[Skunkiboi]

Conrad Schumann was his name. Had to look for it myself.

[e0o9kii]

@Skunkiboi Who the East German Defected soldier or the East German/Soviet officer?

[Skunkiboi]

Its a very famous scene they have used: An East German soldier is escaping when the Berlin wall was built. It was captured on tape

[lmfaolol59]

I don't get it...

[Zillygf]

@lmfaolol59 How can you not get it?

[MarktgInnovation2Day]

[e0o9kii]

Up until .43 he had his gun slung over his shoulder but on .56 the gun is gone. What happened?

[dwmmg08]

What a clever commercial! And they even have the photographer there to capture the iconic image of the East German soldier jumping the wire to escape... how very cool! And funny to boot!

[comanderfritz]

however what does not make since is the UAZ-469 that drives up in the opening scene. this vehicle was not introduced to the east bloc until 1973. so hell if i know why there are french guarding the border in 1973 and why everyone has ww2 equipment. i assume they just screwed up with the jeep they used.

[comanderfritz]

After ww2 Berlin was divided between the allied nations. each nation received a sector of Berlin and of Germany. There was the British, American and french sectors that were joined to form the west, and the soviet sector that became east Germany. the french controlled northwest Berlin following ww2

this appears to be taking place during that time frame making the east Germans seen Volkspolizei which were formed in 1946 by the soviets in violation of the yalta conference.

[DenBeker3]

It was prob rigth after WOII when teh franch occupied a part of Germany 

[JohnyE007]

[e0o9kii]

@JohnyE007 West Berlin was occupied by the US, UK, France and West Germany while East Berlin was occupued by the USSR and East Germany.

[JohnyE007]

@e0o9kii

thx for explanation, what is interesting that I found on the old map from 50's that the north-east part of Austria was under russian territiories, is that correct?

[e0o9kii]

@JohnyE007 Possibly but I think it's better to reaserch this things.
