Synopsis

Established in 1951 when West Germany was still de-militarized, the Bundesgrenzschutz (BGS) was a federal border guard that became re-unified Germany's first national police force. This book is a social history that argues that the BGS revived authoritarian traditions of militarized policing and kept them alive long into the postwar era when the country was supposedly consigning these problematic legacies to its past. The study deals explicitly with post-fascist West Germany's struggle to establish a democratic police force and complicates the writing of the Federal Republic's history as a "success story."
