summary: "Günter Guillaume was an East German Stasi agent who emigrated to West Germany in 1956 posing as a refugee, built a career in the Social Democratic Party (SPD), and by 1972 had become a personal aide and close confidant to Chancellor Willy Brandt. His exposure in April 1974 and subsequent arrest produced one of the most politically damaging espionage successes of the Cold War, forcing Brandt's resignation as Chancellor in May 1974."
