As an answer also the other side builded its Nationale Volksarmee. Clemens Pongratz. It is true that Patton did not want to take DEF. He viewed capturing POWs as a sport; thus over when the war ended. It is also true that Patton released many who were DEF. He also allowed certain local customs to continue. For these actions he was relieved of command by Eisenhower.

According to one of Eisenhower's aides, he had never heard Eisenhower more angry than he was when bawling out Patton. It seems that Patton was not enthusiastic about the Eisenhower policy. The treatment that you note was the exception, not the rule. What happened to the German army? Though the state designated by "BRD" was depicted like "the evil German state" in official GDR propaganda, the abbreviation itself was neutral.

In the Federal Minister of All-German Affairs issued the Directives for the appellation of Germany recommending to avoid the initialism. On 31 May the heads of German federal and states governments recommended to always use the full name in official publications. West Germany had always claimed to be the Germany, and she did not like the analogy to DDR , or two separate German states. This West German claim was also reflected in the Hallstein Doctrine determining her foreign and interior policy until c.

So the initialism reached only occasional frequency in West German parlance. In order to be precise West Germans prevailingly used the terms Bundesrepublik or Bundesgebiet federal republic, or federal territory, resp.

These writers were using sf and fantasy tropes to imagine utopian worlds as well as nightmarish scenarios.

Then the Wall came down, and all the publishing houses that published those wonderful writers closed down because the government that subsidized them no longer existed, and none of those writers could get published.
