Handbook of Legislation & Rules Military Government Greater Berlin British Area of Control 1945
Twenty offences incurring a potential death sentence as laid out in a document from July 1945 originating in the Allied Kommandatura, and signed by Colonel General AV Gorbatov, USSR, Major General FL Parks, USA and Major General LO Lyne, Great Britain. Note the absence of a French representative, at this time they were still demanding a slice of Berlin. The Soviet Government refused to make any adjustment to their sector to accommodate the French, so the Americans and British gave up part of theirs, hence the Western Allied sectors being smaller than the Soviet Sector.
One evening, in July 1994, shortly before posting back to UK to the Joint Arms Control Implementation Group, I was walking past HQ British Military Government in London Block and noted a skip outside into which they were throwing out a lot of their "rubbish", including this handbook. I helped myself to a bit of Berlin History, taking several various booklets from 1945 to the 1971 Quadripartite Agreement which governed inter-allied procedures during my time in Berlin.
