1961August 13, the former East Germany (GDR) set up an "anti-fascist defense wall" to isolate East and West Berlin. Since then, the two Berlin inside and outside Brandenburg Gate have become two worlds. The task of this wall is defense, but its function is to prevent East Germans from escaping.
East Germany set up the most powerful intelligence agency "Stacy" in the world, and established secret files for more than 6 million people in East Germany 1 80,000 population, of which1person must be monitored. In the 1980s, when "informer politics" prevailed, informers became the daily life of East German residents. The Stasi was founded on February 8, 1950 in/kloc-0, with the official name of "German Democratic National Security Department". During the Cold War, East Germany and West Germany belonged to two camps. Stasi is an East German spy agency established with the support of the Soviet Union. Its main task is to monitor and suppress the domestic opposition, and carry out various espionage activities abroad, especially against West Germany. Stacy's first minister was Zaisser. With his efforts, Stacy became the second largest spy agency in the Eastern European Group, second only to the Soviet KGB. Because of its powerful spy technology, Stacy has always been a big exporter of spy technology of Dongfang Group. At the end of 1950, Stacy's Technical Action Office delivered a large number of telephone monitoring and indoor monitoring equipment to North Vietnam. With the escalation of the Vietnam War, the cooperation between the two sides has become closer. East Germany provided North Vietnam with a lot of cutting-edge technology to fight against "American imperialism". North Vietnam is very interested in poison analysis technology, steganography technology and dog training technology in East Germany, and Stacy is very generous in these aspects. In addition, East Germany is also a big country exporting spy equipment to Cuba, including miniature cameras, telescopes, periscopes and infrared communication equipment.
The economic situation in West Germany is obviously much better than that in East Germany. The Americans quickly handed over the management of West Germany to the Germans. 1947, the United States implemented the Marshall Plan and injected a lot of money into West Germany. With the adoption of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany in June 1949, West Germany established a system of "social market economy" and "welfare state" which not only exerted the vitality of market competition, but also paid attention to social equality and welfare security. 1950, the industry of the Federal Republic of Germany exceeded the pre-war level. From 1950 to 1965, the Federal Republic of Germany invested a total of $228 1 100 million, which contributed to the rapid economic growth, and the 15 "Rhine miracle" began. 1950- 1965, the total import and export volume of west Germany increased by 13.3% and 15.8% respectively, and the trade volume of 1965 was eight times that of 1950. In the 1960s, the gross national product of West Germany surpassed that of Britain and France. In the 1980s, as early as 197 1, the foreign exchange reserves of West Germany reached 18657 billion US dollars, surpassing the United States and becoming the first in the world.
What is more important than the speed of economic growth is the actual life of the people. After the war, the East and the West once implemented the rationing system to cope with the difficulties, but in 1950, the West Germany cancelled the rationing system, and soon supermarkets were all over the streets, with a prosperous market and strong consumption. East Germany did not cancel rationing until 1958, but the lack and singleness of goods remained. In life, housing, employment, medical care and other aspects, the west is strong and the east is weak. For this reason, East Germany put forward the slogan of "produce well first, then live well", which makes people full of hope for the ethereal future, but West Germany does not need this slogan. The obvious "living well" has strongly proved that its production is by no means bad.
