History Books on Aftermath of WWII?

I have a mild curiosity for World War 2 (Europe theater specifically) and I’ve been reading anything from timeline history, to personal accounts, to extremely detailed info on the history of the SS. However, almost all of these books ends right after the fall of Berlin.

I have little memory from school education or what happened next and the aftermath of the years following, even though I have a pretty good idea.

Are there any books to recommend that covers this part of history?

German Autumn by Stig Dagerman - it's a collection of articles written by the Swedish author as he traveled through Germany in the autumn of 1946.
