This Cold War-era classic video - originally titled as "Espionage Target - You!" - is a dramatized training film produced by the U.S. Department of Defense. It was intended for military personnel in positions abroad. It was released in 1964.
The film aims to prevent military personnel from providing information to foreign spies. It exposes the worldwide operation of the Sino-Soviet espionage system and shows how Communist agents used any means to obtain vital information from military personnel. The film reconstructs three actual cases to demonstrate various facets of espionage techniques and methods. It emphasizes the need to be wary of seemingly friendly strangers, whether one is in Europe or Japan, and explains what to do when approached by spies.
Cast & Crew:
- Pete Duel (Alias Smith and Jones) as Pete Karras
- Anthony Eisley as Nick Macrados
- Michael Pataki as Templeton
- Robert Rockwell as Agent
- Natalie Trundy as Mrs. Duncan
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND / CONTEXT
Espionage (colloquially, spying) is the obtaining of secret or confidential information without the permission of the holder of the information. Spies help agencies uncover secret information. Any individual or spy ring (a cooperating group of spies), in the service of a government, company or independent operation, can commit espionage. The practice is clandestine, as it is by definition unwelcome and in many cases illegal and punishable by law. Espionage is a subset of "intelligence" gathering, which includes espionage as well as information gathering from public sources.
Espionage is often part of an institutional effort by a government or commercial concern. However, the term tends to associate with state spying on potential or actual enemies for military purposes. Spying involving corporations is known as industrial espionage.
One of the most effective ways to gather data and information about the enemy (or potential enemy) is by infiltrating the enemy's ranks. This is the job of the spy (espionage agent). Spies can return all sorts of information concerning the size and strength of enemy forces. They can also find dissidents within the enemy's forces and influence them to defect. In times of crisis, spies can also oblige to steal technology and sabotage the enemy in various ways. Counterintelligence is the practice of various means of thwarting enemy espionage and intelligence-gathering. Almost all nations have strict laws concerning espionage and the penalty for being caught is often severe. However, the benefits through espionage are often great enough that most governments and many large corporations make use of it to varying degrees.
Further information on clandestine human intelligence and human intelligence information collection techniques is available, including discussions of operational techniques, asset recruiting, and the tradecraft used to collect this information.
Cold War espionage describes the intelligence gathering activities during the Cold War (circa 1947-1991) between the Western allies (chief US, UK and NATO) and the Eastern Bloc (The Soviet Union and aligned countries of Warsaw Pact). Because each side was preparing to fight the other, intelligence on the opposing side's intentions, military, and technology was of paramount importance. To gather information, the two relied on a wide variety of military and civilian agencies. While several organizations such as the CIA and KGB became synonymous with espionage, many others played key roles in the collection and protection of the section concerning detection of spying, and analysis of a wide host of intelligence disciplines.

Dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the new series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of weeks xD
@Elon Everett yup, I have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :D
This is good advice for all, if stranger or new acquaintance selects you to be extra nice to you, beware.
Or your wife or girlfriend. Don't tell them anything,...

Especially if they start with “Have you ever heard the word of…..”
@@stephennordlinger4112 that's one category of snake, or how about " you can trust me " 😁
This video would still be a valuable training aid today.
How did Airman Teixeira, who was arrested on April 13, 2023 for leaking classified documents to a Discord group of about 50 of his fringe Right Wing buddies miss this film?
I love this channel. Thanks for all the old footage.
You are welcome, Mitch.
I love it tooo!,
Man imagine being able to buy a brand new m14 for less then $100 bucks
Imagine your 100 bucks being worth what it was back then lol
1965 $104 and in 2010 $20,000...it's inflation as a price increase. what are all the factors in the production price that explain basic economics.
This is classic Nick Macredos
I remember watching videos just like this when I was in the Military.
1964. It was full-on. War was the new business model. What a great glimpse into our past this is.
"Hey, one of our M-14's is missing!" "Another one? This place is getting to be a cut-rate gun shop!"
These training videos are way better than the CBTs of today. I wish we'd go back to this kind of stuff.
back when they at least treated people like adults
What you see in that film was still relevant in the mid 1980s when as a 16 year old kid going to college I came across a young serviceman after chatting with him and finding out that he had been reassigned to our little well I can't call it a backwater because it's certainly wasn't but reassigned away from Europe and NATO there was a reason as I told him within 30 minutes I had discovered from him what kind of troops there were what kind of weapons they had where they were positioned Etc he didn't even know he was telling me these things all he knew is that he'd been reassigned because he was seen as a security risk and he didn't know why and I replied you just told me if I had been an enemy agent you told me everything how much the troops were where they were located what kind of equipment they had what kind of weapons were employed the types the armory you told me so much information that if I were an enemy spy you would have been a gold mine it shocked him I said you're lucky I'm a kid and a former military brat and I was trained by my dad to keep my mouth shut and my ears open and to know how to talk to people so yeah this training film is still relevant today just certain parts of it have to be changed because we're in a modern society but up until the 1980s yep it was still relevant.

