The story of Otto John is worth a read; it tells something of the complexity of the human being.
Click on Otto John.
On this day, July 20, 1955 as head of West Germany's secret service, he defected to the German Democratic Republic.
Whatever about moving West East how did he manage 14 months late to return to the Federal Republic? Who was this man?
It so happens he moved West East on the anniversary of Claus von Stauffenberg's attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944.
Still today, Germany lives with the nightmare of the Hitler dictatorship.
Unfortunately and worryingly, there's an ever-growing interest in Hitler.
