AfD remains popular in parts of former East Germany.

These regions are still far less wealthy than West Germans and they miss being told what to do by a strong leader, whether Hitler or a communist sort.

Former East Germans also remain uncomfortable with all of the Turks Helmut Kohl brought into West Germany during the early 1960s along with their Donner Kebabs and mosques, which have all been a normal part of everyday life in the West for more than fifty years.

Many former East Germans while in the former East still try to get a rise out of West Germans by stomping their foot and yelling "Achtung" or dressing up like Nazis - and of course they speak Saxon. In the prosperous former West Germany, former East Germans have learned to hide their "Upper Saxon accent" so they can get good paying jobs.
.

Anja the blonde is a former East German, so she speaks both normal German as well as Saxon like former East Germans. Needless to say, in Germany the Saxon dialect makes you sound "bossy and ignorant".

Cari the redhead is a former West German.

In the second video former West German Cari uses "What'sApp" to try to communicate with Anja's grandmother in former Eastern Germany.

Then former East German Anja tries to use Saxon to communicate with the West German religion teacher from former West German Cari's school.
