1. I love the part where British soldiers are instructed to recognise the DDR autobahn traffic rules, but not to pay fines if they come from a German policeman. (11:30)

2. Driving through the DDR was a pain in the ass. I remember the very first time we went back to Poland to visit my grandma and grandpa we had to stop on the side of the Autobahn because something was wrong with the car. Just few minutes later a car stopped like 50 meters behind us and and the guys where watching us until my dad fixed the car. The whole thing so weird and unpleasant i can still remember it.