I swear there was a full stop in there somewhere.
Some guys tend to get really chatty while you're blowing them.
No fucking comma or period.
Great story
Utterly fascinating, thank you for uploading.👌
I used to get my security briefing annually. I was told similar stories. I kept waiting for those "girls" to move in and exploit me. Never happened. All I was told is that I could get twenty years in prison if I was convicted cooperating with foreign agents. I could have had some serious poosay in exchange for what I knew.
Ha ha . Waiting for that exploitation Sounds cool.
poosay lasts a little while, prison is forever.
@@MicheleBohmkeWell no, according to him, it would last 20 years.

funny, that the head of counter inteligence was an kgb officer himself xD crazy times
20:39 Must have been a very cold day huh? 🤣 Anything to get the GIs to pay attention to the film I guess!
I’d tell her anything she wants to know.
I like how that Corporal called that Master Gunnery Sergeant by name lol
Did he say "Tom" or "Top"?
@@allenbranch1824 “Top” which I’m pretty sure is only an Army thing. I think a Master Gunnery Sergeant would have ripped his head off in that situation.
I'm getting really attach to these I'm usually a military kind of guy only and would not normally watch this kind of thing so thanks for getting me bothered into some
Thing else thanks once again you the best.
Thank you for watching, Dale. You are welcome. :)
This is right on. I was approached outside Yokota AB by a guy claiming he was from the Japanese/USSR friendship committee. My girlfriend showed up and he ran off. 1974
These videos are great!
26:42 I like the clipboards.
13:20 I believe that’s a Davy Crockett battlefield nuke launcher. Equal to 10-20 tons of TNT.
19:43 Delta wings around a minaret. Yup, plausible.
better actors writing and soundtrack than many other films like this. Having made a lot of myself I must say this wasn't too shabby. And I hate to tell you but the information in these types of films is still very pertinent today whether it's a foreign power or someone else. Remember 911?
"desire for an easy *buck* "
Had to rewind that, at first, I heard something quite different!
3:09. . Here's a guy pulling up in a Taxi and walking into the front door of the Pentagon. .
ZERO other cars in the area. . .
The Pentagon has approximately 25,000 employees in it. . . But none of them happen to be ANYWHERE near that front door as he goes up the front steps and into the door. .
Curious!
Maybe they filmed on early Sunday morning??
20 years before it was "Parachute" squad...... Now in 1964, it's a "Paranoia" squad.
Is the channel still alive? Latest vid a few years ago.
Thanks for the videos!
"Tumoko! She wanted to know all about Scotty. She kept after me for hours!". MY GOSH CPL. Bissel, DIDN'T YOU SUSPECT SOMETHING??
"Agents of the world-wide Sino-Soviet intelligence network".
Oh, those good old days! The friendship between PRC and USSR, "The Russian and the Chinese are brothers forever" (the line from the old song). It is all over on the Damansky island in 1969, where the Soviet and Chinese soldiers killed each other.
NOOOOOOOOOO
Not much people knows about that, glad to see some one who knows history that's not talked so much about.
nothing good about those days.
Yeah doesn't it make you feel all good inside that Nixon made a deal with them in 1972 that basically screwed over the United States transferred company production over to China and then basically made the United States reliant on China for our industrial sector? Yeah pisses me off.
I recognize some of the famous actors in this
Is this training for the US servicemen or Sino-Soviet agents?
Great advice. F### strangers who like you too much.
The waving of a gun a few did is why i left a range. Nothing wrong with the people that worked there! Just felt unsafe.
Poor little Timoko...guess her oriental flower wasn't good enough.
my ears loved the intro lmao
8000 (450k in today's money with a generous conversion through gold) for a nuke?
Damn the soviet agents were cheap.
Thats Anthony Eisley from Hawaiian Eye!
24:58 Yup. A Japanese(Chinese?) restaurant in Turkey where they don’t have chopsticks.
Was the polish official played by Ogden stiers?
It called the FALL of iron curtain, as soviets announced the free trade.
If only someone had show this to Rep Swallwell
I must have missed it but ur comment made me curious. What did Swalwell do?
27:08 My bad. There they are- the chopsticks 🤩
8:35 Yeah, good idea. Compromise your assets by asking for a fucking rifle. A rifle! 😂
С 27:32 по 29:48 - можно важные выводы извлечь.
14:34 Health and safety gone mad
Is that Pete Duel as the GI at 6:15>
I believe it is....
Every establishment outside of Osan
15: 33 you can spot a young George Kennedy
I thought so. Thanks for confirming my suspicions!
15:33
Sino-Soviet spies! In 1964! Ahah, lol. In general, it's pretty good content to teach unsophisticated GI guys (from the farmer background), but... the reality was a bit different. Good old naive times )) PS. My dad was part of the Soviet military intelligence (at a lower level) at around that time, nothing to do with KGB. They worked against China )) as he was a native Chinese speaker (of Uyghur ethnicity, not ethnic Han Chinese).
Still applies today with Russia and china. Lol.
Even more especially today with Russia invading Ukraine and China laying out ultimatums to the USA if they interfere with their own control plans over Taiwan.
still pertinent today. If you're traveling... just update the clothes in the culture
Quite interesting
@4:18, the FBI literally does that. They probably wrote the book.
