Then, to get really nit-picky (or, OK, to continue being so), Rust wasn't an Ossie (East German) but a Wessie (figure it out), so if he got sent home, it wasn't to Dresden.

Started from (West) Berlin, IIRC, and flew right across Poland and western parts of Russia -- everybody wondered, IIRC, how the heck come he didn't get shot down by Russian Air Defense, like, umpty-twenteen times over.

I betcha heads rolled afterwards; quite possibly, *some* people *did* get sent to Siberia... But we in the West certainly never got to hear about *that*.
