During the Cold War period both countries were members of Warsaw Pact and Comecon. East Germany provided logistics support but did not directly militarily invade Czechoslovakia during the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia. Within the Eastern Bloc two countries shared certain set of similarities such as similar levels of economic development, regional proximity, the border with the Western Bloc and as well the fact that after a protracted period of confrontation German and Czechoslovak states were formally close allies.[2]
In 1989 over 2,000 East German citizens rushed the West German Embassy in Prague in an effort to emigrate to the west.[3]
