My maternal grandmother is from West Berlin. (She moved to the US in 1964 with my Grandfather, an American Airman) I grew up hearing all types of stories about the wall. She routinely visited her aunt in East Berlin but her aunt was never able to visit West Berlin. On one instance she waited with her aunt in a market line for between four and five hours only for an onion. She turned 80 this year and still remembers it like yesterday. In addition my dad is from Russia and said that traveling to the GDR from the Soviet Union was much easier than traveling to the West.
Speaking as a British citizen,this documentary has helped me to deepen my knowledge of what it must of been like to live in the DDR. I have to say I admire the courage of the people who,at great personal risk,took on and ultimately defeated that oppressive regime.I’m getting older now and soon I won’t be fit enough to travel. But if I can actually manage it,I’ll go to Dresden and see for myself what these brave people had to endure.
Another top rate excellent documentary from DW. Some years ago I visited the Stasi prison in Berlin and was shocked by the extreme levels of paranoia the Stasi went to. Fortunately I have lived my 74 years as a UK citizen but have read many books and seen a number of documentaries about the GDR and Stasi also visited Germany many times.
"Oh, the good old days!" I miss them . Informants everywhere, free heating , wiretapping, fear of the Stasi. Having to wait years to get a car. Shopping at Intershop. 🤣
Very lighthearted what is stated here, in comparison to what these people actually went through. Thanks DW - hope you can amplify the suffering and what these brave souls went through, who rose for freedom, as well as the countries which still permit their (former) Governments or criminals to leverage these evil methods🙏
This is a very informative documentary. I have always been curious about people's experiences with the Stasi. My own family is originally from East Frisia and Köln.
At the same time in Argentina, political prisoners were being tortured and killed, dropped into the ocean to make them disappear. These people were lucky to survive.
@@pablofernandez7772 These horrible murders in Argentina - they were the.murders th present pope participated in right 😢!?!? I am trying - really trying, to put on my "neutral" hat herebut. I keep failing.. 😱
Your plight in Argentina, terrible as it was, was not comparable to the genocidal regime in Syrian in Syria in the eighties and now. In one incident in 1979, one thousand prisoners were mowed down in one night in their cells in the notorious Palmyra prison (Tadmur). In 1981, almost 40,000 civilians perished at the hands of Assad's army in the city of Hamah out of a popoulation of 250,000. from 2011 onward, more than one million were killed at the hands of Assad's army and security services.
I've been to the Stasi Prison in Berlin. Unbelievable experience. The Dresden decor looks similar. One thing I learnt was West Germany buying East German prisoners as discussed in this video.
There is now a TV show called 'Berlin Wall' (on Friday night if I remember correctly) which is about how East Berlin made money by arresting people and then selling them to West Berlin. It's interesting, something I never knew about.
When you learn stuff like then it’s then no surprise that the USSR and Russia turned out the way they did. Propaganda has fried these peoples for decades starting in their earliest years of life.
Yes, you can find more about it in the DDR museum in Berlin. The thing I found most shocking about it was imaginative play was discouraged so that children would be more suggestable in later life. Everything was scheduled including how the children should play. One exception to this was children's literature. Often children's book were satirical in nature and were a way for people to express themselves freely through text and illustration as they weren't regulated.
It’s crazy watching videos like this one. My mom was 11 years old back in 1966 when her and 10 of her families members escaped East Germany. They all walked one behind the other person over the mine fields, then using a wooden board they walked of the tank ditches, and then ended up cutting the wire fence in order for them to escape to West Germany. It was such a shock to the West German officials that the adults were placed in jail until their story was checked out. Russia had sent specialist out to find out how 11 people could escape their country East Germany. I would love to get my hand on the paperwork their in East Germany about my families escape to Freedom, and I pray that my message here will find everyone that was treated badly from The Stasi doing well in their lives.
There are some of the Stasi files available at Hohenschonhausen museum and the Stasi Museum archive in Berlin. Possibly there is something on your family there?
That's b/c everything was provided for them. Job, home, food..just follow the rules. Then suddenly they were free and had to fend for themselves. It was very very hard for many. Reliance vs. self sufficiency.
The stasi was the equivalent of the gestapo. Putin still pulls the string, and after 30 years of unification, my mind boggles that the AFD rises from the east.
Do you mind the cellular base station 37:28 on the Stasi prison complex roof 2024? How does the telecommunications surveillance by the federal intelligence services under the G10 Act differ from what the Stati did during GDR? Concerning the BND`s legal framework, has it really gotten better in safeguards but worse in scale?
Putin rotten to the core and nothing changed there with that horrid man . Very good documentary as usual by DW TV. The victims for minor little incidences or just wanting to leave the GDR to the West prisoned for no crime is just heart breaking.
What a History this city have!! My grandmother who I never met, was forced there during WW2, by her own parents and exhusband - my grand father whom I never met either. He actually raped her pregnant shortly before she was forced to Dresden and forced Labour (for being alive) She managed to escape before she gave birth to my uncle, who - as far as I'm aware, still live in Australia... He wS taken from my grand mother as soon as he was born and, so we're her other 3 children inclmy mother.. My grand father continued to work directly for Hitler and, was punished with just 6 years jail.. And, then the wall was built... 😰 Will this madness ever end?? I strongly doubt.. I visited Dresden in the 1990's - a beautiful city but, exactly how many innocent people have been killed there or, because they have been there volunterely or forced??? Thanks for sharing DW.. If at any point you feel for it, please make another documentary about the Dresden tram service during WW2 and the people who were forced to work for that company!!
He was over there working for Russian intelligence, similar to how the faces of the US and UK regime have based themselves in other countries. I can't think of one decent incorrigible leader in the western or eastern world. They're all corrupt, all working for other "interests" and are all untrustworthy. Why pick on just one?
Quite a bit. What was destroyed at some point got cleaned up and replaced with cheap buildings called "Plattenbauten", but many old buildings with war damages that still were somewhat usable and weren't on the main squares and main streets were just left with war damages, bullet holes, etc. These buildings were seen as symbols of capitalism and the arrogance of the west so repairing them was considered unsocialistic. People who wouldn't get apartments the regular way often moved in illegally and refurbished them and sometimes got kicked out afterwards only to be replaced with "loyal citizens" once the buildings were looking dandy. Though many of the buildings still had bullet holes and war damages when the wall fell.
"The Stasi was much, much worse than the Gestapo, if you consider only the oppression of its own people." The Gestapo had 40,000 officials watching a country of 80 million, while the Stasi employed 102,000 to control only 17 million." One might add that the Nazi terror lasted only twelve years, whereas the Stasi had four decades in which to perfect its machinery of oppression, espionage, and international terrorism and subversion according to Simon Wiesenthal of Vienna, Austria, who has been hunting Nazi criminals for half a century.
9:15 I saw a play at The Westwood Playhouse called Puppetry of The Penis- I don’t recall the premise of the play - I mostly remember the naked guy with the sandwich board suggesting directions 😂 to a place nearby for dinner after the show. Was it about Geopolitics?
Interesting to find out that there were cross iron curtain soccer matches and things. As an American having no borders with Communist countries I thought there was no fraternizing between East and West countries.
I am struck by the irony that the flag of Ukraine is so proudly displayed on a building that was so close to where the cause of the current war, who was then a member of the KGB, spent the last few days of the Cold War. Another great documentary from DW, vielen dank.

The Zionists are possibly as bad or even worse than the Stasi. If the world actually knew what was going on, the outcry would be deafening.
