The first 100 days

1949 was an exciting, weird and grotesque year. That was only partly due to the big events that were unfolding: the founding of the BRD and the DDR. Other things were happening too: the brutal actions of the Gladow band in Berlin, the first wrestling matches with women, the exposure of a Chinese drug smuggling ring in Hamburg etc. Wolfgang Brenner's historical reports transport the reader to a new era.
