communities who lived in constant fear under wall-to-wall surveillance,

are you speaking about every spot of the land being under
surveillance by CCTV? The six-month long preservation of each and
every communication data (who called whom from where and for how long,
who emailed whom and when, which website did you access), i.e. about
today's reality?

East Germany is no more,

sure, the Stasi was really artisanal compared with the modern, much
more efficient surveillance apparatus now in place.

and luckily little bloodshed accompanied the protests that led up
to the fall of the Wall.

because it was not the NATO airforce who bombed the Wall, as in
Jugoslavia, but the people themselves.

With a slightly different sequence of events there could have
been a bloodbath.

See Srebenica, where the NATO forces disarmed the people of that
city, to prevent them from defending themselves. See Afghanistan. See
Iraq.

The Stasi were champing at the bit to kick some Arsenals big time.

We now have Stasi 2.0
