A minefield between communism and freedom

The FRG in the middle of Europe has been experiencing peace, prosperity and freedom of thought for many years. What one cannot say about the other part of Germany, the GDR. She is not directly at war, but the country is equipped for its size and mentally attuned to war, worse than a great power. The social condition of the population is even more deplorable. There is a lack of everything people need, and those who want to change something peacefully, or want to leave the country in desperation, are either inhumanly imprisoned, tortured and tormented, or killed, tattered or seriously injured by self-firing systems, minefields and volleys from submachine guns mutilated.
