The German Democratic Republic in the Fight for the Unity of Germany

Description

The Second World War dismembered Germany into occupation spheres of the Soviets, Americans, British and French. Blatantly violating the agreements signed at Potsdam by the allied powers, the latter three broke off plans for establishing an all-German state — peace-loving, united and free — by blatantly violating the will of the German people and establishing the Federal Republic of Germany over “West Germany” on May 23rd, 1949. In the face of this, the Soviets continually proposed a united Germany with all-German free elections to determine its social system, but due to the stubbornness of the Western powers, ultimately had no choice except to establish the German Democratic Republic to express the will of the German people over “East Germany.” Led by esteemed anti-fascist President Wilhelm Pieck, who lived outside of his beloved Germany for many years due to the Hitlerite terror, the GDR established a multi-party system with Communist, Social-Democratic, Christian Democratic and Liberal Democratic interests represented, all of whom continued the work for reunification, making proposal after proposal to reunify with the FRG for all-German elections, based on the Weimar Republic electoral law. But time was to show that the FRG and its NATO puppet masters were not interested in reunification — Konrad Adenauer and his fellow-travellers following the path of political persecution of anyone who opposed them, permanent U.S. military occupation, recruiting hundreds of thousands of German youth to remilitarize and terrorize the GDR, appoint fascist war criminals to the highest echelons of the state (Adolf Heusinger, Hitler’s Wehrmacht leader, for example, led the FRG’s army before becoming the leader of NATO) and egg on a new German imperialism with its “Drang nach dem Osten” (drive to the east) policy against the Soviet Union and the people’s democracies of Eastern Europe. Just as Hitler did, one of the first acts of the FRG was banning all Communists; meanwhile, the GDR allowed full freedom to Adenauer’s party, the Christian Democrats. Every excuse was found by Adenauer and FRG politicians to refuse reunification and all-German elections; meanwhile, the Leninist-Stalinist policy of the USSR and the policy of the GDR was unity, independence from aggressive military blocs, free elections and a peace treaty with the big powers. All the facts found in this book are decisive — the Anglo-Americans split Germany against Potsdam and against the German people.
