The agreed conditions that allow military

attachés to gather information can be
misunderstood with fatal results. United States
military attaché Maj. Arthur D. Nicholson was
killed March 24, 1985, while photographing a
military installation in East Germany 160
kilometres (100 mi) northwest of Berlin. He was reportedly
observing from a point not marked off-limits,
[citation
needed] though near a place that was. According to Sgt. Jessie Schatz,
Nicholson's driver, there were no warning shots and the Soviets refused to give
Nicholson medical attention for nearly an hour. This activity
[which?] had
been agreed to by the United States and the Soviet Union. Such agreements
stemmed from negotiations between United States and Soviet commanders in
Germany back in 1947. Soviet liaison-teams were conducting similar missions in
West Germany. These tours had evolved into a legalized form of intelligence-
gathering, usually accepted by both sides. The killing became a diplomatic
incident. In retaliation, the United States expelled Soviet military attaché
Stanislav Gromov, who was apparently
[original
research?] selected[by whom?] for his effectiveness in
collecting intelligence on the United States for the Soviet Union from his post in
Washington.
