Abstract
Forty years after the end of the war commemoration days, directly or indirectly related to the armistice, followed one upon the other: Four decades ago the division of Europe into spheres of influence was laid down in Yalta, Hitler’s Germany surrendered unconditionally, the UNO was founded in San Francisco and the “German question” was discussed in Potsdam. Three decades ago the Federal Republic of Germany joined NATO and established diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. Fifteen years ago the Moscow and the Warsaw Pact were concluded. Ten years ago the final acts of Helsinki were signed.
