East Germany Investigated
Hi there!
I have been interested in the Cold War, Iron Curtain and Berlin Wall since I was a child.
I am half German and my grandmother originally was from East Germany, hence my fascination for this topic.
Over the last 20 years, I have been reading books, visiting museums & monuments and I have been making pictures and video recordings of the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain.
It makes more fun to share your passion with others and not keep everything for yourself. The idea for starting this channel was born.
I found out that there currently is no other Youtube channel about East Germany in English language.
This is a shame, of course, as the history about East Germany must not be forgotten and should be shared all over the world!
I hope you'll enjoy my videos!
Kind regards,
Olaf
