Sommario/riassunto

This is an archive-based study examining how the four Allies - Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union - prepared for and conducted their occupation of Germany after its defeat in 1945. It uses the case of public health to shed light on the complexities of the immediate post-war period.
