Yes, who did not want to wait with the study, had to bite the bullet and his service in the army “voluntary” to 36 extend month. For me this meant the service in the barracks on the outskirts of Brandenburg (Hohnestücken). Significant differences between the ratios in the film did not exist, therefore, it is a period piece. Beginning rank in Brandenburg “Sergeant”, down 1986 as “Sergant First Class”. The barracks later became a location of the Bundeswehr, one part was demolished, another part is now refugee shelter.
