  • World War II and the Czechoslovak Exile, 1938–1945
    CHAPTER 10 World War II and the Czechoslovak Exile, 1938–1945 One of Hitler’s identity-forming experiences was the united struggle of his native Austria-Hungary and Germany in World War I. As Nazi Germany’s leader he reassembled most of the Central Powers of World War I to form the Axis coalition of World War II. Thus the European distribution of the pow- ers largely repeated itself: Britain and France fought against Germany/Austria and Hungary. In both wars the United States emerged as the deus-ex-machina that saved Britain and France, while Russia or the Soviets ‘changed sides’ both times in the middle of the war (although in opposite directions). By the end of the largest war in history, an estimated 50,000,000 people had lost their lives around the globe, about half as soldiers killed in battle, and half as civilians or POWs who died as ‘collateral damage’ or were deliberately mur- dered, a significant portion of which in the Nazi genocide (see Chapter 9).1 The collapse of the military onto the civilian spheres was evident in the physical erasure of entire cities along with much of their populations. The two nuclear bombs, which the United States dropped onto a collapsing Japan in August 1945, marked the beginning of a new and perhaps last era of human history. Like Hitler, Beneš frequently projected World War I onto World War II. The resistance network, he maintained in Prague was modeled after his World War I “Maffia,” and he even maintained some personal continuities.2 Most impor- tantly, Beneš’s goal was the same: the (re-)establishment of a Czechoslovak state.

By contrast, music which is popular but perceived as “bad” has generated surprisingly little interest. This dissertation looks at Polish post-socialist music through the lenses of musical phenomena that came to prominence after socialism collapsed but which are perceived as controversial, undesired, shameful, and even dangerous. They run the gamut from the perceived nadir of popular music to some works of the most renowned contemporary classical composers that are associated with the suffix -polo, an expression
