Wolfszeit by Harald Jähner
Deutschland und die Deutschen 1945–1955
A vivid cultural and social portrait of Germany in the decade after 1945, tracing how ordinary people lived through physical ruin, hunger, homelessness and moral dislocation as cities, economies and institutions were rebuilt. The book combines reportage, archival evidence and anecdotes to show how scarcity, black markets, violence, sexual encounters, denazification, cultural revival and the emerging Cold War shaped everyday behavior, language and attitudes, producing both compromises and new possibilities. It argues that this turbulent ‘in-between’ decade forged much of the postwar German identity on both sides of the Iron Curtain.
