On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the GenerationenTreff Ulm/Neu-Ulm e. V., Fritz Glauninger compiled this volume of eyewitness accounts about Ulm for the years 1944 to 1948. Thirteen authors contribute to this unique collection of personal memories of the end of the war and the immediate post-war period in and around Ulm. In an afterword, city archivist Ulrich Seemüller places the events in Ulm within the context of that time, which likely encompassed the most difficult years for the Danube city.
