This was Krupp's name until it was decided enough time since the Nazi era ("hart wie Kruppstahl") had passed. |

is the destination sign visible. The scenery looks very much like some eviction from 1945-1948 of the Germans out of Silesia or the Sudetenland. It's not from the big flight in early 1945 from Ostpreußen and Danzig - because this happened in deep snow and freezing temperatures |

Not unrespect or put the 4996th, please. Hopefully, not ch*n*s* brand for the 5000 (?)... por el bien de la humanidad. |

Not more visible than what you see in the pic. This footage is shown among the lines of... 'The German people overstep their own boundaries. The movements are cautious. They always are. Experienced border crossers avoid it with ease. Those caught face the Soviet Commandantura. No real faith in the new borders. They'll never really believe in them' |

as said in the first thumbnail "Helmstedt", it really can be "Checkpoint Alpha" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmstedt–Marienborn_border_crossing - but in the late 40ies. A time ago I bought a (quite expensive) original postcard from that location from around 1951 - and there were more infrastructure and buildings. They are right with "the movements are cautious" - you always have had a strange unique feeling, when you crossed the inner-German border, until the last day of its existence. I even have a slight leftover of this feeling, when I pass that location nowadays, 30 years later. This feeling is hard to explain, it was an unique mixture of tension, fear, anticipation and malice - and I loved it I hoped, I could feel it again, when I traveled to Northkorea, but it didn't happen - the DDR was more bizarre So sad, that these times are gone... -- Last edit: 2019-12-20 22:55:02 |
