Do you know what happened to the red telephone? Not the American one, the Russian one? Do you know that in 1994, sixteen Katiouchas missiles flew over Berlin but were found to be disarmed when they landed? Do you know what the Beria couch was witness to and the amazing things it could reveal if it could talk? Objects that have marked history are precious symbols. They are the living memory of our past, and if we take the time to carefully and skillfully examine them, they can reveal startling secrets. Before 1989, historical museums essentially concentrated on the First and Second World Wars. But after the fall of Communism, room had to be made for the Cold War. Claude Qu tel donned his Superman cape and turned on his James Bond charisma to seek out and find these historical objects all over the world. More than an exceptional historical quest, this is the story of a fantastic treasure hunt by a man with the adventurous heart of a child.
