Based on two recent publications by the Regius Professors of Modern History in Oxford and Cambridge, Robert and Richard Evans, this review article discusses the long-standing professional relationship of British historians with the European Continent. For several reasons, the early made distinction between British and European history persists to this day, and the latter forms the second, albeit smaller and in the history of historiography often neglected, core of the British historiographical tradition. What is more, both Evanses argue that British scholarship on the history of Continental Europe has been remarkably influential, at home as well as abroad. The reasons for this “success story” are manifold and provide us, among others, with an insight into the diversity of the national “history markets”. It becomes obvious that European historians should engage in a debate on the degree of openness of their communities to insights from outside, because: despite all the claims of internationalisation and globalisation, historians do not always practise what they preach – neither in Britain nor on the Continent.

This article gives a short overview of recent trends in German and international historiography on the German occupation régime in several European countries, mainly France and Poland. Based on bibliographical research, which for a number of reasons proved to be problematic in itself, and a thematic focus aside from the classical political and military history the authors shows that since the end of the Cold War traditional perspectives have slowly but steadily been abandoned and, thus, former taboos tackled, leading to somewhat parallel research trends in different parts of Europe. In this regard, research on the so-called Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia seems to lag behind.
