Talk:History of East Germany

message: <Mike_H> Hm, all East German history articles seem to leave out the 40th anniversary of the Republic.
<Mike_H> They go from "Hungary opens its borders" to "the Wall fell," which makes it almost sound as if protests starting the night of the 40th anniversary had nought to do with it
I'm surprised that this article doesn't even mention the 40th (and final) birthday celebration of the GDR. From what I understand, this was when the larger pro-democracy protests started, especially in East Berlin itself. Mike H (Talking is hot) 16:51, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: GDR was a wall, not a country

message: It states that the population started at 19 million and decreased throughout the history of the state. So why does it also say that up to 20 million women were raped? There would never have been half as many women in the whole state at any one time; this estimate is therefore completely redundant. Either that or the population estimates are wrong. Can someone please find better figures? Or perhaps this occurred over decades; in which case could we figure out a percentage? It seems to me to be important that the scale of the atrocity is made clear.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.151.223.140 (talk) 17:35, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
