East Berlin, officially known as the German Democratic Republic (GDR), sought to establish its unique identity, tearing down Prussian monuments and embracing communist ideologies. The GDR faced economic challenges, resulting in shortages of essential goods, and political disputes led to a blockade on Berlin, triggering the famous Berlin airlift and countless escape attempts.
