I think this episode - on this day in August 1989 - isn’t known well enough. It, rather than Berlin in November, was when the Iron Curtain really fell. East Germans left their Trabis on this Hungarian field as if they were picnic litter, and made for the west. https://www.waterstones.com/blog/lewis-baston-on-the-burgenland-border-and-the-idea-of-central-europe

Hungary was quite easy to get into by the time I went interrailing in 1986 and there seemed to be a lot of family reunions using that train.
