SPOILER BELOW
How in the hell could a Russian NKWD officer be coming from the Iranian side of the bridge ? Perhaps he told the Russian border guards "Hi guys,please let me pass. I will go near the Iranian side to wait for a German POW who escaped from my camp. If he arrives and he surely will, I will tell him "I defeated you" and let him go". Behaviour of this guards suggests that nobody actually had crossed the border before Forell(this day of course) Then he told the Iranians"Excuse me, could you shine mirror at this man coming towards us? I have to appear out of nowhere,you see.And thanks for the tea".The only logical answer to this problem is Forell had hallucinations.So that scene occurred only in his mind. Why is it so important then?
