German Federal Republic

"German Federal Republic" (Deutsche Bundesrepublik, DBR) was one of the terms used in September 1949 by the communist German Democratic Republic to refer to the Federal Republic of Germany (inverting the word order of the official name Bundesrepublik Deutschland). After 1968, the GDR tended to use the initialism "BRD" instead.
