DEUTSCHLAND 83 is a gripping coming-of-age story set against the real culture wars and political events of Germany in the 1980s. The drama follows Martin Rauch (Jonas Nay) as the 24 year-old East Germany native is pulled from the world as he knows it and sent to the West as an undercover spy for the Stasi foreign service. Hiding in plain sight in the West German army, he must gather the secrets of NATO military strategy. Everything is new, nothing is quite what it seems and everyone he encounters is harboring secrets, both political and personal.

The video description here is wrong. These students are actually from the West who, while visiting East Berlin, bought these books in the East and are now trying to go back over to West Berlin. They're accused of exchanging money on the black market to get them even more cheaply. I used to buy books in the East and the books were so cheap we didn't have to exchange money on the black market. Books were pretty much the only thing we could find that we wanted to buy with the 20 Deutschmarks we were forced to exchange 1:1 at the border upon entry.
This scene is quite real. In the late 1980s I was active on the black market in DDR- East Germany Alexanderplatz, Berlin selling recorded cassette tapes and BASF blank media from West Germany. There was huge demand for Dirty Dancing music at that time. I used to buy them legally in Poland, smuggle through the border, sell for DDR-Marks, then go to West Berlin make a currency exchange, and then buy VHS recorders and bring them back to Poland where they were sold on black market as the demand was high. I made a several trips like that, where I enjoyed cheap food and not so decent DDR type of Cola. I will especially remember my last trip. That day, I went to Ost-Berlin with my friends whom I wanted to introduce into the art of the deal. After everything was sold and money counted, while resting on the steps of the fountain, we were suddenly surrounded, and arrested by a dozen of so Stasi/Secret Police agents. They took us to some kind of basements below Alexanderplatz Station, interrogated us, showed us the photos documenting this and some of the of previous trips I made, confiscated my money and after a couple of hours they sent us free without pressing charges...
cool story!
Amazing. Very hilarious
I love this show! I was stationed in Germany in 83, and it is awesome to be able to see the East German perspective. It’s also very nostalgic for me. Someday I would like to go back as a non soldier, and see Germany the way it is now.
In 1982, I went to East Berlin. I, too, bought Ostmarks (East German money) on the "black market" (in a West German bank). The official rate was 4 to 1 Bundesmarks....and 80 or 120 to 1 in a West German bank. US personnel would load up on Ostmarks and go shopping for what you could get then....food, and basic items, Big ticket items like Zeiss binoculars, you had to show a receipt deom an East German bank to buy.
Then they laugh after...they don't believe this crap, either!
+Ash Before the pope went to Cuba, the government arrested 300 dissidents who might have protested or demonstrated. Zaqueo Baez was tackled right in front of the pope and dragged away, Berta Soler was dragged away by the hair. Others were badly beaten.
It's been oppressing its own people since the Revolution. A medical student chose to temporarily leave school and have her baby, and then was denied entrance to any medical profession because she ungratefully and certainly unpatriotically chose her family over the Revolution.
Cuba 'kid of nails' its own people.
The Starstina is right.
A total socialism that tries to wipe out any "egoism" (=personal longing for success, safety, survival, fun) will not work; it will cause agony and anger and thus jeopardize society.
A total capitalism that drives "suboptimally performing" participants to desperation will not work, it will cause agony and anger and therefore endanger society.
So modern states and goverments try to fuse both: A strong economy is generating the personal sense of achievement, and the money. This money is used in order to build social security, which reassures the people and guides the economy. Like an automobile that does need an engine, but that engine needs on the one hand fuel and on the other hand security features and relief velves. And a driver. And a road...
We see: It is pretty complicated and difficult, to say the least, and by far the fewest countries in the world are wealthy enough to achieve and maintain such a fragile system.
(And I know: Talk is cheap. Especially as a born Western German like me.)
Hattakiri But even cheap talk can be right. And yours isn't cheap.
Russian Troll 'Worked.'
It 'works' only if and as long as everyone in the system agrees with it. That is, as long as people do not act as people always have.
+TheStarstina Its good if you're lower class. It helps people. I am to from Russia/ When my me and my mother moved to England we were faced with poverty. Its easy to make fun of socialism and to criticise it. But when you're hungry and you don't get your welfare payments. You sure miss the good old days...
My friend is a police, he told me he laughs every time just like this after he tries to play tough in front of suspects, of course i am talking about suspects of minor crime like stealing
absolutely awesome.
dat outro music...
Brilliant.
