German "Zones of Occupation" (5 juin 1945 – 7 oct. 1949)

Description:

After the war, it was decided at the Yalta Conference that Germany and Austria would be divided into four occupation zones: Soviet, American, French and British. Each of the major powers was the sole political and legal authority in its zone. The German capital of Berlin, despite being deep inside the Soviet occupation area, was also to be split into four separate zones. The four powers would also work together via the Berlin-based Allied Control Council, formed in August 1945, which would oversee matters relating to the whole of Germany. These zones of occupation helped rebuild the country, de-nazify the country, and help attempt to prosecute those involved in the holocaust and those accused of war crimes.
