Positioning the EU capital in Brussels is a clever way to ensure that Belgium will be obliterated in world war III as well

doesn’t it depend on time of year ww3 kicks off? I could swear I read something about millions of euros being spent every year to move the EU delegation to Strasbourg.

Turns out when you put a (fraction of a) country into social stasis in 1945 and just sort of paper things over with propaganda telling them "NOW YOU ARE THIS, WE WON, HOORAY IS WHAT YOU ARE NOW TO SAY *cocks gun*" you don't actually inspire much progress and dialogue in confronting the Bad Stuff.

my understanding was that west germany was the one that had a lot of nazis (good anticommunists) filling the ranks of the police, army and state institutions and east germany nazification was a new development thats been boosted by economic dislocation

SPD coulda worked with Die Linke twice to get a majority in the last millenium, but they chose not to. They deserve to own some of the unfolding jammerossi disaster.

If you think the early NVA didn't also rely on Wehrmacht officers to make up its high command I have a VEB to sell you.

Current east german closed-minded authoritarian shittiness def rhymes with GDR closed-minded authoritarian shittiness. This didn't pop up out of nothing after reunification. Treatment of guest workers (Vertragsarbeiter) for example was even more draconian than for the Gastarbeiter in the West. It was a shite state run by petty fascists.

A seven metre tall bust of his head, yes. Chemnitz was called Karl-Marx-Stadt between the fifties and the ravey nineties.
