- Abstract
- This paper discusses the so-called East-Berlin Affair in
the late 1960s which is considered the single most
important political and diplomatic affair between South
Korea and West Germany. In this research we aim to
present an overview of the related archival materials
available at the political archives of the Getman Ministry
of Foreign Affairs in Berlin. The German. documents from
the political archives reveal that South Korean nationals
suspected of espionage activities against South Korea were
forced to leave for Seoul suddenly and that the
intelligence officials from South Korea were deeply involved
in the German territory for this unlawful operation. The
West German government became very upset with this
diplomatic affair. Korean government eventually released
all the accused who were later found guilty of espionage
against South Korea. However, we notice some differences in diplomatic strategies between the two countries for
solving the case at issue.
