Which but youre up by a day w. Documentary looking at germany and the cold war is up next dont forget you can get over like this news and information around the clock on our website as to be competent w dot com ron thomas will be back with more news at the top of the alpha now imagine how it for me and been taught to n. P. R. And believe its what youve. Done. And you hear me known for years we dont need you and how it all stands gentlemen sonce now we bring you im going to makeover as youve never thought id have been surprised himself with what is possible who is magical really what moves that and want also the people who felicia along the way from our midst and critics who want to join us from eccles last stop. The cold war was an ideological for people who said you know it is not clear what system is best what system will prevail. In track of it which are long time the issue of who was more powerful economically to see was not totally clearly displayed and in the west the sputnik shock caused total panic sets for the. Motion how surprising was that now its us who are showing the west showing the americans what technical progress is to show from which the. Dumb minds got to see. It to you the military doctrine at the time was mutual assured destruction we were prepared to think its a. Really were. Just going to throw in the 1st 15 minutes of a war germany would have gone up in flames like a tool which. It had we were really scared because it could all kick off any time someone goes crazy and bam were in the middle of it to go on. The 2nd world war came to an end in europe in may 945. 00 with germanys Unconditional Surrender the victorious powers divided the ruined country into force zones of occupation it was supposed to be temporary but communist leader Joseph Stalin was in little mood for compromise with the western democracies france britain and the us. This Ideological Division led to the cold war a battle for dominance over the world that would last for decades and split europe into 2. Nowhere was this more evident than germany where the iron curtain ran through the middle of the country and the city of berlin was divided by a wall. Here and he is alone in western germany the war came to an end on april 16th 1945 when american troops arrived. It ultimately became part of democratic west germany. But not everywhere liberated by the americans ended up free. Is the version that most people could accept was to say who liberated us that we were liberated by the americans and we suffered under the russian sit in that was this lady that was the short form in other words the soviet unions contribution to liberating germany from fascism shrink. To virtually nothing if suzanne than. There were similar scenes at 1st in holland as allah and eastern germany in late april 1905 it too was taken by american troops. For 9 year old pay to the liberators were enemy soldiers but they were quite different from what he had been told to expect. As they entered the town in good spirits and she have any as if it were nothing special at all because we met them looked at them stupid as it was we bravely rejected the sweets and chocolate they offered us up for what i got but that was how we have been brought up sadly the americans were soon replaced by the russians and ive produced. For you to listen to. The russians came and the americans left. The allies had agreed that hollow would fall into the soviet occupation zone the days of sweets and chocolate were over. For dinner was a short drive not youre too announced we were afraid of the russian soldiers of one of them had assaulted our mother on her way to night school especially to learn russian for us fortunately it happened near our house got so drunk i heard my mother screamed and ran down until i was only 9 years old at the time i just saw the russian let go of her and disappear was a funny a pretty Short Interest on fox which took. Right from the start relations between russians and germans were fraught with problems it was a different story from the western sectors the division of germany had already begun. In late july 945 stalin met with us president harry truman and british Prime Minister Winston Churchill in potsdam near berlin. But no longer united against a common enemy there was little they could agree on the solution at the meeting in constant stalin had said right from the start the germany was not to be divided consider that truman categorically rejected that idea in his briefcase his assistant was carrying the real full models for the division of germany has already given. The victors mistrusted one another. Now that the struggle against nazi germany was over each wanted its own germany its own sphere of influence its own buffer against the others. Germany was divided into 4 parts. French. British american. With the 2nd world war behind them disagreements between the soviets and the western allies were out in the open the soviet union had lost more than 20000000. 00 people and was economically devastated stalin demanded 10000000000 dollars and access to their war Industrial Area in western germany stalin needed coal and he held a bargaining chip to the. German prisoners of war. Stalin had thousands of them herded through moscow even before the war was over. But this humiliation of the losing side failed to achieve its desired effect. This and. The mayor was silence people just stood there and looked and there was no shouting no outbursts of rage just this total silence absolute the shtetl in its own minds of the dimensions of the tragedy on both sides were so masses stuck that had to my view to my you might say that People Fairly quickly felt sympathy for the germans they were hungry and racket. In 1945 more than 3000000 german men were imprisoned in soviet camps many would not see their home again for many years if at all. The german prisoners were forced into reeducation. Socalled and teach us schools for anti fascist were designed to expunge the old ideology and instill communist ideals. And move us the who would know me the red army colonel tried to free us from this nazi ideology this view so that all returned to germany we would actually be educated marxists who are coming from in prisons and as friends of the soviet union would fall under the soviet dont you think a function of. Naziism was thoroughly discredited and communism aimed to fill the ideological vacuum the soviet union now controlled one half of europe and believed it was only a matter of time until it controlled the rest communist ideals