My ex-wife managed to leave East Germany before the Wall went up in 1961 but her entire family were locked in there until the wall came down in 1989. I visited Leipzig a number of times and can confirm the atmosphere of fear/mistrust which pervaded everything. We were warned that the lady downstairs was an informer of the Stasi and that there were such "spitzls" everywhere. I was interviewed by Stasi people from Berlin in the "interests of German-British relations" but they basically wanted me to get information about the American company I worked for and its products (computers etc.). I remember cases of children sent up to check on the T.V. antennas in the attics and roofs, to ensure that none were pointed to the West. Finally, we had no problems, nor did my wife's family but it was always a huge relief to cross the border back again. The bare necessities were available for their people but the scarcity of virtually everything in the shops is something I will always remember. Basically, an utterly failed and heinous example of society and we should never forget how a regime can gain control of everything and thwart any idea of democracy. The film "Other Peoples Lives" is a great portrayal of how it all worked, although the sub-titling in English is somewhat lacking. (P.S. I'm still wondering if there is a Stasi file on me/us!)
