Do Germans not eat canned fish?
They ultimately did, though state TV needed to include it in their cooking show as otherwise the fish would've rotted on the shelves -- the cans had Russian labels and while people learned Russian in school that doesn't mean that you know the name of a random fish. People didn't know what it was, what to do with it, so they didn't buy it.
Also you might've noticed that the GDR had a coastline.
In any case, and you seem to be trying hard to not address it: The point is not the fish. And it wasn't always fish, but other random shit. The point is that the GDR didn't have a choice. And the Russians didn't even have the decency to ship the cans with German labels. Probably were sitting in some warehouse collecting dust in Russia in the fist place.
I guess I'm just hard time what point you want me to take away from this when everything you've told me is unsourced and anecdotal. Random stories from random people on the internet don't really mean much to me.
My source is German TV documentaries if that helps.
And details actually are unimportant there's a multitude of ways to establish that the likes of Poland and the GDR were vassals of the USSR. How about Hungary? Yugoslavia wasn't, insert Tito quote about sending a single assassin to Stalin if Stalin doesn't stop sending dozens to Tito.
Well, that's not what the person you were responding to was disputing, was it? Vassal state relations are not necessarily imperialism, by the standard he laid out.
