IRL, I was living in Manhattan and spent most of '97 as a USAR counterintelligence agent deployed to Germany in support of Operation Joint Guard (?). During the Cold War, my unit was based in the Bronx and we were at the top of the deployment list with an assigned area of responsibility to provide strategic counterintelligence support in the Netherlands/Belgium with our main offices being in Amsterdam and Rotterdam (the Cold War was so micromanaged we knew where our offices were going to be, and the location of the warehouses with our office furniture and equipment). In a Twilight v.1 scenario, I'd have been shipped to the Netherlands at the beginning of the buildup prior to the GDR border crisis, so sometime in early '96. Most likely I'd have been nuked in '97 when the Atlantic ports went kablooie and all us RAMFs went up with them.
