Meer over het boek

From Crusade to Hazard: The Denazification of Bremen Germany explains how American and British combat forces and military government officers occupied, administered, and denazified Bremen and its environs from 1945 to 1947. Legislation was determined first by the Americans, then by the British, and then again by the Americans, and the three distinct phases of this process profoundly affected the city. Throughout, denazification teams tried to find a middle ground between the American dictum to radically purge the whole population and the less ambitious British goal to jettison only the administration.
