Why was it called the GDR and not the DDR?

Because in English the term for the central European state is Germany, not Deutschland.

>>2063970
This. Fucking retarded anglos.

>>2063978
Where would the world without Anglos? yeah that's right, faggot.

>>2063980

>>2063984
For you krauts, yes, because then there wouldn't be a superior race to fuck you in the ass all the time :)

>>2063966
I only know it as DDR...

Is GDR an American thing?

>>2063977
They didn't call themselves the GDR in Germany, they called themselves the DDR, look at a photo of their 40th anniversary

>>2064069
They called themselves Deutsche Demokratische Republik. The short form was used outside the country, mainly in the Bundesrepublik who referred to herself as such or just as Deutschland. Unthinkable to actually write BRD in an official document or say school exam. BRD was used by the DDR.

Here's a funny question from /x/.

Why the hell did they add a Masonic compass to the Hammer and Sickle?

>fucking weird man it's aliens!
