This final chapter reassesses the overall mental climate between 1945 and 1949, and gauges it against other crises in the history of mentality. There is a surprising continuity and homogeneity. A common sense of injustice was the potent unifier in occupied Germany. The reconstruction of physics in post-war Germany produced new democratic structures and a firm sense of social responsibility.
Keywords: mental climate, occupied Germany, history of mentality, crises, reconstruction, social responsibility
