Jup, also helpful to remember how the western allies helped capitalists from the soviet zone move their capital(money, machinery and so on) to the other three zones), further depleting the future GDRs wealth and increasing the FDRs.

Also an interesting tidbit is how reperation demands to the FDR were often unilaterally dropped, by the western allies and the FDR declaring them to be settled. The affected countries weren't asked. Greece got nothing, all of eastern europe did not see a cent. This also lifted a huge fincancial burden of the FDR.
