most advanced means of U-2 plane.
The plane could not take pictures from a height of 2 kilometers and remain invisible to Soviet radar and surface to air missiles.
For the first time the public learned about the aircraft in 1960, when was shot down near Sverdlovsk Francis Gary Powers.
Just like in the James Bond film Powers have been silenced pistol. Paeursa subsequently exchanged for Rudolf Abel.
Listening to the phone is as old as the phone itself, and while talking about the legality of this activity is constantly underway in terms of intelligence gathering there is no question.
Another way to listen to the phone - it record a conversation at one end of the wire directly into the tube.
A more complex version of the conventional door peephole, which is used by spies.
Demonstrate how to use this eye.
The camera is in a tie early 20th century
The camera in the button
The camera is made as a photo album
The camera is made like a gun
The camera is configured as a pair of binoculars
Recording equipment, which was found in the apartment of Peter and Helen Kroger (Morris and Lona Cohen), who later Americans convicted of spying for Russia.
Just a handful of spy cameras
An important part of intelligence - a counterintelligence. Most bugs transmitted radio wave, and therefore they can be detected by the detector.
It is not always easy to scout access to information, we have to break.
Beetle built-in light switch.
An FBI agent shows how a letter can be hidden in a double envelope.
In the field, in the absence of high-tech clamping devices, the scout should be able to use the means at hand. The photograph uses the method of developing pictures in the field.
The complete and very good result in the manufacture of photo field.
And remember, a real spy would never blame the tools at his failure, but he has always been praised for their assistance.
Successful exploration!
