Using oral history, as well as information gleaned from auto/biographies and SOE reports, it is argued that many female captives resorted to gender stereotypes by ‘playing the daft lassie’, that they experienced punishment with distinct sexist and sexual overtones and that gender was significant in their accounts of incarceration within concentration camps.

The British nationals recruited by the SOE’s F section had, as a result of their upbringing, developed a French ‘habitus’ (linguistic skills, mannerisms and knowledge of customs) that enabled them to conceal their British paramilitary identities and ‘pass’ as French civilians. The article examines the diverse ways in which individuals attempted to construct French identities linguistically (through accent and use of vocabulary, slang and swear words), visually (through their physical appearance and clothing) and performatively (by behaving in particular ways).

  • Rigg Bm.Pdf (651.5Kb)
    notes note on sources Although oral testimonies are subject to fallible human memories, they have none- theless proven invaluable in explaining several documents collected for this study. Documents never before seen by historians, found in people’s closets, basements, and desk drawers, created a much fuller and complex history, especially when their owners supplied the background and history of the documents as well. These sources helped re-create the unique and tragic history of the Mischlinge, which is still so little understood over half a century later. The thousands of pages of documents and oral testimonies (on 8 mm video and VHS video) in this study are now part of the permanent collection at the Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv in Freiburg, Germany, as the Bryan Mark Rigg Collection. Although interviews need to be treated with some skepticism, they have repeatedly shown that oral history often enriches rather than contradicts historical documents. All too often, history is written without the human element, that is, without knowing what these people thought, felt, and believed. Oral history helps reconstruct many of these people’s thoughts, feelings, and beliefs through their diaries, letters, interviews, and photographs. In this way, a healthy combination of hard documents or primary sources and secondary sources and testimonies expands our sense of this history. Often one reads about men and women but feels no human connection with them. The interviews were done to try to bridge this gap and to pro- vide readers with the means to enter these men’s and women’s thoughts and feelings to understand them better and to deepen readers’ knowledge of this history.

  • Hellmuth Stieff Und Der Deutsche Widerstand
    HORST MÜHLEISEN HELLMUTH STIEFF UND DER DEUTSCHE WIDERSTAND Von 1943 bis 1944 gehörte Stieff, zuletzt Generalmajor und Chef der Organisati­ onsabteilung im Generalstab des Heeres, zum engsten Kreis des militärischen Widerstandes gegen Hitler und das Regime. Aber sein Verhalten ist bei den Mitver­ schwörern umstritten, ebenso bei Historikern wie Christian Müller und Wolfgang Venohr1. Dies mag einer der Gründe sein, weshalb sich die Forschung bislang nicht mit ihm befaßt hat. I. Hans Rothfels teilte einige Daten mit, und Annedore Leber veröffentlichte eine bio­ graphische Notiz; 1984 erschien ein Lebensabriß. In dem Band „20. Juli. Portraits des Widerstands" fehlt hingegen sein Lebensbild2. Erst 1991 erschienen seine erhal­ tenen Briefe, eine Quelle von Rang3. Hellmuth Stieff wurde am 6. Juni 1901 in Deutsch-Eylau, Westpreußen, geboren. Sein Vater Walter diente als Premierleutnant im Feldartillerieregiment Nr. 35, seine Mutter, Annie Krause, stammte aus einer Juristenfamilie, die in Mecklenburg und in Hannover zu Hause war4. 1907 wurde der Vater nach Graudenz versetzt; dort besuchte Stieff die Vorschule. Er fiel durch rasche Auffassungsgabe und Wendigkeit auf. Hinzu kam sein Ehrgeiz, besser zu sein als andere. Obwohl er, von kleiner Gestalt, kein Streber war, wurde sein Verhalten oft mißdeutet. Im Juli 1918 legte er das Notabitur ab und trat als Freiwilliger beim Feldartillerieregiment Nr. 71 ein. 1 Christian Müller, Oberst i. G. Stauffenberg.
