1989 East German Military Parade | 40 Jahre DDR 

@@MaximusandHistory thank you for buying this dont listen to that guy. i cant afford to support you but thank you anyways. its interesting to watch

@@MaximusandHistory Is there a video of the whole process of the parade for the 750th anniversary of the founding of Berlin?

@@onjon7043 There is, but some channel already uploaded it!

What was the exact date of this event, and the exact date, if one exists, of the collapse of East Germany?

@@donreed The parade was held on October 7, 1989. One month later, on November 9, the Berlin Wall fell and the SED stepped down by the end of that year. Almost a year later (4 days short), on October 3, 1990, East and West Germany reunited as a single country.

Thank you for the kind comment! What years did you serve?

Good for the soldiers that served. But they didn’t know what government they served.

:):) the moment war started, 95% of GDR soldiers and officers would immediately switch sides to West Germany/US the moment war started;)

@letecmig Если честно то что сделал советский союз для Германии это даже не подзатыльник а лёгкий пинок.Если бы вместо СССР была бы например Испанская империя,Британская империя,Римская империя или Древний Египет вряд-ли бы Германия осталась - индейцы америки,доколониальные африканцы,евреи или крафагеняни это почувствовали хотя сделали миниум тех зверств которые совершила Германия,и потеряли практически все.Германия по итогу сохранилась потеряв лишь часть территорий.

​@@letecmigУверены в этом?)

Эко тебя как торкнуло!

I remember one time at one of the parade rehearsals, my old man chatted up a couple of you guys. I think they might have been liaison people, not sure though. In uniform and had binos. I remember distinctly how weirded out I was that the enemy was allowed to spy on all the military hardware and how they were normal people that you could talk to (not evil aggressors). They were very polite, but distant. Like professional, not too keen on fraternizing. I kind of miss the parades, a couple dozen MBTs crawling through a dense urban area is an awesome experience.

Well, we should praise the politicians that they finally restrained from the war. Unlike current times...

Thank you for sharing this. It really gives younger generations a dose of reality.

Some of the ordinary folk are defending his country today

Da war die DDR mit den Warschauer Pakt noch eine Macht. Was ist jetzt aus den DDR Bürgern geworden,???

Correct.

Actually, the Soviet marching traditions are classic Russian drill from the empire period. Man y Eurpoean/Russian parade dirll is from the Prussian School of Ferderick the Great (1740's) What we call the goose step isn't uniquely German, but was practised in special parade performances for visiting dignitaries and monarchs well before this present era. Even the Chinese and N. Koreans have thier version of Prussin Drill, and probably do it best. Their training is brutal - literally. The US is the only major power that does not goose step, although the Marines do have a kind of high step they use when on the parade deck. Mostly, it's a very precise heel-toe stiff backed cadence step. No bobbing heads, no slumped shoulders, no swinging arms, no bored facial expressions, sleeves rolled tight, lots of well developed biceps. The US Marines are by far the best at marching discipline from company to company across the entire Corps. They ALL look as good as these German troops, without being special parade detachments.

You should check my out my other video. Its about the Vietnamese visiting the DDR!

@@MaximusandHistory Thank you for your recommendation. I know Vietnamese life in Gemany because my uncle lives there now.

Then the BND infiltrated small Neo Nazi groups which started to do assaults on refugee camps in the East blaming "racist" Eastern Germans for being reactionary

Simson was in Hungsry too. Wartburg auto.

To this day, the descendants of the Vietnamese Guest Workers/Contract Workers (GDR nomenclature) are among the most liked (if not THE most liked) non-germans in the east. Unlike Turks, Arabs and the like your people have shown time and time again productivity, adherence to the law and willingness to integrate. Literally the only foreign populace where the now 30ish year old speak accent free german and more often than not are named "Daniel" and "Maximilian" (the only "Friedrich" under 40 I have ever met was a son of a Vietnamese family btw). I personally have not met ONE descendant of a Vietnamese family that was unemployed. Case in point: my somewhat racist father-in-law has nothing but good to say about the Vietnamese. "Polite and hard working people they are", in his words.

Wow, thank you for sharing your personal memory of this event! It's so surreal that I am getting comments from people who were at such events!

Ich habe von 1987 bis 1991 in der DDR-Stadt Magdeburg gedient, T-80-Tanker! Die NVA war eine starke Armee, sie waren die qualifiziertesten Verbündeten, die an gemeinsamen Übungen teilnahmen!

Und was hat eine Armee damit zu tun? Die Sicherheit im Innern ist ja die Sache der Polizei und nicht der Armee. Oder geht die Bundeswehr auf Streife und jagt Kriminelle Ausländer?

The 90 degree turn is called the "Schwenk", its a Prussian tradition!

@@MaximusandHistory as someone who has done drill, that turn is as sweet as a nut. It made my eyes fall out in amazement. The practice to do that must have been absolutely monotonous. Every day square bashing. To get it right. But I can't see the turn coming. No shouted instructions or change in music. Just a sweet change of direction. I am truly in awe.

@@stevenmajor9513 The drum corps performs 3 drum beats to signal to all the musicians to start goose stepping. After that, its all timing and then they execute the turn! Its truly an impressive drill maneuver, only found in Prussian military tradition

@@redlevantinist8947 Believe it or not the Bundeswehr has done the Scwhenk before but it is very rarely ever used and it looks rather lame because they don't goose step.

