We continue the story of Victor Grossman the US Army soldier who defected to East Germany in the 1960s. He tells us of his life in the GDR, his close friendship with Dean Reed “The Red Elvis”, of shortages, his views on Egon Krenz and his first trip back to the US in the 1990s.
Special thanks to our select band of supporters who are helping us financially for the price of a cup of coffee a month to cover our increasing costs and keep us on the air. They are the proud owners of a CWC coaster- don’t you want one too?

Now back to today’s episode. While some of you will disagree with Victor’s views, his first hand account of his experiences is an important part of Cold War history.
We start my Cold War Conversation with Victor telling about the neighbours in his apartment block.
