berlin. in other words, to get from west germany to the noncontiguous territory that it controlled of west berlin you either had to fly or basically take a sealed train. it was extremely complicated and extremely arduous, logistically speaking, but on at least getting from east berlin to west berlin was actually not that hard. which is how east berlin and east germany more generally experienced tremendous brain drain, especially younger generations of talented people who felt like they were seeing their lives begin to rot and waste away behind the emerging iron curtain. so there's torrential outward migration was stemmed beginning in august of 1961 when nikita khrushchev, head of the soviet union, after stalin's death, and his east german counterpart and you see here on the right hand side of upper portion of this slide vault, it well believed, worked together to start building the berlin wall. and this was maybe the most direct image flying in the face of the idea that the communists were pursuing and successfully building secular eschaton, a global advertisement for how the ussr and its satelli

early 1955 i received a new assignment berlin the epicenter of the cold war, located inside the gdr west berlin in close proximity to a large contingent of soviet troops, but the most unique thing was that in berlin there was no clearly defined border between eastern and west germany could easily get from west berlin east and vice versa. all this made berlin an ideal place for intelligence activities. all the intelligence services of the world operated here, and especially the american english and soviet it was a real spy tangle soon after my appointment in berlin i learned a new top secret joint operation of the cia the tunnel will have to be entered from here, total 550 m, it turns out a little further than we would like, but there is no place closer. i propose break for lunch, i wouldn't mind a bite to eat. no, mr. lan's wife is located that i began to gain weight. so i 'll stay here and retype the protocol very sensibly. wasting no time, i decided to inform my new star about this operation and give him a tape with the minutes of the meeting, sketches and planamino near tourist attractions.

found in argentina, however, in a few months , a skeleton with a loose ampullotsionide was found in west berlin after five months after careful research, experts say that borman, in 30 years, the final point in this story will be put to the dna examination, which will confirm that the body of the suicide found during the construction of the road belongs to no one else like the gray cardinal of the third reich, martin bormann, whose life ended not in moscow in britain or the jungles of argentina, but in the wake of hitler in the ruined ferment of the 45th, but the nuremberg tribunal is only the tip of the iceberg, it had to be something unprecedented, because in germany after the defeat of hitler there were more than 8 .5 million members of the national socialist party and even more than 45 million germans gave themselves to the members of various nazi organizations, such as hitler, jungin, how to punish and eradicate nazism in such conditions after imprisoning half of the country, education, exhumation, this is not true, you just brought these corpses here, there were no forced vaccinations aga

and i mean, i sometimes thought it was not unlike west berlin in the 1950s and sixties, like this little island of a kind of sovereignty that belongs to another country far away. it's it's weird. washington is surrounded by virginia and maryland and neither place likes lincoln or. the cause of the union very much so he's just got to get to washington and the fact that virginia does not leave the in those early months is is really important. it does course later secede but so he just was too unpopular you are correct about the the tiny but significant vote in virginia and then also i think if you want to call missouri a southern state, there are some in saint louis that vote for him in 18. not not very many, but i think some german-americans voted for him in saint louis. but the study of the vote, it was in the south for lincoln is really fascinating. so was there a second part that i didn't answer? i just said that there's one county in virginia, right? i think it's hancock county and they have 3000. right? right. thank you. so i think we had someone back there first. yep. and then we'll

the soviet empire in west berlin in 87, he exhorted, gorbachev to tear down this wall. the rest is history. by christmas, 1991, the soviet empire was no more. with god's help, ronald reagan and pope john paul two shared a friendship and, a mission that were pivotal to the defeat, an empire that was as evil in concept as it was an execution. thank you. thank you, nina. and i will point out that at our on our website, providence magazine, mccord were posting a series articles on the evil empire speech. one from elizabeth elizabeth's body will appear tomorrow. we welcome paul can go our way from joe mccarthy. hopefully we can post your remarks today, nina. so you should look for that look from my own article, world magazine was posted. it's also very good. of course. elliot abrams asked that rather than to bring prepared remarks that i just asked some simple questions. if you're still amenable to that, i'll question that. you can take whatever you prefer, but obviously you knew and worked with president reagan. to what extent this speech reflect his personality, his person

to answer for what the nazis had done had only one dream, to allies advancing from the west managed to take berlinefore the soviet troops, my division, which received hitler's order to break through the ring of russian troops around berlin and release people from berlin back, and there were already americans behind the elbe. even a few years ago. the nazis despised the americans and published russian cartoons in the american army. every tenth soldier nigga, and now the highest ranks of nazi germany at any cost sought to the west to the americans. wündorf , just 40 km from berlin, was the headquarters of the high command of the wehrmacht's sound butt forces during the war. it was one of the state secrets. reich, the location and layout of the maybach-1 and maybach 2 bunker complexes were supposed to be known only to a select maybach one consisted of 23 buildings with bunkers, we can see them in these photographs. and on this aerial photograph we see the maybach 2 point. it consisted of twelve. these buildings have three floors above ground , so the size of the buildings is 15 m high and 9 m deep. r

in moscow, the use of a drone provoked a demonstrative reaction in the west and in berlin, the authoritiest they considered kiev’s actions to be legal, used the usual phrase that a vision was being prepared about what happened, while the white house noted the position of the united states has not changed such strikes have not supported. this is brought to kiev by a public privately called these words a lie, drawing attention to real deeds, namely, deliveries more and more powerful and long-range weapons to ukraine will continue the theme. british foreign secretary james quiverley approves of kiev's attacks on russian territory by getting closer to the russian state border to estonia and picking up a machine gun of a worthless diplomat. he supported terrorist activities. kiev, it is important to remember that ukraine has a legitimate right to self-defense. it has the legal right to do so within its borders, but it also has the right to use force beyond its borders to undermine russia's ability to wage war. thus, legitimate military targets in non-ukraine are part of its self-defense . brita
