Sounds like somebody skipped their history class, back in the 30s you would've had Gestapo or Abwehr because Germany was fascist at the time.

The Ministry for State Security (German: Ministerium für Staatssicherheit, pronounced [minɪsˈteːʁiʊm fyːɐ̯ ˈʃtaːtsˌzɪçɐhaɪt]; abbreviated MfS), commonly known as the Stasi (pronounced [ˈʃtaːziː] ⓘ, an abbreviation of Staatssicherheit), was the intelligence service and secret police of East Germany (the German Democratic Republic or GDR) from 1950 to 1990.

It does illustrate how the whole moral high ground the west claimed over the Soviet bloc was always just a veneer.
