Schintlmeister and visits to Austria[edit]

This is a quote from the article:

 On Schintlmeister’s return to Vienna, he was invited to the British embassy, 
 where a Scientific and Technical Intelligence Branch (STIB)[21] officer asked 
 him about his time in the Soviet Union. Schintlmeister declined the request. 
 Once, visiting Austria after he had taken the positions in Dresden, British 
 officials offered him the choice of either defecting or becoming a source in 
 the Bloc, preferably the Soviet Union. STIB archives confirms that 
 Schintlmeister was a target of British MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service.[22]

I am suspicious about the facts: How could a nuclear physicist working in East Germany get an exit visa to visit Austria in the 1950s and 1960? There must be something behind these trips. TomyDuby (talk) 20:34, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Schintlmeister is only the translator of the book by Bohr and Mottelson, the same is true for the book of Frenkel (the amazon lists are misleading in this respect).--Meilenweit (talk) 13:28, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
