[edit] 2002-2004

There seems to be nothing here but the text of the Potstdam agreement itself. This should be an article about the Potsdam agreement, discussing its implications and history and all that kind of stuff, not a dump of the text. Bryan Derksen, Saturday, April 13, 2002


Well, now that the text has been moved off, wouldn't it be nice to have some article about the agreement rather than a stub, as Bryan Derksen suggessted? Anyway, in the meantime, this change seems problematic:

Initiative Potsdamer Abkommen This is a website of the antifa/inipa group, which was organized by the SED communist GDR German Democratic Republic.

Annotating references isn't a bad thing; there should be more of it. But is this accurate? In fact, exactly what is it? "the SED communist GDR" doesn't mean anything to me. Perhaps it's supposed to mean"the SED, successor to the communist party of the GDR"? And even so, we perhaps need some documentation of the connection. The text on the site uses "anti-fascist" pretty heavily, but otherwise is it characteristically the old GDR line? Dandrake 20:58, Jan 28, 2004 (UTC)


Some of the paraphrased information in this article doesn't even match the sources at the bottom of the page. I only glanced over it, but the biggest thing I saw was VII. Austria - where the article here states that Austria should pay reparations, whereas the actual agreement states "It was agreed that reparations should not be exacted from Austria."
