The Big Schabowski

Something really nasty happened today. My comrade Günter Schabowski made an error at a press conference which gave West Germans the possibility to cross the border to us here in the East. But this was just a joke that we used to laugh around about. So, now we have to deal with all these Mercedes cars and Coca Cola drinkers in our city. We have informed the border guards abut it.

This is how Schabowski is. A very nice fellow, a bit crazy sometimes. There is nothing sinister about him at all. But his mouth just seems to slip a bit sometimes, he can shout things out aloud at press conferences and regret it one second later.

Well, I still love our “Günther, The Destroyer of Walls” as we call him from now on. He will always be my best friend.

You can see the film about the event here.

An album about our Wall

Today, I have got a secret telegram that tells the story about a western band called Pink Floyd and they just released a popular record about The Wall.

That is a very good sign from what I can understand, because the western countries are usually talking in negative terms about our Wall, but now they admit how good our Wall is.

A Wall makes things so much better and people easier to handle. There is one hell of a power in a Wall.

Mauer Power!

I have not heard their music yet but I hope it´s good. Thank you, Pink Floyd for your wall-friendly music!

The anti-fascistic wall is here!

East Berlin has always been a nice place except for the constant interference from West Berlin. The open border is often used for espionage, sabotage, currency speculation, smuggling of goods on a large scale and to attract skilled labor to West Berlin.

Today, DDR decided to solve this problem by building a little wall along our border to West Berlin. This is the only way to secure peace in the world.

The Wall will help us in East Berlin to protect ourself from militarism and imperialism. We turn away from the cold war and face international understanding instead.

Now, we will be the city of peace and international friendship!

This fact was made very clear when Walther Ulbricht gave East Berlin the medal “City of Peace” and we all became very happy.

Yes, except the USA of course.
