My mom and dad were there and they were immigrating under the tunnels and slept in bunkers for long time.The germans wanted they're finger prince photos then and asked them questons for (Why do you atemt to immigrate?)and many other questins.....The time was hell in there they staid all night in front of the bunker,(like guards) to protect the people from the germans,because of the german soldiers see you there (under the tunels imigrating) the will attack you whit knives
I was born and raised in the East. Yes, it was the German their fault. I know. But, people still suffered and it was still bad. They were still deeply saddened. You don't really care why things are bad when they are, you just want to get out of it asap. Like in 1986.. everybody else was getting iodine tablets because the Chernobyl cloud was coming. We didn't get anything because, ya know, "nothing" happened....bunch of pigs they were!
but my commets were about them and u answerd using my name, so that means u were talking about the same thing, or u r stupid and don't understand what i was talking about... as.s.ho.le
i would say it all started from germans, they were for hitler, they listened to him, he started the war. if germans didnt support him, maybe that would never happened, maybe wall would've never been built.. they supported hitler's genocide, and when the wall was built they were crying cuz families were separated????? :DDDDDDDDDDD
@Nidule86 You know very little about real history. No one, not even ordinary Germans, knew the true Hitler, psychopath, nihilist, social darwinist, gambler, until it was too late. Even the rest of the world got fooled by him. And the sad thing is that Hitler would never have happened without the stupidly vindictive end to WW1 in 1919; instead of concluding peace based on the 14 points, the Allies decided to ruin, humiliate and starve the young Weimar Republic and made revenge inevitable
@sobelou This is an excuse often given. The conditions the Germans and Austrians gave the Russians at Brest Litovsk were far more severe than Versailles.
@alanheath True, but Brest-Litovsk is barely a footnote in History, as it lasted for less than a year, so it didn't have any long term consequences, except for highlighting the political stupidity of the German Imperial regime, inclusing that of the General Staff at the time. So your comment isn't really relevant. The question is, now that Empire had fallen, wouldn't it have been wiser if the victors had given the young Republic a fighting chance?
@sobelou Of course two wrongs don't make a right and with hindsight, yes you are right. But Versailles would have been morally totally unacceptable had the Germans and Austrians not annexed so much land from Russia - particularly after the USSR pulled out of the war but the Central Powers continued to attack it. After they had already done so then they can scarcely have expected anything else. Also Brest Litovsk was not meant to be temporary but permanent.
@alanheath Glad to see that we can find some common ground. Of course Brest-Litovsk was not menat to be temporary, it just ended up being temporary becasue of the Central Powers' defeat. But the political consequences of the defeat weren't paid by the arrogant and stupid imperial regime, but by the Republic that perhaps would have had a chance had it not been for the misery, the hunger and the humiliation that it had to manage, as if the Republic had caused the war.... Thanks for your note!
@sobelou I do not believe the economic consequences were necessarily the fault of Versailles but rather the general economic climate as we see similar problems in other countries too. The reparations would have been painful - but much less so than the cost of the war. The hunger and misery was caused by inflation and economy - not Versailles. As for humiliation - well, it was far worse after WW2 yet no-one mentions it then.
The sins of my ancestors are my sins just as the heroism of my ancestors are my heroism they can not be washed no matter what you say or do. Ask people wich ancestors lived in time when Hitler was in power to tell you real stories about contrecation camps, about shutting kids from schools, about slaughtering and raping about shooting 10 civilians for killing one simple german soldier, 100 civilians for the German officier. Germans will never be able to wash shame of HITLER.
You know what is really funny? The fact that even though they poured tons of resources for the making of the wall the final score is : 5000 people manage to escape and only 100 were captured and killed...
The pain caused to these Germans is no more than 1% of the pain that they caused to all the world with supporting Hitler in WW2! Violence generates violence, they deserve it... (I have nothing against the modern Germans, I admire them for that they restored the economy of Germany)

