The end of the Berlin Wall

I struggle to accept it's been 25 years since the Wall came down.

Strange days back then.

Sadly it looks like we're heading back towards them, seeing as Russia is flexing muscles.

Interesting, but in all likelihood a façade...ever see "Lord Of War"??....that's based on fact...and a good movie.

I was with two German suppliers yesterday in South Eastern Germany, They were talking about the day it cam down. Really interesting.

It was no fun the other side, I got to know one of the German Engineers in my previous job, his family were split by the wall, one of the relatives made a bid for freedom and failed, but it impacted on the whole family, jobs and education disappeared for them and they had it tough. He lost a a university placement and it changed the course of his life, it's rights itself now but the legacy is still there pretty close to the surface.

Serves them right for losing the war.
