Hi Joel, sorry to create any confusion, I didn't write this, I was merely forwarding a link. I don't know a lot about the history of this, but if you contact MRZine they could probably put you in touch with Victor Grossman, who wrote the article.
Victor is a great guy, and his autobiography "Crossing the River" is fantastic, one of the most fair and honest assessments of the GDR I've ever encountered.
