A clip from the film The Lives of Others showing Wiesler as a ruthless, efficient Stasi interrogator who uses a recorded interrogation to train new officers. HN uses other scenes from the same film as well.
HN cites it, and the scent-sample scene in the film, in threads about surveillance and Stasi methods such as smell registers.

Scent sample collection by putting a dust cloth under the chair of someone who was interrogated (as it is described in the article) was shown in the German movie "The Lives of Others" [0]. Fast forward to ~4:30min if you are not interested in the rest of the film clip: ▶ this video (has English subtitles) [0] link
