Talk:Democratic Bloc (East Germany)

Second to last paragraph
"By 1946, the KPD and the Soviet occupation authorities had cajoled the Social Democrats in the eastern zone to merge with the KPD to form the Socialist Unity Party. Ostensibly a union of equals, the SED soon became a full-fledged Communist party along lines similar to other parties in what would become the Soviet bloc.  The SED and the occupation authorities soon pressured the other parties into forming a permanent coalition under SED leadership.  This coalition presented a single, SED-dominated "unity list" in the Constitutional Assembly elections held in May 1949.  Although voters were only given the option of approving or rejecting the list in less-than-secret circumstances, official figures showed 66 percent of those turning out approved the list – by far the lowest total to which an SED-led alliance would admit during the four decades of Communist rule in East Germany."

These are a lot of claims and some wording that one could consider to be showing biased (cajoled, ostensibly, less-than-secret circumstances) and there are no sources cited. I added a citation needed tag but it may warrant deletion if there are no reliable sources (i.e. from the German Wikipedia article) to cite for these claims.
