In this note we reconstruct a crucial period of Bruno Touschek's life so far scarcely explored, which runs from Summer 1945 to the end of 1946. We shall describe his university studies in Göttingen, placing them in the context of the reconstruction of German science after 1945. The influence of Werner Heisenberg and other prominent German physicists will be highlighted. In parallel, we shall show how the decisions of the Allied powers towards restructuring science and technology in the UK after the war effort, determined Touschek's move to the University of Glasgow in 1947.
