"The shut down and sell off took place almost immediately and with the stupid 1:1 exchange between West and East German Mark their industry was doomed anyway."

Pretty much. So East Germany is the German equivalent of the American South. How long before they reach rough parity? Here, that took over a century. Until the late '70s or so, the American South was the dumping ground of northern industries in search of cheap labor and a place to move obsolete equipment. I pray that Germany doesn't go through the same sort of thing. People with an obvious Yankee accent often had a short life expectancy. And that was true until the Great Growth Spurt happened during the '70s. After that, people were too busy rising out of grinding poverty to hold the old grudges. Despite what Shorty likes to think.
