First published in 1947 Russian Zone is a record of the conditions Gordon Schaffer found in the Soviet-occupied zone of Germany during a stay of ten weeks. In that time, he had interviewed scores of Germans in positions of responsibility- ministers of the various provincial governments, leaders of the political parties, of the trade unions, the co-operatives, the cultural bodies, and a host of other organisations. He also met ministers of religion and shop stewards. He talked to the ordinary people in every walk of life. The author tries to set down a story of the Soviet zone which so far has not been told and which the world ought to know to understand the future of Germany and Europe better. This is a fascinating historical document for general readers.
