  • 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.

  • What Was the Turning Point of World War Ii?
    WHAT WAS THE TURNING POINT OF WORLD WAR II? Jeff Moore History 420: Senior Seminar December 13, 2012 1 World War II was the decisive war of the twentieth century. Millions of people lost their lives in the fighting. Hitler and the Nazis were eventually stopped in their attempt to dominate Europe, but at a great cost to everyone. Looking back at the war, it is hard to find the definitive moment when the war could no longer be won by the Axis, and it is even more difficult to find the exact moment when the tide of the war turned. This is because there are so many moments that could be argued as the turning point of World War II. Different historians pose different arguments as to what this moment could be. Most agree that the turning point of World War II, in military terms, was either Operation Barbarossa or the Battle of Stalingrad. UCLA professor Robert Dallek, Third Reich and World War II specialist Richard Overy, and British journalist and historian Max Hastings, all argue that Stalingrad was the point of the war in which everything changed.1 The principal arguments surrounding this specific battle are that it was the furthest east that Germany ever made it, and after the Russian victory Stalin’s forces were able to gain the confidence and momentum necessary to push the Germans back to the border. On the other hand, Operation Barbarossa is often cited as the turning point for World War II because the Germans did not have the resources necessary to survive a prolonged invasion of Russia fighting both the Red Army and the harsh Russian weather.

  • Wehrmacht Security Regiments in the Soviet Partisan War, 1943
    Ben Shepherd Wehrmacht Security Regiments in the Soviet Partisan War, 1943 Historians generally agree that, as an institution, the German Wehrmacht identified strongly with National Socialism and embroiled itself in the Third Reich’s criminality through a mix- ture of ideological agreement, military ruthlessness, calculation and careerism.1 Less certain is how far this picture extends to the Wehrmacht’s lower levels — individual units and jurisdictions, middle-ranking and junior officers, NCOs and rank-and-file sol- diers. For the German Army of the East (Ostheer), which fought in the ideologically coloured eastern campaign (Ostfeldzug) of extermination, subjugation and plunder against the Soviet Union, the scale of complicity, of the resulting killing and of the manpower involved make lower-level investigation especially pertinent. The picture emerging from a detailed, albeit still embryonic, case study treatment of units of the Ostheer’s middle level (mitt- lere Schicht) — a picture which, thanks to the nature of the sources available, is significantly fuller than that of its rank and file — is one in which motivation and conduct, whilst unde- niably very often ruthless and brutal, were nonetheless multi- faceted in origin and varied in form and extent.2 This article argues that, if the dynamics behind mittlere Schicht brutality are to be understood more fully and their effects quantified more comprehensively, the mittlere Schicht itself needs breaking down and examining in terms of the different levels — divisions, regi- ments, battalions and others — that comprised it. The setting is the Ostheer’s anti-partisan campaign in the central sector of the German-occupied Soviet Union, namely Byelorussia and the areas of greater Russia to the east of it, during the spring and summer of 1943.

