"GDR The uprising of June 17, 1953" - : Since its founding, the German Democratic Republic (GDR) has repeatedly struggled with domestic political problems. While the standard of living of the population in the western part of Germany steadily increased, it stagnated in the GDR . A one-sided, industry-oriented reconstruction policy, coupled with rapid militarization, weighed on the country's economy, which was already under pressure from Soviet reparations demands. A majority of the population did not identify with the socialist system, which accordingly stood on shaky ground.
DDR: Der Aufstand vom 17. Juni 1953 was directed by Andrea Ritterbusch.
DDR: Der Aufstand vom 17. Juni 1953 runs for 1h 18min, and was released in 1990.
