The Allies’ German Policy
In August 1945, the Allied Control Council sets to work. The Supreme Commanders of the four occupied zones are to advise on all pan-German issues and implement the Potsdam resolutions. Germany is to be demilitarised, its industry decentralised and industrial plants dismantled to cover the costs of the war. In addition, the population is to be denazified and democratised. But it soon becomes clear that the Cold War has long since begun. The attempt at a common policy is shattered by ideological differences and great mistrust. The Soviet occupation zone becomes a geostrategic buffer zone, with communism being the dominant ideology. The USA holds out against this with the Marshall Plan as an economic – and political – weapon. The division of Germany is only a question of time. | In this film version, German interviews and historical or literary quotes remain untranslated.
