I'm thinking I might have linked to this before...seems like I would have. But just in case I didn't:
This web exhibition was put together by the Berliner Landesbeauftragten für die Stasi-Unterlagen and has some interesting photographs of the GDR in the late '50s and early '60s, including the construction of the Wall. The original captions, which are generally critical of the GDR, suggest that the pictures were part of a sort of fact-finding mission by the West German (formally East German) photographer. He was later captured (arrested? taken captive? kidnapped? detained?) by the Stasi and imprisoned under suspiscion of espionage.
