It's some of the peripheral details I remember about events then. Film of Egon Krenz watching East Germans crossing into the west and realising he'd been left deep in the brown and smelly by Honecker and that he could probably stop it but only at a huge cost. Watching the Emergency Committee making statements during the Gorbachev coup and seeing the spokesmans hands were shaking so badly he couldn't hide it. Odd bits like that.
