-   At first each allied force controlled an "occupation zone" of Germany and of Berlin
-   The Soviets tried to push their ideals of Communism onto the Germans, so Prime Minister Churchill split up Germany into the West (Britain, France, and USA) and the East (Russia)
-   The Soviets became known as the GDR (East) and the rest of the allies became the BRD (West).

Jessica Borucki- I would try to escape, if it they say it's impossible. I would do anything to see my family and to get away. I would either, swim or somehow get on a hot air balloon.

I think I would try and get bullet proof armor and a bunch of meat. I feed the meat to the dogs and have an army of doggos. I would risk anything to see my family if they were on the other side and anyone else I care about. -Annika Kohls

Carson Johnson I would attempt to flee to West Germany during this time because I would want to be in a place where I'm not constantly monitored by the patrol. When watching the videos, it looked like the people were in distress. If my whole family was i  the West and I was isolated in the east, I would try to escape because at the time, I wouldn't have known when
