    And in order to leave the American embassy, Einstein had to cross German soil. He was allowed to because he was granted asylum.

        Weird, because William H. Geist famously refused to give Einstein a visa and public outcry forced him to flip on that. And then he was taken to the U.S.

        Do you think the plane took off from the embassy?
