===Casual allegations===
On opening of the archives of the Stasi, the East German Security Service, a report emerged according to which Hochhuth had casually made the allegation that [[Timothy Garton Ash]], at that time working on a history dissertation in East Berlin, was a "British spy". The book by Garton Ash about how he himself had been surveilled details how such allegations in other cases had major consequences for the involved individuals.<ref name="Ash">{{cite book |last1=Garton Ash |first1=Timonty |title=Die Akte Romeo |date=1997 |publisher=Carl Hanser Verlag |location=Germany |page=155}}</ref>
