A great video as always! I love the thumbnail! In the current book I’m writing, a lot of the early action for the main characters takes place in Alsfeld.

Certainly interesting purchases for NATO. I'd like to think that narrative wise, the explanation for the large number of paramilitary units in West Germany is due to the substantial police forces in suspicion of communist espionage or perhaps a result of the mass calling of reservists for further training and exercises before becoming proper panzergrenadiers.

Im a fan of active defense. It adds to the immersion that NATO is a collection of separate and independent nations. Unlike the Warsaw Pact that are basically vassal- I mean good comrades to the workers movement, all the NATO countries have similar yet different policies in this time.

at about 32:10 i noticed the marker had some blue stuff on it and you stuck a ship on it. I'm assuming that is not a magnet, but rather some other substance. Can you tell me what that is? It may be a good substitute for a magnet or for a temporary placement.
