From today's point of view, what happened back then seems logical. Today we also know that the German-German divide lasted a long time, but it was not irreversible. And it seems almost inevitable that the democratic values of the West German constitution 1949 would prevail as the basis of society - including in the reunified Germany. But the Germans in 1949 couldn't even have guessed at all this. They were experiencing an unprecedented historical experiment in both East and West. It was a radically new situation: What if they made fundamental mistakes in the founding of their states? What if they were unable to overcome the curse of fascism? The documentary not only reconstructs the major events surrounding the founding of the two states in 1949, but also attitudes to life at the time. We meet contemporary witnesses from both countries who talk about embarking on a political and social journey, the course and destination of which were still quite open at that time.

If I was a Jew who had managed to escape the clutches of the Nazis, there's no way I would return to Munich like that family did. In fact, I wouldn't be able to live anywhere in Germany, not after what they did to my people.

I have studied the wars with fascination. I know that people are not like that. We get tangled up with politics and go with the flow. But we can all agree on so many things. It was a terrible conflict, this video shows the human side. How we move on and become great again. And be a beacon of peace.

My grand mother died age 107 and she lived through both world wars 1 & 2. She use to tell me how lucky we are in the modern era to have our liberty and freedom. She use to stress how much many people don't realize how lucky we are. We are damn lucky to have not crossed Hitler's path. Especially me a British born Caribbean man

DW makes quality documentaries on current topics all over the world. But they really excel on the history of their native country. It's fascinating to me that after WW2, Germany lived as two seperate nations for 40 years. DW's The Stasi and the Berlin Wall documentary is the perfect follow up companion to this one.

Excellent program, DW! I lived in Berlin (stationed at Tempelhof) before, during, and after Die Wende. It was an amazing change that was long overdue. I took classes at The Freie Universität and learned a great deal about German history from both the professors and equally from my fellow students, especially the history of both post-WW2 Germanys, which sadly wasnât available to college students in the East, who were restricted to rightthink by the SED and the UdSSR. By the end of the 80s, it was obvious to everyone that the East Germans, in large numbers, had become disillusioned with their ruling elite, who lived lives of extreme privilege in segregated communities (first in the Majakowskiring, then in Waldsiedlung) where they wanted for nothing, while the citizenry led lives of deprivation. This was not unlike the apparatchiks in the Soviet Union and their luxury lifestyles, while the proletariat and intelligentsia struggled to survive on what was on offer after standing in lines for hours.
I have to give DW credit for presenting history in a non-political way, letting each âsideâ speak their own stories and relying on the intelligence of the viewer to get it sorted. Thank you.

It's so amazing that Germany was able to continue as a nation after ww2

Excellent documentary, my late grandfather served in the British quarter in the army until 47, I remember him telling me in his later years how tough the German people had it after the war but how industrious they were as a people.

As a visually impaired person I canât thank you enough for interpreting the German speakers and footage rather than just subtitling it. Youâve made this more accessible to and enjoyable for many many people.
