The cultural legacy of the air war on Germany is explored in this
comparative study of two bombed cities from different sides of the
subsequently divided nation. Contrary to what is often assumed,
Allied bombing left a lasting imprint on German society, spawning
vibrant memory cultures that can be traced from the 1940s to the
present. While the death of half a million civilians and the
destruction of much of Germany's urban landscape provided 'usable'
rallying points in the great political confrontations of the day,
the cataclysms were above all remembered on a local level, in the
very spaces that had been hit by the bombs and transformed beyond
recognition. The author investigates how lived experience in the
shadow of Nazism and war was translated into cultural memory by
local communities in Kassel and Magdeburg struggling to find ways
of coming to terms with catastrophic events unprecedented in living
memory.
