A simple and obvious matter. That was just a term,rather than a nationality.Both sides thought they were the real Germany,but the DDR(East Germany )didn’t exist any more In the other cases it was a big country that split into smaller territories,but in East Germany’s case it was a smaller country that joined another Edited February 3, 2019 by iris123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion exactly steve roberts. A change of racing licence is not the same thing as changing nationality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
