A review by luellabenkess
Aftermath: Life in the Fallout of the Third Reich, 1945–1955 by Harald Jähner
4.0
A comprehensive account of what happened after WWII in Germany.
This was an interesting account of a subject I knew very little of, some of which never even occurred to me.
The many displaced people to be repatriated interested me the most. The extracts of real accounts gave an authenticity to the chapters.
The journey that Germany took from the end of the war through to rebuilding their lives and economy was not an easy one and this book details how they achieved this.
I found some of the writing repetitive but mostly of good quality.
It opened my eyes to many things I wasn’t aware of and found this book of great use.
Many thanks to the author and NetGalley for gifting me this arc in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
