:damn:

With a name like Castle Bravo, surely you should know who the GDR were? :dead:

In the cold war:

FRD = good guys
GDR = bad guys

:)

FRG, I believe

Funny, I know very few people who use GDR, the usual abbreviation I and most people I know use is DDR...

Just had a look at the document. Quite interesting, but full of officialese. I'd say that instead of translating it myself, I encourage everyone interested to learn German. Would be less of an effort :O:

FRG and GDR were quite common, internationally, DDR was sometimes used outside both Germanies too, but BRD was used rarely, because Westgermany refused to use it due to the fact that it was Eastgerman official terminology.
