Fall of the Berlin Wall +Video (GermanyFRG/ x Gilbert/GDR)
Hello good people out there :))
I want to wish you all a nice day, cause 20 years ago, the Berlin Wall tumbled and fell.
A day we should all remember and think of ^__^ I made an AMV ( and I'm gonna talk to you a bit more about it :3 I hope you are interested :DD *hugs all Hetalia Fans on this special day*
As you all know, Germany was seperated once after the War. After WW2, the Allies seperated Germany in two pieces. The capitalistic Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) for England, America and France and the socialistic German Democratic Republic (GDR) for the Soviet Union. For exactly 40 Years, there existed a stalinistic "Communism" (I don't think Stalinism is Communism, it's a dictatorship) was the policy of a repressed nation.
But let me make one thing clear, the GDR wasn't as horrible as you might imagine <_<''
Many people have the picture of a North Korea now, it's something smiliar, but North Korea is much more extreme than the GDR was ^^ My parents were living in the GDR and they were happy, you didn't have this mass production of food like in a capitalistic system as today and you were happy about many many smaller things that are normal for us today; and that's special!
I finished this Video really quickly today, so it could suck a bit XDD'' What's important about that, is that you MUSTN'T mistake East Germany for Prussia, really XD Prussia is also adapted as "East Germany" in the Manga, but Prussia didn't have to do anything with the GDR ^^;;;
But I took our beloved Gilbo as the GDR in this video :)) "Wind of Change" by the Scorpions is THE anthem for the Fall of the Wall, when you hear this song, everyone think of our German Unity :)
I HOPE YOU ENJOY :DDDDD

Yeah, you see, we never learn anything really in our history classes, and they're always so terribly biased, but it's better than nothing. I hate it when people are so ignorant about things. I almost wrote a research paper about the White Rose for my English class, but I couldn't find enough sources :(
That's so true! But it's kind of funny, I live in California and Schwarzenegger is the governor, but I always have to pause and think for a second to remember he's Austrian. Then again, I don't think about him really XD
