(in East Germany) and the Soviet Union (in West Germany) during the Cold War.
Nicholson is officially regarded by the U.S.
Department of Defense as having been a victim of murder and the final victim of the Cold War.

- Soviet crisis and intense negotiations regarding the Military Liaison Missions.
