Chekhov's Gun: Discussed. Two East German officers use American nuclear weapons production to justify their belief that war was imminent, likening it to the literary technique of Chekhov's Gun: "Don't put a rifle on stage unless someone is intended to fire it."

comment
It Will Never Catch On: Fritz invents a computer with a camera on top, similar to a webcam. A West German businessman refuses to invest in it, asking "Who wants to be watched while they are on the computer?!?". Averted later in the series, where Fritz invents a system which can turn on house appliances via voice activation, a bit like Alexa. Dietrich and Fuchs think Fritz's inventions will catch on, to the point where they try to rip Fritz off by attempting to trick him into signing the rights to the inventions and his whole company over to them.

Defector from Commie Land: When Tina Fischer discovers the full details of the drugs trial and is fired, she tries to get her family to the West by hiding in a modified van. The East German authorities are tipped off when her secret tape discussing the trial is played on West German radio; the driver is shot running away from the police. Fischer and her husband are sent to prison, their children to an orphanage. Later, Tina is allowed to go the West in exchange for Martin, but Annett crosses the rest of her family off the list of people being sent across. Martin gets her children out in the finale, along with Lenora, although the last of these gets arrested by the West Germans.

Historical Fiction: The show is set in Germany, 1983 if that wasn't obvious from the title. Events from that time, such as Able Archer 83, the shooting down of KAL 007, and the bombing of the French cultural center in Berlin play roles in the plot, as does the occasional Historical Domain Character. Season 2 takes place in 1986 and focuses on the fact that East Germany was very broke as well as the political situation in South Africa and adjourning states.

The fact that they have hired Barbara Dietrich as their new financial consultant for this reason really hammers it home. She very openly is Only in It for the Money and certainly thinks money has more value than people - she has nothing but contempt for the citizens of East Germany. All in all, she embodies the polar opposite attitude of what the regime claims to have.

Dramatic Irony
 Deutschland 83 / int_ab5eea65
comment
Dramatic Irony: If you know anything about Cold War history, specifically the history of NATO, you'll know that "Able Archer" was a military exercise that put the Soviet Union on high alert for several days. In the context of the show, however, the characters don't know this, and so they think they're scrambling to stop the Americans from a preemptive first strike. Interestingly, even if you know about the true historical nature of Able Archer, it still manages to be tense. The show, in general, is also this because we know there wasn't a nuclear war in the end and that 1983 didn't result in that much in the way of hostility. It's still pretty tense on a personal level though, and all the more tragic when several major players in the story die for what we the audience know is nothing. When Martin returns home only to find Annette with a tied-up Yvonne, we know the circumstances that led to this, but Martin doesn't, and he panics, thinking Annette is working for East German Intelligence.

Moral Myopia: Leonora is selling weapons to the actors of the Apartheid regime in South Africa, even though the East is in political and moral conflict with them (indeed, not supporting the racist Apartheid regime is one of the points where the East has the moral high ground!) simply because East Germany is completely broke and desperately needs the money. She doesn't seem to see the problem with it, which is probably because she desperately wants to believe in the East, but Martin stops the sale when he learns that the weapons are supposed to be used to destroy a building close to the orphanage he spent the last three years working at

Cassandra Truth: As in real history, East German and Soviet intelligence services refuse to believe that Able Archer 83 is just a military exercise, and dismiss any intelligence assets telling them so as just being duped or not seeing the bigger picture. Wolfgang's sister-in-law overhears Martin sneaking a phone call to the East, realizing he's a spy. Because she was drugged and had drunk a lot of wine, everyone assumes it was a drunken delusion. Even her.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Nicole for Annett. It later transpires that Walter was worried that Martin was becoming lonely and isolated, and directly picked Nicole because she was so similar to Annett in the hope that she would be a good match for Martin.

A Real Man Is a Killer: Defied by Martin. He had been a teacher to an orphan boy named Roberto in Angola. When Martin returns to Angola later in the series, Roberto has been ordered to plant bombs and shoot to kill people. At a moment when Roberto has been told to kill Lenora, Martin tells Roberto that "Killing doesn't make you a man, it just makes you a killer", and Roberto lets go of the gun and joins with Martin and Lenora.

The Fundamentalist: Both Leonora and Annett have shades of this. Schweppenstette, however, who was this in season 1, has lost his idealism in the three years between the seasons and is now seen enjoying forbidden West German TV.