25:40 Told you about red tape, didn’t I? And stupidity.
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.
6:53
Tomoko can have whatever whe wants.
23:01 Did the Japanese co- operate with the Soviets? Why not, though? 🤷🏻♀️
The sino sowjet intelligence - no shit baby 😅
7:54 scrap my previous comment. It’s not bureaucracy, but sheer stupidity that causes the demise of… well, basically everything.
8:15 This chap can’t tell right from right… or he works for Mossad.
"Trust no one."
27:20
guy is Chinese communist
*speaks Cantonese*
"Sino- Soviet intelligence network"?
Americans were under the impression that the Chinese and Soviet spy agencies were sharing data. "Sino" is just an old timey way of saying "South east asian"
@@krusk3544 Hard to believe Americans were not aware of the break between China and the USSR. Didn't any of our allies tell us?
@@kindnessfirst9670 We knew, but it made for a better story if it looked like the whole world was against us. Scared people more, so it was easier to influence them
@@krusk3544 "Sino" is an adjective referring specifically to China, not to all of SE Asia. As in "Sino-Russian War".
@@krusk3544 this is not propaganda this is truth
All the cases are about the Soviet, why call it Sino-Soviet (espionage) system?
the last one is Chinese
Well china had their hands in the cookie jar (let's all admit, we all had our hands in the cookie jar). It's just where these people were stationed. It was probably a lot more common to run into soviet spies than chinese spies. Especially in Germany when it was split.
11:44 Priceless 😂 Incriminate the one who had access to THE key that opened all the locks.
No, seriously now. Tell me this is a joke. I’ve always thought (hoped) that people working in secret services are intelligent people. This shit is so bad that it’s lame even as ‘spot the mistake’ material. Don’t secret services have a minimum IQ criteria or sumthin’? 😮
7:29 Bloody bureaucracy will be the end of secret services everywhere. Keeping the receipts to attach to the report would have sufficed (or this is newer red tape?). Does CIA claim VAT? 😂
The Soviets were always National Socialist Gemany's main enemy. In fact, as far as the Nazi leadership was concerned the soviets were their only enemy. Destroying the Soiviet Union and its communism was indeed the number one objective from the very start. It was pre planned, even explained somewhat in Adolf Hitlers Mien Kamph years before the National Socialists were ever elected majority in the reichstag. Just pointing it out is all. It is noteworthy that Winston Churchill actually insisted upon, even demanded war with Germany and touted it as a dire necessity. I find that many, or most people under age 40 are not only unaware of this, but of the idea that Germany just started attacking countries for no reason. Hitler actually made many, 11 as a matter of fact, open pleas with Churchill and Great Britan to stop hostilities. His eye was on the east. Russia was the prize, not the world, like so many are falsely led to believe. Poland was to be the jumping point. Unfortunately for the Nazis, Poland was the excuse others used to justify a declaration of war. It is also noteworthy that even though the invasion of poland was the reason the war was started between germany and great briton, and eventually the allies, after the Allies were victorious poland was virtually abandoned and forsaken.
I digress.... Russia was the prize. Im just sayin, had Germany been left to her own devices, communism may have very well been destroyed right then and there.. No Viet Nam, No communist cuba, North Korea, cold war, etc etc... For the record, The communists in russia, under Joseph Stalin alone murdered well over 100 Million innocent people. Including those who had previously served as generals and other high ranking officers. And of course Stalin immediately ordered the murder of all the "useful idiots" that helped the movement from the start.. special minority groups.. such as disenfranchised minorities like America has today shouting for their "rights"... feminists, SJW's etc etc...
Hello, but in the end US won the race, Shuttle space craft for instance.
20:56 Bloody tourists, crowding the place. You can’t even slip all those secrets under a stone, albeit on such little piece of paper. Awful.
A lot of them now working as fed and run for pres. No longer needing to bribe like this, that's how progress we have become.
Oh those nasty Sino-Soviet agents! This stuff is priceless, straight out of The Marx Brothers.
Tbf there were a metric ton of soviet agents in the US at the time
@@krusk3544 still are.
@@krusk3544 You think they just up and left? Bro they're still here and they're probably the reasons our country is so incredibly divided, near bankrupt and on the brink of becoming an autocracy. Especially with an incompetent and security risk of a President like Biden.

They teach them in the military but have they try teaching to the non educated civilian
Fact is they use most of the same techniques these days...
Macredos and Templeton were the better guys in this plot, tbh.
Also, lol at 'liberated from an Iron Curtain country'
16:38 Finally, the truth is out. The East block has run on dollars. These days, the EURO is making things easier.

This ain't brain washing it was a matter of life and death, the precious snow flakes today have doomed this world
@@dilwilliams5318 Huh?
The red scare was fearmongering on a civilian level, but was pretty real on a higher level. There were tons of Soviet spies, and some even operated in the US government during WW2. They were in the game longer than the US at the time
