Во времена моего детства, когда я был пионером, я переписывался с девочкой из ГДР. У нашего города был город-побратим Гера. Это были хорошие времена, середина 80-х. Однажды, на День моего рождения, родители подарили мне игрушечную немецкую железную дорогу "PIKO". Потом мне докупали другие наборы этой же фирмы. И были такие же наборы у моих друзей. Мы собирали их вместе, и у нас получалась уже довольно внушительная железнодорожная сеть. Это было классно! По субботам у нас по телевизору показывали немецкую спортивную программу "Делай с нами, делай, как мы, делай лучше нас!" Там был ведущий, которого, кажется, звали Ади. Часто в городе можно было встретить грузовики "IFA", а маленькие грузовички "Multicar" убирали в парках и поливали цветы на клумбах. Вот такие воспоминания! :-))))

You have closed all our media at home, you have no more opposition, you do not allow dissent, you have built a new "iron curtain", you have even more NATO troops, even more weapons at our very borders. After all, you are now declaring to Europe that "maybe Hitler is not so bad," and you have people in SS uniforms marching through the streets from time to time. Oh, so you've been waiting for this, when you can walk around in a Nazi uniform? Are you saying you don't want to be shot at when you cross the border? What nonsense! If you now rush, let's say, through the forest from Poland towards Belarus, the Polish border guard will not shoot you? Yes, he will shoot you right away! Just follow through the checkpoint, that's all. And it used to be like that. Okay, I'm tired of reading nonsense about how terrible the USSR is. Wake up! The USSR has been gone for more than 30 years. And no one threatens you. Just as you were slaves, so you remained. It doesn't matter with whom - with Napoleon, Hitler or Biden. You will serve them all. Biden blew up the "Northern Streams", everyone knows this, but the Germans just got lost and continued to lick the ass of the Americans. That's all your "freedom"!

IFA Warburg is satire? Weren’t they allowed to play in the GDR and USSR? It’s kind of confusing because Wikipedia says they were founded in the 1990s but I think it says they had songs from the 1980s or something. Also, some channel called “IFA Wartburg” which seems to be the official channel appears to genuinely be socialist, as it talks about the destruction and “annexation” of the GDR and stuff, but it could equally just be MORE satire. I don’t know, I’m not exactly an expert on the band but like, it seems confusing.

This is definitely up there with the most upbeat propaganda Songs I've ever heard, and also one of the most upbeat DDR Songs I've ever heard. Edit: Okay okay I get it, it's not Propaganda. I can see that now.

[@awesomebearaudiobooks]

This is a song sung by an independent Swedish band. I can imagine it being made in DDR, but their songs were usually a bit less ''punky'', for the lack of a better word. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I 'm just voicing my thoughts.

@@kajmak64bit76 No shit, but poor countries like Ukraine still use them as their main battle tanks. Though they somehow "modernize" them. The armies of Donbass Republics got unlucky to inherit them aswell, from Ukraine, though I think that T-80s aren't as rare there aswell. But to be honest BMP-2 is more preferable there, since they are much more better for Urban combat, and since tank battles there aren't as usual.
