The French failure to comply with their undertaking to prevent their fleet falling into the hands of our enemies as a result of the armistice necessitated action by us to that end on the 3rd July, on which, date the disposition of the principal French naval forces was as shown in Appendix IV.

Stanzel: German Prisoners of War in Canada German Prisoners of War in Canada, 1940–1946 An Autobiography-Based Essay FRANZ-KARL STANZEL “What is a prisoner of war? He is a man who has tried to kill you and, having failed to kill you, asks you not to kill him.” —Winston Churchill Abstract : The four years I spent in British and Canadian POW Camps offered ample time to study English Literature. This experience in particular had a decisive effect on my later career as university teacher of English literature. It also helped me to become one of the first Anglicists at German and Austrian universities, who included Canadian literature in his syllabus and a founder member of the German Association for Canadian Studies. In this essay based on my war-autobiography, I describe the experience of German POWs in Canada. I was captured in 1942 when serving as third officer of the watch on board U-331 after my vessel was sunk in the Mediterranean by a torpedo fired from a RAF Albacore.

  • The Sinking of the Arandora Star
    The Sinking of the Arandora Star Frances M Dunlop On the afternoon of 3 July 1940, the Canadian destroyer HMCS St. Laurent docked at Greenock. The 868 passengers disembarked: bedraggled, exhausted, traumatised, but grateful to be alive. They were the survivors of one of the worst tragedies of the Second World War: the sinking of SS Arandora Star After all he had been through in the last few weeks, Amilcare (am-EEl-caray) Cima, must have experienced a tumult of emotions to find himself back safe and sound in his home town, stepping on to the quayside within walking distance of his own café. Now in his forties, Amilcare had lived in Greenock for twenty-odd years. His place of origin was the village of Padivarma, high in the hills behind the port of La Spezia, an area which was home to so many of Greenock’s Italian community. Like all other Italian-born Gulf of La Spezia men living in Britain, Amilcare was taken into police custody after Italy entered the War on the side of Germany on 10 June 1940. Italians, many of whom had lived and worked here for years, suddenly became enemy aliens. Some of the older men had fought for Britain in the First World War. Some had sons serving in the British armed forces. Some were naturalised British subjects, holding British passports. No matter, all males between 18 and 70 were rounded up and interned, following Churchill’s infamous edict: “Collar the lot!” Many, of course, had been running fish and chip shops, ice cream shops, and other businesses.

Immediately Italy entered the Second World War in early June 1940, most Italian male civilians between the ages of 18 and 70 years were arrested and interned . A number of men were taken from their homes in Middlesbrough . Wives and families were given little or no information of their whereabouts .

  • Enemy Alien and Refugee: Conflicting Identities in Great Britain During the Second World War Rachel Pistol1 Royal Holloway, University of London
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Open Research Exeter University of Sussex Journal of Contemporary History 16 (2015), pp. 37–52 © Rachel Pistol. Enemy Alien and Refugee: Conflicting Identities in Great Britain during the Second World War Rachel Pistol1 Royal Holloway, University of London he speed at which France and the Low Countries fell in May 1940 Tcreated panic in Great Britain over the possible existence of ‘Fifth Columnists’. It was commonly believed that the only way the Germans could have made the territorial gains so swiftly was due to a large number of German sympathisers and spies resident in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. In the years preceding the Second World War approximately 80,000 German, Austrian, and Czechoslovakian refugees, many of them Jewish, found temporary sanctuary in Britain.2 In the early months of 1940 the prospect of a German invasion of the British mainland was a very real possibility. Attempts were made to recognise the fact that most enemy aliens had fled persecution in their home country and therefore tribunals were instituted in early 1940 in order to separate genuine refugees from potentially hostile enemy aliens. Classifications were given to each alien: ‘A’ denoted an individual deemed a threat to national security and called for immediate detention; ‘B’ was used for enemy aliens of whom the magistrates were unsure and led to certain restrictions on movement and the prohibition of the ownership of cameras, bicycles, and other items; and ‘C’ was the category reserved for genuine refugees.

  • Arandora Colonsay
    S.S. Arandora Star S.S. ARANDORA STAR - THE COLONSAY CONNECTION WAR GRAVES ON COLONSAY AND ORONSAY Any visitor to the graveyard at Kilchattan or the Priory on Oronsay could not fail to notice the presence of simple headstones marking the graves of men who died at sea during both world wars. The ships on which they served came to grief in the North Atlantic and thus their bodies, carried by tides and currents, came to rest along the western shores of the two islands which were to become their final resting place. In addition to these, there are the graves of three islanders who died whilst serving their country and whose bodies were returned to their place of birth and buried in the island graveyard at Kilchattan Gunner 196250 John Brown of the Royal Field Artillery who died on 13 April 1917 age 41. Able Seaman J/54033 Hector McMillan of the Royal Navy who died on 21 August 1918 age 30.

  • The Dunera Boys by Roy Wilcock
    ‘The Dunera Boys’ ‘Friends and enemies’ A Quaker response to the treatment of WWII internees ‘The Dunera Boys’ - a story for the Australian Quaker Tapestry Project Preface The ’Dunera Boys’ Australian Quaker Tapestry panel is currently being stitched in Kendal, Cumbria, UK. It will become a visual snap-shot, a simple representation of a little reported WWII scandal. This booklet is intended to fill in the background information for the embroiderers, to assist and encourage those currently working on the panel. Hopefully it will provide useful information for volunteer stewards involved in any future public exhibiting of the panel in Australia. It is not intended that this transcript be reproduced commercially. Though not a professional historian or journalist the writer has attempted to let previously published facts speak for themselves. These may contain some inaccuracies due to the lack of official embargoed documentation. It is hoped that future release of information by the British Government will mitigate any errors or omissions contained within this booklet. Source material is listed at the end of the document and it is recommended that Cyril Pearl’s book offers a fascinating source for further reading should additional information be required. This short synopsis of events is dedicated to the lives of the Dunera Boys, only a few are still surviving as this booklet is being written. Roy Wilcock, researcher and writer Introduction Bridget Guest is the Manager of the Quaker Tapestry in the Lake District town of Kendal in Cumbria, UK. She and her partner Roy Wilcock (the writer of this article) visited Australia in April 2007.

  • A Comparative Study of Second World War Internment Experiences in Great Britain and the United States of America Rachel Pistol R
    A Comparative Study of Second World War Internment Experiences in Great Britain and the United States of America Rachel Pistol Royal Holloway, University of London PhD History In Memory of Andrew Dickinson (1981-2014) and Professor David Cesarani OBE (1956-2015) 1 I, Rachel Pistol, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. 2 Abstract This thesis is the first comparative history of internment between the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and compares a nation with both a Constitution and a Bill of Rights to one with neither. Government files, personal correspondence, memoirs, and oral testimony have been used to describe the years preceding internment, the camps themselves, the aftermath, and how internment has been remembered. New sources such as previously unseen letters, interviews, memoirs, monuments, and commemorative ceremonies have been used to describe the experiences of the internees and how this blot on the Allied war record has been remembered. Memoirs, letters, and oral testimony help to put a human face on the suffering incurred during the turbulent early years of the war, and serve as a reminder of what can happen to vulnerable groups during times of conflict. This thesis also considers how these ‘tragedies of democracy’ have been remembered over time, and how the need for the memorialisation of former sites of internment is essential if society is not to repeat the same injustices. 3 Contents Abstract
