Three segments of a Cold War-era spy tunnel built by US and UK intelligence services have been discovered in Brandenburg, Germany. The tunnel, constructed in the mid-1950s, was used to tap into Soviet military telephone lines. After being exposed in 1956, parts of the tunnel were distributed to various East German army bases for training purposes. Now, three segments have been recovered and will be preserved, with one piece each going to the DDR Museum and 'Berliner Unterwelten' association's tour, and another potentially displayed at the original tunnel site.
