On November 9, 1989 Germans celebrated the most significant life-changing event of the late twentieth century: the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Wall had isolated (capitalist) West Berlin in the midst of (communist) East Germany for a generation. Along with the separate and much longer Inner German border (IGB) that demarcated the border between East and West Germany, both borders came to symbolize the "Iron Curtain" - separating capitalist Western Europe and the communist Eastern Bloc throughout the Cold War. Like Berlin, the entire German nation had been divided into two countries at the end of World War II. In the East, the Russians had established the (communist) 'German Democratic Republic' or DDR; while West Germany had become the (capitalist) 'Federal Republic of Germany' (BDR), supported by the Western Allies (US, UK and France). This separation into two states had caused tremendous sadness as it tore German communities and families apart for decades. Movement between the two German states was rendered almost impossible due to communist restrictions on transit documents: those crossing to the west illegally were routinely shot by East German border guards. The origins of change began in the late 1980s, when the Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev softened the Russian position on maintaining a divided Germany as part of his new policy of 'openness' (Glasnost) in the Soviet Bloc. While communist hard-liners like the East German leader Erich Honecker were still predicting in early 1989 the Wall would stand for another 50-100 years, Mr Gorbachev was feted as a hero by millions of Germans, who crowded the streets for a glimpse of the Russian Premier on his visits to the West. Events moved quickly in 1989, with several other Eastern Bloc countries opening their borders to the west. In particular, East Germans began flooding into Hungary (who had opened her border with Austria in August), in their attempts to flee to West Germany by any possible route. While some 13,000 managed to escape through Hungary, and more though Czechoslovakia, Honecker quickly clamped down on travel to to these states and tried to force the thousands of East Germans stranded in Budapest and Prague, to return to the DDR. This triggered massive protests in East Germany throughout September and October, with crowds chanting "Wir wollen raus!" ("We want out!"). Honecker resigned on 18 October, but mass emigrations to neighboring states - and the anti government demonstrations - continued to swell. The protest movement peaked on 4 November when half a million people gathered at the Alexanderplatz demonstration. As the numbers of East Germans heading west by various circuitous routes continued to swell, the new government of Egon Krenz, finally bowed to the inevitable on November 9 1989, announcing the removal of most travel restrictions to West Germany, and allowing exit directly through East German crossing points, including Berlin. While the new regulations were intended to commence the following day, no-one had told Günter Schabowski, the Communist Party boss in East Berlin. Schabowski was caught off-guard and was screened on the evening news announcing that the new border regulations were "effective immediately". Crowds of East Germans immediately flocked to the main border crossings in Berlin, leaving overwhelmed guards stunned as to what to do about them. Communications from Party Headquarters were of little help as amazingly, no-one had expected the sudden surge of emigres and sight-seers demanding instant entrance to the West "as Schabowski said we could". However, as the evening wore on, one thing became increasingly clear: given the confusion, and the fact that the Party chief had been seen on TV proclaiming that the borders were now open, no-one was prepared to take responsibility for issuing orders to use lethal force. Finally, at 10:45 pm, the guards yielded, opening the checkpoints with little or no document checking. As the Easterners swarmed through, they were greeted by West Germans waiting with flowers, champagne amid wild rejoicing. Jubilant young Germans from both sides of the border scrambled on top of the wall, where they danced together in celebration of their new freedom. In a symbolic gesture of reunification, Germans began smashing down the wall with sledge-hammers and pick-axes. The wave of euphoria that commenced on November 9, 1989 would ultimately lead - just 11 months later - to the official reunification of Germany on October 3, 1990.

The German labor force is broken up into these three major categories: services (63.8%), industry (33.4%), agriculture (2.8%) (as of 2006)

The three main categories for services are as follows: financial, renting, and business activities (30.5%); trade, hotels and restaurants, and transport (18%); and other service activities (21.7%).

The main industries are iron, steel, coal, cement, chemicals, machinery, vehicles, machine tools, electronics, food and beverages, shipbuilding, textiles

There are so many different types of goods or services that Germany produces. Some of common ones include vehicles, management services, banking, consultancy, beers, wines, electronics and so much more.

Well for starters, they celebrate Easter as families get together and have a huge Easter feast. Afterwards, the kids find Easter eggs and they all go out for a walk. This is celebrated in March, the same as in the US. They call it Ostern.

