Anyone who experienced occupied Germany after World War II, as I did, remembers that the first postwar elections held there were local and regional. In fact, they established what are now the Länder of the Federal Republic of Germany.
像我本人一样，二次大战后经历过德国占领的人都会记得，最初的战后选举仅仅局限在地区的内部。实际上，他们当时建立了如今德意志联邦共和国的雏形。
