To the discussion of post-1945 Culture, I'd just like to add: Jost Hermand
wrote a very fulsome study 5-6 years ago on the topic that deals with it
on a number of levels, including the "Rahmenbedingungen," and making much
more impressively the response that I would make to the comment that
"there wasn't much culture." At any time, in any place, there's always
plenty of it, just not necessarily the "high" kind that we associate with
too narrow a conception of the word.

Another text that might be of use is Gerhard Hay (ed.), Zur literarischen
Situation 1945-1949.  Published 1977, I don't know the publisher.
