Powojenne losy Niemców, Pierwsze lata powojenne to dla jednych „dziki kontynent”, dla innych „wielka trwoga”, dla Niemców „wilczy czas” – czas, w którym cały naród musiał dokonać przewartościowania swych postaw i stworzyć fundamenty demokratycznego państwa. Harald Jähner ukazuje Niemców w całej ich różnorodności: pisarza Alfreda Döblina, który w swej twórczości próbował kreować nowych, nieobarczonych przeszłością obywateli, Beate Uhse – twórczynię pierwszego sex-shopu na świecie, bezimiennych handlarzy z lucky strike’ami w kieszeniach i stylowe gospodynie domowe. „Czas wilka” to również opowieść o krajobrazie wszechobecnych ruin, o masowych migracjach ludności, o silnych afektach i emocjach. O kształtowaniu nowej gospodarki rynkowej w cieniu grabieży i czarnego rynku, o generacji Garbusa. Ale też o systematycznym wypieraniu prawdy o Zagładzie. To barwna historia pierwszej powojennej dekady pokonanych Niemiec, która położyła podwaliny pod niemiecki rozwój gospodarczy, „cudu, że się udało”.
