- Summary:
- This study examines the two German governments' attempts from 1949 to 1959 to shape national political identity through state symbols in order to legitimate their rule. It evaluates the extent to which German political culture overcame the Nazi past and points to aspects of a shared heritage upon which today's unified Germany can draw.
