Sure here are a few not so fun facts:

  • At least 140 people where shot at the berlin wall by GDR troops for the crime of trying to flee the country.
  • The GDR was executing prisoners by guillotine and firing squad, at least 52 where killed for political reasons.
  • When people protested against the SED in June 1953 the protest was brutally beaten down using soviet tanks. At least 50 people lost their lifes and over 1500 people received long prison sentences. The whole protest was later declared to be an attempted 'fascist coup'.
