I'm finishing up Ian Kershaw's "The End: The Defiance and Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1944-1945." I realized that I have a limited knowledge of early East Germany. Specifications within....
Looking to read about East Germany in the first 10-15 years of USSR rule. I know how afraid Germans in the east of Germany were afraid of their USSR conquerors and am looking to read about their reactions and the general climate in USSR-controlled East Germany from mid-1945 to 1960.
