    I heard someone in east Germany talk like this, like they lost a war.

    You’d feel like you lost a war too if your country went through what east Germany did during reunification. It can only be described as a looting leaving tens to hundreds of housands without jobs, security or prospects for the future.

      That is awful!

      The story i heard was that the east German factories were really unsafe, hadn’t been maintained in years, and had to be closed down.
