The period 1945-1949 is generally acknowledged as a critical period
for the German people and their collective history. But it did not,
Manfred Malzahn argues, lead inevitably to the construction of the
Berlin Wall. As in 1989, so in 1945 the German people were prepared
to break away from established patterns, to reassess, if need be,
what it meant to be German. Then, as now, Germans East and West
wanted order and stability; food, shelter, clothing and work. Using
numerous documents from the immediate post-war years, Malzahn
rescues the period from the burden of selective hindsight and
nostalgia that has obscured the contemporary situation. The
documents, which have been fully annotated, reflect life at all
levels from politics to fashion, and contain both Allied and German
viewpoints. They are bound together by an emphasis on
communication, on Allied/German interaction, and on the Germans'
dialogue with their past and expressions of their aspirations.
