Abstract

We proved that finite p-groups in the title coincide with finite p-groups all of whose non-abelian subgroups are generated by two elements. Based on the result, finite p-groups all of whose subgroups of class 2 are minimal non-abelian (of the same order) are classified, respectively. Thus two questions posed by Berkovich are solved.