  • Hitlers Besuch in Finnland. Das Geheime Tonprotokoll Seiner
    Dokumentation BERND WEGNER HITLERS BESUCH IN FINNLAND Das geheime Tonprotokoll seiner Unterredung mit Mannerheim am 4. Juni 1942* I. Am Vormittag des 3. Juni 1942 erhielt der deutsche Geschäftsträger in Helsinki, Wipert von Blücher, überraschenden Besuch. Kurz zuvor nämlich waren der Gesandte Hewel und Ge­ neralmajor Schmundt, Hitlers persönlicher Adjutant, mit einer Sondermaschine aus dem Führerhauptquartier kommend in Finnland gelandet, um Blücher und General Erfurth, den deutschen Verbindungsoffizier zum finnischen Hauptquartier, von der Absicht des „Füh­ rers" zu unterrichten, Feldmarschall Mannerheim, dem Oberkommandierenden der finni­ schen Streitkräfte, aus Anlaß seines 75. Geburtstages am folgenden Tage einen persönlichen Besuch abzustatten. Dabei sollte es sich nach Hitlers Vorstellung um keine offizielle Staats­ visite, sondern vielmehr um einen „Frontbesuch" handeln, von welchem der Gastgeber frei­ lich - schon allein aus Sicherheitsgründen - nur wenige Stunden vor Eintreffen seines Gastes unterrichtet werden sollte1. Hitlers Ansinnen stellte den erfahrenen Diplomaten v. Blücher, vor allem aber die finni­ sche Staatsführung, die schließlich doch noch am Abend des 3. Juni unter der Auflage strengster Geheimhaltung von den Absichten des deutschen Diktators informiert wurde, vor eine Reihe delikater Probleme2. Diese waren zum Teil protokollarischer Natur - wie z.B. die Frage, welche Rolle der finnische Staatspräsident bei diesem Treffen der Oberbe­ fehlshaber zu spielen hätte -, zum Teil ergaben sie sich aus den besonderen Umständen, Einen ersten Hinweis auf das hier behandelte Dokument gab mir mein finnischer Kollege Sampo Ahto. Antti Juutilainen, Eero Saarenheimo, Antero Tuomi (alle Helsinki), ferner Dr. Hans J. Künzel (Taunusstein) sowie Frau Dr. Maria Keipert (Politisches Archiv des Auswärtigen Amtes, Bonn) ge­ währten mir Unterstützung bei den weiteren Recherchen.

    Take (No) Prisoners! The Red Army and German POWs, 1941–1943* Mark Edele University of Western Australia The Problematic From the outset of the German-Soviet war (1941–45), Soviet soldiers, command- ers, political officers, and police agents killed captured Germans. Investigation into the reasons and extent, the perpetrators and dynamics of these war crimes was hampered from the start.1 One obstacle was that alleged Soviet atrocities were part of German propaganda well before the Wehrmacht’sattackonJune22, 1941. The “Commissar Order” of June 6, 1941, decreed the execution of Soviet political officers ( politruki, or commissars) should they be captured in battle or while organizing resistance. The order attempted to legitimize this open breach of * Research for this article was made possible, in part, by a University of Western Australia Research Development Award in 2010 and an Australian Research Council Discovery Grant (DP130101215, 2013–16).

  • From Peace to War: Germany, Soviet Russia and the World, 1939-1941'
    H-German van Dijk on Wegner, 'From Peace to War: Germany, Soviet Russia and the World, 1939-1941' Review published on Sunday, February 1, 1998 Bernd Wegner, ed. From Peace to War: Germany, Soviet Russia and the World, 1939-1941. Providence and Oxford: Berghahn Books, 1997. viii + 632 pp. $75.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-57181-882-9. Reviewed by Ruud van Dijk (Ohio University) Published on H-German (February, 1998) German-Russian relations have long been a high-stakes encounter between two restless European great powers, encompassing both close friendship and cooperation and the most vicious kinds of warfare. While the realities of geographical proximity and each side's troubled modern national experience always provided the potential for violent conflict, there have also been periods during which Moscow and Berlin were able to reconcile their differences, frequently at the expense of others. The 1939-1941 period contains most if not all of these elements of modern German-Russian relations. However, what makes these years endlessly fascinating is their singularity. More than any other period of German-Russian turbulence, this one is characterized by an exorbitant level of suspicion, deceit, hostility, and cruelty. In addition, developments often occurred at a feverishly fast pace. Although Moscow and Berlin also cooperated during these years, and even though historians should guard against reading history backwards, what ultimately sets this period apart from any other era in German-Russian relations is its climax: Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 and all the horrendous events that followed from it. Although the collection under review does not explicitly deal with the question, it is worth asking whether, in light of the way ideological differences and geopolitical contests had been developing in Central and Eastern Europe during the 20th century, the catastrophe of 1941 was inevitable.
