In 1945, Germany experienced the greatest outburst of deadly
violence that the world has ever seen. Germany 1945 examines the
country's emergence from the most terrible catastrophe in modern
history. When the Second World War ended, millions had been
murdered; survivors had lost their families; cities and towns had
been reduced to rubble and were littered with corpses. Yet people
lived on, and began rebuilding their lives in the most inauspicious
of circumstances. Bombing, military casualties, territorial loss,
economic collapse and the processes of denazification gave Germans
a deep sense of their own victimhood, which would become central to
how they emerged from the trauma of total defeat, turned their
backs on the Third Reich and its crimes, and focused on a
transition to relative peace. Germany's return to humanity and
prosperity is the hinge on which Europe's twentieth century turned.
For years we have concentrated on how Europe slid into tyranny,
violence, war and genocide; this book describes how humanity began
to get back out.
