¹ Federal-state relations, Polish administration of the territory east of the Oder-Neisse Line, and the Saar are not covered in this bibliography. Moreover, space does not permit much discussion of Berlin, East Germany, and Allied military government (1944–1949). A standard work on postwar Berlin is Plischke, Elmer, Berlin: Development of Its Government and Administration (Bad Godesberg, Office of the U. S. High Commissioner for Germany, 1952)Google Scholar which includes an English translation of the West Berlin constitution of 1950. In the German Democratic Republic, state and local governments have fared as badly as they did under the Nazi regime, the states being abolished in 1952. Some comment on the subject is found in Kurt Glaser's chapter in Litchfield's volume (cited above in the text), and in a chapter in Nettl, J. P., The Eastern Zone and Soviet Policy in Germany, 1945–1950 (New York, Oxford University Press, 1951)Google Scholar. On allied military government, see Clay, Lucius D., Decision in Germany (Garden City, Doubleday, 1950 Google Scholar; Zink, Harold, American Military Government in Germany (New York, Macmillan, 1947)Google Scholar; Friedmann, Wolfgang G., The Allied Military Government of Germany (London, Stevens, 1947)Google Scholar.

⁴ Koehler, A. and Jansen, K., eds., Die Bundesrepublik, 1954/55 (Berlin, Heymann, 1956)Google Scholar is a directory of the governmental organs of the Federal Republic, the states, and the principal local units. An important source of current municipal data is the Statistisches Jahrbuch deutscher Gemeinden (Brunswick, Waisenhaus), published annually by the Deutscher Städtetag, the association of the larger German cities.

⁵ Among reference works on Germany, one of the most useful on state and local matters is Mehnert, Klaus and Schulte, Heinrich, Deutschland Jahrbuch (Essen, Rheinisches-Westfälisches Verlagskontor, 1st ed., 1949 Google Scholar; 2nd ed., 1953).
