Maj.Hans Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 On October 3rd, 1990, after 40 years of separation and tension, east and west Germany reunited. Since Steel Beasts has had so much focus on that 40 year time frame since the earliest days, it seems only fitting to be mentioned here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is that the true end of the Second World War, with the occupation ending? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisWerb Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) One of the big regrets in my life is that I didn't just quit my job (which I subsequently did), jump in my car and drive across Europe to be there when the wall came down. Just having been there at such a momentous time in history would have been worth a little hardship. There's a site by a Dutch(?) chap who drove around many Soviet and NVA airfields in Eastern Europe immediately after the wall came down and took what were, at the time, amazing photos.

Marko Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Not taking anything away from the momentous moment. the wall came down I stayed up all night watching it happen. But they were still selling bits of the berlin wall ten years later, (If you were a cynical type of guy). You mite strongly suspect some of which came from a building site in stuttgart.

Homer Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 My brother brought me a little piece of the wall after he went there for his job. Aside from the graffiti paint, it's wholly unremarkable and worth about 10 secs as a conversational piece. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red2112 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Worked with a top musical promotor in my area. On a promotion trip to Germany Pink Floyed was giving pieces of the wall to known promotores along with a Lego type wall with there name on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
