Robert Allertz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Allertz (* 1951 ) learned the profession of a specialist glass worker . He is a graduate journalist and was Lieutenant of the People's Navy of the GDR. After his time in seafaring, he worked as an author of non-fiction and screenplays as well as a ghostwriter for people from contemporary history and the entertainment industry ("showbiz"). As a freelance journalist, he works for the left-wing daily newspaper Junge Welt , among others .

According to Detlef Kühn , Robert Allertz is close to the Insider Committee for promoting critical appropriation of the history of the MfS . Allertz's books received little review or otherwise publicly recognized. The text on "RAF and MfS", which was discussed in the FAZ , is an exception . Detlef Kühn, who, according to Perlentaucher , warned about the book there, found its content neither new nor exciting. Allertz only wanted to "place the MfS morally much higher than the western secret services."

In the magazine Ossietzky , the journalist Eckart Spoo wrote about the collection of anecdotes published by Allertz “Singers and prompter. Biermann, Havemann and the GDR ”, she attested to“ the GDR authorities again and again ”that she“ did not behave in a sovereign and clever way ”, but she was also laughable, for example because Pastor Rainer Eppelmann clenched“ the communist fist ”at Havemann's funeral have.
