Few countries will admit officially that they employ spies. However, from time to time, a spy is caught and the public sometimes gets a glimpse of what is going on behind the political scenes. Spies are rarely shot these days. They are frequently tried and imprisoned. If a spy is important enough, he is sometimes handed back to an enemy country in exchange for an equally important spy whom the enemy have caught. Few people have the opportunity to witness such as exchanges, for they are carried out in secret.
On cold winter morning on December 17th last year, a small blue car stopped on a bridge in a provincial town in northern Germany. Three men dressed in heavy black coats get out and stood on the bridge. While they waited there, they kept on looking over the side. Fifteen men got out of the boat and looked up at the bridge. The men on the bridge silently walked down the stone steps leading to the river-bank. No words were spoken when they met the men from the boat. After a while, the motor-boat moved off and three men returned to the bridge. Now, only two of them were wearing black coats. The third was dressed in a light grey jacket. Anyone who had been watching the scene might not have realized that two master spies had been exchanged on that cold winter morning.

很少有国家会公开承认自己雇用了间谍。不过，偶尔有间谍落网，公众便有机会窥见政治幕后的一角。如今，间谍很少被枪决，更多的是接受审判、被判入狱。如果某个间谍足够重要，有时还会被交还给敌国，以换回己方落在对方手中、同样重要的间谍。很少有人有机会目睹这种交换，因为一切都在秘密中进行。
去年12月17日，一个寒冷的冬日清晨，一辆蓝色小汽车停在德国北部一座地方小城的桥上。三个穿着厚厚黑大衣的男人下了车，站在桥上等候，不停地探头往桥下看。十五个人从船上下来，抬头望向桥上。桥上的三人默默走下通往河岸的石阶，与船上来的人会合时，谁也没有说话。过了一会儿，汽艇驶离，三个男人回到桥上。但这时，穿黑大衣的只有两人，第三个人穿的是一件浅灰色夹克。即使有人一直看着这一幕，也未必会意识到：就在这个寒冷的清晨，两名高级间谍已经完成了交换。
