Legacies of Stalingrad Remembering the Eastern Front in Germany Since 1945

"All too often, scholars of postwar Germany confuse the part for the whole by generalizing on the basis of its Western half. But as Christina Morina shows in her sensitively written book, it is impossible to understand how postwar Germans selectively remembered the war and their many victims without accounting for the asymmetry and interaction of rival eastern and western memory regimes. Legacies of Stalingrad is a major achievement of research and reconceptualization that historians of contemporary Europe cannot afford to miss." - A. Dirk Moses, author of German Intellectuals and the Nazi Past (Cambridge 2007)