had attracted many followers in the west now there were fears communists could take advantage of the postwar and stability to seize power as well and most clubs because i have from this. Speak to his test it is important to understand i think that there was this great fear that socialism was still a seductively ideology feel of the ship if you look east and later in the 1950 s. People spoke about and domino theory and this and this fear was not unjustified after all for a long time socialism had been a fascinating idea it would touch as if unlike today and back then it was often laying on to the notion of freedom efficient liberation and selfdetermination unsub space to move for good and. So was the soviet triumph over nazi germany not also a triumph of communism over a mean or should move to do even munich you. They were many people in america in france and britain who were convinced of the superiority of the soviet system. Some had come from the United States to help build up the system. Then claim the show would. Not. Have suited king even if it took the soviet union in so far as roosevelt and churchill to acknowledge that it was russia that had stopped hitler and broken his back so to see the it to which. As a result respect for the soviet union had grown. Last which. I believe churchills famous speech in missouri when he used the term. The start of the cold war. The need to. Reveal something. In the. In the adriatic and i are. Behind. The 8 state. That is. Why. The us responded with a show of by natural might in 1907 it approved the marshall plan. Officially known as the European Recovery Program it was designed to immunize europe against the spread of communist ideology. Containments was the term president harry s. Truman used to describe this investment. I believe. That it must be the policy of the United States. Support repeat are resisting it and subjugation by a minority are by outside pressure. The United States made 12400000000. 00 available to help western europe to rebuild. Germany its defeated enemy was also given the support. Of. This law which did marshalltown begin Student Health show in the estate industry. But stalin rejected american help for the soviet zone of germany in the east. And instead of helping to rebuild the region he sent 70000 officials to dismantle its economy everything was taken away minerals machinery entire factories and part of the harvest. It was the very opposite of reconstruction shortages remained widespread. In the west occupation took a different form in 1948 the Deutsche Mark was introduced a strong currency backed by the us dollar west germany began to flourish and the Occupying Forces began to be seen more as friends. Many u. S. Citizens sent care packages for the needy over the next 10 years the 3 western zones of occupation received 10000000 consignments of food. The americans also introduced Free School Meals to slowly people in the western occupied zones began to look ahead to the future. The currency reform saw the 3 western zones unite economically forming a tries own that was far bigger and stronger than this. Soviet occupied east. The 4th zone was sealed off from the others. The leadership in moscow installed loyal communist emigrants to run it. And at the top was a hardliner brushed who later built the berlin wall. And. He expressed hopes that the communists would soon take over the western zones and rule the country from berlin. In reality berlin was divided into 4 occupation sectors and it became the very front line of the cold war in 1948 angered by the western currency reform the soviet union cut off the western zones from their land supply routes. Trains barges and boat transports bush to. The United States britain and france were responsible for 2 and a half 1000000 people in but let all their food and fuel for their homes and factories could no longer be brought to them overlap. In a spectacular action planes landed and took off around the clock bringing in around 2100000. 00 tons of freight above all food and coal the berlin airlift as it became known ensured the survival of west berlin within a year the communists capitulated and reopened the land routes 1949 saw the founding of the 2 german states the democratic west and the communist east the division of germany was sealed. Prevail you know. But some do so if. You know it at the moment. What follows. Were decades of hostility between east and west as they buy for military supremacy. At 1st the americans believed they had the upper hand because they had the atomic bomb. After they were used on the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki the terrifying power of these weapons was clear by the time the cold war came to an end the americans had carried out more than a 1000 Nuclear Tests ready 5. But in 1949 the soviet union caught up with atomic weapons of its own the Nuclear Arms Race had begun. By 998 the soviet union had carried out more than 700 tests during the cold war a nuclear test was carried out on average every week and a half reviving old fears displayed a who feel that wasnt alone of to the 2nd world war as it was when i was a child the center of stuttgart was still in ruins in where all my relatives come from the cathedral was Still Standing but everything around it had been flattened so naturally we were afraid that something similar might happen again to scoop us you know those fears never went away nor did the victorious powers military barracks sprang up all over germany and the east the soviet army stationed in the west where the americans the british and the french promised and became the us has biggest military airfield outside its own territory the ultra modern Us Army Hospital that was built in the small town of blonds which was also its biggest outside America Military training grounds were followed by Housing Estates and schools the western forces also had their own Radio Stations. Allied protection didnt come cheap in the 1st year of its existence the young west german state paid half its tax revenue to the occupying army. The Occupying Forces had a huge Cultural Impact on west germany bringing movies and magazines that gave many germans a taste of the wider world. Today and then were given all the profiles the wires of a. P. Radios broadcast the sound of a new era that is in the west. And. In towns and cities in the east ruins were still visible everywhere the soviet union didnt invest it took frustration grew many people just wanted to get out some 200000 left the east in 1950 alone by the