...country and-at least by its own statistics-ranks as the world's tenth biggest industrial power, eighth in production of TV sets, seventh in chemicals, fifth in exports of office machines. From such plants as the Leuna chemical works at Merseburg and the Carl Zeiss works at Jena-mostly established before World War II and rebuilt after bombings and Soviet dismantling-skilled workers turn out an array of petrochemicals, computers and heavy machines for the entire Eastern bloc...

Shifting from university to university in the continental manner, Glueck studied Eastern lore at Heidelberg and Berlin, got a Ph.D. at Jena with a formidable thesis entitled Das Wort Hesed im alttestamentlichen Sprachgebrauche (The Word Grace in Old Testament Usage).

...better export industries that have risen from the ruins is the mammoth Carl Zeiss optical works at Jena. Forty percent bombed out during the war and dismantled by the Russians, it was rebuilt by the Germans, now makes cameras, binoculars and scientific instruments on a par with the West's. Machines approaching Western standards and below Western prices are coming from the more efficient nationalized factories, among them Magdeburg's Ernst Thalmann Heavy Machine Works, which the East Germans pieced together with infinite patience from scavenged old machinery and parts imported and smuggled from the West.
