"the GDR decides to form the new five states of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and Saxony.". To the best of my knowledge these states already existed. May something lost in translation here? Matt58 (talk) 16:34, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- That is a good question! The states were de jure new, as were their borders. GDR had districts, not states. I will write something about that in the article. --Crusader (talk) 19:22, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
