Which narratives arose in the west after the german division in 1949?

by Letervoos

Hi,

For an master assignment, I am writing an essay about the narratives that arose after the unification of Germany in 1990. Because in part of my essay I describe how certain narratives arose during the German division. I am looking for scientific literature on west-german narratives surrounding the German division. I can find a lot about the east, but the west is very difficult.

Does anyone have any tips or directions?

Thanks in advance!
