Chapter 1 1. 1. A bit of history People hid themselves and hid their property long before the beginning of the written history of mankind, but very little has been written on this topic. Much of the literature on hideouts and hiding places was brought with it by the cultural explosion of the twentieth century, but few books on the subject have appeared, mostly abroad. Before, they didn't exist at all. Why? Partly because in the past most people were illiterate. Another reason is secrecy. Many hiding places and hiding places were kept in deep, impenetrable secrecy, or so those who invented them thought. Historical events are embodied in fairy tales, legends and myths. Who among us does not remember the secret door in the closet of Pope Carlo, which was disguised with a piece of old canvas. In Britain, there are many legends about secret passages and hiding places. Although many of them, as studies have shown, have no real basis, real caches have survived to this day. Their history goes back to the era of persecution of Catholics in Britain. The fact is that in case of capture, Catholic priests faced the death penalty. These were the "merry" Elizabethan times, when in the Tower of London there was a rack on which the victims suffered sometimes but for several days before dying. To commemorate this historic period, Eston Hall in Birmingham has a well-preserved shelter under the stairs. A chair is attached to the wall near the stairs, which can be taken aside, and then a room opens up 1,5x2 m in size. At Begwallis Hall in Yorkshire, England, there is a false top landing of stairs that can only be accessed from the attic. There is a hatch above the doorway, which begins a manhole leading to the attic. Returning 7,5 m back through this manhole, the fugitive fell into a shelter at the top of a 1,5 m2 staircase. At Hardwick Hall, England, there is a fake section of chimney in the attic. It is attached to a real chimney, and the door in it is made of plastered wood, painted to look like brickwork. All these are the houses of the aristocracy and nobility. Undoubtedly, the working people and the peasantry also had their own hiding places, although they did not hide priests there. Maybe they hid a few coins from the tax collectors. Money was made mainly from precious metals and could lie for many years without rusting. During World War II, there was a POW camp in Colditz Castle (Germany). Here the Germans kept the most inflexible, "incorrigible" prisoners. The guards were organized with all the sophistication of the German mind, there were more guards than prisoners. And yet there were escapes. The most unusual escape plan was associated with a secret room about 10 m long, built into one of the attics of Colditz Castle. There was a secret workshop where they built a glider with a wingspan of 8,25 m, which was supposed to launch from a platform on the roof of the castle, carrying two people. The workshop room was separated from the rest of the attic by a frame wall covered with canvas with a layer of plaster that imitated the stone walls of the castle. Improvised plaster was taken from the waste when digging an underground passage leading out of the castle, in accordance with another escape plan. The frame of the wall and the airframe itself were made from the floorboards of the theater of prisoners of war. Mattress covers served as fabric for the wings and fuselage. It was proposed to launch the glider from the roof, dispersing it on a catapult from a wooden stage. The wood was taken from the beds. The driving force for the launch was to be created by a tub filled with concrete, which was going to be dropped through holes in the floors; she had to fly three floors. The tub, connected to the glider with a rope, was supposed to accelerate it to takeoff speed. The glider was not destined to take off. By the time he was ready, the war was over and there was no need to escape. Perhaps this glider still lies in the attic of the castle. The Romanov dynasty in Russia lasted on the throne for more than three hundred years. It is not difficult to imagine the size of the imperial storerooms, because Russia was a very rich country, especially in terms of the extraction of precious stones. The lion's share of gems, ingots and pearls was, with the knowledge of Nicholas II, prepared for export abroad. The treasures were packed in six-liter jars of French-made olive oil. There were more than thirty of them. This took place from March to July 1917. Five cans were discovered by security officers after the execution of Nicholas II and the royal family. The fate of the rest is still unknown. Each country has its own history of hiding places and hiding places. In fiction, we can find many examples of equipment and the use of caches. Remember the hollow in the oak, known to everyone from school, with the help of which V. Dubrovsky exchanged notes with Maria Troekurova (A. S. Pushkin "Dubrovsky") or a bronze bird, in whose head a map was kept indicating the place of the treasure (V. Kataev "Bronze bird"). 1.2. A little about psychology Many people think: they made a hiding place, hid a precious thing, and that's it - it is in a safe place and safe. But this is not entirely true. Making a reliable hiding place is a whole art and only a person with extraordinary thinking possesses it. Moreover, the reliability of the cache is sometimes determined not by the depth of its shelter in the beam, in the wall and the reliability of constipation, but by the unusual, unpredictable appearance of it in various objects and structures. At the same time, it can be in objects that are constantly in sight and therefore do not attract attention. The famous English master of the detective genre G. Chesterton spoke. "Where is the easiest place to hide a leaf? In the forest. Where is the easiest place to hide a stone? On the seashore. And where is the easiest place to hide a corpse? On the battlefield." The famous German industrialist Gustav Krupp managed to develop many technical improvements, which resulted in the production of eight new types of guns and the construction of numerous submarines. Hitler could take advantage of this as early as 1933. The improvement of the guns themselves was carried out in Berlin