For those in the dark, Allied forces did not actually occupy Germany after WWI, leaving the Germans free after a few years to re arm and start another war. After WWII Germany was divided and occupied. In my opinion, considering the havoc they have wreaked on Europe, they have gotten off very very very lightly especially when you read Mein Kampf and see what they had in store for occupied Europe.
@TraderKeith Actually there were Allied Forces in Germany after the First World War I. The issue was not Germany re-arming, it was entirely legitimate that a post World War I Germany should re-arm, it was what Germany was re-arming for, was the issue.
@TraderKeith As for the Germans getting very lightly, it is true that there were senior people in the Nazi establishment that should have been either executed or served lengthy prison sentences and who were effectively told by the Western Allies that they had been bold girls and boys and not to do it again but that said, the German people did suffer during World War II, being in a German city in a firestorm created by Allied bombing would have been no fun at all.
Hitler was part of a wave of evil fascism that spread across Europe. He scraped and bullied his way into power by abusing the democratic process in extremis and then proceeded to commit acts of barbarism in the name of the great German people. His legacy is that, thanks to neo nazi freakheads, most of whom have never seen the horror of war and therefore idolize it, some Germans have come to accept his crimes as part of them. Given a real choice, most Germans would never have endorsed Hitler.
It is the same mentality in play with regard to those who put up the Berlin wall, as those who are trying to introduce COICA, why don't you f8ck off to North Korea or Saudi Arabia, Texas GOP Senator John Cornyn and stay there.
@adrianwainer "Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) is a bill introduced by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) on September 20, 2010." I think the majority of laws passed that stifled Constitutional rights have been made by Dems. You know like Slavery,Segregation, Jim Crow ...etc.
@Xantheus07 That was the Old Democratic Party, when the Southern Democrats (Dixiecrats) had a lot of sway. The Democrat Party of today is ruled more by Northerners and Californians like Pelosi. Nixon's strategy was to take those Southerners and turn them into Republicans , the Bible-belters.
Only few people in the world know that Korea is divided by a huge concrete wall on the 38th Parallel which was erected by the United States of America at the end of the Korean War. This wall is hundreds of times bigger than the one that existed in Germany and separates Korean families – brother from brother, parent from child.

