  • Paul Von Hindenburg's First Term
    Volume 6. Weimar Germany, 1918/19–1933 Reelection of Paul von Hindenburg (August 13, 1932) Paul von Hindenburg’s first term as president came to an end in the middle of severe political and financial crisis. Now 84 years old, the old field marshal’s health was worsening and he relied increasingly upon the assistance of his son and the political advice of General Kurt von Schleicher, who urged von Hindenburg to run again for president. The political landscape had changed drastically since the previous presidential election in 1925. Then, von Hindenburg had received his greatest support from the conservatives. In 1932, his support came from defenders of the republic (SPD, DDP, Zentrum) against attacks from the increasingly radical Right. The March 1932 election failed to provide any candidate with a majority. Hindenburg received 49.6% of the vote; Hitler 30.1%; the Communist Party’s (KPD) Ernst Thälmann 13%; and the German Nationalist People’s Party candidate (DNVP) Duesterberg 6.8%. Although von Hindenburg won the run-off election one month later with 53% of the vote, Hitler had been able to win over much of the conservative, nationalist vote in the second election, as the Associated Press report details below. Hitler Falls Short of Claim BERLIN, April 10 (AP). – Adolf Hitler fell short of reaching the 15,000,000 votes he had claimed in the run-off election for the German presidency today. The Nazi leader again carried Pomerania, however, receiving 511,000 votes to President von Hindenburg’s 369,000 and Ernst Thaelmann’s 64,000, and apparently obtained most of Colonel Theodor Duesterberg’s following of last month.

  • Braunschweig, 1944-19451 Karl Liedke
    Destruction Through Work: Lodz Jews in the Büssing Truck Factory in Braunschweig, 1944-19451 Karl Liedke By early 1944, the influx of foreign civilian workers into the Third Reich economy had slowed to a trickle. Facing the prospect of a severe labor shortage, German firms turned their attention to SS concentration camps, in which a huge reservoir of a potential labor force was incarcerated. From the spring of 1944, the number of labor camps that functioned as branches of concentration camps grew by leaps and bounds in Germany and the occupied territories. The list of German economic enterprises actively involved in establishing such sub-camps lengthened and included numerous well-known firms. Requests for allocations of camp prisoners as a labor force were submitted directly by the firms to the SS Economic Administration Main Office (Wirtschafts- und Verwaltungshauptamt, WVHA), to the head of Department D II – Prisoner Employment (Arbeitseinsatz der Häftlinge), SS-Sturmbannführer Gerhard Maurer. In individual cases these requests landed on the desk of Maurer’s superior, SS-Brigaderführer Richard Glücks, or, if the applicant enjoyed particularly good relations with the SS, on the desk of the head of the WVHA, SS-Gruppenführer Oswald Pohl. Occasionally, representatives of German firms contacted camp commandants directly with requests for prisoner labor-force allocation – in violation of standing procedures. After the allocation of a prisoner labor force was approved, the WVHA and the camp commandant involved jointly took steps to establish a special camp for prisoner workers. Security was the overriding concern; for example, proper fencing, restrictions on contact with civilian workers, etc.

  • The Shadow of the Habsburgs: Memory and National Identity in Austrian Politics and Education, 1918-1955
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: THE SHADOW OF THE HABSBURGS: MEMORY AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN AUSTRIAN POLITICS AND EDUCATION, 1918-1955 Douglas Patrick Campbell, Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation directed by: Marsha L. Rozenblit Department of History This dissertation examines how the people of Austria portrayed their past as part of the centuries -old, multinational Habsburg Monarchy in order to conduct a public debate about what it meant to be an “Austrian” during a tumultuous era in Europe’s history. As its main sources, It draws upon the public writings of Austrian politicians and intellectuals, as well as on educational laws, curricula and history textbooks used by the different Austrian go vernments of the era in order to describe how Austrian leaders portrayed Austria’s past in an attempt to define its national future, even as Austrian schools tried to disseminate those national and historical ideals to the next generation of Austrian citiz ens in a practical sense. The first section describes how the leaders of the Austrian First Republic saw Austria’s newfound independence after 1918 as a clean break with its Habsburg past, and consequently pursued a union with Germany which was frustrated by the political interests of the victors of World War I. The second section details the rise of an “Austro -fascist” dictatorship in Austria during the mid -1930s which promoted an Austrian patriotism grounded in a positive portrayal of the Habsburg Monarc hy in order to remain independent from Nazi Germany. The third section examines Austria’s forcible incorporation into the Nazi German state, and the effort by the Third Reich to completely eradicate the existence of a distinctive Austrian identity by cast ing the Habsburg era in a negative light.

POLITICAL RELIGION IN MODERN GERMANY: REFLECTIONS ON NATIONALISM, SOCIALISM, AND NATIONAL SOCIALISM Wolfgang Hardtwig The question of whether it makes sense to view National Socialism as a "political religion" - in addition to rather than instead of other interpretive approaches - is based on a simple fact of electoral history: Hitler was particularly successful in Protestant areas. All Reichstag elections from 1928 onward showed a significant statistical correlation between the proportion of Protestant voters and the success of the NSDAP.1 Various explanations have been offered for this phenomenon. I would like here to concentrate on the question of whether the situation of Christianity - and of Protestantism in particular - at the beginning of the twentieth century contributed to this susceptability to the National Socialist message.
