<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fid, post: 4390598, member: 7724&quot;]sadly many people don&#039;t realize that there was never a legal definition of Germany by the courts.</p><p>although the industry in the western sector tried to protect Made in Germany/ Germany in court (Bundesgerichtshof Karlsruhe) to define and limit it to their advantage and exclude the GDR, this was refused by the court because it was in contradiction to the constitution of the FDR (Federal Republic of Germany) which made a claim of being the sole and only successor of the old Reich; the court practically told them to f.u. and deal with it, although it was understandable that it was a harassment because many GDR companies used &quot;Germany&quot; to deceive importers to markets like the USA because there was an anti-comniss hysteria there. (pssht, even Einstein kept his Swiss passport hidden just in case...)</p><p>I don&#039;t know if there was a recent revision; last discussion was around 1980s. with the unification in 1989/1990 the question was obsolete.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
