Sowjetische Kommandanturen und Deutsche Verwaltung in der SBZ und Frühen DDR

The SBZ and early East German state were subject to a chaotic set of laws derived from the Soviet occupation, Nazi era, German Bundesländer, and new East German government. This source volume helps create order from the chaos. A catalogue of occupational authorities, commanders, and key documents, most of them from Soviet archives, along with introductory texts, examine this history from the Russian as well as German perspectives.
