Episode 2x03 - East Germany

A great big welcome back to our returning Simon Peterson.In Season 1, we talked to a Simon from a timeline where after World War II, West Germany was annexed by France, & East Germany was annexed by Poland. After listening to the wild ride of a timeline where the Western region of Germany was annexed by & somewhat assimilated into France, we couldn't schedule a time to talk about his Germany's Eastern half. Of course, it didn't help that he had been an emergency fill in after our first fiasco trying to talk to an independent Quebec.Well today, he's back. That's right folks, we have a returning guest who has come to tell us the other half of a story where Germany was annexed by its neighbors. So enjoy this International Worker's Day, & tune in to hear the story of an East Germany that was annexed into communist controlled Poland. Was life easier or harder for the German people than it was in Eastern France? Were their revolutions? Was a wall built between the former Germanies? Will our returning guest finally get an answer he can understand as to whether or not West & East Germany were actually fully sovereign countries? Tune in to find out. Hosted on Acast.
