Just remind us, will you, what the GDP per head was in (a) the DDR and
(b) the BRD immediately before reunification?


A man who believes that Stalin didn't kill anyone and the DDR was a
workers' paradise is hardly likely to let facts trouble him.

Luko: why did people flee the DDR, even at risk to their lives, in
such numbers that the DDR needed armed guards to keep them in? If it
was as good as you say, why would people have been so keen to leave
it? And why didn't you live there while it existed?
