A longtime member of organized crime recounts his criminal career, his involvement in the six-million dollar Lufthansa robbery, and his decision to become a federal witness

Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges entwickelten sich auf deutschem Boden ab 1949 zwei selbstständige Staaten. In beiden Ländern begannen die Behörden spätestens bis zur Mitte der 1950er Jahre mit dem Aufbau einer zivilen Luftfahrt. Auf ostdeutscher Seite entstand dabei die Deutsche Lufthansa Ost, die nach langwierigen juristischen Auseinandersetzungen mit der westdeutschen Seite 1963 den Namen Interflug erhielt. Doch was waren die Beweggründe in der östlichen Hälfte Deutschlands, ein völlig neues Luftfahrtunternehmen zu schaffen? Anders als im Westen hatte man keinerlei technische und infrastrukturelle Grundlagen zu bieten, die den schnellen und erfolgreichen Aufbau dieses Verkehrszweiges rechtfertigten. War es tatsächlich das Ziel, der zivilen Luftfahrt eine außenpolitische Grundbedeutung für die DDR zu geben? Versuchte man damit, den durch die BRD betriebenen Alleinvertretungsanspruch und die Hallstein-Doktrin zu umgehen bzw. zu beenden?
