Yeah, I've never even HEARD this song, but due to what I've learned in history, he's obviously talking about Cold-War era Iron Curtain Germany. Because West Germany's economy (due to hefty US aid) recovered after the war (WWII) and East Germany's didn't due to communist Soviet domination. And a lot wanted to get back together again... which of course, eventually happened, in like 1989.

Also, new Belsen is probably a ref. To Bergen-Belsen, the notorious nazi concentration camp in WWII. Which might have been in East Germany.

Holidays in the Sun is about a tourism company putting up adverts for expensive vacations (holidays) in the poorest sections of London and other British cities and how much better things would be on the "other" side of the wall.
