"Honecker, du bist der letzte, mach bitte das Licht aus..."
I think there's a little typo, it should be "macht". Then it yields the sentence "Honecker, you're the last, please turn off the lights."
- tazjin 11y ago"mach" is imperative singular, "macht" is imperative plural. So "mach bitte das Licht aus" is addressing Honecker directly (which is most likely intended here), where "macht bitte das Licht aus" would also address the people with him.

- lschmelzeisen 11y ago"mach" is the imperative form of "machen" and perfectly fine in that sentence in the sense of "Honecker, please turn of the lights!". With "macht" the sentence would be more of an observation and the "bitte" (please) would sound weird: "Honecker please turns of the light." Edit: as tazjin stated "macht" can also be used to address the whole group.
