In germany we credit all fighters that freed us. From NZ to Britain. From canada to brazil. Especially the resistance fighters. Soviets arent credited in a well meaning way since they then also occupied us and did many war crimes on us too
Didn’t america also occupy Germany, iirc we still have a lot of bases there to this day. I guess it was just a more friendly occupation with far less oppression.
Yes, but unlike the soviets they didnt strip the industry bare as reparations and didnt put us under a totalitarian survailance state that when you protested brought out the tanks.
Ofc old east germans will say “it wasnt all that bad”. yes Oskar however it was STILL A FUCKING DICTATORSHIP WHERE ⅓ OF ITS POPULATION WAS SPYING ON THE OTHER ⅔!!
Yes Oskar the reunification was a robery, unjust and more an annexation rather than fusion of two equals.
Also from what i got told, you barely knew there was an american occupation until the founding of the german republic, while in the east you defenetly saw and felt it
