A Forgotten Legacy of the Second World War: GI children in post-war Britain and Germany

Whether in war, occupation or peacekeeping, whenever foreign soldiers are in contact with the local population, and in particular with local women, some of these contacts are intimate. Between 1942 and 1945, US soldiers fathered more than 22,000 children in Britain, and during the first decade of post-war US presence in West Germany more than 37,000 children were fathered by American occupation soldiers. Many of these children were raised in their mothers’ families, not knowing about their biological roots and often suffering stigmatisation and discrimination. The question of how these children were treated is discussed in the context of wider social and political debates about national and individual identity. Furthermore, the effect on the children of living outside the normal boundaries of family and nation is discussed.

‘Staying in the Game’: Harold Macmillan and Britain’s World Role

When Harold Macmillan resigned from office in 1963, his public reputation as the elegant and unflappable ‘Supermac’ had been tarnished by scandal and apparent incompetence. It took more than two decades for that reputation to recover when, as Lord Stockton, he was acclaimed on his return to the British political stage, now equipped, in Lord Jenkin’s words, with ‘the essential appurtenances of venerable sagacity and elderly wit\ When he died in 1986, The Times hailed him as Disraeli’s true heir, commenting that ‘both men combined the radical and the traditional in their politics and thus were able to persuade Conservative parties to carry through far reaching changes of policy at home and abroad.’
