Hello there you man. Are you waiting for the bus?

Yes I am , where are you going Professor?

....yes well done.

I'm off to the University to do a lecture on the East German Uprising of 1953 - scary stuff.

Oh boy, that's sure sounds like a lot of fun!

Well it wasn't that fun for the Berliners who were attacked by Soviet tanks... [www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xt034oYLrY]

That sounds horrible! Why did the tanks attack them?

It's all very complex but I will explain what happened...oh, the pain..

Once upon a time on a rainy day in East Berlin, 1953...

It was rather good in the beginning, well at least compared to before the 1945...
