Soviet occupation zone of Germany which was in the process of becoming the
German Democratic Republic (East Germany). In 1946 Egemann relocated to
Aschersleben in
Saxony-Anhalt and undertook a period of practical work-related training before accepting a job with what was becoming the
East German Railway organisation (DDR).
