Description
In September 1947 Provost Richard Howard of Coventry Cathedral visited Kiel, as part of a delegation, upon the invitation of Kiel's Lord Mayor Andreas Gayk and the Society of Friends of Coventry. Howard's trip marked the beginning of a friendship between Kiel and Coventry that continues to the present day. The diary that Howard kept during his visit is published here for the first time in full and in German translation. It offers a unique window onto everyday life in Kiel in the immediate postwar period through the eyes of an outsider, an outsider who, moreover, came from Germany's recent enemy England. In addition to the devastation, Howard experienced at first hand the refugee and supply crises, met members of Kiel's clergy and the British military government, enjoyed Kiel's re-emerging cultural life and found himself confronted with the aftermath of National Socialism.
