Now that I know he makes mention of the KGB association with the Stasi they effectively created and kept under their wing mainly because East Germany was the most western border and people crossed over from one side to the other daily for a number of reasons. If someone was going from East to West, then they had to have security clearance of a very high level which brings the Stasi and KGB into the picture.

Now for the next question, where should I go to get a copy of the relevant book (the volume with the KGB references) and how much should I expect to have to pay?

Thanks in advance,

Phillip, The book is Stasi Decorations and Memorabilia, Volume II by Ralph Pickard. Ralph says main shipment of books have left the printers he should have it by the last week of December.

He is taking pre-orders, the cost will be $79 USD plus postage. After which the price will be $89 USD plus postage.

Ralph's still working with his webmaster to get paypal up and running so the book can be paid for through his website. However you can e-mail him through the Blog he set up for the book and he will provide you with the needed information on how to pre-order and pay for the book.

Ralph just updated his blog and added a buy Vol II page at: Buy Volume II | Stasi Decorations and Memorabilia

For those folks who do not have Vol I he is offering a bundle deal for Vol I & II together at a reduced price.

He is only printing 750 copies of Vol II, all of which will numbered on the title page. So those that want a low numbered book should consider pre-ordering.
