 Interesting - thanks for sharing.
Was that coming with a certain risk, those families were taking? What would have been the consequence of the system? 
 I don't know exactly. Disadvantages at work perhaps, bad political 'scoring' and a note in parents' Stasi file. I was a child back then in the early 70s. At school, we shouldn't talk about the fact that our family also watched 'other' programs on TV. Many parallels to today...
