    }QUOTE REF HONECKER GOES: EAST BERLIN. East German leader Erich Honecker
    GS23108910 was deposed on 18 October and replaced by Politburo member
    23.10.89 Egon Krenz, another hardline Communist who wants no truck
    with capitalism or opposition parties. Six years ago, Krenz,
    the son of a tailor, became the youngest member of the
    Politburo, where he has been in charge of security. Most
    observers saw him as the natural successor, groomed by
    Honecker in his own image, that of a staunch and orthodox
    Stalinist. Date Shot: 18/19.10.89

    The beginning of the end was not the deposition of Erich Honecker. It was either Gorbachev coming to power in 1985, or the start of strikes by the Solidarity trade union in Gdańsk in Poland in 1981.

    What is the point of putting German subtitles when, German is being spoken on the video. I thought the whole point of having subtitles was to translate into other Languages,

      The subtitles were originally placed with German speakers in mind. Or for that matter, any German speaker who couldn't hear it or didn't have the audio.
      But it was not made for people of other languages to understand.

      That's how they made the disastrous decision to support a lot of the Nazis legislation in the Reichstag in the early 1930s: they decided the Nazis were the final stage of capitalism, and therefore helping them enact their legislation would hasten the "inevitable" (in their eyes) demise of capitalism. Of course the communists ended up paying for this dumbfuckery with their lives once the Nazis were in full control.
