Postwar responses to black occupation children represent a formative moment in the racial reconstruction of postfascist Germany. Military occupation between 1945 and 1949 produced some 94,000 occupation children. However, official and public attention fixed on a small subset, the so-called "farbige Mischlinge" or "colored mixed-bloods," distinguished from the others by their black paternity. Although they constituted a small minority of postwar German births-numbering only about 3,000 in 1950 and nearly double that by 1955-West German federal and state officials, youth welfare workers, and the press invested the children with considerable symbolic significance.
