Keep your eye on the Chinese. They'll steal whatever they can in order to undercut you in the world marketplace.

Only the subjects change.

That'S the Teufelsberg in Berlin. The sinstallation was maintained by the US, if I am correctly informed.

Even back then they already spied on us...!

Yes it was a US installation, but with a totally separate British contingent of 26 Signals Unit, and it was within the British zone. A much more discrete one at Marienfelde too, but all American.

No. That's a Smokeing area.
No. There was a leak on the roof and this covered it until repairs could be done.
No. It was side bet. 2 contractors bet one of them couldn't get Golf Balls in the design of the roof.
No. That whole section was designed for the Presidental Golf thing but due to standard Governmental screw ups? Ended up in Germany.


I got nothing else. The I'm Sorry scene from a Cheech and Chong Movie probably says it best.
