Mate it's right there.
Cool than you'd be able to share things from the archives that meet those specified criterion?
Yes sure let me just get an eight hour train to Berlin to work on your assignments, random person on the internet.
Okay so you are claiming that there is proof but we would have to go to Berlin to find proof? In the age where internet archives exist?
If neither of us are willing to physically go there than why did you cite it as a source to support your claims?
Yes, let's ask the German government to make Stasi records spying on the private lives of citizens open and public, because it would help strangers win arguments on the internet.
You are not a very serious person, are you?
Dear God, are you claiming that the proof for the three things I asked for proof for can only be found at this specific archive? Thay doesn't even make sense, how is proof of widespread government violence in order to prevent reunification found there? How is proof of extensive nuremburg-esque trials post-reunificstion found there?
