Or Vietnam! They were always in need of some parcels. I remember THAT! :)
But the parcels could have been prepared for communist Angola, constantly torn by civil war.

Mind you...I somewhat doubt that my East German overlords would waste their school kids time to send humanitarian aid in a roundabout way to support the Solidarity uprising in the "socialist brother country" Poland...I wonder where else the parcels were send to...
I don't remember! :(
I too remember faintly packing such parcels with my school class, it was an organized action after school and all classes did it...

Wasn`t POLEN written on the parcels?

There is even a movie about the West German help for Poles during that time:

Yes, I can give you that but only when it comes to some types of speciality sausages.

Nope...it's about "Klima Schutz"....after that logic every child destroys to much of the climate (CO2 foot print). Rich children are not better than poor kids. To save the planet we need to constrain ourselves...the author said.
I can't help thinking that idea would fit better to Africa and Asia where people are spawning as if there is no tomorrow (China being excepted). Not really to Germany or Europe generally with their already sinking birthrates...

Maybe german women will get in the future a bonus for NOT bearing children to fit the population size to the rest of the manual jobs where humans are still needed.
The first ideas are being thrown around....

PS: Of course to keep the borders open at the same time for foreigners with lotsa foreign children would be then somewhat counter productive..

Most of India still lives firmly in the third world, China too. A majority is still uneducated even illiterate, dirt poor, without access to health care or even clean water, I'm not even mentioning civil rights and participation on a democratic process, people in Beijing and Delhi are dying daily from inhaling their poisonous, toxic air ffs...The people in the West live generally on a much higher niveau....most Indians and Chinese can only dream of!
A few prestige projects and a few abysmal rich people don't show the whole picture.
And please, just try writing a posting without injecting muslims somehow innit, TRY! Thank you.

That's not a fair comparison.....
For the US and most of the West space has lost it's priority. A grave error which will cost us dearly, especially as the Russians have never let up and the Chinese have found their ambition to become a space faring nation too.

Why are you so interested in lowering the numbers at all? Shouldn't you be...I dunno...proud of that "achievement" and instead of downtalking it?
Your usual posts don't give the impression as if you have great empathy or compassion for the fate of "them Jews" under the Nazis....
Nonetheless it doesn't change the fact that in 1989 auschwitz numbers were reduced by a whopping 3 million

Isn't it mind boggling when non-Germans adore Hitler and the Nazis? Totally ignoring the sacrifices their own ancestors brought and the fate what would had awaited them if their heroes had won?
Is there something more sick and stupid? Suicidal maybe? Traiterous at least?
I can understand when Germans or even Japanese do this, but Russians? Poles? Brits, USians????
our family would have been reduced to the role of Untermenschen and you would never have been able to travel to Chicago

Genealogy / The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [676]
I repeat:
That means 16,8 million Germans have european roots...meaning their parents or one parent came from countries like Poland....and only a small minority of those have roots in a muslim country, and most of these come from Turkey!
I repeat:
16,8 million : 2,8 million
Aren't you getting sick of harping on about such few people and feverishly painting doomsday scenarios? Why are you so damned scared of these people? You are sh'itting your pants just thinking about them...
Or are you racist to our european brethren too?
What is it?
Yeah well your perception exists in your head only...and has nothing to do with my reality!
So is the local.de statement that 1/4 Germans roughly 19 milhave a migrant background and Reuters saying it's 1/5 also nonsense?
I repeat:
Of these 19,3 million Germans with foreign roots only whopping 2,8 Million have turkish roots.

I usually do too. But we are still living in a Europe of nation states (and probably will do so for the next decades).
An independent East Germany would had IMHO only viable in a Europe of Regions...as an federal region of Central Europe. But even for this the Bundesländer Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg, Thüringen, Sachsen und Sachsen-Anhalt would had better chances if they unify to one region.
For example Mecklenburg-Vorpommern would be not be viable on its own, no matter the alternative scenario....
Well...I'm an Ossi too and I'm very grateful for the Amis. They were on our side all the way as even our own brethren cuddled with Dictators and licked the boots of the Politburo.
I don't forget that!
Again, there are no worse anti-Americans than those on the hard left! (But they adore Putin).
NEVER! :)

...still an unrealistic vision. Totally disregarding the fact that East Germany never was an independent state...forty years of communist indoctrination couldn't it make it so in the mind of the people.
It always was only a soviet zone of occupation of Germany cut out forcefully, against the will of the people, only kept alive with a stone wall and the military.
But then please do so with all of Europe...good luck with reshuffling the borders.
Just look back before WWII...East Germany was then not the "far" East but Mitteldeutschland...in many ways the scientific and cultural german mainland.
Bavaria for example was only rural, agrarian backyard.
It became the wild East after 40 years of isolation...not of free will!
