Edward Aitken-Davies (1899-1981) served as an Education Control
Officer in the British Zone of occupied Germany from the early
summer of 1945 until December 1949. He thus experienced the
implementation of policy in the Zone from the very beginnings of
the occupation until the founding of the Federal Republic of German
y in 1949. During the period 1945 to 1947 he wrote weekly letters
home to his mother. Those letters, together with the many speeches
he gave in Germany during his time as a leading British officer in
the Hanover region have not hitherto been available to researchers
but can now be made accessible in edited form. The letters are
placed in the context of developments in British policy and with
explanatory notes on the detail. Taken together, his letters and
other documents provide insights into the day-to-day lives of the
impressive group of individuals who oversaw the development of
education in Germany from post-war chaos to the reform and
stability which restored the education system of the country to a
pre-eminent status in Europe.
