WASHINGTON ? The elite unit that
U.S. Army Mai. Arthur D. Nicholson
joined in 1982 has been gathering intelligence
in East Germany since the dawn
of the cold war under a little-known
agreement that enables the Soviets to do
likewise in West Germany.
It has always been a dangerous game on
both sides, described by one former
member of the U.S. unit as "a hairy experience."
The game turned deadly on
Sunday with the fatal shooting of
Nicholson by a Soviet soldier standing
guard in a small town in East Germany.
Those familiar with the U.S. Military
Li lison Mission in Potsdam, East Germany,
say its work has always involved
the element of danger.
"We'd go in a 90 miles per hour between
11 at night and I in the morning to
try to keep the Russians from seeing
w liv.lt wv WVIW Kv'm,6? iiiv iuimivi ivumi
member said Monday.
"It's a very hairy experience," he said.
"There aren't any rules. It's a very
dangerous job. It doesn't surprise me that
someone was killed. I'm surprised it
hasn'i happened before."

He and other military sources talked
about the unit only on condition they not
be identified.
The 14-mcmbcr team was established in
1947, when the Soviet occupiers of East
Germany agreed to let American, British
and French observers set up shop in
Potsdam in return for similar rights in all
three Western zones.
Potsdam, for centuries a garrison town,
was picked by the Soviets for their Ger
man headquarters after World War II and
was the site of the 1945 summit meeting in
which President Harry Truman and
Soviet leader Josef Stalin refined the
framework under which Germany has
been divided for four decades.
The stated purpose of the observer
teams was to provide contact between
headquarters, help settle legal disputes
that arose from the occupation and give
all four countries a chancc to show their
flags in both Germany*.
"I'd say that even from the start the job
was 95 percent intelligence and 5 percent
waving the flag," said the former team
member.
