The Berlin Wall
Came across this video, ---- makes me tears up.
Still remember seeing it on the news back then when I was a kid, pretty touching moment.

Re: The Berlin Wall
Funny, the last two Germans I talked to thought it was the saddest day they could remember in their lifetimes.
"That was the day my country's wealth was cut in half."
Apparently the east Germans were some uneducated no-skill ditch diggers used to standing in line for handouts aka the Communist way.

Re: The Berlin Wall
Most of the real Germans (the citizens) didn't like Hitler. He was one of those guys that started out charismatic and reasonable, but became more evil and scary with each new level of power he reached. By the time everyone realized the atrocities he was capable of, no one was willing to stand up to him for fear of their own lives It is therorized that Germans carry a lot of guilt about the atrocities committed by Hitler, mix that with their desire to be string and proud, and you get some odd behaviors sometimes.