@stellarworker cuba whats that got to do with anything? (and before you go like OOMMMMGGG or whatever i know about the cuban missle crisis that still has nothing to do with communists i meanw e put missles in turkey aswell....)
I was almost 3 yrs old when the Berlin wall came down. The fall of the berlin wall is one of my most favorite events in history. It marked the end of a terrible era
I postulate that the 45 year division of Germany led to a far stronger anti war movement in Germany than would have otherwise been the case if Germany had not been divided. Of course, I do not condone the terrible acts of the and any "innocent" death is regrettable imo but the Germans to have a tendency to bleat on about Dresden, Hamburg and Berlin when they need to realize they sowed the wind, so shall they reap the whirlwind, as Air Vice Marshall Hugh Dowding is rumored to have said ...
I would hardly call the Berlin Wall a case of "whipping the whipping a boy until he's unconscious for following a stupid, stupid crowd." Rather, the division of Germany and Berlin was a measured lesson, with relatively limited casualties (compare with war itself) of helping Germany realize that there were consequences to their "adventure", as one Austrian I know calls it.
After WWI, the Germans were essentially let off the hook and soon forgot about not going to war. After WWII they were punished by occupation and division for a generation. This has had a longer lasting effect in preventing another German attempt at military domination of Europe, though the EC has largely facilitated industrial domination to some degree (perhaps we can live with that). We are not talking right and wrong here. This is unfortunate reality.
@TraderKeith The Germans were let off the hook? How do you come to that conclusion? Germany has paid royally for it's past. And is still paying. See Google 'germany restitution' and you'll see. Also google 'there's no business like Shoah business" which will bring you much needed enlightenment. Hope this will give you a little insight into reality.
@stellarworker I said that that the "Germans were essentially let off the hook after World War ONE, not WWII. Get some glasses. No amount of so called "Shoah business" will bring back the dead of WWII and WWI. The dead will testify to that. So much of this YouTube stuff is a "you and us" like mentality. Get real. The war ended 65 years ago with over 60 million dead, of which many were good German Christians. Instead of defending Hitler the Germans should hate him for this and I know many do.
@stellarworker Glasses on! That's the whole point. The Treaty of Versaille had no way of being enforced and left the right wing free to break the agreement . That's why Germany was not let off again the hook after WWII. Essentially the Allies tried to take the easy path after the WWI and look what happened. No, unfortunately Germany needed to be taught a lesson that was actually enforced and that is what happened after WWII. 60 million people later.
@TraderKeith The harsh terms of the Treaty, such as the reparations that Germany had to pay to the Allies, prevented the German economy from recovering. (money had to be paid out in reparations). This lead to the inability of the Wiemar Republic to make living conditions and economic level of Germany good for the people. This unhappiness gave Hitler an opening and he built on it, claiming he would restore Germany's economy and position in the world. THIS WAS NOT REPEATED AFTER WW II.
@stellarworker It was the Great Depression which followed the Wall Street Crash that plunged Germany in to economic chaos. There was serious deprivation in Germany during the Depression but it was very bad in Britain too but British people rejected Nazi type ideas and in Germany the German people embraced Nazi type ideas and the German Conservatives and German Army failed to confront the Nazis which is what they should have done, even if it meant a military coup to keep the Nazis from power.
@stellarworker There were patriotic loyal Germans who sought to frustrate the Nazis to the best of their abilities, for example a Luftwaffe crew flew a night-fighter with then state of the art on board radar to Britain. But that said, Hitler enjoyed huge popularity in Germany from when he took power till when things started to go wrong on the Eastern Front.
@stellarworker As for Hitler being an Austrian, there is a legitimate argument to be made that petite-bourgeois Austrian catholic antisemitism could have played a part in his developing his ideas about the Jews but the majority of Germans in Wiemar regarded Hitler as a German not an Austrian.
@TraderKeith Whtat do you mean "Let off the Hook"? They were badly punished after WW1. They had to take full blame for the war, they had to pay more than 6 billion dollars for the damage. They were not let off the hook.
@Noahyay I was taking relatively: Compared to being invaded, financial reparations of WW One cannot compare with the proper invasion of and division of Germany after World War II. It actually took many years of invasion and occupation after the Second World War to, essentially, break the hold the German Right Wing had (has?) on the German psyche - who were essentially the cause of many wars. Of course we cannot be sure still that these bloodhounds will not try for another round.
The children of those who did wrong - and not all of them very wrong at all (some did terrible wrong, I don't deny that) - should not have been "punished" for the sins of their parents and grandparents. The child is not responsible. Those of you who think this was an adequate punishment sicken me to my core. It wasn't the older generation who suffered so much as the young - born to this great hulking THING. Children should never be punished for events that they could neither change norunderstand
Don't forget what caused the Berlin Wall. The Germans invaded and sparked a world war that killed 60 million people. The wall, though a hard thing was a reminder from one side that punished the German people in a very visible way for their terrible deeds in the last century. Most adults in Berlin when the wall was built were shouting Hail Hitler just 20 years earlier! Let's hope they have learned their lesson. Deutschland Uber Alles is still the German National Anthem. One wonders ....
@TraderKeith "learned their lesson"??? If they were yelling anyhting 20 years earlier, then they were too old to have learned any kind ogf lesson and it became the human rights nightmare that it was long, long before that. There is no "punishment" in whipping a boy until he's unconcious for following a stupid, stupid crowed. Keep in mind those who DIDN'T support the Nazis were liable to wind up dead.
@Erynnsilver and many did pay the price with their lives. Unfortunately many Germans who witnessed those times are not talking about what they went through, including my mother and grandmother....I just recently got wind of one story where my mother (age 17) was trying to help a Jew in Berlin to an escape contact. She and he were caught by the Nazi's. They told her to turn around and leave. As she did, he was shot. And that was her rememberance of New Years Day 1943.
I remember what it was like living in the DDR. As a child, we were treasured and spoiled by the SED. As an adult, it was much different, life was regimentated, and monitored by the Stasi. (DDR Gestapo). When the Wall fall, we were in tears of joy. We saw the wonderland of the West and all of its goods. Wunderbar! Long Live United Germany!
In response to the comment by nbtk7m3: Ronald Reagan, M. Thatcher, and the pope had very little to do with the ending of the of the Berlin wall. The main instigator of change was the people of East Germany protesting, from 1953 through to 1989 for more freedom of travel, and democratic choice. The only Non german politician or person of influence that could claim to have helped the East Germans directly in their 1989 revolution is the Mikal Gorbachev. The others used the situation as a prop
@realistic67 This is not true. The US covert support of the Solidarity movement in Poland set the dominoes falling. However you are right - if not for Gorby we could still have an iron curtain today. The German people pushed the final buttons sure - but non German events created the precursor conditions for this to happen.
@realistic67 You are mistaken Reagan had a huge role to play in it. People who hate Reagan seem to forget that the USSR had no problem with killing protester/defectors. It was LARGELY thanks Reagan that the USSR over reached in outdoing the US. They had NO MORE MONEY to pay things called GAURDS to watch borders. The Berlin Wall came down because the GDR(lap dogs of the Soviets) could no longer keep people from traveling to other USSR territories and fleeing to western Germany from there.
@realistic67 ye fuck margaret thatcher...she had nothing to do with god damn shit...shes the one who said unification is to soon....how the fuck can u say that....u really think the germans cared about economy or any political action after...no,they just wanted to see there loved ones...and to me,thats most important,if i lived in germany at this time....bless the ppl of germany and there unification :)
@realistic67 Dude your a idiot! Thatcher wanted the wall to stay up and the Pope along with Ronald Reagan did more then say Kennedy who ended up not wanting to "compromise the wall" and as for Gorbachev. Don't think for a minute was truly being a nice guy. Only under pressure did he finally decide to take the wall down.

