Why is Schwarzesmarken set in East Germany rather than Japan?

How is Schwarzesmarken connected to Muv-Luv Alternative?
It is a prequel set in the same alternate history, roughly two decades before the central events of Muv-Luv Alternative. The visual novel uses familiar elements such as Tactical Surface Fighters and humanity's war against the BETA.
Who are the main characters in Schwarzesmarken?
The story centers on East German pilot Theodor Eberbach and the 666th Squadron, also known as the Schwarzesmarken. Key figures include Irisdina Bernhard, Katia Waldheim, Lise Hohenstein, and Stasi officer Beatrix Brehme.
Does the Schwarzesmarken visual novel cover the same story as the anime?
Both versions depict Theodor and the 666th Squadron, but the visual novel has more room for character routes and political detail. The television anime aired in 2016 and compresses the story into a single cour.
