Well that sure was an episode. Seems to me the GDR didn't really have a good choice. Don't build the wall, brain drain happens and your country collapses. Build the wall, you spend a massive amount of resources maintaining it and your country collapses anyway. Really the lesson here is that the Soviets should never have given the other allies their own parts of Berlin.
The biggest problem with this episode by far is how they don't emphasize at all just how not denazified West Germany was. Weird stuff about being upset at rehabilitated nazis in the East but not the people directly in control in the West. Pretty cringe.
Because if they mentioned that, it would provide an avenue for people to question their narrative that the stasi existed solely for oppression of workers instead of as a very effective denazification program.
