Fluctuations in infant mortality rates in Berlin during and after the First World War

"This paper will examine infant mortality in Berlin during and after [World War I].... We argue that the social crisis of war, defeat and postwar instability is reflected in the history of infant mortality in Berlin.... We conclude...that the history of infant mortality in Berlin between 1914 and 1923 is one in which members of marginalized groups, specifically the children of unmarried women, paid an exceptionally high price for the war."
