I fail to understand this East\West German situation. I mean Germany united is the size of Texas so you would think that the prosperous west would simply expand production into the east and vice verse. Is there some sort of economic blockade of east German industry by the west?

I just cannot understand how Germany has failed unify its two parts.
Its not as if Germany was split for centuries, People on both sides of the wall remember when there was no wall.
