In my point of view is the tanslation of "Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands" with "Socialist Unity Party" misleading - "United Socialist Party" would be more appropriate...

The term Einheitspartei can as well be considered in the way, that the party's will was to fight for a reunification, as in the way, that the Party is the united party of the socialist movement of Germany. --134.2.223.216 7 July 2005 02:10 (UTC)


Ugh. That image is ever so slightly (well, about 10 times) too large. -- Morwen.

Fixed - reduced from 1436px wide to 300px (on the page) and 750 px (larger version). --rbrwr

[edit] Merge into Left Party (Germany)

Shouldn't this article be merged into Left Party (Germany)? If PDS was the direct legal succession of SED, then there should only be one article for the entire history of the party. --Soman 01:31, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

The PDS is the successor of the SED in the end. This article is about the party that ruled alone, so I think there is no need for a merger --SoWhy 19:03, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

To merge is out of the question I think. the PDS article would be overwieghted without a reason.--Constanz - Talk 10:48, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
