Germany. After the war, Germany would be split into four occupied zones, with a quadripartite
occupation of Berlin as well, prior unification of Germany.
Stalin agreed to let France have the fourth occupation zone in Germany and Austria,
carved out from the British and American zones. France would also be granted a seat in the
Allied Control Council.
The status of Poland was discussed, but was complicated by the fact that Poland
was at this time under the control of the Red Army. It was agreed to reorganize the Provisionary
Polish Government that had been set up by the Red Army through the inclusion of other groups
such as the Polish Provisional Government of National Unity and to have democratic elections.

The Polish eastern border would follow the Curzon Line, and Poland would
receive substantial territorial compensation in the west from Germany, although the exact border
was to be determined at a later time.
