Erich Honecker got his big military parade for the 40th anniversary of the German Democratic Republic on 7th October 1989. There had been weekly protests all over the country for the past 5 weeks.
10 days later he was removed from office. One month later all the government ministers resigned. In the first free election in March, the party went from 55% of parliament seats to 16%. By November, the state no longer existed.
