Propaganda in East Germany
After the end of World War II Germany was separated into four occupied zones: British zone, American zone, French zone and Soviet zone. In 1947, the "German People's Congress for Unity and Just Peace" met in Berlin. The Congress was to take the demands of all the occupied zones, and create a peace treaty which would enact a centralized German government. The Stalin Regime created the German Democratic Republic on 9 October 1949.