time the berlin wall was built 11 years later more than 2 and a half 1000000 had gone. East germany responded to this exodus by founding it secret police the stasi it undertook surveillance on a massive scale people lived in fear of their own government. We always put a coffee pot cozy over our telephone because we thought that was where the bug was it was only much later that we learned it had been installed in the ceiling afterwards and i found all the conversations weve had in our living room well documented in the stasi files we were always able to send many of our friends a letter outlining half an evening in which they had said this and that. Afterwards that was really amusing or was it doesnt doesnt look back then it wasnt as well thats not going to stick how much me. And for a short while there still appeared to be a final chance to end the division of germany and the cold war. Stalins last suggestion that germany should not be divided came in march 952 when he also proposed to pan german elections and japan German Government would have to turn to you. But he said germany must not belong to any military alliance adenauer however said before we negotiate with the soviet union on this west germany must become a member of nato to do so. And that was that is i think. That. Reunification became a distant dream and the cold war gathered momentum. East germany urgently needed economic success the government demanded increased output from the workforce it invented the propaganda legend of activist odd authentic of a miner who supposedly had voluntarily exceeded his own production quota by more than 300 percent. The communists claim to represent the working class but it seemed they didnt know the workers very well they would soon find out how they really felt. On june 17th 953 workers in east berlin revolted against drastically increased work quotas and went on strike many in the east heard the news from west berlin Radio Station and join them. In little by little the talk that they are not released also in the us the mud the soft. I always followed events on rios of course like not pop it was a day of great excitement and none of those men for can still remember my father taking my mother by the arm dancing around the apartment with her and saying over and over again mother from now on everything is going to get better. But things didnt get better. Shots were fired. That this day yesterday it was the feelings i think untended begin to. Even think im putting my life. And all the uprising on june 17th 953. 00 cost 55. 00 lives. West germany declared june 17th its national day. Dismissed nonteaching combination you knew they deserve to be a dust up over the freedom that it. Took to push down can took over mission was i. The escalating tensions between west and east fueled years of war. Is what is up and could be a trick thats also what i thought when the korean war broke out its also what my family found we had a Small Business and they began to hoard not theriot just because things are now really dangerous they said another war could begin so we must make sure we arent prepared for the flip of. A 1000 kilometers away in korea the superpowers faced off against each other just like in germany. Korea was divided into north and south. The economically and militarily strong north was allied with the soviet union and stalin gave his approval for. To invade the south. The Lightning Strike nearly succeeded but the u. S. Was soon able to drive back the invaders. In total the american sent 1700000. 00 soldiers to korea and china and the soviet union supported north korea while u. S. Led United Nations forces fought alongside south korea. The war ended in the summer of 1953 with the 2 sides facing each other along nearly the same border line on which the war had begun. For west german chancellor kahn about a lot of our there was no getting around moscow but decade after the end of the 2nd world war some 10000. 00 germans were still in present in the soviet union on an hours goal was to bring them home the price for that was recognition of the soviet union the hated communists unaccountably matic recognition of the soviet union by auden our was an initial step towards normalization law and now there was fierce resistance even from elements of the government who had accompanied him to moscow tied it to damani but odd now or got his way because so many germans were leading the terrible lives in russian camps after west germany recognized the soviet union the last remaining german prisoners of war were released to do in georgia critique of. The return of the 10000 was an emotional moment for many it was only now that the war had truly come to an end. But with fears that a new conflict could break out in 1955 west germany established an army the bun dispair. Neighboring countries viewed the formation of German Military units just 10 years after the end of the war with great concern. The new german army is gone not to use of it on the german army is not easily accepted by people with long memories 2 of those who think you uncreated fine on germany you even look. Like it or not the family is with us again. The bun despair was a member of nato the North Atlantic Treaty Organization right from the start soon to military blocs would be facing each other. East germany established its National Peoples army and early 1956 and it soon became a Founding Member of the communist military alliance the warsaw pact. That had been deemed to be in big trouble i dont doubt because you cannot do this and even then figure out how to get me and i dont you know i think thats good. Each action provoked a reaction each block justified its actions as a response to those of the other bloc. If war broke out between the superpowers it would happen in germany if the warsaw pact invaded it would probably go through the folder gap and a deliberate region in the middle of west germany along the border to the east the area quickly became highly militarized. And with tensions high the west was unprepared for perhaps the biggest shock of all sputnik when it launched this 80 kilogram satellite in 1957 the soviet union opened a new front in the cold war space. To the moon to sputniks a sputnik shock utter dismay in the west since it because it thought that those who had historically always been a bit back. Especially the russians had now overtaken it gets into and. How surprising was that done there was great rejoicing does the soviets are in front now it is us who are showing the west showing the americans