OK, a lot of these have multiple parts and in that case I'll say how many parts there are and post the link to the first part only.

YouTube also suggests all sorts of related links that take you off in all sorts of tangents!

This is a PR clip from the DDR-Zoll:

Zoll - in deinem Interesse - DDR 1961

---

This is a multi-part documentary, but only some parts seem to be up. It was made in the early 1990s:

Das war die DDR 3 (1von5) - Vom Plan zur Pleite

Can anyone tell me if the spooky intro music is from some DDR TV program or other?

Stasi documentary. This one includes a part on the surveillance of the US Embassy:

DDR - Die Bilder der Stasi, DOKU

---

10-part documentary on the downfall of the SED/DDR:

Das Ende des Politbüros (HQ) 1-10

---

Three-part West German documentary on the Stasi from the mid-1980s:

Im Dienste der Macht - Das Ministerium für Staatssicherheit der DDR 1/3

---

Two-part documentary on the Grenztruppen. From 1990, I guess, since the border guard PR guy and the DDR attorney general are still in uniform:

Wenn die Stummen schreien - Schießbefehl bei den DDR-Grenztruppen1/2

---

Documentary about the foundation of the Stasi:

Geheimdienst - Gründung der Stasi

---

Three-part documentary on the execution of a Stasi captain, Werner Teske:

Six-part documentary on the downfall of the DDR:

Three-part recent documentary on the Stasi. Narrated by Thomas Thieme (Minister Bruno Hempf in The Lives of Others):

Geheimnisvolle Orte - Die Stasi-Zentrale 1/3

---

Four-part documentary on the structure of the NVA:

Die National Volksarmee - Strukture und Strategie (1 of 4)

---

This is an interesting amateur-shot clip of the demands dissatisfied NVA guys from the Panzerregiment I in 1990:

NVA..Soldatenaufstand in Beelitz 1989/90

... the guy who climbs up on the tank... is his tunic from that time, with the collar braiding or whatever it's called? He seems to be incorrectly wearing a Felddienst belt, but I guess in 1990 that didn't really matter.

---

Short recruitment clip for political officers in the Grenztruppen:

NVA - Politoffizier der Grenztruppen

---

DDR info clip from the 1960s about the need for the NVA and the border:

NVA - Des Volkes Soldaten

---

Six-part transmission from DDR TV of the NVA parade for the 40th anniversary of the DDR in October 1989:

Ehrenparade der NVA 1949-1989 Part 1 of 6

---

Five-part documentary on fast food of the DDR:

MAHLZEIT DDR - Broiler, Ketwurst & Grilletta 1/5

Currrywurst and grilled chicken!

---

I could go on, but that's enough for now. These clips are all in German...

I hope someone finds them of interest!
