Oh, that is a great coincidence, with the teamaking! I bet it was so gratifying to see it played out onscreen.
As for my own story, I have one advantage that I lived in East Germany for a year just before unification, so that alerts me to things I should at least question (one example: "wait...how rare was it to own watches? *frantically googles*")? But yeah, the research for this has been brutal (and yet fun all the same). It's involved waaaay too much use of my employer university's library for my nefarious non-work purposes.
