WHO TO BEFRIEND
Erich Mielke
The saying goes keep your frie
close and your enemies closer
This is especially true in East
Berlin. A true psychopath, Eric
Mielke is theheadoftheStasi
and a powerful, treacherous
man. A long-time associate of
Ulbricht, Mielke’s past is simila
murky. Like Ulbricht, Mielke
has been implicated in murder
and masterminded some of Ea
Germany’s cruellest agendas.
As the minister of State
Security, you’ll want to stay
on Mielke’s good side – while
he certainly won’tdoyouany
favours, maybehemightletsl
a few names of undercover Sta
members to avoid.
Extra tip:
If you want to get by safely in East Berlin, you’d better find your
communist roots. With the German Democratic Republic made
up of Germany’s staunchest communists – and backed by the
Soviet Union – conforming to the government’s expectations is
your only hope of living your life without bother.