That's very fascinating to hear your anecdote! I am surprised West Germans watched these events live on TV! Did you always watch these parades every year? Or were you curious to see what was going on the other side of town? It definitely seems ironic that they were talking about world peace while parading tanks and missile systems on the streets of Karl Marx Allee. However it seems that was the ordinary thing back in the day. The Bundeswehr also had military parades with tanks and missile systems but they were not a frequent sight compared to the GDR.

@@MaximusandHistory No I didn't watch the parade regularly. It was actually a very special day. The 40th anniversary of the GDR. The change was already in the air, and everyone was curious what Gorbachev is going to say. Actually, I watched the East German TV sometimes. Coming from West Germany, I moved to Berlin to study in 1987. Before I had no contact to East Germany, and it was very fascinating for me. A German country but totally different. They reported about the same events, but with different conclusions and from a totally different political perspective. And actually, I found the parade quite frightening. So massive. Compare it to a parade of the Bundeswehr's 30th anniversary a few years before.

@@olafge It is quite surreal to see so many people who were actually in Berlin around this time watching my RU-vid videos. I've had countless American, British and former East German soldiers leave comments on my videos, sharing their experiences all here on RU-vid. I was born a decade after the 40th anniversary of the GDR, so for most my life I didn't even know it existed because the American education system is quite poor when it comes to world history. Germany post-WW2 was not even mentioned once during my entire tenure in secondary education! In fact, most people don't really have any clue about Cold War history in general (which in my opinion is disturbing) considering it wasn't that long ago and how relevant it is in today's geopolitics. Part of my family is from the USSR, so I get a taste of both worlds.

Double the Speed of the Film and I am sure you will see it in a different light , hilarious ! 😎

It had nothing to do with "Prussian military"...it was brazen communist military propaganda and projection of power. you don't see the unified German military doing that now...But you see constantly see China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, all trying to bully neighbors with flaunting military might in parades.

с этим полностью согласен, не знаю, как думают немцы, но для нас выглядит именно так, наши политики решили не унижать немецкий народ, а дать им совместную победу над фашизмом гитлеровской Германии, потому и сохраняли их национальные традиции.

какой бред конечно же.... во первых. Пруссия это исторический враг России, никакого духа Советы в ГДР не оставили от Пруссии. Вовторых, посмотрите на парады Нацисткой Германии и это и сравните....

@@user-ok3nn5op6y That's nonsense. The way Germany was arranged after WWII served to destroy Prussia to the maximum extent possible. This was not an accident. It is very clear a goal of the USSR was to destroy the Prussian streak in the German national character. A lot of historic Prussia ended up permanently in Poland, where it was emptied of Germans. Russia even kept part of East Prussia for itself (Kaliningrad) filling it with Russians. The Hohenzollern homeland, Brandenburg, was consigned to East Germany, where all large land holdings were expropriated, thereby destroying what remained of the Prussian aristocracy. West Germany was therefore founded on a non-Prussian foundation. Adenauer was a Rhinelander. West Germany was therefore largely a non-Prussian German state (yes, Rhineland was one of the parts of Prussia after 1815, but no one ever confused the Rhineland for the real Prussia, given its large Catholic population). And interestingly, and again this was not an accident, when the USSR agreed to German reunification, it did so under the condition that the DDR land expropriations could not be reversed. The USSR was determined that the wooden stake remain in the Prussian heart. And thus the Prussian heritage of the current Germany was, to the maximum extent possible, permanently eliminated. Former Prussian aristocrats have sought to recover their lands in the former East Germany, and post-unification German courts have agreed - this cannot be reversed.

The drummers rotating their mallets as they strike the drum is a late DDR invention (1980's), before that, they hit the drums in Prussian style. It seems in the last decade of the NVA, a few Prussian traditions were dropped (Closed Collar Tunics, Exerzierschritt in 1990, and drummers hitting the snare drums). For most of the NVA's existence, the Musikkorps maintained the most Prussian doctrine and drill whilst the regular troops used mix of Prussian and Soviet traditions. I personally love the DDR's style of rotating the mallets, it looks so awesome and unique, but untraditional.

@@MaximusandHistory I just love that drumming style ;) What‘s ironic is that right in the 80s, the Bundeswehr went away from its Americanisations (Adapting WW2 Luftwaffe uniform, replacing the American M1 with German M92 and berets, Guard battalion officially being the successor to the first Prussian foot guard battalion, etc.) and became more German while the NVA became less German. Man, these times were truly a headache.

@@scanida5070 I should also correct myself, I didn't realize this until later on, but the NVA Musikkorps still used the traditional snare drums and hit them in the Prussian style. If you look closely, they are hiding behind the front row of tenor drums (which rotate their mallets). For some reason I though they removed the snares and replaced them with the tenors entirely, but they actually just added the extra row of tenors, making it 3 rows of drummers.

@@MaximusandHistory I’ll be honest with you: They should’ve removed one line of the snares because the fifes are just way too quiet. The Parademarsch der Spielleute only works if you can truly hear the fifes.

@@MaximusandHistory Adding of the tenor drums adds to the frequencies of all percussions together, making them even louder. The rotating of the mallets is actually an NVA-variant of old cavalry drummers' style of rotating mallets. Definitely an interesting and impressive feature of NVA's drum corps.
