Although I'm not Lügo, it is believed that it was just capitalistic propaganda spread out through West German TV and - bananas: http://www.welt.de/multimedia/archiv...L_1089244s.jpg (Front cover of a West German magazine in November 1989) That is possibly true to some extent in the same way that people often travel thousands of miles legally or illegally to find to their disappointment that e.g. the streets of London tend to be paved with sh1t rather than gold and that some (note- only some) of the locals are nastier than those they have left behind. snip |
