And no, not an anecdotal account, USSR troops were in horrible state. They got more in East Germany, but compared to the standard here it was still abyssmal bad. They lived like animals.
I dont whine. Im glad we had that episode in our history. Infact it was very important, because it immunized us against leftist bullshit.
It was East Germany that voted far right now, hunted immigrants out, did not believe the government bullshit and steered politics back into more rational spheres.
For that im always thankful.
It was Eastern Germany that remained the old prussian spirit and crushed the western german kumbaya hippie ideology.
The hate and disgust, that Merkel faced in Eastern Germany in 2015 and 2016 wass so intense, it broke her mentally. She started shivering at public events here
Homo ideologies have no place in Eastern Germany. We dont welcome arabs and other 3rd world scum, tehy get hunted out of the cities. We vote far right and if it doesnt go our way, we rather burn the entire house down.
In the german reunion, west germans believed east germans become like them.
But the oppossite happened. East Germans proved immune to western ideologies. We wanted the economy, not the ideology. Now entire Germany is alot more than East Germany. Anti American, rising far right
