Ralph Hänel, Part II - "Can I borrow your baby?", Stasi Handcuffs and the Book of Poison

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Welcome to another incredible episode of Radio GDR. Judging by your extremely positive reaction, you thoroughly enjoyed part 1 of our three part interview with Ralph Hanel, Kung Fu Master, former stasi prisoner and an incredible survivor. Now it's time for part 2 - listen how Ralph confronts his past when he discovers how his ex-girlfriend oddly "borrowed" a baby in his name after they broke up, what stasi handcuffs did to his wrists when he was in prison, and how he became an actor and even played a role as an East German general. We even hear about the book of poison - you'll have to listen to the episode to find out about that interesting nugget. Ralph's story of survival inspires me, and I hope it does the same with you.</span></p> <p>You MUST listen to Ian Sanders' three part interview of Ralph before listening to these. They will absolutely set the context for these episodes, and are MUST LISTENS. </p> <p><a href="https://coldwarconversations.com/episode177/">Episode 1 -</a> <a href= "https://coldwarconversations.com/episode177/">Ralph – DJing and Kung Fu in East Germany</a></p> <p><a href="https://coldwarconversations.com/episode181/">Episode 2 - Ralph – Arrested and interrogated by the Stasi</a></p> <p><a href="https://coldwarconversations.com/episode182/">Episode 3 - Ralph – A prisoner in an East German jail</a></p> <p>Read Ralph's short stories <a href= "http://www.ralphhaenel.com/">using this link</a></p> <p>Our ability to bring you stories from behind the Berlin Wall is dependent on monthly donors like you.
