| Nov 22, 2014 at 13:55 | comment | added | Hot Licks | In the US I think it was usually "West Germany", unless that was clear from the context. (Eg, if someone said "I'm going to fly to Germany next week" most listeners would assume West Germany, but if speaking of the government it would have been "the West German government".) In fact, I recall that it seemed a little odd, after the "reunification", that the "West" was missing all the time. | |
