Sadly, the grand Deutschland of old is now gone and is not likely to return, ever again. For my family at least, we lost our pride along with our titles and ancestral homes. :(
You know, my family also lost it's whole possession in eastern Germany when the Soviets came (my family owned a big piece of land somewhere in Mecklemburg-Vorpommern, including 4 villages, a big forest, a lake, many fields and a big manor..).
The Soviets murdered my great-grandmother (the mother of my fathers father) when she tried to flee.. my grandfather managed to evade and took many big portraits of old family members with him.
At the same time my great-grandfather died of pneumonia in a military hospital in Heide, which also in Holstein. He was brought there with one of the last cattle cars,some days before he had fought in East-Prussias pocket to defend Königsberg..
Today some stupid idiots came to our former familyposession and installed a museum there, displaying some odd "great halls of knights" and silly stuff like that.. if they knew i was the successor of the former owners ;)
My grandfather is still alive and tells sometimes about the dark times he lived trough.
