It set out the principles of the Allied occupation of Germany, including demilitarisation, denazification, democratisation, decentralisation and reparations, and approved the transfer of German populations from Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. It also placed the lands east of the Oder–Neisse line under Polish and Soviet administration.
