It is so. In the rare German tv history documentations, the main focus lie upon the prewar time and upon the development of the PAL system. In Walter Bruch's tv history (PAL - Das Farbfernsehen, published by the German broadcasting museum in 1987) there is an episode about that brave technician who try to adjust the blue bananas on the screen into yellow which his fellows have painted blue. Just this episode I know as an origin American episode of the history of NTSC development which has become now an urban legend. (Instead of hue adjustment, Bruch told about PAL burst controlling.)
