#  The proud owner 

 





July 23, 2019

 

 

 I've been flea market shopping in the former east of Berlin, and I am now the proud owner of about 90 copies of *Das Magazine* from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. These monthly issues were the rough equivalent of the *New Yorker* mixed with *Playboy* in the GDR. It cost me a fortune to post them back to the United States, but hopefully they will offer a nice glimpse into life under state socialism.
