About this listen

Wednesday, January 11, 1984: How an application to leave the country and a single letter to a lawyer should get the Stasi on board.

The flap opens. Stationery and a list of lawyers are passed through. A short letter to one of them. An attachment with the heading “Application to leave the country”.

Memory log of a letter I wrote to the Stasi in Rostock in November. Cramped verbiage. As reactionary as necessary and as unambiguous as possible.

Right or wrong – the main thing is to get the documents to the lawyer. Let him clarify how to do it properly through the courts. Let’s see what happens. All Quiet in the Eastern Jail.
