  • Nationalsozialistische Festkultur in Wiesbaden 1933
    Nationalsozialistische Festkultur in Wiesbaden 1933 Ein Projekt des Leistungskurses Geschichte 12 des Gymnasiums am Mosbacher Berg 2010/11 Diese Broschüre wurde während der Projektwoche im Herbst des Schuljaheres 2010/11 erstellt. Dabei war uns die Leiterin des Wiesbadener Stadtarchivs, Frau Dr. Brigitte Streich, in großzügiger Weise behilflich. Ein herzliches Dankeschön auch an ihre Mitarbeiter, vor allem Herrn Habs, der mit viel Geduld den Schülerinnen und Schülern nicht nur viele gute Tipps gab, sondern uns auch in vielfältiger Weise sachkundig zur Seite stand. Unmittelbar nach dem mit großem Pomp inszenierten Feiertag der „nationalen Arbeit“ wurden reichsweit, also auch in Wiesbaden, die Gewerkschaften gewaltsam zerschlagen und zahlreiche ihrer Verbandsfunktionäre verhaftet und misshandelt. Eine Schülergruppe – unter der Leitung von Frau Antina Manig - hat die Vorgänge am 2. Mai 1933 recherchiert. Bildnachweis: Wenn nicht ausdrücklich anders vermerkt, stammen alle Fotografien aus dem Wiesbadener Stadtarchiv. 2 Inhaltsverzeichnis Einleitung: Nationalsozialistische Festkultur in Wiesbaden 1933 Chronologie der Ereignisse 1933 Wie urteilten die Nationalsozialisten über das Jahr 1933?

  • The German-American Bund: Fifth Column Or
    -41 THE GERMAN-AMERICAN BUND: FIFTH COLUMN OR DEUTSCHTUM? THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By James E. Geels, B. A. Denton, Texas August, 1975 Geels, James E., The German-American Bund: Fifth Column or Deutschtum? Master of Arts (History), August, 1975, 183 pp., bibliography, 140 titles. Although the German-American Bund received extensive press coverage during its existence and monographs of American politics in the 1930's refer to the Bund's activities, there has been no thorough examination of the charge that the Bund was a fifth column organization responsible to German authorities. This six-chapter study traces the Bund's history with an emphasis on determining the motivation of Bundists and the nature of the relationship between the Bund and the Third Reich. The conclusions are twofold. First, the Third Reich repeatedly discouraged the Bundists and attempted to dissociate itself from the Bund. Second, the Bund's commitment to Deutschtum through its endeavors to assist the German nation and the Third Reich contributed to American hatred of National Socialism.

LINDERT By K Lesli Ligorner Fetching the newspaper from your porch, you look up and wave at your elderly neighbor across the street. This quiet man emigrated to the United States from Europe in the 1950s. Upon scanning the newspaper, you discover his picture on the front page and a story revealing that he guarded a notorious Nazi concen- tration camp. How would you react if you knew that this neighbor became a natu- ralized citizen in 1962 and that naturalization requires "good moral character"? The systematic persecution and destruction of innocent peoples from 1933 until 1945 remains a dark chapter in the annals of twentieth century history. Though the War Crimes Trials at Nilnberg' occurred over fifty years ago, the search for those who participated in Nazi-sponsored persecution has not ended.

  • Paper Number: 2860 Claims on the Past: Cave Excavations by the SS Research and Teaching Community “Ahnenerbe” (1935–1945) Mattes, J.1
    Paper Number: 2860 Claims on the Past: Cave Excavations by the SS Research and Teaching Community “Ahnenerbe” (1935–1945) Mattes, J.1 1 Department of History, University of Vienna, Universitätsring 1, 1010 Wien, Austria, [email protected] ___________________________________________________________________________ Founded in 1935 by a group of fascistic scholars and politicians around Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, the “Ahnenerbe” proposed to research the cultural history of the Aryan race and to legitimate the SS ideology and Himmler’s personal interest in occultism scientifically. Originally organized as a private society affiliated to Himmler’s staff, the “Ahnenerbe” became one of the most powerful institutions in the Third Reich engaged with questions of archaeology, cultural heritage and politics. Its staff were SS members, consisting of scientific amateurs, occultists as well as established scholars who obtained the rank of an officer. Competing against the “Amt Rosenberg”, an official agency for cu ltural policy and surveillance in Nazi Germany, the research community “Ahnenerbe” had already become interested in caves and karst as excellent sites for fossil man investigations before 1937/38, when Himmler founded his own Department of Karst- and Cave Research within the “Ahnenerbe”. Extensive excavations in several German caves near Lonetal (G. Riek, R. Wetzel, O. Völzing), Mauern (R.R. Schmidt, A. Bohmer), Scharzfeld (K. Schwirtz) and Leutzdorf (J.R. Erl) were followed by research travels to caves in France, Spain, Ukraine and Iceland. After the establishment of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in 1939, the “Ahnenerbe” even planned the appropriation of all Moravian caves to prohibit the excavations of local prehistorians and archaeologists from the “Amt Rosenberg”, who had to switch for their excavations to Figure 1: Prehistorian and SS- caves in Thessaly (Greece).

Räumliche Gliederung Analog zu seiner Stellung im Gefüge der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft war auch die räumliche Gliederung des Sicherheitsdienstes nicht statisch, sondern stän- dig im Wandel begriffen. Die äußere Hülle präsentiert sich unstetig und ist ähnlich schwer zu fassen wie sein innerer Charakter. Zwischen 1932 und 1945 wurden fast im Jahresrhythmus Reorganisationen durchgeführt, die die räumlichen Grenzzie- hungen und regionalen Unterstellungsverhältnisse immer wieder veränderten.1 Dies trifft besonders auf den mitteldeutschen Raum zu, der mit den Ländern Sachsen, Thüringen, Anhalt und Preußen bereits auf staatlicher Seite stark zer- klüftet war.2 Deshalb scheint hier eine Darstellung, die - anders als der größte Teil dieser Arbeit - dem Ablauf auf der Zeitachse chronologisch folgen wird, ange- bracht, um weiterführende Prozesse und Merkmale in ihrer regionalen Reichweite richtig abschätzen zu können. Im Hinblick auf den regionalen Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit wird die besondere Aufmerksamkeit auf der Entwicklung im Land Sachsen liegen. Um für dieses Land die Verbindung von der Organisationsgeschichte zur Bio- grafieforschung zu finden, werden in einem direkt anschließenden Exkurs die ent- scheidenden SD-Führer porträtiert. Da es sowohl aus den zentralistischen Organi- sationsstrukturen heraus als auch von der Selbsteinschätzung dieser Männer her nie einen spezifisch „sächsischen" Sicherheitsdienst gegeben hat, ist Mitteldeutsch- land die entscheidende Größe. Im biografischen Teil soll es darum gehen, welchen biografischen Hintergrund die Männer hatten, die die Strukturen ausfüllten. Um diese regionale Elite einord- nen, ihre spezifische Mentalität und die von Heydrich zugewiesene Aufgabe als an allen Fronten einsetzbare politische Kämpfer erkennen zu können, darf sich die Darstellung nicht auf deren Zeit in Sachsen beschränken.
