Oh they did want to do that for much of the time, once they even
claimed the railway lines in West Berlin were East German territory.

The GDR did never have to claim that. This was a fact created by the
occupation statues.

When Schumacher and other West German politicians diveded the county
and Berlin itself, they carefully avoided to challenge the occupation
regime and had kept the Berlin Generaldirektion of the Reichsbahn (or
how that was called) intact.

You don't even know the history of your own country yet you presume to
lecture others on their history.
