border, so NATO had nothing to do with it. (snip)


His flight started in Hamburg Germany, with a stop in Helsinki for fuel.
According to every report I've read, he crossed into East Germany on the
border with West Germany. To do this without detection, he would have had to
avoid United States, NATO, and Soviet radar. In my opinion, that was
impossible. Therefore, there is more to this story that has not been told.
