Here is an example.
In the Long March, the Chinese Red Army had to cross the Ya'an river to safety. The main crossing was at Luding. Reactionist Nationalist forces occupied the bridge crossing.
The Fourth Regiment of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Army marched sixty miles in twenty four hours. Those who couldn't make it dropped by the side of the road, others kept on going. Only a handful remained by the time they arrived at Luding. Communists scouts copied the nationalist bugle calls and the nationalists main body got confused and arrived late or never at all.
Nonetheless there were nationalist troops on the other side. The bridge had to be immediately captured before the nationalists could fortify the other side.
Luding Bridge was a suspension bridge with two metal rails suspending wooden planks. A handful of Communist troops crossed to the other side over the narrow bridge while under machine gun fire and after the nationalists had set fire to the bridge. Watching this manful display, the nationalist troops simply retreated and the Communists carried the town. The Red Army was therefore saved.
Reactionists almost never have such energy.

Imagine actually believing this
The Bundeswehr was partially reinforced by officers who had served in the Wehrmacht previously, like Erwin von Witzleben, Hans Kroh or Erich Hartmann. These officers had no nazi backgrounds, and were clear to re-enlist after thorough investigation. Specialists with field knowledge who still clung to the nazi ideology, like renowned Stuka ace Hans-Ulrich Rudel, had to flee to South America, and were never included in the Bundeswehr. The idea that the foundation of the German armed forces was a brainchild of the western allies, or that its officers were nazis, is laughable.
Furthermore: We can chat all day about what Stalin may or may not have promised the people of Germany, but if you were to actually look at early German elections and the Soviet response, it’s evident that Stalin would never uphold his end of the bargain. “Democracy” in the GDR was compromised after the Russians forced the de-facto disbandment of the SPD and set up the SED to enforce their interests.

I don't think anyone actually believed that there would have been a functioning democracy in the GDR anyway. It was inevitable that either the SPD or the KPD was going to to be put to the top of the pile by the Russians. And as it stood, the KPD had the greater amount of pull with Moscow, despite it actually being the SPD that was the more popular party in places like Berlin, meaning that the SPD had to be given the axe somehow. Suppressing the SPD would have been too messy at a time when Stalin was trying to present as all smiles and sunshine to the west, so Moscow started exerting pressure on the SPD to merge with the KPD, even though Moscow knew fine well that it'd be the KPD that'd get the lion's share of power in the merger.
