Naughty German chap, one of a long line sadly…🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Around the year 2000, I had him as a neighbor in Berlin-Mitte. 100 meters away was a small, exclusive bar where you often met him in the evenings. I remember a few very interesting conversations with him over a few beers. The study in his large apartment was still decorated with GDR memorabilia, the GDR and SED flag, etc.. In 2000, however, he was already able to laugh about many of the GDR's peculiarities, but he still took others very seriously.

I was born in Merseburg and never knew we had the German central archive. The pollution was indeed quite terrible. I developed pseudo croup at least two times as a kid and after reunification they sent us on 14 day long class trips two times a year so we could breath some clean air for a change.

Why did they force that false 1:1 ratio between the two Germanys' currencies during their union? Pretending a currency is worth four times as much as it really is will _always_ have bad consequences.

Finished the book in less than a week, a great read. Thank you for the recommendation!

it’s almost like communism can’t survive without capitalism.

When Stalin was in the GDR, beautiful streets and buildings were built, but after his death, globalists came to power, who specifically began to build nondescript panel houses, erected the Berlin wall and gradually worsened the living conditions of the population in order to destroy the socialist system. The same thing happened in the USSR

GDR vs NVA... inspiration for GDI vs Nod?

War dieses waldsiedlung platz ''Auferstanden aus ruinen' ?

You have tons of great content on your channel that I am eating up. I'm not sure why there is such a distinct lack of information on the GDR unlike the Soviet Union or Communist China. Either way, your channel fills that niche exceptionally well. I see you made a video on the NVA which was excellent of course but can you make a video on the East German Airforce as well? Also can you make a video about the military structure and training NVA personnel received? I cant find very much information on those topics. Thank you! I have subscribed!

Plattenbau must be the only German word with fewer syllables than its English counterpart.

Classic C0mm1e political stooge. Using the people’s taxes to build a hunting estate as you’re reading their mail and listening to their phone calls and censoring their speech and expressions?… That’s rich.

Meanwhile Franz josef huber be like: 🗿

In my youth I visited the DDR in 1987. Lifestyle for the population was horrendous, with a shortage in everything. Every product was very low quality, dark streets and poor apartments. Thinking it was a restaurant, we stopped by mistake in one of these villas in the outskirts of East Berlin, where an elegant party was taking place. Waitresses in uniform, tuxedos, drinks and food, Volvo and Mercedes Benz (yes, the Mercedes of the West) with DDR plates parked outside. We were expelled abruptly by the security guards, who realised that we were foreigners. We were lucky not to get in trouble, I guess. What an experience the DDR. Lessons of socialism.

I came to Berlin at the beginning of May 2024. For sure the PdR was an ugly building, but I don't really know if the reconstruction is worth it from an economical POV. It feels like a Disneyland building, trying to represent a castle from a German empire that is not here any more. For tourists it is almost shocking to see that buildings that were witnessing the GRD are disappearing very fast, but surely I can understand that some Berliners have suffered a lot and want to get rid of them. In my case I think that some marks of the past have to stay, being good or bad memories. The same goes for colonial statues in my opinion, because they can help a lot of people to be aware of the past. But I never was discriminated or persecuted, and I am no historian. So I am not here to judge.

Für mich ist es Erinnerung an eine tolle Jugendzeit und ich konnte trotz eines geringen Studenteneinkomen,dort eine schöne Zeit verbringen.Später habe ich mit meinen Schülern die tolle Kunst eines Sitte und vieler Anderer bewunder können....Musste der Abriss wirklich sein ?????

I went there as a tourist after the asbestos had been removed. The idea of rebuilding a royal palace in a republic seemed a strange one. The PdR was much more interesting.

He looked like the official psychotherapist of Germany.

My old UK Passport is full of DDR stamps as I was a truck driver,saw some interesting stuff on the transit routes

None of my family, grandparents, parents, oncles or ants ever had a problem with the MFS (real name of the Stasi - Staatssicherheit). However, I totaly understand the duty of the MFS being on the direct border of the cold war. Even justified, I wish they would have been less paranoid.

