After WWII the allies split Germany into 4 zones one occupied by France, one by GB, one by Russia and one by America. GB France and America implanted a capitalist democracy into their zones - these three zones (which were virtually borderless) became the FRG (Federal Republic of Germany). East Germany which was occupied by Russia became the German Democratic Republic and had a single party socialist government. Berlin, however, was split as well between the allies creating a small island of the FGR within the GDR. After this division of Germany the Cold War began and Germany became polarized. Since many Germans were unhappy with life in the East they moved into the FGR, this was called the "brain drain" since many intelligent individuals left the socialist area. Due to the brain drain and rising tensions between Russia and the US the Berlin Wall went up overnight and German citizens living in East Berlin were not allowed to travel to the west. Families were separated, and many people died in attempts to cross the boarder to the west.
If you mean WW2 there wasn't a city that wasn't bombed or damaged in some form. Many German cities today still have a small section to show the damage. When the war was over most of Germany was homeless and had lost family in the war. It was a very bad time in Germany, but not many felt sorry for them since they started the war and did the awful things to people.
The Cold War led to the division of Berlin into East and West; it led to the Berlin Blockade and Airlift of 1948-49 and later to the construction of the Wall. This last resulted in West Berliners being completely cut off from the surrounding countryside. The Cold War also meant for several decades only East Berlin was a capital city, as the capital of West Germany was Bonn. During the Cold War Berlin became a kind of frontline city.
There were two Germanys during the Cold War, with opposing roles. East Germany had been conquered by the USSR in World War 2 and its government was Communist. West Germany, captured by the Western Allies, had a democratic government. Where the two Germanys met was where east and west collided, and if the Cold War had turned hot this is the line that would have been crossed. Unlike East Germany, West Germany was prosperous and the standard of living was much better, and many East Germans escaped or attempted to escape to West Germany. Also, the Western powers of the US, France, and Great Britain occupied West Berlin which was located entirely inside East Germany. Stalin closed the roads to Berlin during the post-WW2 years in an attempt to force the Western powers out, resulting in the Berlin Airlift. In the 1960's Kruschev built the Berlin Wall to discourage escapes to the West. Both sides tried to show the world that their Germany was better, but most West Germans did not want to go to the East, while many East Germans wanted to go to the West.
