The Greatest Mauerfall Ever Fell

The story of the fall of the Berlin Wall, except instead of people dancing on the wall and taking chunks of it as souvenirs and rushing across the border, the populations of both East and West Berlin line up in a calm, orderly fashion and slap one another low fives, muttering, "good game, good game" in German.

I used to always wonder what my special interests were and looking for a specific definition, but tbh it's my autism my rules and if you can't mention anything history related without me going on an absolute tangent then I think it's safe to say that's a special interest no???

Berlin has held celebrations to mark the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The barrier put up by communist East Germany in 1961 stood for 28 years as an emblem of oppression. Thousands gathered in the centre of the German capital to remember the popular uprising which brought down the wall on November 9th, 1989, and ended the regime that built it. At the centre of the celebrations is the Brandenburg Gate, once a symbol of division. Now long since reunited, Germany is facing a difficult political and economic outlook.
