6 - The 1953 East German Uprising with Dr Richard Millington - a podcast by Ian Sanders

We talk about the relatively little known Uprising of 1953 in East Germany.

A lot of focus justifiably is on the fall of the Berlin Wall, but it can be argued that the Uprising of 1953 sowed the seeds for the eventual demise of the GDR.

We chat with Dr Richard Millington who has studied the Uprising and shares with us some fascinating research including eyewitness accounts and details from the Stasi files of the period. Support the show (https://coldwarconversations.com/donate/)
