At the close of the Second World War, Eastern Germany is occupied by the Soviet Red Army. In 1949, after the creation of a Federal Republic of Germany in the western allied occupation zones, the Soviets give license to East German communists to create a state of their own: the German Democratic Republic. These archives tell the story of East Germany's nadir, albeit in an incomplete way, and lays the foundations for the future European order.
