There was a talk/demo I saw a few years ago that went into great detail about how this works. I remember it was given by a German. Anyone know what I am talking about?

Edit: It was a video.

I remember something similar, it was a presentation given at CCC in Germany. Tried searching for it on their YouTube channel, just to discover said channel was terminated for breaking YouTube ToS?!

That's really sad, their channel had videos of all the past talks from the CCC, an amazing resource that's now gone.

I think this is the one you might have been talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsIriAdbttc

If it's not that one then it's probably one of the "Running your own 3G/3,5G/GSM network" talks.

That's the one, nice find.
You probably were thinking of the CCCen YouTube channel? That never was an official channel, but a copy-cat that just uploaded all the CCC stuff, and was banned for it.
Yeah, I now realized this too. Still weird as CCCen had the videos organized in a more useful way, thus popping up way above in search results. At least good to know the stuff is still there.
Probably Karsten Nohl. He has done many SS7 talks, so this may not be the exact one you saw: https://youtu.be/BbPLscWQ1Bw
Those are not what you're talking about but check out the slides from P1 Security about this issue: https://www.slideshare.net/p1sec/hes2010-philippe-langlois-a...
