I really enjoyed watching this. It has a certain nostalgia-inducing ambience. I found it on Joe Van Cleave's Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/hhJVjI8M12k Joe added some great commentary, so you might want to watch it there instead.

Yeah I discovered this video when Joe Van Cleave spoke about it and I found it quite cool! The GDR made a lot of shitty things, but its typewriters were cool!
