day you need to be reminded of what an incredible event it was as east germans who for so long just. accepted the reality of the berlin wall suddenly decided that the moment had come they could sort of challenge the border guards and stormed the wall and the rest is history as they say and these are some of the pictures of that peaceful demonstration peaceful revolution we could call it that is remarkable for that reason as well. so when those bloody scenes the soviet tanks in the barracks and so on there were moments of nervousness absolutely and it wasn't at all clear and indeed it wasn't clear for a long time when the results of that process of the fall of the wall would be would result. reunification not everybody see that in the d.v.d. we're asking about how people feel about it today i mean even today you'll see the polls show more east germans. unhappy about reunification and they have got a nostalgia for the g.d.p. than is true in the west so that is a is a different perception that still divides divides people of course when you when you prompt them to give an answer like that that's what they'll say but thes
