Mission
Mission A Cold War Remembrance By: Thomas Wyckoff LTC, US Army (Ret.) For fifty years following World War II, the US Military Liaison Mission (USMLM) to the Soviet Forces in East Germany was one of the premier intelligence collection organizations in the Cold War struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. Operating “behind the lines” with excellent access to front line Soviet Forces in East Germany, the officers and non-commissioned officers of the allied Military Liaison Missions conducted continuous, close-up monitoring of the most powerful ground and air forces of the Soviet Union: those directly confronting NATO forces along the inter-German border. The author was a USMLM liaison officer for four years (1982-1986). He conducted 165 missions into East Germany, performing close surveillance of the nineteen Soviet divisions located there. Mission is a personal recollection of those surveillance activities. It is a close-up view of an organization that, for fifty years, stood on the cutting edge of the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union
Cold War Berlin: An Island City
Cold War Berlin – An Island City Volume 4: US Forces in Berlin – Preparing For War 1945–1994 examines how the troops of the US Army’s Berlin Brigade prepared for war: the units that made up the brigade; how it trained; how it was equipped; how it planned to defend the city; and also looks at the Special Forces units that served alongside it. At the end of the Second World War, the victors split Germany into three zones of occupation, and Berlin was divided into four sectors: one each for the British, Americans, French and Soviets.

Potsdam Mission
Recently declassified information makes it possible for the first time to tell part of the story behind the Cold War intelligence operations of the U.S. Military Liaison Mission (USMLM) to the Commander of the Soviet Army in Communist East Germany. Intelligence collection often led to dangerous encounters with the Cold War spies, Soviet and East German armies. On occasion, Allied officers and non-commissioned officers were seriously injured. Before it all ended with the collapse of the Iron Curtain, one French sergeant and one American officer had been killed. Potsdam Mission traces the development of the author into a Soviet/Russian specialist and U.S. Army intelligence officer. The author then relates his own intelligence collection forays into East Germany by taking the reader on trips that include several harrowing experiences and four arrests/detentions by the Soviets. Finally, the author describes the challenges and rewards of interpreting at USMLM and comments on the important role played by the Mission in Cold War intelligence. Readers who are searching for nonfiction espionage titles and military autobiography books wouldn't want to miss this masterpiece!
