There was an estimate that in the GDR, one out of seven persons worked for
the Stasi ("Staatssicherheit" = "state security"), in one way or the other.
Most were of course IMs ("Inoffizielle Mitarbeiter" = "inofficial
co-workers"), and quite a few did not really do what they were supposed to
do.
Best regards, Klaus
