The Honecker joke scene, where the officer laughs with the joke, and then asks, “Name?”
Very powerful movie. Several weeks ago, I visited the army museum in Fort Belvoir in Washington DC and spoke with one of the docent there for about an hour. He had served in Germany during the 60s as an intelligence officer, and he thought that was one of the most powerful movies out there as well.
And ends up in the basement steaming open envelopes for the rest of his life. All for a joke. Great movie.
