Jens Klein: Ballons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783959055772)

Archival excavations of carrier balloons flown between West Germany and the GDR

When the Berlin wall was established, West Germans would attach leaflets, magazines and books to gas-filled balloons, dropping them over into the GDR. This volume juxtaposes photos from the Stasi archives with text logs documenting the flight of such balloons and the consequences of their landings.
