"Monster" historical background conjecture

Dr. Tianma is an outstanding brain surgeon, known as the "genius of brain surgery". In an operation, he risked offending the hospital director to save a young boy, but a series of murders followed. Who created this series of murders? After a series of secret investigations, Tianma discovered that the murderer was the little boy he saved back then. Behind the little boy lies a forgotten history - the "511 Children's Home" in the GDR (1949-1990).
The "511 Children's Home" was a laboratory of human nature in the GDR at that time, and the people who came out of it became monsters - superb killing techniques, insight into people's observation level, and cruel and ruthless crime plots. Tenma struggles between the roles of a doctor and an assassin, and suicide falls just short of success. The monster is growing up, struggling in John Libet's body, trying to destroy this world. A series of events unfolding interlockingly, successfully constructing a suspenseful world, which is fascinating.
What is the gray historical background behind the story? The GDR is a socialist regime supported by the former Soviet Union. Unlike China, because the GDR is at the forefront of the "Cold War", the former Soviet Union's control over it is particularly harsh. The brutal political struggle lasted for more than 40 years, and there were many tragedies and unjust cases, and the "511 Children's Home" was an orphan of political prisoners, fugitives and other parents, so it was carried out by the former GDR Ministry of the Interior (spy agency) as a dictatorship object. The cruel experiment can be imagined. After the reunification of Germany, the GDR destroyed all evidence against itself, but John Libet (the monster) was not destroyed, he survived.
What is the outcome of the story? John Libet disappeared and disappeared in the vast crowd. The monster is man - John Libet, the monster is made by politics - the GDR, the GDR is made by the Soviet Union - socialism, what is it that makes socialism? "Monster" did not discuss? Or is it reflected? - The monster of the heart.
In "Monster", there is a story of a monster: two monsters have no names, so they look for names from different directions, and one monster tells others: as long as you give me your name, I will make you stronger. If it succeeds, it will grow up in someone else's body, but in the end it will devour someone else. So been looking for a name. I dare not make political guesses, but is it as I said above?
This anime is not easy. All I can say is.

Monster quotes

  • Jan Suk: Is there something you want to say?

    Fritz Verdeman: I'm saying that your questions stick too much to the manual. So, what have we learned so far? You're just like a kid these days. You probably hit on women using a manual.

    Jan Suk: You look just like a father. I don't have a father, but I'd never want a parent like you.

  • Inspector Lunge: I already know what happened. I know about Inspector Zeman's connection to the secret police and his brutal death. Prague's police chief and two officers were poisoned to death.

    [taps fingers]

    Inspector Lunge: The two agents who were sent to tail you were found shot to death. And you're the chief suspect in all the incidents that have taken place. Considering all the evidence stacked against you, you're the culprit.

    Jan Suk: I'm not! I didn't do anything!

    Inspector Lunge: Then it could be Grimmer, the tall, thin, man who was talking with Inspector Zeman the day before he was killed?

    Jan Suk: It's not Mr. Grimmer, either! He wouldn't do something like that.

    Inspector Lunge: In that case, who is the killer? You know, don't you? You know who the killer is, right?

    Jan Suk: W-What are you talking about? If I knew, I wouldn't be in this state. Deceived by so many people... set up to take the fall... even being on the run from the police... I've had enough of this! I don't want to be betrayed anymore!

    Inspector Lunge: You're a detective, aren't you? If you're a detective, then you have to calmly dissect the situation. Even if it's painful, you must calmly uncover the truth.

    [gets up]

    Inspector Lunge: If you don't want to be betrayed anymore... then start doubting the person you want to doubt the least.
