They screwed up the West Berlin aviation situation, especially with, did I see that right, a Lufthansa jet at the airport.  Lufthansa could not fly to West Berlin until 1990.  They also could have written in the flying-low-through-the-air-corridor into or out of West Berlin into the story.  Oh well.

Indeed, it wasn't "The actions of a few monstrous Germans", but nearly all of them.
