Great video clip from the movie called “Western” according to the author. Here is the Info from the youtube page..

 This clip features an ancient sample from a movie that I think was called “Western” - it featured an East German spy using a numbers station while in West Germany during the Cold War.

It shows the spy using the onetime pad to decode the message sent by the number station.

Ironically, the original clip featured the now defunct G16 numbers station - which was ran by West Germany.

I’ve mixed in the G3 “gong” station that was used by East Germany’s Stasi, which makes more sense.

Why would would an East German spy use a West Germany numbers station?
