Description
The American military occupation of Germany lasted five years. During this time, Germany made great strides along the road from fascism to democracy, Europe became the fulcrum of the Cold War, and the United States emerged as a global superpower. This book corrects numerous misunderstandings and fills many gaps in our knowledge about the occupation. It challenges the prevailing narrative of American softness on former Nazis and brings to light the contribution of Army Intelligence to a peaceful resolution of the Soviet blockade of the Western sectors of Berlin in 1948-1949. Army Intelligence was not merely a supporting actor in the occupation, it shaped the American presence in Germany. By suppressing Nazi subversion and monitoring the German Communist Party, intelligence provided breathing space for the fledgling German democracy. In creating a pro-American West German intelligence service, the Army's covert operatives established a lasting security link between victor and vanquished. Without Army Intelligence, postwar Germany and the history of the Cold War would have looked very different.
