Soviet Order Creates Economic Commission in German Zone
The Soviet commander in the Berlin occupied zone ordered an economic commission to run German industry within the Soviet sector, with power to issue binding orders. The move endorses peacetime industry planning but rejects a unified West German government and ties to Western zones. The commission includes Soviet state reps and trade union delegates and will oversee reparations and zone needs. Pravda later claimed Americans were expanding influence in Ruhr and Western Germany.
