For Michael Kater, with apologies for the slight delay:

There is more on culture after 1945 than it would appear from the helpful
citations offered thus far.  But you referred specifically to the
Trizone, not to postwar Germany as a whole.  On Berlin, a definite
must-see is the very recent work by Wofgang Schievelbusch, entitled "Vor
dem Vorhang".  Sorry I do not have the complete reference here; my copy
of the book is still in Berlin!

In any case, the best recommendation, not only for the postwar period but
also for the earlier ones, is surely one that Michael has also thought
of--to consult the vast outpourings of Germanistik, Kunstwissenschaft
etc., rather than the indeed all too meager efforts of our particular
Zunft.  I have no time now to list titles (Tony Kaes' "From Hitler to
Heimat" comes to mind for film), but take my word for it, they are numerous.
