Criterion (iv): Muskauer Park was the forerunner for new approaches to landscape design in cities, and influenced the development of ‘landscape architecture’ as a discipline BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS A landscaped park of 559.90-ha astride the Neisse river and the border between Poland and Germany, it was created by Prince Hermann von Puckler-Muskau from 1815 to 1844. Blending seamlessly with the surrounding farmed landscape, the park pioneered new approaches to landscape design and influenced the development of landscape architecture in Europe and America. Designed as a ‘painting with plants’, it did not seek to evoke classical landscapes, paradise, or some lost perfection, instead it used local plants to enhance the inherent qualities of the existing landscape. This integrated landscape extends into the town of Muskau with green passages that formed urban parks framing areas for development. The town thus became a design component in a utopian

  • Heldenpolitik: Ritterkreuz, Ideology and the Complexities of Hero Culture Under National Socialism
    Heldenpolitik: Ritterkreuz, Ideology and the Complexities of Hero Culture under National Socialism By Colin Gilmour A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2018 Department of History and Classical Studies McGill University Montreal, Quebec ©Colin Gilmour 2018 i Abstract This dissertation explores the political history of Germany’s highest award for military excellence during the Second World War: the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross, or “Ritterkreuz.” Expanding upon a limited foundation of existing scholarly research, its primary focus is to examine the role played by this famous medal as a vessel of “symbolic capital” for the National Socialist regime. Designed not only as a tool to help forge a new archetype for military heroism, it was also to represent the “revolution” that the Party claimed to have produced in German society and politics. Using this function as a framework, the component chapters of this study document different ways in which it informed or affected official usages of the Ritterkreuz and the activities of its recipients – called “Ritterkreuzträger” – during the war years. Through this investigation, the dissertation argues that while achieving an impact on wartime culture that continues to be felt in Germany today, both medal and men proved as much a source of frustration and embarrassment to the regime as they did ideological success. As such, it challenges several existing assumptions regarding the role of orders and decorations created by National Socialism while highlighting an underrecognized layer of complexity in its “Heldenpolitik” (Hero Politics). ii Résumé Cette thèse explore l'histoire politique de la plus haute distinction militaire accordée en Allemagne durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale : la croix de chevalier de la croix de fer, la « Ritterkreuz ».

    i Sofia Bach 28 May 2020 Hermann Hesse’s Orient: Western Crisis and Eastern Redemption A thesis submitted to fulfil requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy Under the supervision of: Professor Peter Morgan Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Department of European Studies School of Languages and Cultures The University of Sydney i Statement of originality This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Translations by Sofia Bach unless otherwise indicated. ii Abstract The German-born Nobel-Laureate author Hermann Hesse enjoyed three major waves of popularity in the twentieth century. The first surge in reception took place in the Weimar Republic following the Great War. The second, arose mostly in Germany during the period of Nazi rule and just after the Second World War. Finally, the third surge happened in the 1960s and 1970s, when Hesse reached a large readership at the time of the American Counterculture movement. In all these receptions, Hesse’s novels were seen as guides to help navigate crises in western civilisation. The resolutions offered in Hesse’s novels, particularly Demian, Siddhartha, Steppenwolf and The Indian Life (the appendix to The Glass Bead Game) are either anchored in a narrative Orient, or influenced by Vendānta and Buddhist philosophies.

The technical knowledge and precision required to operate a fighter aircraft combined with the physical and mental strain of a dogfight make the fighter pilots who excel at them truly exceptional. Unofficially, a flying ace is a fighter pilot who shoots down at least five enemy aircraft, though the number a single pilot can achieve has steadily decreased because anti-aircraft and tracking technology has made dogfights rare in Flying Ace warfare.

It has included such principal notions as the following: – The Soviet’s manifold but obsolete aviation equipment was eliminated by the Luftwaffe during the very first massive strikes, with minimal losses. – This was mainly due to the totalitarian regime established by Joseph Stalin, and the foolish commissars who lined up the aeroplanes on the airfields, making them easy targets for German pilots. These five Yak-7 fighters from an unidentified regiment were photographed on Alert No. 1 readiness, with the pilots in their cockpits and the groundcrew on 4 hand, during the summer of 1942. © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com – Tens of thousands of the most talented Soviet commanders were shot by the tyrant Stalin during the pre-war ‘cleansings’. – Stupid Soviet pilots, bamboozled by communist propaganda, were unable to learn even basic tactics, avoided dogfights after brief manoeuvring and generally appeared to be cowardly. – The exceptions to this rule were the Guards regiments, most of which were equipped with the aeroplanes supplied by Western allies under Lend-Lease, and manned by specially trained airmen.