Let this be a lesson to everyone, there hasn't been a Socialist / Communist government anywhere that hasn't resorted to secret police and other methods for surpressing dissent. No matter how benevolent they present themselves in the end it's always about power. "Keep your mouth shut and do as you're told! WE know best!" Live and learn people.

Exactly like here in Venezuela. Here in Caracas, the communist chavista elite live in the mansions of the "ancien regime", which they are proud to have "toppled". They even have their own built in gas stations. Why? Because gasoline is scarce... in the country with the greatest oil reserves in the world. That's socialism for ya.

4:00-> Dr. Theodor Morell has reincarnated/recycled himself in the service of the Pankow regime.

This video article is very educational and informative. But I am frustrated that you haven’t included a general map showing this Pankow regime exclave in regard to West Berlin. After all, the outside of WB was Pankow’s, so why call it ‘exclave’ ? That’s why a general map is needed.

13:20 -> There are everywhere people with a conscience who refused to carry out heinous orders, whatever the consequences for themselves. In the early hours of June 5th 1989, sustained gunfire could be heard coming from the forbidden city in Peking according to on the spot reports by the Western news agencies. With the repression, it was quickly forgotten. In fact it was the purge by shooting of the courageous PLA officers & men who protested the orders of shooting on the students. The second to fall were the workers in the little streets leading to the central place, who tried to block the passage of the tanks and troops.

6:40 -> Eerie coincidence ! Waldheim being the name of the 🇺🇳 secretary general of 🇦🇹 nationality, accused in the 80s of wartime nazi connections.

Nice move by the Pankow regime in replacing one brand of nazi by anutter brand of nazi of a different color. 6:00

just imagine- a country as poor and run down as the GDR going to these lengths to keep its people inside, like in a prison. unbelievable, today. thanks for sharing!

Really well researched and presented video! Thanks for your efforts ! Knowing how devious the Stasi was, I wonder how many houses had listening devices

This s literally whataboutism, so West Germany whitewashed all Nazis, the GDR did this with some so they're all the same lol.

How about "Blut hande Landschafte" ?

East Germany was just exactly like living as a white male in Europe Union now, the state wants to destroy your freedoms. Nothing has changed.

ALL PRO ATHLETES DO DRUGS DOPING!

As a romanian I'm very attracted by the former communist part of Germany. They have many similarities with us. Although I must say that in communist times East Germany and Czecoslovakia were the most advanced from the communist block.😊 Ps: No offence but you kinda look like a Stasi agent or a DSS(departament of state security) in Romania😂

Great man. Fought all the right people. Go cry somewhere else.

Served four years for murder. Unreal.

It should be favourable for our listener or viewers if you could compare the systems.. Pros and cons,

How NUTS and badly run could you be. Struggling like hell, people living in buildings in BAD need of repair, and one department is sitting on BILLIONS while also overcharging interest to its own government AND selling products BELOW cost. Just goes to show how bad communists are with money.

В любом случае, смерть мультикультурализму !

Every economy is market economy. The only question is what type of market is in economy.

Being an American, I have never heard the term "Gherkin" in my entire life until now. We always just call them "Pickles." I can remember a time when I was a kid and I didn't know that pickles were cucumbers. Everyone would refer to pickles and cucumbers as a separate names, so I thought they were a different things that were unrelated.

great channel mate! i'm curious, are you born in the DDR?

Ruzzkyie Mir… 🤢

You forgot to mention GENEX. Very good content, thank you!

For all those (truly) uber-socialist red diaper babies crying and wimpering over the loss of this so-called "palast" of a so-called "democratic republic," get over it and enjoy the rebuilt Imperial Palace.

The best description I ever heard about the Stasi was, “if the Gestapo were bone breakers, the Stasi were soul breakers.”

The Stasi would be envious of all of the spying that our so-called "democracies" do on us on a daily basis. They were amateurs in comparison.

Na wo sind sie?Bald werden diese Türme wieder geboren vielleicht schon weiter im Westen zur französischen Grenze!
