    Stasi Id

    I am new to this DDR stuff, and I have a question! I realize that the STASI had both a uniformed and plain clothes section. Did the plain clothes section operate like the KGB or GESTAPO? What type of ID did they carry? Thanks for the info.

    Hey Rick...First, welcome to the DDR forum glad to have you on board and hope to see more posts and threads from you.

    Second, I hope to answer your questions or at least attempt too. Overall the MfS did operate like the KGB and GESTAPO. There was a point that overall the KGB leadership had to do was give the MfS the mission and the MfS would come back with the mission successfully completed. I am posting additional WAF links below to assist you in your questions.
