A video on Facebook claims that Erich Honecker, former leader of the GDR, planned the fall of the Berlin Wall for a long time in order to plunge Germany into crisis.
The special thing about that video: It is a professional-seeming documentation including contemporary witnesses who confirm the statements. It gets even better: This documentary was even shown on TV!

“We’re opening the wall again!”
In the video, Honecker's secretary Friedhelm Nuschke reports that Honecker said to him in 1983 after a state visit from FJ Strauss. “Nuschke, we’re opening the wall again.” Honecker's idea is said to have been that opening the wall would cost the West billions upon billions. He wanted to accelerate the ruin of the Federal Republic by years.
“History is being written in this garden today!”
Years later, after Honecker had fled to Chile, a young woman is said to have visited him and received precise instructions from him: a folder with a 20-year plan to fill all important positions in Germany with East Germans, to promote socialism to revive. The young woman's name: Angela Merkel!
No secret documentation
In fact, this documentary was shown several times on German television. In the upper left corner of the video you can see a cut-off logo: that of the broadcaster “zdf info”.

So is this all true?
The documentary aired on German television in 2009, just in time for the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. However, this is only a small part of the documentary, because it claims much more, including something that many conspiracy theorists will applaud: The moon landing never happened, it was all just a backdrop!
The title of the documentary was: “ The Black Channel Returns ”.
Short historical memory: “ The Black Channel ” was a political program that ran on GDR television from 1960 to 1989. Short excerpts from “West television” were shown, often distorted and recut, commented on with political ideologies in order to discriminate against western Germany.
Surprise: No!
If it doesn't ring a bell yet, we'll help you:
"The Black Channel Returns" is a satirical documentary , a so-called "mockumentary" (from the English to mock = to mock). So these are not real contemporary witnesses and statements!
If you like, you can watch the entire satirical documentary here. The excerpt, which was posted on Facebook, begins at 10:20 p.m.
Conclusion
No real statements, no real story, no scandal revelation why Facebook should ban you. It is an excerpt from a satirical documentary from 2009 on the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
