Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2009-12-03 23:08	Not really; we'd been building tower blocks using similar techniques since the 1950s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_block#United_Kingdom
Ingo ◊ 2009-12-04 06:56	Sure, in West Germany, Holland and elsewhere in the West, too. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plattenbau What I mean is, that in the COMECON-countries and their related "friends" these buildings were mainly constructed by GDR-engineers. It was indeed a not neglible GDR-export-product.
