Description:

Did you know that East Germany might not have fully ceased to exist after reunification in 1990? Following World War II, Germany was split into four occupation zones, which eventually led to the creation of East and West Germany. But in 1972, a unique event occurred: Fidel Castro gifted a Cuban island to East Germany as a symbol of their strong friendship. The island, renamed Ernst Thälmann Island, was forgotten over the years and not mentioned in any reunification agreements. Could this make it the last remnant of East Germany? Find out the fascinating history behind this uninhabited island and the strange legacy of German reunification.

Transcript:

We all know East Germany ceased to exist in 1990 when East and West Germany reunited, except this might not be true. You see, after World War II, Germany was split into four occupation zones by the USSR, UK, France, and the United States. The areas occupied by the US, UK, and France were unified into a country commonly known as West Germany, while the area that the Soviets occupied became East Germany.

East Germany was a communist country, as was Cuba, and the two countries were really good friends. Because of this, in 1972, Fidel Castro decided to give a nice gift to East Germany. The gift was this Cuban island. The island's name was changed from Cayo Blanco del Sur to Ernst Thälmann Island. Despite some efforts by the Germans, the island remained uninhabited.

The island was completely forgotten, so forgotten that in all documents signed when East Germany re-joined West Germany, the island was not mentioned at all, which means that it never officially rejoined West Germany, making it the last remaining part of East Germany. When asked about this, Germany and Cuba said that the transfer of the island was just symbolic, although it didn't look like that at the time.
