    Wow such a fair and balanced article!

    “Many eastern Germans perceive all criticism of the system as a personal attack,” says political scientist Klaus Schroeder, 59, director of an institute at Berlin’s Free University that studies the former communist state. He warns against efforts to downplay the SED dictatorship by young people whose knowledge about the GDR is derived mainly from family conversations, and not as much from what they have learned in school.

    So much to unpack, the history of Europe immediately post WW2 is interesting and I know very little about it. Unfortunately I have ADHD and can only consume content in podcast form. Would love an audiobook or blowback style series on the topic

      der spiegel is one of main political magazines in germany. it was founded by a “former” wehrmacht radio operator and a british secret service agent and has been serving as a anticommunist propaganda rag ever since. i only linked it for the statistic.

      im really sorry that i cant really help in terms of podcasts. though this channel has made videos on other european countries, as well as about the 1918 german revolution. his videos on west german zionism are really educational. hope that helps somewhat
