Hello,
"Red Army" was officially renamed "Soviet Army" in 1946 !

We don't use terms like "Middle Germany" and "German Democratic Republic" in English and this is the English Wikipedia. PMA 22:23, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
"Cassell's Dictionary of Modern German History" uses "German Democratic Republic" ("the formal name of the East German state of 1949-90") as does Mary Fulbrook's "20th Century Germany", and Langenscheidt Muret-Sanders Großwörterbuch Deutsch-English, 2004 gives the translation of "Deutsche Demokratische Republik" as "German Democratic Republic", with no mention of "East Germany".

It is outrageous that PMA, a person with apparently no knowledge of Germany, is being allowed to vandalize this page and protect the vandalized version.
Haso, Germany in 1800s ???
I am doing research on my German ancestors. The surname is BUECHNER. I think they may have been from the Oldenburgh, area of Germany (Niedersachsen). When they emigrated to the USA in 1853, the ship list said that they were from "Haso" Germany/Prussia. Can anyone tell me where this little village is? Is it still a village today?
