  • Das „Kaukasische Experiment“. Gab Es Eine Weisung Hitlers Zur
    475 Der deutsche Angriff auf die Sowjetunion war für die dort lebenden Menschen eine einzige Katastrophe. Vernichtung, Tod oder bestenfalls Ausbeutung waren gewöhnlich die Folgen der deutschen Okkupation. Doch gab es Ausnahmen, wenn auch begrenzte. Eine solche war der Kaukasus. Welche Ziele verfolgten hier die deutschen Besatzer? Gab es tatsächlich eine entsprechende Weisung Hitlers? Und welche Personen und Kräfte aus dem deutschen Militär- und Besatzungsapparat versuchten hier, die deutsche Besatzungs­ herrschaft im Osten anders zu gestalten als bisher? Manfred Zeidler Das „kaukasische Experiment" Gab es eine Weisung Hitlers zur deutschen Besatzungspolitik im Kaukasus?1 I. Einführung „Es gehört zu den vielen Paradoxien des Zweiten Weltkrieges, daß die Verwen­ dung von Angehörigen kaukasischer und turkotatarischer Völkerschaften in offi­ ziellen Funktionen eine Zusammenarbeit mit Nationalitäten darstellte, die nach der nazistischen Rassenideologie eine besondere Feindgruppe hätten bedeuten müssen. Sie symbolisierten für die Nazi-Rassisten das .Asiatisch-Minderwertige' und wurden in der charakteristischen rassenideologischen Werteskala noch unter den slawischen Völkern eingestuft. [...] Begriffe wie ,Tataren', ,Kirgisen' und ,Mongolen' waren oftmals Synonyme für den folgenschweren Ausdruck ,Unter- mensch', der zu trauriger Berühmtheit gelangen sollte." Diese Feststellung traf Patrick von zur Mühlen vor gut dreißig Jahren in seiner heute noch lesenswerten Studie über den Nationalismus der sowjetischen Orient­ völker im Zweiten Weltkrieg

    COMPONENT 2 - PERIOD STUDY 2B. THE DEVELOPMENT OF GERMANY 1919-1991 KEY QUESTION 2 : The rise to power of the Nazi Party 1929-1934 The rise to power of the Nazi Party 1929-1934 BACKGROUND : The impact of the Depression on Germany In October 1929 the Wall Street Stock Exchange in America crashed and plunged the world into a serious economic crisis. Share values in the USA had increased well beyond the actual value of the products they were invested in and, when the bubble burst, American investors lost $400 million in a month. Countries like Germany, whose industries relied heavily on loans from America, suffered greatly as the loans which had helped to boost the economy in the 1920s in Germany now dried up. In addition, as the world’s economy went into depression, Germany’s exports also began to decline, resulting in serious unemployment. The failure of several Austrian and German banks in 1931 made an already bad situation worse. Prices of farm products tumbled and German agriculture suffered, causing distress to farmers who had heavily mortgaged their farms in the 1920s. The impact of the Depression on Germany was very severe, causing serious social discontent: • Unemployment rose dramatically from 900,000 in 1929, to over 3.5 million in 1930, 5 million in 1931 and nearly 6 million in 1932. This caused widespread misery and poverty. • The failure of the banks caused the middle classes to lose their savings once again. • Many people found they could not keep up with mortgage or rent payments and became homeless.

Spinzia In order to assist the reader in identifying the large number of unfamiliar names and the dizzying array of events, a photographic gallery with a thumbnail biography of the participants and a timeline pertaining to the pertinent events of those years have been included. In 1908 Washington was considered a backwater posting by the major powers in Europe. Washingtonians, at the beginning of the twentieth century, had to contend with excessively humid heat in the summer coupled with the fear of typhoid- and malaria-bearing mosquitos from the swamps of the nearby countryside. Additionally, the city’s social life lacked the sophistication and glitter associated with Manhattan and the capitals of the major countries of Western Europe. Despite this, Germany appointed the shrewd career diplomat Count Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff as its ambassador to the United States. Von Bernstorff, who was debonair and likeable, had close ties to Long Island and a grasp of America’s culture, politics, and economic potential, arrived in the United States on December 21, 1908.1 His South Shore country residence, Hickory Hall, that he rented from Mrs. Thomas F.

