VII. |tConclusion: The Legacy of the U.S. Occupation. 520 Over the last few years, there has been a noticeable increase in studies on the postwar period of Germany, reflecting the crucial importance of these years for an understanding of the developments in the two Germanys. With her study of U.S. occupation policy and its effects on German social and political developments in Frankfurt, Munich, and Stuttgart, Rebecca Boehling offers a most valuable contribution to this debate. She examines the decisions made by the U.S. Military Government regarding German municipal personnel from the first year of the occupation, when all city officials were appointed directly by Military Government or with its explicit approval, through the first postwar municipal elections in 1946 and 1948, when democratic self-government was gradually restored. 520 8 Boehling explores the far-reaching effects of personnel decisions on German political life within the framework of U.S. policies intended to denazify and democratize Germany. The conclusion she draws is that the early local- level German developments under U.S. occupation facilitated economic recovery in a manner that restricted the implementation of political and social goals of democratization. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Military government|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85085203|zGermany|zFrankfurt am Main.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79149017-781 650 0 Military government|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85085203|zGermany|zMunich.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79059670-781 650 0 Military government|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85085203|zGermany|zStuttgart.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79110280-781 650 0 Reconstruction (1939-1951)|zGermany|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85111868|zFrankfurt am Main.|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79149017-781 650 0 Reconstruction (1939-1951)|zGermany|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85111868|zMunich.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79059670-781 650 0 Reconstruction (1939-1951)|zGermany|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85111868|zStuttgart.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79110280-781 650 7 Military government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1021191 650 7 Reconstruction (1939-1951)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1091544 651 0 Frankfurt am Main (Germany)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79149017|xPolitics and government. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002011436 651 0 Munich (Germany)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79059670|xPolitics and government.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002011436 651 0 Stuttgart (Germany)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79110280|xPolitics and government.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002011436 651 7 Germany|zFrankfurt am Main.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1207215 651 7 Germany|zMunich.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1205308 651 7 Germany|zStuttgart.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1206454 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBoehling, Rebecca L., 1955-|tQuestion of priorities.|dProvidence, R.I. : Berghahn Books, 1996 |z1571810358|w(DLC) 96024204|w(OCoLC)34984114 830 0 Monographs in German history ;|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n96050761|vv. 2. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1858989|zOnline eBook.