what technical progresses faults with the soviet satellite secretary every 95 minutes over 500 miles up at a speed of 18000 miles an hour and when not to done pretty under force dont become you realize that its meant the soviets had missiles that in a worst Case Scenario could carry Nuclear Warheads and reach other continents intercontinental the photon. At 1st the space race looked like that between the tortoise and the hare the 1st living creature in space the 1st man the 1st woman. The 1st unmanned landing on the money those were all soviet successes. These triumphs were all sold to the people in the soviet union and its client states as victories of communism. Propagandistic that you know this the propaganda was always based on a comparison that youve got vast and weve got these i can do this well so what can you do will be more to the objective is not to portray something objective libs its even more stupid as a shrewd american folk singer once said to a 5 year old kid who doesnt want to sleep because even a lullaby is propaganda if you need to get it going to get there in you which it spites. Be in. The Common People reacted with scorn no food on our spoon but a plaque on the moon. Nixon and khrushchev these are the historic almost unprecedented scenes from the American National exhibition in moscow. Russians might have been far ahead at space but the average American Household was a world apart from its counterpart in the soviet union as the 1959 American National exhibition in moscow showed. This to naturally the exhibition only showed how americans live. When he sold his kitchen with a dishwasher a refrigerator and so on which were totally normal appliances for the average American Family a machine nikitas they gave each christian of who wasnt a stupid person regarded it as total propaganda you know. There was no way that could be true he said. If life in america seemed so much wealthier than in the soviet union that could only be interpreted as propaganda. Is. Captured on videotape a new american invention the heated discussion between nixon and khrushchev became known as the kitchen debate yeah i knew if i dont know everything and i would say that you know absolutely nothing about communism nothing except fear of it you must not be afraid of ideas. Even if thats what were telling you dont be afraid of idea we have nothing to fear but time has passed when ideas us the cold war and its very essence was an ideological war. And we forget so easily than in the 1950 s. And 1960 s. People said you know that its not clear what system is best what system will prevail. In 1959 on our call for the bundeswehr to take part in the planning and deployment of Nuclear Weapons. A concept known as nuclear sharing. Frightened me because by now well gee what had happened in hiroshima and nagasaki because he. Done. So we visited various military training areas in the vicinity of hamburg and he believed that we would be able to see from the card whether any Nuclear Weapons were stored there or anything else and then on december 6th there was a headline in the local newspaper honest john missiles tested in baghdad hornets and i said right thats where im going even if i have to go a lot of this year you know when he learned if you. The temples staged protests against rearmament culminating in west germany 1st easter peace march in 1960. The organizers faced widespread public anger. The vote of national relation we went and we take your own narrative that would soon have been harmless we were soundly cussed and of course regarded as communists go back to the east they shouted. Like that next to that thats. The Peace Movement failed to resonate with people enjoying west germanys on precedented economic phone. This rapid Economic Growth was drawing people from east germany via west berlin. And the 1950 s. Easterners could still travel there easily. The brain drain that resulted was a serious problem for the easts communist rulers. The neo messed things up to much ensure to come when we start of the new school year on september 1st half the class was always missing because they had left over the Summer Holidays among a hole in the vase 39. 00 is and its too fucked her feet of i wouldnt need us if its right fix it. Now in a common one say to go have a go betty think the easy bit fruit so i dunno if they start trying to positive. Contributions in flintstone not plants as big as the units he had been to just. Before exam me istomin the shift in jobs help me to shift so we did. On august 13th 1961 east germany closed the escape route by building a wall around west berlin. The berlin wall became. The very symbol of the cold war. It was an admission by the communists that they had to build a wall to keep their people in. This who owns an absolute shock it was an absolute shock for us and with of my mother was born in saxony in the eastern still have family that has sister was married to a man in east berlin so suddenly she was in a different world she was just not there not on the boat. Germans in east and west were horrified. What was going to come next. Kentucky 5 vividly remember that day in 1961 and i found it all really frightening its i was as white as a sheet i went to my parents and said now theres going to be war this as a king the question who had been born during war time world where of its former secret and were highly sensitive to such thing. On done improve on your oath do you pants down american tanks then drove to checkpoint charlie to the Border Crossing point on tradition gossamer live frugally strong where they were faced on the other side by soviet armor on the. Moon pieces or beautician there were only a few meters between them and we waited with bated breath hoping nothing what happened to my desk looking. Down. At the time there was a military doctrine of mutual assured destruction or mad for short from the storm even englishman who could this really was crazy over in a kind of if you attack me ill strike back and then well both be dead and then are they thinking. There were enough Nuclear Weapons in the world to destroy our planet not once but several times over. In the near for india to have to rearm. But the most dangerous moment of the cold war was still to come the cuban missile crisis in 1962 american war conason aircraft discovered that the soviet union had built Missile Launch sites on cuba only a few 100 kilometers from the us the missiles would be able to strike washington and numerous other major cities with ease from the caribbean island.
