Never said I did (well, not politically at least).
I was in West Berlin, and I am aware that the Vopos at Kochstrasse/Zimmerstrasse (the DDR name for Charlie) were not the Stasi, nor were they the Vopos in other places and I assume we are limiting the realm to the DDR here, not Romania or the U.S.S.R., etc.
