This is some great stuff. The world changes its skin so quickly, we almost forget we did not believe yesterday what is accepted today; and yet our essence remains the same.

Very interesting to see an outside perspective on yesteryear's politics.

Does anyone know who the two men are at 29.13?

[@11Kralle]

They seem to be local politicians (from the party surroundings of CSU-chairman F.J.Strauß).

Thank you very much

Strauss does look like Goring…just saying.

He was a corrupt crock but respectable as well because of his fierce demanding of freedom in "whole Germany" (speaking for the Germans in the GDR as well). This made him enemy no 1 for the radical left and a living provocation for the East German regime.
