East Germans benefited especially from access to West German radio and television programs, which furnished previously unobtainable news about world events.

To blame the East German border regime on the East German system and on those who upheld it alone and to declare the East-West confrontation as totally irrelevant in prosecuting former East German officials is one of the greatest acts of historic revisionism, and a cruel example of Germany's justice system.
Any concessions towards former East German officials in terms of acknowledging (and considering) the real historical complexities surrounding the development of the East German state, what it in fact was, other than a total totalitarian repressive state, would be political suicide.

For a "moment" in German politics-- from late 1989, when the east German state collapsed and the Berlin Wall was opened, to approximately October 1990, when the two German states were unified into one Federal Republic-- a new set of political actors became entered the public sphere.
East German feminists reluctantly recognized that unification was inevitable in early 1990 and then very actively sought cooperation with abortion activists in West Germany.

The East German crisis of 1953, climaxing in the June uprising, was first and foremost an existential crisis for the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and its regime headed by the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED).
On the basis of the papers of German communist Wilhelm Pieck it has long appeared that meetings between Stalin and the SED leadership in early April 1952 were an occasion where Stalin brusquely ordered the SED to militarize the GDR and to set it firmly on a road to socialism.
If Moscow or the SED spoke of German unification in 1953, it was because of what Stalin had told Ulbricht and friends at the end of their final meeting in 1952: "You should continue propaganda for German unity in the future.
