Around three weeks ago, the WaPo folks said that 150 to 200 Russians, with diplomatic immunity....were in reality....spies in Germany, up until the war started.
After the war started, the Germans kinda told them to 'leave'.
But then you start to wonder....how many Russian spies exist in Germany today....without diplomatic immunity? You know....the sleeper agents, the bakery shop agents, the imbis agents, and so on.
In the West Germany days, the US wanted to believe over a thousand Soviet agents were wandering around Germany. Proof? Nothing really.
If you wanted a guess? I'd take a wild guess of 300-odd secret agents.....some in legit jobs....some just pretending to work. But the thing is....what of value are you turning in each week? A 3 x 5 inch index card of marginal crap....where two German Army privates were talking about a ultra-modern sleeping bag that they are testing?
That's the thing about it....you could have 300 secret agents feeding you stuff each week, and only one single report of four lines seems to be of any value.
Germans getting hyped up about this? I doubt it. On their list of crappy things to worry about.....this probably only rates near 400 out of a list of 500 things. They might worry more about six British secret agents (all called 007-1, 007-2, 007-3, etc). Or they might worry about the cost of beer doubling by summer of 2023.
