Abstract
Politics after Hitler has shown that the Allies regularly interfered in the development of a new German party system from 1945 to 1949. The major conclusions of the book are threefold: (1) fear of reaction, revolution, nationalism and fragmentation governed Allied relations with the German parties; (2) these fears led the Allies to try to moderate the German parties and party system; and (3) Allied attempts at moderation so limited German choices at the ballot box between 1946 and 1949, when elections were held under rules promulgated or at least supervised by the Allies, that we must give some credit to the Allies for the birth of a moderate and stable party system.
