Lewis eventually realises Rachael and Stefan are having an affair when he hears of her advocating on Stefan's behalf. The situation is complicated by British Forces Germany suspecting Stefan of Werwolf involvement, though it is actually Freda's boyfriend Bertie who is involved. Rachael and Stefan begin having an affair. However, Rachael bonds with Stefan over shared grief: Stefan's wife was killed by Allied bombing. Meanwhile, Freda connects with Bertie, a young German deeply involved in the Werwolf movement. Lewis decides to let Stefan and Freda stay in the house in the attic, a decision that Rachael is initially unhappy with because of her resentment toward Germans over Michael's death. The couple, whose relationship is tense due to their son Michael being killed during the Blitz by German bombing, will be staying in the requisitioned house of German architect Stefan Lubert and his teenage daughter Freda Lubert. Rachael Morgan arrives in the ruins of Hamburg in the bitter German winter to be reunited with her husband Lewis Morgan, a colonel of British Forces Germany charged with rebuilding the shattered city and dealing with violent insurgent Werwolf activities. The Aftermath is set in British occupation zone in post-war Germany in 1945.
