September 2, 2009 is the Berlin Spy Tunnel's 55th Birthday
Auspiciously, the Military Writers Society of America (MWSA) has selected Voices Under Berlin: The Tale of a Monterey Mary the Book of the Month for September, in time for the anniversary of the tunnel rats striking water fifty-five years ago, on 8 September 1954. That almost stopped the whole project. Pumps, however, solved that problem, and the tunnel eventually ran almost 1500 feet under the border between the American and Russian sectors of Berlin to tap three subsurface telephone cables carrying Russian and East-German communications.September 2, 2008 is the Berlin Spy Tunnel's 54th Birthday
Fifty-four years ago on September the second, 1954, army engineers began digging the vertical shaft for the CIA's Berlin Spy Tunnel. The tunnel was discovered by the Soviets on 22 April, 1956, after eleven months, eleven days of operation, and people have been talking about it ever since. On the tunnel's birthday, the talk continues on "Dave White Presents" on KSAV radio at 10:300 p.m. (EST)/7:30 p.m. (PST), when Wesley Britton interviews T.H.E. Hill, the author of Voices Under Berlin: The Tale of a Monterey Mary.
You can listen to the interview off-line from the www.KSAV.org archive, which can be found at www.audioentertainment.org, where it is listed as the program of 3 September. The interview runs from about minute 14 to minute 30 of the broadcast.
He has donated signed copies of Voices Under Berlin to the The Association For Intelligence Officers (AFIO) Charity Auction, to the National Cryptologic Museum Foundation silent auction, the 2008 Field Station Berlin Reunion in Boston and to the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) 67th Anniversay Ball.
