Between 1945 and 1950, approximately 130,000 Germans were interned
in the Soviet zone of occupied Germany, including in former Nazi
concentration camps. One third of detainees died, prompting
comparisons with Nazi terror. But what about the western zones,
where the Americans, British, and French also detained hundreds of
thousands of Germans without trial? This first in-depth study
compares internment by all four occupying powers, asking who was
interned, how they were treated, and when and why they were
arrested and released. It confirms the incomparably appalling
conditions and death rates in the Soviet camps but identifies
similarities in other respects. Andrew H. Beattie argues that
internment everywhere was an inherently extrajudicial measure with
punitive and preventative dimensions that aimed to eradicate Nazism
and create a new Germany. By recognising its true nature and
extent, he suggests that denazification was more severe and
coercive but also more differentiated and complex than previously
thought.
