So who are you accusing of doing the wrong thing: The government of the GDR or the FRG Government, because is it still illegal annexation if the country being annexed signs a legally binding contract that it will become part of germany without a plebiscite.
Maybe it went against the GG of the FDR but then it wouldn't really be an illegal annexation but a different crime if it wasn't against the laws of the GDR or our definitions of annexation might differ.
I'm saying the FRG broke its own laws to annex the DDR. I haven't said that this is inherently "the wrong thing", I note it being illegal because liberals pretend to care about such things.
There is no provision for this in the FRG's provisional constitution at the time. I linked to it and explained the two options already.
