The Iron Dice | Bonus Episode #2: The Post-Merkel World
🕑 Added 2021-04-16 10:20:15 +0000 UTCHey gang,
Sending the new bonus episode your way! It's an election special where I talk about Merkel's departure and Germany's political landscape in more detail than I usually do. We have a federal election coming up, so there is a lot to talk about.
Why are the German Social Democrats so awful? Why is East Germany so much more right-wing, and why do people keep voting conservative? All questions I talk about in this episode. I plan to do more political shows but mainly as bonus episodes and let the "main" show be history stuff. Let me know your thoughts on that. Reminder that you can listen to the bonus feed on most podcast apps if you add the custom RSS URL https://www.patreon.com/rss/DanArrows?auth=bYT6-RxwxjpQC52tp2yzft37u8H3crZP
All right everyone enjoy :)
Best,
Dan

Can SPD do something other then betraying?

A good "back-leaning" intro is also The Perfect Crime (Rohwedder: Einigkeit und Mord und Freiheit) on Netflix. As it covers the assassination of Rohwedder, the head of Treuhandanstalt. It covers a lot of the underhanded "fire sale" of the DDR assets to BRD companies.
Good source for the landgrab "fire sale" that went on during the early years of reunification: "Die Treuhändler" by Michael Jürgs Also the german cabaret show "Die Anstalt" dedicated a whole episode to the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjr3dfozk-E