They also celebrate Oktoberfest, which is a festival in the fall where they celebrate and stuff because of a prince's wedding many, many years ago. They change dates, but it's usually a 6 week period In Sept-Nov.

They also celebrate St. Nikolaus Day [St. Nicholas Day in English], which is to honor a bishop who died in 343 A.D. Saint Nikolaus offered a kind act to three women who couldn't afford dowries by placing three bundles of cash in their beds, which was enough to prevent them from going into prostitution and thus was able to get married. Saint Nikolaus Day is celebrated every December 6th. This is known as Nikolaustag.

Then there's Christmas, or otherwise known as Weihnachten. It's official date is December 25th to 26th, but it starts on December 24th, during Holy Evening. During Holy Evening, families usually gather around for a Christmas dinner, then go to church services later on. "Santa Claus", or "Weihnachtsmann", also appears that night to bring good children Christmas presents. On December 25th and 26th, people visit friends and other relatives they haven't seen on December 24th.

For a while, there were a pretty good amount of Jews in Germany. But after the Holocaust, which was meant to wipe them out, many, if not most, of them were killed. Since then, not many have been very eager to return to their home country.

____

Since the end of the Cold War there has been a significant influx of Jews from the countries of the former Soviet Union. One often ecounters a figure of about 108,000 religious Jews and an overall total of about 210,000 ethnic and relgious Jews combined.

No. In its heyday Prussia extended from the French border (for example, near Saarbrücken) to the Russian border (near Tilsit). It was the biggest and most powerful North German state. In 1934 the Nazi regime abolished the German states, and after the war Prussia was not revived. On the contrary, as Prussia was widely associated with militarism, in 1947 the Allies declared it dissolved.

It depends where in Germany at which season of the year and if you mean day or night. The temperature can be between -15 and +30 degrees Celsius.

In Frankfurt it's around 2 degrees Celsius (35.6 degrees Fahrenheit). In Berlin it's around 1 degree Celsius (33.8 degrees Fahrenheit).
Different places have different climates.

There's a hell of a lot of debate on this so I don't want to provide an answer of yes or no.

Basically at Munich there were two options, the one taken, and the one advanced by Churchill and a few other critics such as parts of the Labour Party, possibly Austen Chamberlain, Vansittart, Cooper, etc. The option these Churchill would have prefered was to go to war over Czechoslovakia.

His reasoning is military-strategic. Russia and France were on side. Czechoslovakia had 36 divisions and 1500 aircraft that would later be lost. Russia was producing over 10,000 aircraft a year, far over what Germany was, and Romania might be persuaded to offer an air corridor. Over the next year the French didn't really improve defences, Czechoslovakia was lost to the Germans on the 15th of March, Russia and Germany became temporary allies as Litvinov was replaced by Molotov as the foreign minister, and Germany increased her army's size from 81 to 130 divisions.

On the other hand Britain vastly improved its aircraft production in this time from 240 to 660 aircraft a month, matching Germany by the time of war (although not over the full course of 1939). Public opinion was not ready, and this might lead to events such as the Red Clydeside events of the First World War where workers on the Clyde in Scotland had strikes against conscription. America also needed to be convinced to get out of neutrality if Britain was to succeed in the war. The 1936 extension of the Neutralities Act prevented it from selling arms - Britain would be defeated without them. Events in 1939 certainly played a role in convincing the US, although to some extent it was coming out of isolation after 1937 with the Japanese re-invasion of the Chinese mainland.

Hope that helps.

Hitler changed Germany by controlling it. Hiltler was an idol to Germany and Germany just sat there and respected him. I think that the People of Germany knew that somthing like HItler was coming and ther should have fought back. I know that he about 10 million people, but he couldn't have killed everyone in the world. Sombody should have fought back.

hi Reccords go back to 1966 and model before that date can only be guessed at Your rifle is probably made just after the war when Anschutz moved to ULM it can be dated by the fittings, ie front strap holder mounted on the under side of the barrel and not the wooden stock, would be pre model 1415 model

i have an earlier one with the strap mount under the barrel and just a simple point sight at the end of the barrel, serial 228*** probably 1946-48
