East Germany
Index
The authors wish to acknowledge their use and adaptation of
substantial portions of the 1982 edition of East Germany: A
Country Study, which was edited by Eugene K. Keefe. The
authors of the 1982 edition whose work was used in this edition
were as follows: Rosalyn L. Unger, "Historical Setting"; Sallie
M. Hicks, "The Society and Its Environment"; William P. Baxter,
"National Security"; and Carl H. McMillan, "The Council for
Mutual Economic Assistance." The authors are also grateful to E.
Wayne Merry of the Department of State, who provided information
and insights on East German affairs. Robert E. McKeown and Scott
McKnight furnished their expertise on the National People's Army.
None of the individuals is responsible for the contents of this
edition, however.
In addition, the authors express their appreciation to
members of the Federal Research Division staff who made
significant contributions to the preparation of this study. The
authors owe special thanks to Richard Nyrop, who supplied
invaluable help and suggestions at all stages of the production
process. Thanks go also to Marilyn L. Majeska, who edited the
manuscript and oversaw its production, and to editorial
assistants Barbara Edgerton and Izella Watson, who helped prepare
the manuscript. Invaluable graphics support was provided by David
P. Cabitto and his assistants, Sandra K. Cotugno and Kimberly A.
Lord. Thanks are owed to Susan M. Lender, who reviewed the map
drafts, and Harriett R. Blood, who prepared the final maps. Stan
Sciora furnished detailed information on the ranks and insignia
of the East German armed forces, in addition to the forces of the
other members of the Warsaw Pact. The index was prepared by
Editorial Experts, and Andrea T. Merrill performed the final
prepublication review. Diann J. Johnson, of the Library of
Congeess Composing Unit, prepared the camera-ready copy under the
supervision of Peggy Pixley.
Finally, the authors wish to note the generosity of
individuals and private agencies who provided photographs for use
in this book. The authors are especially grateful for original
work not previously published.
