    Yes, but unlike the soviets they didnt strip the industry bare as reparations and didnt put us under a totalitarian survailance state that when you protested brought out the tanks. Ofc old east germans will say “it wasnt all that bad”. yes Oskar however it was STILL A FUCKING DICTATORSHIP WHERE ⅓ OF ITS POPULATION WAS SPYING ON THE OTHER ⅔!!

    Also from what i got told, you barely knew there was an american occupation until the founding of the german republic, while in the east you defenetly saw and felt it
