This depicts the soviets in tanks, running over East Germany and then seeing a submarine telescope. This ties into the Cold War because it depicts how the US was using secret tactics to infiltrate Germany. The Soviets in tanks ties into what they did in East Germany and the US being secretive in a submarine ship depicts their tactics for getting Germans on their side. It is significant because it proves how the US was still infiltrating Germany, but now their doing it more in secret

Obtaining Copies

If an image is displaying, you can download it yourself. (Some images display only as thumbnails outside the Library of Congress because of rights considerations, but you have access to larger size images on site.)

Alternatively, you can purchase copies of various types through Library of Congress Duplication Services.

1. If a digital image is displaying: The qualities of the digital image partially depend on whether it was made from the original or an intermediate such as a copy negative or transparency. If the Reproduction Number field above includes a reproduction number that starts with LC-DIG..., then there is a digital image that was made directly from the original and is of sufficient resolution for most publication purposes.

2. If there is information listed in the Reproduction Number field above: You can use the reproduction number to purchase a copy from Duplication Services. It will be made from the source listed in the parentheses after the number.
If only black-and-white ("b&w") sources are listed and you desire a copy showing color or tint (assuming the original has any), you can generally purchase a quality copy of the original in color by citing the Call Number listed above and including the catalog record ("About This Item") with your request.

3. If there is no information listed in the Reproduction Number field above: You can generally purchase a quality copy through Duplication Services. Cite the Call Number listed above and include the catalog record ("About This Item") with your request.

Access to Originals

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.

1. Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will be visible on the left.)

Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)

No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.

2. Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?

Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.

No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.

3. If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.

To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.

"The preoccupation of the Soviets with shor ing up the East German regime made it impossible to offer credible moves on German reunification. By accepting Adenauer's framework for a four power conference, the Western powers also signaled their preference for continuity in West German politics and their willingness to enhance the chancellor's international stature. This helped restore Adenauer's credibil ity on the German question, contributing to his landslide victory ." The East German Uprising was significant within the Cold War as it served as a way for which Adenauer, the West German leader, to boost his popularity and while not recognizing the GDR, he also was able to use political maneuvering to still make calls for German unification, allowing him to solidify his position and the stability of the FGR and show the weakness of the rule of the GDR.

Several people were killed and hundreds wounded when the Russians opened fire on East German workers. Some were even run over by tanks in the street.
Soviet leadership responded very aggressively to riots from East Germans wanting more rights and lower work quotas. This sent a signal to the US contradicting the supposed Soviet goal for peace.

The Soviet system opperated on how their best mode of life was in constant fear of nuclear war, whereas the best way of life for the US was tota peace. This caused everyone on the Soviet side to see how life was better in the West, so this was one of the reasons behind why the East Germans wanted to revolt

The huge amount of East Germans moving across the border to the West was growing. The Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs told Semyonov to retain the East German population by using propaganda focusing on the bad lifestyle in West Germany. They also looked into increasing jobs, abandoning mass arrests against civilians and lessing punishments for crimes, and putting extra attention into the agricultural sector. The USSR wanted to keep their population in East Germany. By improving the living conditions, the USSR hoped to retain its population. As the population moves away, so does the economy, so by retaining it, it's the ultimate goal to keep and grow the economy.

The USSR was suffering through a change in leadership and an overall change in government, they were too preoccupied with their own country to focus on others. Since the Soviets were too preoccupied, the focused less on East Germany and were seen as "weak" because there were no competent people in power. The East Germans saw that as an opportunity to revolt.

"Even with the evidence in front of them, the Soviet leaders did not publicly question their own ideology. The ideas of Marxism were still correct - but, they concluded, the people in charge had failed; they had been too hasty, too arbitrary, too hasty, too incompetent" (473). Soviet leaders did not consider the possibility that they could be wrong. If they had, they might have realized the reason for the discontentment of East Germans.
