Really I would have liked to repeat the item that I wrote on Helium.com called "Eastern Germany 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall", which looks at one aspect of the post Cold War East, this time looking particularly at Eastern Germany and the impact of the fall of the Wall.
As Helium has the copyright for my article, however, I will merely place the link here (you have to copy it into your browser - believe me it is worth the effort!). It will also give the reader the chance to see my other Helium stuff (and that of a load of other, often excellent, writers):
http://www.helium.com/items/1963263-eastern-germany-20-years-after-fall-berlin-wall
I will happily dedicate the article in particular to two people with whom I worked in Munich in the mid-90s - Jörg (from Magdeburg) and Gundula (from Chemnitz). I hope that life is still being good to them.
Postscript (December 3rd, 2021): Since I wrote this item, Helium has gone out of business, so I am afraid the article no longer exists. I have my own personal copy of the article if anyone is interested.
