East Germany was taken over by the communist country of the Soviet Union. The people of Germany soon learned how awful communism was once they were occupied by the Soviets.
They were told where they would live, where they would work and they could not leave the country. Basic travel within the country was restricted. Most were not paid enough to purchase a car. Many Germans who had relatives in the free West Germany could not see their relatives. Their mail was read and sometimes never delivered. Their was spying done on the people and files kept on them.
They could not get the products the West German people could get. They lived in a controlled environment in fear. Their entire country had a wall built around it so they could not escape and others could not get in.

No. Germany was reunited in 1990.

People in DDR always had job, while in BRD unemployment prospered in large scale.