at the fictitious machine-tool plant "Koch und Kinzle-Entwicklung". This plant never aroused the suspicions of the Allied secret services. As for Krupn, he understood the importance of industrial espionage and, as early as 1920, he founded a special bureau in Essen for this purpose. This bureau managed to steal from the French Gross and Max a cannon that fired at Paris in 1918, camouflaged in a giant factory chimney. If the French secret services had come up with an elementary idea to compare photographs of the Krupna plant in 1918 and 1943, they would have found this pipe, which never smoked, and if they had examined it, they would have found a giant cannon. However, the French counterintelligence in the Rhineland, apparently, did not come up with this idea. To develop the ability to hide, one must understand the type of thinking of those who will seek the hidden and know the methods by which they will act. By studying your potential opponents, you will gain information that will help you figure out what to do. To begin with, we formulate one fundamental idea. Whether or not you can successfully hide something depends largely on who is looking, not on your ingenuity or the skill with which you set up the hiding place. It's hard to believe, but it really is. The main instrumental who seeks is his own mind, just like the one who hides. Common sense often makes up for lack of tools Often the one who seeks has an advantage over the one who hides So, for example, the interrogator tries to make eye contact with the suspect and sometimes even says "Look at me when I talk to you." The point is to capture the "reaction of recognition." The theory behind this method states that the guilty person is more afraid than the innocent person, can't stand the strain of direct eye contact, and tries to look away. Obviously, this method works only for a suspect with very limited mental abilities. It's hard to believe, but the reliability of a cache is determined not by the location of the equipment, but primarily by the organization of the search. Let's look at several situations and see how this principle works. Suppose you are driving your car and carrying a small amount of prohibited goods. The road ahead is blocked by traffic police and riot police, who are inspecting all cars coming in your direction. On both sides of the road there are detained cars. When you reach the barrier, you stop, two soldiers approach you from both sides, look into the back seat and into the space in front of the front seat One of them asks you to get out and open the trunk, briefly examines and closes the trunk lid He explains to you that a search is underway for the fugitive a criminal who is armed, dangerous and has a habit of taking car drivers hostage to help him escape. In such a situation, it is clear that the police are looking for a person and inspecting large enough spaces where he could hide. In this case, you can smuggle any goods and the police will not pay attention to this, since they face a completely different task. Another example. You are in charge of the warehouse, and one fine morning, law enforcement officers come to you with a search warrant. They state that "on the basis of the information received" you are suspected of harboring stolen televisions, and begin to search the premises. In fact, you are quietly selling unaccounted goods, such as video cassettes, and fake invoices are in your desk drawer. "Uninvited guests", having checked the warehouse, will not even look into the drawer. From the above examples, it is obvious that searches can pursue different goals and be carried out with varying degrees of thoroughness, in addition, different departments are engaged in the search for bandits and stolen goods. The skill and diligence of the searchers vary in different cases, and in many situations a little effort is enough to avoid suspicion, and with it exposure. In other situations, nothing will save you, because if there is something to look for, then it will certainly be found. 1.3. A little about secrets 1.3.1. General recommendations Making a reliable cache, it would seem, is very simple. But this is far from true. For the construction of the cache, some preparatory work and a set of necessary tools will be required. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the special properties of the object that you want to hide: is it sensitive to ambient temperature, humidity, etc. For example, you cannot hide undeveloped film and some chemicals in a cache that is built near heat sources If the object absorbs water, then it must be placed in a waterproof package. Any metal object can be detected without much difficulty with a metal detector, unless it is hidden inside another metal object, such as a car or a personal computer case. Caches can be different depending on their location and tasks. These can be free spaces or built-in and disguised lockers or caskets; a cache with a mechanical lock or with a combination lock; with an alert system or not. In specially equipped safes, in addition to the main purpose (for example, storing a hunting rifle), small cavities can be made in advance in the walls for storing especially important documents. Inventiveness in the construction of the cache is inexhaustible. 1.3.2. Who can be trusted with the equipment of the cache But the main question arises: who can be trusted with the equipment of the cache. Undoubtedly, it is best to make the cache yourself and not tell anyone about it. As the character of L. Bronevoy said in the classic Soviet series "Seventeen Moments of Spring", "what two people know, the pig knows." In practice, it is often more convenient to equip several hiding places for caches during repairs in an office or at home. For these purposes, finishing specialists are often invited, who are directly involved in the repair and equipment of the premises. At the same time, you never think that after the repair or construction of caches, you may have big troubles. Troubles associated primarily with the leakage of confidential information, which is also a trade secret. Since during the repair, various technical means of unauthorized access to your information may be installed. Back(Introduction) Forward (Stash equipment)