  • Volume 6. Weimar Germany, 1918/19–1933 Otto Meissner's Minutes Of
    Volume 6. Weimar Germany, 1918/19–1933 Otto Meissner’s Minutes of the Second Meeting between Hitler and Hindenburg (August 13, 1932) The July 1932 Reichstag elections witnessed a significant Nazi victory. The Nazis received 37% of the votes: the most of any party, but still shy of an absolute majority. Rather than use these newly won seats to support the Papen government, Hitler sought to form his own Nazi government. Hitler demanded the chancellorship for himself as well as key cabinet positions for Nazis. Papen refused Hitler’s proposal outright. Still, he himself was unable to form a government with a majority in the Reichstag. In the end, political power rested with President Hindenburg, who had recourse to Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution and the right to appoint a chancellor. Unlike the previous chancellor, Brüning, Papen benefitted from the president’s support, and Hindenburg refused to be swayed by Hitler’s case when the two met on August 13, 1932. Hitler’s unsuccessful bid for the chancellorship resulted in even stronger Nazi opposition to the Papen government, but it also dealt a serious blow to the advance of the Nazi movement. Present were: President Hindenburg, Chancellor [Franz] von Papen, State Secretary Dr. [Otto] Meissner, Adolf Hitler, Minister Dr. [Wilhelm] Frick, Captain (ret.) [Ernst] Röhm The President of the Reich opened the discussion by declaring to Hitler that he was ready to let the National Socialist Party and their leader Hitler participate in the Reich Government and would welcome their cooperation. He then put the question to Hitler whether he was prepared to participate in the present government of von Papen.

  • Karl Respa and German Espionage in Canada During World War One
    Journal of Military and Strategic Studies, Fall 2005, Vol. 8, Issue 1. KARL RESPA AND GERMAN ESPIONAGE IN CANADA DURING WORLD WAR ONE Dr. Grant W. Grams, Department of History, University of Alberta With the outbreak of World War One (WW I) on July 28, 1914 thousands of German nationals found themselves outside of the land of their birth. Canada declared war on Germany on August 4, 1914 while the United States (US) remained neutral until April 6, 1917. Some German nationals felt trapped in North America and wanted to help Germany defeat its enemies in Europe by conducting espionage activity. Members of the Auswärtiges Amt (German Foreign Office - AA) in the US organized and encouraged Germans to conduct sabotage activity for the benefit of Germany’s war effort. Due to American neutrality AA members initially found the US a convenient location to carry out espionage. This intelligence activity was lead by Count Johann von Bernstorff, Germany’s ambassador in Washington. He was aided by Karl Boy-Ed, naval attaché, Franz von Papen, military attaché, and Dr. Heinrich Albert, commercial attaché. With guidance and support from Berlin they established small groups of saboteurs within the US and Canada. These groups succeeded in organizing an espionage network, which attempted to delay aid and military supplies destined for Europe. This essay will concentrate on one saboteur, Karl Respa, who was willing to take up the fight in Canada for the benefit of Germany.1 1 Landau, Henry: The Enemy Within, Putnam’s Sons New York, 1937, pp. 18-23, Rintelen, Franz von: The Dark Invader, Peter Davies London, 1933, pp.

  • A Concise History of the Third Reich
    1.Benz,A History of the Third 10/13/05 3—41 PM Page 20 1 THE “NATIONAL REVOLUTION” “WHAT WE ARE WITNESSING BELOW, these thousands upon thou- sands and ten thousands upon ten thousands of people, who, in a fren- zied delirium of exultation and enthusiasm, are acclaiming the new lead- ership of the state—this is truly the fulfillment of our dearest wish, the crowning achievement of our work. We are fully justified in saying Ger- many is awakening!” The man who spoke these elated words into the mi- crophones of the radio stations of the German Reich in the late evening of January 30, 1933, was Joseph Goebbels, the propaganda chief of the NSDAP. Hitler had been named chancellor that same morning. Goebbels was standing at the window of the chancellery in the Wilhelmstraße in Berlin. He was enjoying the torch parade that the SA, the paramilitary unit of the party, and the Stahlhelm were putting on between the Branden- burg Gate and the Wilhelmstraße on the occasion of the party’s assump- tion of power, ostensibly in honor of President Paul von Hindenburg but mostly for their own leader, the new Chancellor Adolf Hitler. —Hitler. This staged outpouring of jubilation, which would be followed by many [FIGURE] [figure 6] state spectacles organized by Goebbels, was the origin of the legend of the national revolution, of Hitler’s “assumption of power” (Machtergreifung). Goebbels was a tireless disseminator of this phrase, using it to divert at- tention from the fact that Hitler had been named chancellor at the head of a coalition government in which his own NSDAP was only a minority, represented by Wilhelm Frick as the new minister of the interior and Her- mann Göring as minister without portfolio.
