The incidents sparked a firestorm of complaints. Critics soon began posting images of cross-border parallel traders with numerous oversized goods who seemed to be travelling with impunity while local musicians were stopped.

The country’s thinkers and artists also had to reconcile with the trauma of war, search for a more positive national identity, and do what they could to forge a new direction for German art, thought, and society.
