DDR Grenzsoldaten - Vom Westen her gesehen

Unfortunately, there's a lot of rust again. The Western film footage wasn't exactly top-notch either! The "realistic" film, with its gruesome and inhumane statements, shows footage from the West German border region looking east. As a soldier on basic training, this film reminds me of an incident. Back then, in 1972, I was a driver for the East German National People's Army (NVA), and we had to pull into a parking lot when a man asked us for directions. After we gave him the information, the man got into his "Western car" and drove off. My superior then said, "Shit, now I have to write another report about 'contact with the West.'" And he was absolutely serious.
