In this innovative study, Samantha K. Knapton focuses on the lives of Polish displaced persons (DPs) - one of the largest groups in occupied Germany - to shine a spotlight on this interaction for the first time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the everyday experience of clothing, feeding and sheltering to governmental policies and military actions, \u003ci\u003eOccupiers, Humanitarian Workers and the Polish Displaced Persons in British-Occupied Germany\u003c\/i\u003e investigates the impact of occupation on post-war refugees and explores how the birth of state-driven international humanitarianism played a vital role in both the identity of the Polish people and the reconstruction of Germany. To do so, Knapton fuses together archival material and personal collections such as memoirs, letters and diaries to present an account which considers both the macro and micro issues of displacement, occupation and humanitarianism. The result is a sophisticated analysis of Anglo-Polish-German relations in post-war Europe which will be of immense value to all scholars of modern Europe, Polish history, and displacement studies more generally.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamantha K.
