  • Insel Schwanenwerder
    Insel Schwanenwerder Eine Insel als Villenkolonie Friedrich Wilhelm Wessel, ein wohlhabender Petroleumlampenfabrikant, der eine Villa am hoch gelegenen Wannseeufer besaß und täglich auf die damals noch „Cladower Sandwerder“ genannte Insel herabblicken konnte, erwarb 1882 das von der Havel umgebene Eiland vom Rittergutsbesitzer Parzellierungsplan Hugo von Platen. Er ließ die Inselfläche erheblich aufschütten um 1900 und parzellieren. Die Einzelgrundstücke bot er zum Kauf und zum Bau von Landhäusern an. Schwanenwerder war ein typisches Spekulationsprojekt der Gründerzeit. Gleichzeitig wollte Wessel etwas Einmaliges schaffen. Die gesamte Insel sollte dem Zeitgeschmack entsprechend zu einem Ort romantischer Inszenierung in üppiger Natur werden. Zu diesem Zweck gab der Insel- besitzer den Bau eines großflächig ange- legten Gemeinschaftsparks mit abwechs- lungsreichem Baum- und Strauchbestand in Auftrag. Er ließ Skulpturen aufstellen, darunter auch ein Fragment aus dem Familie Wessel Pariser Schloss, die „Tuilerien-Säule“. Sichtachsen bezogen die um 1890 umgebende Havellandschaft in die künstlich geschaffene Natur- szenerie ein. Friedrich Wilhelm Wessel beantragte, seine Insel „Schwanenwerder“ nennen zu dürfen, was ihm erst 1901 vom Kaiser genehmigt wurde. Der neue Name entsprach der Exklusivität des Ortes. Die Insel sollte das bürgerliche Gegenstück zur gegenüber- liegenden kaiserlichen Pfaueninsel sein. Die künftigen Bauherren durften die Grund - stücke nur zu privaten Wohnzwecken nutzen, selbst der Betrieb von Gaststätten oder Heilanstalten war untersagt. Dadurch Inselzufahrt wurde der Charakter der Insel als Rückzugsraum unterstrichen. mit Wasserturm um 1910 Wegen der Abgeschiedenheit und fehlender Infrastruktur kam der Grundstücksverkauf jedoch nur schleppend voran. Um 1900 waren nur vier Parzellen bebaut. Obwohl Wessel eine hölzerne Brücke als Verbindung zum Festland erbauen und einen Straßen- zubringer anlegen ließ, blieb die Kutschfahrt nach Berlin ein unbequemes und zeitauf- wändiges Unterfangen.

  • Robert Harris • Enigma
    LITERARY BITS Module 2 WORKING IN DIGITAL ROBERT HARRIS • ENIGMA ABOUT THE AUTHOR ROBERT HARRIS Robert Harris was born in Nottingham, UK, in 1957. After graduating at Cambridge, he worked as a journalist for the BBC and assisted on shows that covered important current events. He became a political commentator, was the editor of The Observer, a UK political paper, and wrote articles on politics in many other newspapers. He started his writing career in the 1980s and since then he has written a number of fictional thrillers, often related to political events, and eight novels have become bestsellers. He wrote novels related to World War Two such as ‘Fatherland’ (1992), his first bestseller, and ‘Enigma’ (1995), but also stories set in other historical periods like ‘Pompeii’ (2003). R. Harris ABOUT THE NOVEL ENIGMA The novel is a blend between a historical novel and a mystery novel which mixes up reality and fiction. The story is set in 1943 when much of Nazi Enigma Code has already been cracked. However, Shark, the impenetrable cipher used to hide the movements of the U-boats, the German submarines, to the Allies, is still a mystery. A top secret team of British cryptographers led by the brilliant mathematician Tom Jericho has the task of deciphering it. They succeed in breaking the code, but unfortunately the Germans change it. As an Allied convoy crosses the North Atlantic Ocean full of U-boats, Jericho has to solve three mysteries with the help of his girlfriend’s roommate who is on the convoy: the code, whether his girlfriend Claire is a spy and if she has been murdered.

  • American Intelligence and the Question of Hitler's Death
    American Intelligence and the Question of Hitler’s Death Undergraduate Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with honors research distinction in History in the Undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Kelsey Mullen The Ohio State University November 2014 Project Advisor: Professor Alice Conklin, Department of History Project Mentor: Doctoral Candidate Sarah K. Douglas, Department of History American Intelligence and the Question of Hitler’s Death 2 Introduction The fall of Berlin marked the end of the European theatre of the Second World War. The Red Army ravaged the city and laid much of it to waste in the early days of May 1945. A large portion of Hitler’s inner circle, including the Führer himself, had been holed up in the Führerbunker underneath the old Reich Chancellery garden since January of 1945. Many top Nazi Party officials fled or attempted to flee the city ruins in the final moments before their destruction at the Russians’ hands. When the dust settled, the German army’s capitulation was complete. There were many unanswered questions for the Allies of World War II following the Nazi surrender. Invading Russian troops, despite recovering Hitler’s body, failed to disclose this fact to their Allies when the battle ended. In September of 1945, Dick White, the head of counter intelligence in the British zone of occupation, assigned a young scholar named Hugh Trevor- Roper to conduct an investigation into Hitler’s last days in order to refute the idea the Russians promoted and perpetuated that the Führer had escaped.1 Major Trevor-Roper began his investigation on September 18, 1945 and presented his conclusions to the international press on November 1, 1945.

His work has been translated into thirty- seven languages. Robert Harris has done a splendid job. Odilo Globocnik boasts that Auschwitz and the other camps have been totally razed, and March will never know the truth for certain. Another significant divergence is the political career of Kennedy, who was, in real life, disgraced in during the Battle of Britain. Now obsessed by the case, March teams up with a beautiful, young American journalist and starts asking questions The department specifically deals with threats of terrorism, whereas national security encompasses a broader range of issues. The book had several different plots intertwining which created a lot of suspense. Retrieved 24 August The ending did not seem very well rounded. He makes the story and setting accessible to everyone and it was a joy to read. Within the British Empire , many natives in the colonies came to think of Britain as the mother country of one, large nation. The action of the novel takes place from 14 to 20 April , as Germany prepares for Hitler's 75th birthday celebrations on the latter date. I appear to be a definite minority in my opinion but had to voice it anyway. Since history is so interesting I often wonder why I pick up a a"what if" book based on a mix of fact and fiction. March himself is a part of the system and faces the unique challenge of seeking the truth in an environment that is both hostile and fatal for the seekers of certain truths.

The Enemy Within: Homosexuality in the Third Reich, 1933-1945 Abstract From 1933 to 1945, the Nazi regime in Germany ruthlessly targeted homosexuals, particularly men, as enemies of the state. While Nazi doctrine officiallyepudiated r same-sex romance, actual policy toward homosexuals in the Third Reich was by no means consistent. This paper examines the components of Nazi racial doctrines and the subtle ways in which the hyper-masculine ethos of the regime in fact encouraged male bonding and homosexual behavior.
