Sorry I sounded so defensive but I'd ...Hi, Freedom! Sorry I sounded so defensive but I'd written quite a lot and thought "what the...!?" That does happen, and I should have known that.xx<BR/><BR/>Thanks for coming by my place and asking for the story! It's no big deal but I felt it was a part of the history of this car you might find interesting.<BR/><BR/>As you know, the Trabbie is one of THE ugliest little utilitarian cars one can ever see! That's socialism, isn't it...no looks, no comfort, just utilitarianism. THAT was THE CAR for East Germany. And, one could wait for a few YEARS before finally getting this little hunk of junk delivered to them.<BR/><BR/>We happened to be in Munich when The Wall came down. I don't believe I'd ever seen a Trabbie though I'd traveled most of Germany (except the East, of course, though I'm pleased to have seen CHeckpoint Charlie when still in full gear). Only ONE DAY after the wall was gone and East Germans could finally leave on their own accord, you'd see Trabbies driving down the street and parked at the curbs in Munich (and other West German cities, of course), their owners visiting relatives they hadn't seen in YEARS, or EVER......shopping, just wanting to GET OUT OF TOWN and enjoying breathing the air of freedom.<BR/><BR/>The West Germans, still in the euphoria of ONENESS the wall's demise meant to them, did wonderful things: I saw TONS of clothing piled on top of parked Trabbies! I heard Trabbies which weren't locked got food put inside....you also saw bouquets of flowers on the hoods, etc.... Trabbies suddenly looked like ugly little parade floats once the West Germans got through giving what they could to their East German counterparts who had finally been freed...complete strangers helping complete strangers. It was very heartening to see the welcome and kindness of West Germans to their Eastern brothers and sisters.<BR/><BR/>of course, as we all know, the cost of reunification has been immeasurably more than anyone had expected$$ and the euphoria pretty much dissipated after that, but I think a beautiful part of that car's story is the way owners were treated when they finally escaped the gray and breathless part of Germany they'd been stuck in for so long! You KNEW if you saw a Trabbie, that was someone who'd really suffered and the Germans really helped them out.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18752302.post-51834833199452891432008-12-21T15:46:00.000-08:002008-12-21T15:46:00.000-08:00Z,Sorry, your comment never went through.
