Abstract
After 1945 the most important everyday mission performed on the border between the cold and the hot war was, however, the one fulfilled by forces which belonged to a less visible but still extremely important formation – namely the Intelligence Services, Counter-intelligence Services and, above all, their agents and analysts. While a cold-war tension was rising and the two German states were built, a territory of the current Federal Republic of Germany turned into one of the biggest fronts of world espionage. An experience which stems from the observation of the activities of the Intelligence Services operating on the German territory indicate, that every state in the world, which is a contact point for possible confrontation of stronger subjects, becomes an object of focus for many Intelligence Services. Therefore, it is important to, apart from developing partner relations with other countries, strive for the best possible protection of the country’s own interest.

One of the most secret affairs in the age of the Cold War, was a process of creating a intelligence backroom and logistic bases on the territory of Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) by the KGB and the GRU agents.[16]. These bases were supposed to be used during redeployment of the Specnaz GRU and the KGB, whose soldiers underwent a set of preparation procedures concerning an attack on the key FRG and the United States’ military, political and industrial installations, which were located in the West Germany.[17]
At the turn of the 21st century, a major threat the BND has to face comes from Islamic terrorist groups and some international extreme rightists, e.g. Combat 18 or Blood and Honour, connected with the groups operating in the FRG
