How did Germany deal with the East German communist Government structure after unification?
score:10
Accepted answer
Technically, West Germany (the FRG) did not annex East Germany (the GDR). Instead, the GDR declared their accession to the FRG. A treaty regulated the details.
- The GDR had a post-communist government for about a year. They did disassemble much of the political security apparatus and also acted to prevent the destruction of some documents.
- The vetting of personnel was done through the Stasi Records Agency.
- The more senior police, military, judiciary, and administrators were pensioned. Their pensions were much less than comparable West German officials would get, but they got some money in D-Mark (and later Euros). It is anybody's guess how the purchasing power compares with what the GDR would have paid in Ostmark.
- Juniors could stay on, but their careers slowed down. Recently a former Volksarmee officer made General in the unified German army -- two decades after Reunification.
