Was the DDR a PUPPET government of the Soviet Union?

They certainly sucked up at least as much as any other Soviet client but the gubmint wasn't installed and run by Moscow nor were the majority of the people agin' it. The one thing that pisses off more former East Germans is that while they wanted more openness, they didn't want their country to disappear.
woof.

There's a difference between a "satellite" and a "puppet state", the latter being nothing but a mouthpiece for the foreign government. It was true that Soviet influence was great but the Kremlin didn't dictate most DDR government actions beyond the continually increasing reparations demands and the alignment of the SED goals with those of the Communist Party in Mother Russia.^
