"The Dark History of the Stasi: East Germany's Surveillance State"
Script
Did you know that in East Germany, the secret police, known as the Stasi, had a network of over 170,000 informants, spying on their own citizens, including friends, family, and even their own children? They even used a technique called "Zersetzung" or "Decomposition" to drive their targets to the brink of insanity by messing with their mail, furniture, and even their cat's litter box. One poor guy got so paranoid he thought his wife was a spy, only to find out it was his best friend who was ratting him out. The Stasi's motto? "We know what you think, even when you don't think it."
