East Germany created

What the Soviet Union was looking for anyway, taking over other countries and spreading Communism. Now We are seeing that right here at home with the spread of Marxist Socialism/Communism in the United States, some people NEVER learn !

Having served in northern germany 86-89. We use to drive to Berlin. First having to get general orders. Then proceeding to check point alpha at the inter-German border east of Hanover. Going through mp checkpoint first then the Soviet checkpoint next. Had 2-5 hours to make the drive from. Checkpoint alpha to checkpoint bravo at the east german border and the west berlin border. If you got there faster than 2 hours MP's gave you a speeding ticket. If you didn't make it in 5 hours they sent out a search party. If pulled over by east german police we were lock doors and windows closed and hold up a placard requesting a soviet officer. Once in west berlin we would put on our uniform to cross at the infamous checkpoint Charlie. As berlin was still an occupied city by the four powers. West was American, British, French zone. East was soviet zone. In fact still have some currency from former east block countries. My kids used them at show and tell in school along with our piece from the berlin wall. Those were fun times..... lol
