The book delves into the historical complexities surrounding Germany's division during the Cold War, revealing that Stalin did not initially aim for a separate socialist state. Instead, he envisioned a joint administration of Germany by the victorious powers, reminiscent of the Weimar Republic. The establishment of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) emerged largely from Walter Ulbricht's fervent revolutionary ambitions, which thrived amid Western policies that isolated the East. Wilfried Loth's research offers a compelling reevaluation of these pivotal events.
