With the unleashing of a \u003cbr\u003esecond world war, and the purposeful mass murder of around six million \u003cbr\u003ehuman beings in unprecedented industrial genocide, the collapse from \u003cbr\u003edemocracy into dictatorship has understandably aroused the most virulent\u003cbr\u003e historical controversies. The years since 1945 have to an extent been \u003cbr\u003elived in the shadow of the earlier period, but also of course in their \u003cbr\u003eown right with their own peculiarities, none more pronounced than the \u003cbr\u003ecreation of two Germanies, the FRG and GDR, one democracy, one \u003cbr\u003edictatorship, ideological foes in the Cold War. The controversies \u003cbr\u003eattaching to the later period are (as yet?) less heated but the \u003cbr\u003equestions are no less insistent. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is extraordinarily difficult for any single historian to do justice \u003cbr\u003eto changes so varied, complex and controversial.
