On November 9th, 1989, one of the defining moments of the twentieth century took place when the Berlin Wall, itself, an iconic symbol of the Cold War, effectively came down.
For almost thirty years, the wall had divided East from West Berlin, and acted as the partition to keep the Eastern Soviet Bloc countries away from those of the democratic West.
The wall was built with one specific goal: to keep the people of East Germany from leaving for the West. It would become known as Berlin's "Wall of Shame."
On this episode, the Hungry Historian will walk you through the closing days of the Second World War in Europe and the events that led to the construction of the "Antifascistischer Schutzwall.
Additionally, Chef Money will stop by to serve you up a Featured recipe that not only ties into this episode, but is also inspired by one of his favourite action movies. A dessert that he's decided to call the Atomic Blondie.
Cheers!
