Pomeranian Bay Incident (GDR-Poland Naval confrontation, 1988)

I would like to add some comments:
"..and in political terms it [the GDR] was supposed to hamper the unification tendencies
which appeared in West Germany."
Don't think, that such tendencies were actually regarded as realistic, neither in the GDR, nor
in the Federal Republic. From the side of the FRG I not even think, that it was regarded
as very desirable, not ot mention the GDR. The loans, that (as mentioned on page 110)
effectively rescued the GDR speak for themselves !
Nevertheless, an interesting report, as the inter-warsaw pact conflicts weren't much publicised,
at leat not during the times, they happened.
