The London Wall, which divided once united Britain's capital, came down on the night of February 20th 1999.
People power where those in the South smashed the wall down to enter the North to be greeted by welcoming crowds saw that happen while border guards stood aside.
It was an event seen worldwide and celebrated too!
The fall was the beginning of the end for the Democratic British Republic, that Berlin-backed regime. Where the London Wall divided that city, the Inner-British Border split the UK from The Wash to the Severn into South Britain (that DBR) and North Britain: the Federal Republic of Britain. The Nazis would go home back to Germania and, eventually, the Americans too from North Britain some years later. There was reunification during 2000. South Britain was no more and the capital returned from York to reunited London.
Us Britons still remember the communists in power in the 1930s, an alliance with the evil Soviets and the eventual fight against the Germans and later the Americans too. We lost our empire and our souls by allying with Stalin. While the Germans and Americans 'liberated' us, they fell out and split us in half.
Anyway, history lesson aside, where was I that night? I wish I could say I was there, taking a hammer to the hated wall. I lived in South London and could have been. Instead, it was my 17th Birthday and I was in bed with the flu. I missed it all and even slept while it happened!!!
Where were you when the London Wall fell?

Was 18 years old, doing my 2 year compulsory in the Netherlands Social Republic Army, my unit the 2nd Regiment Limburgse Jagers was like other units in the Netherlands Republican Army placed on full alert when the London Wall fell, there where fears that the might be World War III, but in the end except some anti-German demonstrations which where put down by the local German garrison and Netherlands Republican Army units, no war came. |

And soon after that the Strasbourg Pact fell, and the Netherlands Social Republic Army became servants of a new government too without Germania influence. Good times indeed! |

Well even if the Strasbourg Pact felt, Germany and the Union of Independent States it leads, called VAS (German: Vereinigung Unabhängiger Staaten) is still doing its best to cause trouble across the continent like trying to stop the reestablishment of the monarchy in the Netherlands, getting involved in the Belgium Civil War, supporting the Italian Social Republic in their efforts to reunify with the Kingdom of Italy and many other events they are in some way ore another involved in. |

Well I was in Parkhurt Prison on death row waiting to be hung as I was classed as an enemy of the people. All I had done was to listen to the BBC on a home made Crystal Radio. I had been turned in by my younger brother who had sadly been almost brain washed by the authorities whilst in a summer work camp. I am free now and have gone back to my old job of being a simple painter and decorator.

Parkhurt Prison, that was one of the prison run by the Ministry for State Security on the Isle of Wight which housed not only prison but also camps, i have heard that once you went to the Isle of Wight you only came back death. |

Well... maybe not so true. South Britain was run by Nazi spitlickals (spelling!) but things were only that bad post war. Death sentences were regular though the Gov did find a reason to do it. |

You mean the Germans found reasons tho put up a list of people they wanted jailed and executed, they made sure to make the newly Democratic British Republic do all the dirty work as they knew that once the DBR began to oppress people, they would need the Germans to stay in power which lasted until the fall of the London Wall in 1999. |

Oh, in case anyone didn't know, today is the 50th anniversary of Operation Channel.
Back in May 1971, Strasbourg Pact forces put down the British Spring. The Germans led that effort to crush what they viewed as a possible revolution in South Britain. Panzers went over the Channel Bridge (no, not on low-loaders but on their tracks: tearing up the roadway!) while fallschirmajger were air-lifted into Croydon Airport. Small numbers of troops from the French State, Belgium, Holland, Denmark and maybe a few other countries - I'm not so sure - joined in though it was mainly a German effort. IIRC though, there were Dutch paratroopers who went to Colchester and I'm sure French marines landed at Plymouth too.
Anyway, the British Spring was put down in less than two days and the country went back to being good little Nazi collaborators. It cost three hundred plus lives, with hardly any real fighting causing those but instead so many accidents. The Bridge was shut for a year afterwards due to damage and collapse fears after all of those tanks were on it at once! We got a new leader, one who did what Germania said too.
I wasn't alive for that one.

Heard the Black Prince Regiment, Oliver Cromwell Regiment and others belonging to the British Legion of the Waffen-SS went on a rampage with the blessing of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler himself after the end of the British Spring. |

1971 a date spoken with hatred in what is left of our family. Das brother Peter died at the hands of the German Paras. Why simple he was in the wrong place at the wrong time he died trying to give first aid to ironically one of the repressive authorities so called police officers the paras thought he was was trying to kill the officer how wrong were they, My Uncles wife was told about it by his best friend who was at the airport with my uncle they had both gone for a job interview nothing more.
My Uncles wife was a fighter in WW2 her dad had been one of the Auxiliaries that were there but not there if you get my meaning he had taught her every thing he had been taught for he could see the bad times coming. She filled milk bottles with as much raw rationed petrol as she could get added a small amount of every day washing powder mixed every thing up and went German hunting. She did well Roman candles she called the paras as the died. She took 20 odd down before being shot in the shoulder she made it though her local priest dragged her in to his church and hid her in a Priest Hole that had been dug during the reformation decades ago, when she was strong enough she was passed from family to to family until she was put on a fishing boat she was landed in Grimsby and became a leading resistance fighter after more intensive training. Backwards and forwards she would go North to South she would go her signature weapon a Molotov Cocktail .A true loyal angry widow.
