The Soviet Union (CCCP) controlled East Germany until November 3, 1990. At that time, it was integrated with West Germany under the rule of the Federal Republic of Germany in whole.

Well, Adolf Hitler named Karl Donitz his successor (he was the leader of the Kriegsmarine prior to that), but after he signed the surrender of Germany, the Allies had control of all of Germany.

After the Allies left in 1949, however, the Berlin Wall went up, and two new powers rose with two new leaders.

West Germany was lead by Theodor Heuss, and East Germany was lead by Wilhelm Pieck.

Germany was divided into East and West Germany at the end of World War Two by the 4 major Allies: England, France, United States, and Russia. The first three countries had control of West Germany (split into 3 respective sectors) and Russia had control over all of East Germany. In the years following the end of WWII, Russia (USSR) began to exercise more and more control over East Germany, and built the Berlin Wall, also known as "The Iron Curtain" to keep democratic Ideaology from the West from creeping into their Communist East Germany. This wall remained and divided the German people until the 1980's and shortly after the wall fell, the Soviet Union (Russia) collapsed.
