  • Operation Sunrise: America’S OSS, Swiss Intelligence, and the German Surrender 1945
    Operation Sunrise: America’s OSS, Swiss Intelligence, and the German Surrender 1945 by Stephen P. Halbrook* Operation Sunrise was a cooperative effort of American and Swiss intelligence services which led to the unconditional surrender of the German Wehrmacht forces in Northern Italy and Western Austria on May 2, 1945. General Heinrich von Vietinghoff, Commander-in- Chief of the Southwest Command and of Army Group C, surrendered nearly a million soldiers, the strongest remaining German force. This was the first great surrender of German forces to the Allies, and became a strong impetus for the final Allied victory over Nazi Germany on May 8, Victory in Europe (VE) Day. Operation Sunrise helped to nip in the bud Nazi aspirations for guerilla resistance in an Alpine redoubt. Sunrise, sometimes referred to as “Crossword,” has special significance today beyond the sixtieth anniversary of the German surrender. Despite Switzerland’s formal neutrality, Swiss intelligence agents aggressively facilitated American efforts to end the war. Ironically, the efforts of key U.S. intelligence agents on the ground to orchestrate the surrender were hampered and almost scuttled by leaders in Washington to appease Joseph Stalin, who wished to delay the surrender in the West so that Soviet forces could grab more territory in the East. *This paper was originally presented at the conference Sunrise ‘05, Locarno, Switzerland, May 2, 2005, and was published in “Operation Sunrise.” Atti del convegno internazionale (Locarno, 2 maggio 2005), a cura di Marino Viganò - Dominic M. Pedrazzini (Lugano 2006), pp. 103-30. The conference was held to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the surrender of German forces in northern Italy.

September 2000 ohne Dokumente des militärgeschichtlichen Forschungsamtes Potsdam Unter dem Decknamen „Operation Sunrise“ verbargen sich die geheimen Aktionen zu einer vorzeitigen Beendigung des Zweiten Weltkrieges in Italien. Im Rahmen dieser Aktivitäten, die weitgehend auf Schweizer Boden geplant und organisiert wurden, spielte auch das Seehaus, damals „Casa Signore in Croce“, des heutigen Hotels Eden Roc eine nicht unbedeutende Rolle. Ende 1942 wurde Allen Welsh Dulles (der spätere Direktor der CIA) in die Schweiz entsandt, um dort geheimdienstlich für die USA tätig zu werden. Unter den in der Schweiz lebenden US- amerikanischen Staatsbürgern, die für ihn arbeiteten, befand sich auch Gero v. Schulze- Gaevernitz, ein ehemaliger deutscher Staatsbürger. Die Aktivitäten von Dulles und v. Schulze- Gaevernitz zielten zunächst dahin, an der deutschen Westfront Kontakte zu Heerführern zu suchen, die eventuell bereit gewesen wären, in ihrem Verantwortungsbereich eine Teilkapitulation der deutschen Streitkräfte zu ermöglichen, um so ein weiteres sinnloses Blutvergiessen zu verhindern. Trotz intensiver Bemühungen blieben aber alle Versuche erfolglos. MEMBER OF TSCHUGGEN HOTEL GROUP tschuggenhotelgroup.ch Da ergab sich im Februar 1945, eher unerwartet, die Gelegenheit, an der Südfront in Italien eine derartige Übereinkunft zu erreichen.

Its particular focus is on the works by Anna Naumova, Mariia Pospelova and Mariia Bolotnikova, three late-18th- and early-19th- century Russian women authors who have only recently begun to receive some slight scholarly attention from Western European researchers in Russian Women’s Studies.

  • Immunitätsversprechen. Wie SS-Obergruppenführer Karl Wolff Der Strafverfolgung Entging
    Aufsatz Kerstin von Lingen Immunitätsversprechen. Wie SS-Obergruppenführer Karl Wolff der Strafverfolgung entging Der erste Waffenstillstand des Zweiten Weltkrieges in Europa, die vorzeitige Ka- pitulation der Heeresgruppe C in Norditalien am 2. Mai 1945, bekannt unter ih- rem Codenamen »Operation Sunrise«, ist das Ergebnis von Verhandlungen des amerikanischen Nachrichtendienst-Emissärs des Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in Bern, Allen W. Dulles, und des Höchsten SS- und Polizeiführers Italien, SS-Ober- gruppenführers Karl Wolff1. Entgegen der Vereinbarungen von Casablanca hat es also für die Westalliierten im Frühjahr 1945 nicht nur Verhandlungen über einen Separatfrieden gegeben, sondern sogar Verhandlungen mit Vertretern der SS, wo- bei nur Wolff sich durchsetzen konnte2. Dies nährt die Vermutung, der Friedens- schluss in Norditalien habe im Interesse der Alliierten und der Schweiz gelegen, das solch ein ungewöhnliches Vorgehen rechtfertigte. Dulles trug der Erfolg die- ser Operation nach dem Krieg bis an die Spitze des 1948 neu gegründeten ameri- kanischen Nachrichtendienstes CIA. Doch auch Wolff bekam eine Gegenleistung: 1 Bradley F.

  • Nazi War Crimes, US Intelligence and Selective Prosecution at Nuremberg
    Nazi War Crimes, US Intelligence and Selective Prosecution at Nuremberg Controversies regarding the role of the Office of Strategic Services Nazi War Crimes, US Intelligence and Selective Prosecution at Nuremberg provides a balanced but critical discussion of the contribution of American intelligence officials to the Nuremberg war crimes trials process. It discusses the role of such officials in mobilising the unique resources of a modern intelligence agency in order to provide a range of important trial evidence and undertake controversial plea-bargaining negotiations. The book also reviews recently declassified US intelligence documents to provide new details of how senior Nazi war criminals, such as SS-General Karl Wolff, were provided with effective immunity deals, partly as a reward for their wartime cooperation with US intelligence officials, including Allen Dulles, former CIA Director. This historical case study suggests that both war crimes prosecutors and intelligence officials can engage in mutually beneficial collaborations. The proviso, Michael Salter argues, is that both sides need to recognise and appreciate the problems that may arise from the fact that these institutitions are required to operate according to different, and in some cases contradictory, agendas.

  • Nature, Equality, and the Feminine in Sentimentalist Russian Women's Writing (Mariia Pospelova, Mariia Bolotnikova, and Anna Naumova) with Translations by Emily Lygo
    47 The study provides a close analysis of literary works by women in late-18th- and early-19th-century Russia, with a focus on Anna Naumova, Mariia Pospe- lova, and Mariia Bolotnikova. Political, social and feminist theories are applied SLAVISCHE to examine restrictions imposed on women. Women authors in particular were fettered by a culture of feminisation strongly influenced by the French philo- sopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. As Sentimentalism and its aesthetics began to give way to Romantic ideals, some provincial Russian women writers saw LITERATUREN an opportunity to claim social equality, and to challenge traditional concepts of authorship and a view of women as mute and passive.
