East Germany’s Military Porn Factory Had Ways Of Making You Fap

Researchers combing through the Cold War era files of the East German secret police in Berlin have uncovered a startling new secret about the military powerhouse that struck fear into the hearts of Western Europeans for decades—they loved their porn. In fact, they didn't just watch it ... they made it! Lots of it. Even though porn was officially outlawed under the Communist regime, in the 1980s an army base in Biesdorf became a de facto porn studio with over 160 East German soldiers and officers directing, shooting and even starring in hardcore porn films that were shown at parties for the Army's top brass. But now their dirty secret is out, and German TV has even broadcast a few scenes (clips please, German readers!) proving that the German Democratic Republic (which was neither Democratic nor a Republic; discuss) was better at spying on its people than fucking them. But was it better than "Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS?" We're going to need more double agents to know for sure.
