Explanation
After the end of World War II in 1945, Germany was occupied by the Allies and divided into four occupation zones. Each zone was administered by a different victorious power: the USA, the Soviet Union, Great Britain and France. In many representations, these occupation zones are marked on maps with numbers or colors. The question refers to such a representation and wants to know which occupying power belongs to which numbered zone.
