I love how socialists are viewed in the US as the party of "gibsmedat" when all these welfare recipients here would be sent to the gulags or lined in front of a concrete wall and shot.

Nothing, outside of making some fine small arms.

Reunification crippled Germany financially. Many parts of the former East Germany are still undeveloped ex soviet shit holes.

South Korea studied the reunification of Germany to look at possible reunification with North Korea. They came to the conclusion that it was too expensive. North Korea would have to raise their GDP and development to above Africa tier, for it to ever be considered.

The being able to infiltrate western and then modern Germany. Lots of former Stasi and DDR agents have positions of power in Modern day Germany which is something you dont seen in other eastern bloc countries like Poland.

They're pretty much perfect symbols for socialist states when you put aside your opinions about socialism.

>Engineering and industry
It's actually German ingenuity, workers and farmers (the wheat)

That is impressive, but the Stasi was so prolific that it is not surprising
Was it something like 1 in 15 East Germans were Stasi informants or agents?

Most of the times they would just have some nice policemen paying them a visit and then they would go to work.

Yeah in Poland one ex-agent became president and right afterwards ex-communist party member was elected as one, 2 times in a row.

Ironically, the helmet design was a copy of the design made during the war for the successor of the old Stahlhelm. In addition the AK-47's design was inspired by the German Sturmgewehr 44.
>>
>>1094612
No, AK-47 was inspired by the M1 Garand.
