Dear Platt,
The Allies imposed American/British/French rule on Western Germany, Soviet
rule on Eastern Germany and American rule on Japan. The rules imposed on
Western Germany and on Japan were less incompatible with freedom
re-establishing itself than the rule imposed on Eatern Germany IN SPITE OF
(rather than thanks to) the prolonged and bloody military occupation.
With friendly greetings,
Wim
