Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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. The lasting cultural legacy of the relentless air war on Germany is explored in this comparative study of two bombed cities from different sides of the subsequently divided nation. Intensely remembered on a local level, the bombing has haunted the trajectory of German history from 1940 to the present. This item is printed on demand.
