Blast from the Past

I first visited West Germany in 1978. I lived there as a student in 1980 and 1981, then visited breifly again in 1985. The divided Germany is the only one I have known. When I was in Germany, the DDR was a vivid reality. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I recently saw the film, Good Bye, Lenin and was inspired to pick this book up off of my shelf where it had stood gathering dust since I bought it at around the time of the collapse of the DDR. That got me going, so I'm reading Germany's Other Half by Franz von Nesselrode, published in 1963. It's interesting, too. The first chapter is titled "The DDR Is Here To Stay". Well, maybe not.
