There is a more extensive treatment in Christoph Kleßmann, Die doppelte Staatsgründung: Deutsche Geschichte 1945–1955, 5th ed. (Göttingen, 1991), 46–50. For East Germany, see Ulrich Mählert, Kleine Geschichte der DDR (Munich, 1998), 27; and Dietrich Staritz, Geschichte der DDR, rev. ed. (Frankfurt am Main, 1996), 55. There is no reference at all to the black market period in Hermann Weber, Die DDR 1945–1990, 3rd ed. (Munich, 2003). 5. Michael Wildt notes that the bartering and black markets belong to the “blind spots in our historical knowledge”; see Wildt, Am Beginn der Konsumgesellschaft: Mangelerfahrung, Lebenshaltung, Wohlstandshoffnung in Westdeutschland in den fünf- ziger Jahren, 2nd ed.

For Berlin we now have Paul Steege, Black Market, Cold War: Everyday Life in Berlin, 1946–1949 (Cambridge, UK, 2007); however, this com- prehensive study is limited to the postwar years, and it analyzes the Berlin black markets as sites of the Cold War conflict. There is also Stefan Mörchen, Schwarzer Markt: Kriminalität, Ordnung und Moral in Bremen 1939–1949 (Frankfurt am Main, 2011), which reads the conflicts over the illegal markets first and foremost as indicators of changing concepts of crime and order.

  • Police Militarization: Not for Every Community
    The Bill Blackwood Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas _________________ Police Militarization: Not For Every Community _________________ A Leadership White Paper Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Required for Graduation from the Leadership Command College _________________ By David Faaborg Mesquite Police Department Mesquite, Texas February 2015 ABSTRACT Many police agencies of all sized have acquired military equipment and implemented military style tactics in recent years. It is claimed that police militarization is necessary because the world is a more dangerous place than it used to be and the police must stay ahead of the criminals. It is also claimed that the equipment is a windfall for police agencies because it can be acquired for free or at a low cost from the military. However, police militarization can have a negative impact on police community relations and can increase a department’s liability if done improperly. This paper asserts that police administrators should exercise discretion and make a carefully considered decision on whether acquiring and using military equipment and tactics is right for their agency. This paper asserts that acquiring military equipment and tactics could lead to the agency and its officers acting in a more aggressive manner towards its citizens. Likewise, it could lead citizens to behave more aggressively towards officers. Increased militarization can increase the risk for officers, suspects, and uninvolved citizens if there is not sufficient additional training to accompany the powerful equipment and tactics. While military equipment and tactics do have a place in certain police incidents, their overuse or misuse can have serious adverse effects on the community.
