Oshwah, "constructive' means getting the history correct. Re your statement that my inserts "did not appear constructive":  This is the kind of language used by the Soviet Communists when they didn't want to admit what they had done.  Oshwah, what is your ethnicity/ethnic mix?

Oshwah, the US/UK/USSR approved German Occupation Zones date from 1944 (Ref The Wartime Alliance and the Zonal Division of Germany by Tony Sharp. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1975). That approval was for the Soviet Zone to extend all the way East, encompassing ALL of EASTERN 1937 Germany. (Oshwah, have you looked at a map of 1937 Germany?) The Soviet Zone's Western Boundary was defined by its intersection with the US & UK German Occupation Zones. Both Truman and Churchill looked to the 17 JUL to 2 AUG 1945 Potsdam Conference as a vehicle for tentatively carving out “some” of the German lands for the Poles (Churchill cautioned to all concerned to not stuff the Polish Goose too full of German Lands, but he was ignored by the Amis und the Russkies; however, (for example) Truman took the position that nothing the Soviets attempted was permanent, since that was the responsibility of the Final German WW2 Peace Conference -- Truman assumed he would still be in power when it occurred and not Dead (Truman died 26 Dec 1972, 18 years before his eagerly awaited German WW2 Peace Treaty - which took place in 1990. -- Look up "Two Plus Four" Treaty). International Law didn't fully recognize "interim" arrangements because of the Future German Peace Treaty Final Contingency.
