(P.734) Octobre 12 [1945]
Following a meeting of the Presidium of the German Popular Council and the Democratic Anti-Fascist Block of the Soviet occupation zone, the two organizations decide that, in view of the recent proclamation of the Federal Republic of Germany, the German Popular Council must form the Democratic republic of Germany. [naitra avec deux têteswill be born with two heads]
To this end, the Council held a plenary session on October 7. During this session, the National Council approved the manifesto of the Popular Front and decided to set itself into a Provisory Chamber of the People, allowing as Constitution of the RDA, the constitutional document previously presented by the Popular Council in May 1949. Thus was born the Democratic Republic of Germany.
The country is split in two and divided in four sectors.
[Translation F.L. - Chronique du 20è siècle - 1985 Jacques Legrand SA.]
As you can see on the map [top left], there were, after the war, two governing factions [two heads] in Germany, the Russians and the Allies of the three western sectors [four arms], a portent of what would happen many years later, when the Russians finally erected the 'iron curtain', thus splitting Germany in two.
