So where does Jive fit into all this? My understanding was the G.I.s came to Europe during WWII, bringing their version of swing with them, and when they left, Jive arose out of that. But it's all hearsay, so I don't know if there's any truth to it.

Quite true-- I, among many of my colleagues, were witness to, and became part of that new paradigm.

What you might find interesting-- in the public dance halls ( of which there were many ) Jive/ beebop, was prohibited-- one such venue, roped off a section of the floor where " Jivers" could dance .
It , of ,course, became socially acceptable with time , after severe modification.
