The Allied powers who defeated Nazi Germany in World War II divided the country into four occupation zones from 1945 to 1949. The British zone consisted of Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Lower Saxony and the present-day state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The British military government was based in Bad Oeynhausen.
