eration reisswolf. On 15 January 1990, the largest demonstration
occurred at the East Berlin headquarters, as several thousand pro-
testers stormed the complex and demanded the right to inspect their
files, thus adding their voices to the effort that later culminated in the
Bundesbeauftragte für die Unterlagen des Staatssicherheitsdien-

GUNG DYNAMO.MIXED CLAIMS COMMISSION. A joint U.S. and German interwar
arbitration panel, the Mixed Claims Commission was established
according to a treaty signed in Berlin on 10 August 1922. Whereas

early period, Nazi intransigence over claims of sabotage during the
period of U.S. neutrality led to bitter acrimony in the end. See also
