The demise of the GDR, October 1, 2020

We take our imaginations back to the former GDR to meet with Shaday Larios who went to Berlin with his agency of object detectives, in order to study the relationship of the neighbors of the communist part of Berlin with those objects characteristic of that regime, such as the mesh bags, ideal to avoid the indiscreet looks of the Stasi. Objects that, by the way, are still highly valued by Berliners today. The publishing house The Broken Nail published a few months ago his book Object Detectives in which the tribulations of this very particular agency are explained, during its investigations in Girona, Barcelona and Berlin, the city that concerns us today.
