He brought a suitcase full of secret documents with him when he made the transition to the West. Mr. Stiller oversaw a group of about 30 foreign and domestic agents as a case officer with the Stasi, where he functioned as an undercover middle man. Agents he recruited captured information on microprocessing, nuclear weapons technology and other scientific advances, then passed it to Mr. Stiller through dead-letter drops at railroad stations. The information was reviewed by his superiors, who combed through documents to search for economic advantages in East Germany and for military secrets that could be passed along to allies at the Soviet KGB.