For those in the dark, Allied forces did not actually occupy Germany after WWI, leaving the Germans free after a few years to re arm and start another war. After WWII Germany was divided and occupied. In my opinion, considering the havoc they have wreaked on Europe, they have gotten off very very very lightly especially when you read Mein Kampf and see what they had in store for occupied Europe.
TraderKeith 1 year ago
@TraderKeith Actually there were Allied Forces in Germany after the First World War I. The issue was not Germany re-arming, it was entirely legitimate that a post World War I Germany should re-arm, it was what Germany was re-arming for, was the issue.
adrianwainer 1 year ago
@TraderKeith As for the Germans getting very lightly, it is true that there were senior people in the Nazi establishment that should have been either executed or served lengthy prison sentences and who were effectively told by the Western Allies that they had been bold girls and boys and not to do it again but that said, the German people did suffer during World War II, being in a German city in a firestorm created by Allied bombing would have been no fun at all.

Hitler was part of a wave of evil fascism that spread across Europe. He scraped and bullied his way into power by abusing the democratic process in extremis and then proceeded to commit acts of barbarism in the name of the great German people. His legacy is that, thanks to neo nazi freakheads, most of whom have never seen the horror of war and therefore idolize it, some Germans have come to accept his crimes as part of them. Given a real choice, most Germans would never have endorsed Hitler.

Only few people in the world know that Korea is divided by a huge concrete wall on the 38th Parallel which was erected by the United States of America at the end of the Korean War. This wall is hundreds of times bigger than the one that existed in Germany and separates Korean families – brother from brother, parent from child.

I postulate that the 45 year division of Germany led to a far stronger anti war movement in Germany than would have otherwise been the case if Germany had not been divided. Of course, I do not condone the terrible acts of the and any "innocent" death is regrettable imo but the Germans to have a tendency to bleat on about Dresden, Hamburg and Berlin when they need to realize they sowed the wind, so shall they reap the whirlwind, as Air Vice Marshall Hugh Dowding is rumored to have said ...
TraderKeith 1 year ago
I would hardly call the Berlin Wall a case of "whipping the whipping a boy until he's unconscious for following a stupid, stupid crowd." Rather, the division of Germany and Berlin was a measured lesson, with relatively limited casualties (compare with war itself) of helping Germany realize that there were consequences to their "adventure", as one Austrian I know calls it.

After WWI, the Germans were essentially let off the hook and soon forgot about not going to war. After WWII they were punished by occupation and division for a generation. This has had a longer lasting effect in preventing another German attempt at military domination of Europe, though the EC has largely facilitated industrial domination to some degree (perhaps we can live with that). We are not talking right and wrong here. This is unfortunate reality.
TraderKeith 1 year ago
@TraderKeith The Germans were let off the hook? How do you come to that conclusion? Germany has paid royally for it's past. And is still paying. See Google 'germany restitution' and you'll see. Also google 'there's no business like Shoah business" which will bring you much needed enlightenment. Hope this will give you a little insight into reality.
stellarworker 1 year ago
@stellarworker I said that that the "Germans were essentially let off the hook after World War ONE, not WWII. Get some glasses. No amount of so called "Shoah business" will bring back the dead of WWII and WWI. The dead will testify to that. So much of this YouTube stuff is a "you and us" like mentality. Get real. The war ended 65 years ago with over 60 million dead, of which many were good German Christians. Instead of defending Hitler the Germans should hate him for this and I know many do.

