'Based on the "Captain of Kopenick" incident of 1906, when an unemployed cobbler, in order to get a passport, dresses as a staff officer and takes over the town hall only to find it has no passport office. Because he is taken for a military officer everybody obeys him without question. His cheek ultimately gets him a passport.'
