My family escaped to West Germany shortly after the war. They escaped starvation and joblessness. You are wrong.
so all youre telling me that after the county was almost completely destroyed during ww2, the situation was dire? no fucking shit, sherlock.
An actually ideologically socialist government wouldn't have made them feel the need to flee, and would have done better picking up the pieces
And much more so than the Allied controlled western side, hence the escape genuis.
