Then again, the divided Germany of course *was* very much the epicenter of the Cold War and in the event of a possible escalation, as in this scenario.

EDIT: Disregard. Now watching it again, I see it was well done in terms of parties involved. I remembered it a bit differently.

EDIT 2: No, wait, I see now that the English / International version has been a little bit edited when it comes to journalists / news reports. Obviously to have the English / US viewers get to see more familiar faces, so that a similar authentic effect materializes for them as for a German watching "his" daily news reporters.

It was still a scary as hell production considering all that was needed was a paranoid hardliner..
