- Notes for Aktivität 25:
  - Beitritt = joining
  - By “das zweite deutsche Reich,” Vorsprung means the period from 1871-1918, so they’re looking for 1871 for that. Normally, no one really talks about “das zweite deutsche Reich.” Some obscure historian coined this term in the 1920s, predicting that a third reich would follow, and the Nazis got very excited about this terminology.
  - For die Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft in Deutschland, list BOTH years found in the text!
Video: “simpleshow erklärt den Fall der Berliner Mauer“
Video: “JFK: Ich bin ein Berliner”
- Smartasses will sometimes say that this means that Kennedy said he was a jelly donut (“ein Berliner”). This is a myth. Yes, technically the “ein” should be omitted when stating one’s city or country of origin – but in this case he was correct to include it for emphasis – and in any case no one would have misunderstood what he meant!