@TraderKeith Glasses on. Now google.'Treaty of Versaille'.
stellarworker 1 year ago
@stellarworker Glasses on! That's the whole point. The Treaty of Versaille had no way of being enforced and left the right wing free to break the agreement . That's why Germany was not let off again the hook after WWII. Essentially the Allies tried to take the easy path after the WWI and look what happened. No, unfortunately Germany needed to be taught a lesson that was actually enforced and that is what happened after WWII. 60 million people later.
TraderKeith 1 year ago
@TraderKeith The harsh terms of the Treaty, such as the reparations that Germany had to pay to the Allies, prevented the German economy from recovering. (money had to be paid out in reparations). This lead to the inability of the Wiemar Republic to make living conditions and economic level of Germany good for the people. This unhappiness gave Hitler an opening and he built on it, claiming he would restore Germany's economy and position in the world. THIS WAS NOT REPEATED AFTER WW II.
stellarworker 1 year ago
@stellarworker It was the Great Depression which followed the Wall Street Crash that plunged Germany in to economic chaos. There was serious deprivation in Germany during the Depression but it was very bad in Britain too but British people rejected Nazi type ideas and in Germany the German people embraced Nazi type ideas and the German Conservatives and German Army failed to confront the Nazis which is what they should have done, even if it meant a military coup to keep the Nazis from power.

@adrianwainer Many many people did reject the Nazi regime and the Austrian who started the whole mess.. Problem is that not much is written about it.
stellarworker 1 year ago
@stellarworker There were patriotic loyal Germans who sought to frustrate the Nazis to the best of their abilities, for example a Luftwaffe crew flew a night-fighter with then state of the art on board radar to Britain. But that said, Hitler enjoyed huge popularity in Germany from when he took power till when things started to go wrong on the Eastern Front.
adrianwainer 1 year ago
@stellarworker As for Hitler being an Austrian, there is a legitimate argument to be made that petite-bourgeois Austrian catholic antisemitism could have played a part in his developing his ideas about the Jews but the majority of Germans in Wiemar regarded Hitler as a German not an Austrian.

@Noahyay I was taking relatively: Compared to being invaded, financial reparations of WW One cannot compare with the proper invasion of and division of Germany after World War II. It actually took many years of invasion and occupation after the Second World War to, essentially, break the hold the German Right Wing had (has?) on the German psyche - who were essentially the cause of many wars. Of course we cannot be sure still that these bloodhounds will not try for another round.

The children of those who did wrong - and not all of them very wrong at all (some did terrible wrong, I don't deny that) - should not have been "punished" for the sins of their parents and grandparents. The child is not responsible. Those of you who think this was an adequate punishment sicken me to my core. It wasn't the older generation who suffered so much as the young - born to this great hulking THING. Children should never be punished for events that they could neither change norunderstand

Don't forget what caused the Berlin Wall. The Germans invaded and sparked a world war that killed 60 million people. The wall, though a hard thing was a reminder from one side that punished the German people in a very visible way for their terrible deeds in the last century. Most adults in Berlin when the wall was built were shouting Hail Hitler just 20 years earlier! Let's hope they have learned their lesson. Deutschland Uber Alles is still the German National Anthem. One wonders ....

There is no "punishment" in whipping a boy until he's unconcious for following a stupid, stupid crowed. Keep in mind those who DIDN'T support the Nazis were liable to wind up dead.

@Erynnsilver and many did pay the price with their lives. Unfortunately many Germans who witnessed those times are not talking about what they went through, including my mother and grandmother....I just recently got wind of one story where my mother (age 17) was trying to help a Jew in Berlin to an escape contact. She and he were caught by the Nazi's. They told her to turn around and leave. As she did, he was shot. And that was her rememberance of New Years Day 1943.

In response to the comment by nbtk7m3: Ronald Reagan, M. Thatcher, and the pope had very little to do with the ending of the of the Berlin wall. The main instigator of change was the people of East Germany protesting, from 1953 through to 1989 for more freedom of travel, and democratic choice. The only Non german politician or person of influence that could claim to have helped the East Germans directly in their 1989 revolution is the Mikal Gorbachev. The others used the situation as a prop

@realistic67 This is not true. The US covert support of the Solidarity movement in Poland set the dominoes falling. However you are right - if not for Gorby we could still have an iron curtain today. The German people pushed the final buttons sure - but non German events created the precursor conditions for this to happen.

@realistic67 You are mistaken Reagan had a huge role to play in it. People who hate Reagan seem to forget that the USSR had no problem with killing protester/defectors. It was LARGELY thanks Reagan that the USSR over reached in outdoing the US. They had NO MORE MONEY to pay things called GAURDS to watch borders. The Berlin Wall came down because the GDR(lap dogs of the Soviets) could no longer keep people from traveling to other USSR territories and fleeing to western Germany from there.
