Description
Summary:In the autumn of 1961, a KGB assassin defected to West Germany. Bogdan Stashinsky had already travelled on numerous occasions to Munich, where he had singlehandedly tracked down and killed the enemies of the communist regime. His weapon was a specially designed secret: it killed without leaving any trace. Stashinsky crossed into West Berlin just hours before the Berlin Wall was erected and spilled his secrets to the authorities. This is the true story of the man that inspired Ian Fleming's 'The Man With the Golden Gun'
