John Röhl, historian of post-Bismarck Germany who wrote an acclaimed study of Kaiser Wilhelm II – obituary
Professor John Röhl, the historian, who has died aged 85, was born to a German father and English mother and endured a fractured early childhood in Germany and Hungary during the Second World War; moving to England after the war, he went on to spend some 50 years engaged in original archival research into the life of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the last German emperor, of whom he published a lavishly praised three-volume biography, in both German and English, running to some 4,000 pages.
