Who was Otto Grotewohl?
Otto Grotewohl was a German politician and prime minister of the German Democratic Republic from 1949 until his death. According to Roth, "He was a figurehead who led various economic commissions, lobbied the Soviets for increased aid, and conducted foreign policy tours in the attempt to break the country's diplomatic isolation." At critical moments in East Germany he was passive and never took sides in the internal battles of the SED party.
