As our two founding editors write in this issue, at its inception, German History fulfilled a dual purpose. First, it arose from the need to find a home for a growing body of scholarship on German history produced and debated in the United Kingdom, not least under the aegis of the German History Society. Second, the journal was set up with a certain sense of mission, designed to showcase an innovative brand of German history writing, which was at variance, to some extent at least, with that predominantly published in the American-based Central European History. Since then, much has changed.
