in 1949, west germany (federal republic of germany) was formed from the french, british and american zones, while the soviet zone formed east germany (german democratic republic). the western territory of germany fell under the protection of the nato alliance in the west, while the eastern state joined the warsaw pact. each state possessed its own military force, with eastern germany formed along the soviet model and federal germany adopting a more 'western' organisation. the allied zones of berlin became de facto part of the federal republic of germany despite the city's location deep in the german democratic republic. that resulted in a special situation for berlin, i.e. the draft was not in effect in west berlin. this condition continued until 1990 when the two states were reunited.
