Not only did the British and French work together to attack the German occupiers in the far Tnorth but also the military forces of all the participants included land, air, and sea ele- ments. Though this campaign—seen from both the Allied and Axis sides—included major joint and combined elements, it was also marked by major errors. In truth, the services on both sides had yet to develop a joint perspective on war—their centuries- old tradition of working alone and only grudgingly succumbing to cooperation with each other would be very hard to break. Joint training and doctrine had not yet been sufficiently developed to allow diverse elements to work together effectively. 4 | Air & Space Power Journal Jointness and the Norwegian Campaign, 1940 Moreover, in Germany, the unique power of Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, head of the Luftwaffe, added even further to the poisonous effects of service paro- chialism. Göring would not allow his air forces, whatever the importance or neces- sity, to be subservient to the commander from another arm. The Campaign Although Britain and France declared war on Germany in September 1939 due to the Nazi invasion of Poland, they were loath to strike the enemy head-on along the western front. The French had seemingly learned from the Great War that the de- fense had become supreme; they therefore intended to sit behind their impregnable Maginot Line and allow the Germans to bleed themselves white in fruitless attacks. This passive inactivity, while Germany was occupied in the east devouring Poland, was scathingly referred to by some as “sitzkrieg” to distinguish it from the German blitzkrieg. Instead, the Allies looked for a less risky venue to strike Germany, and Norway came to mind. Germany was heavily dependent on the high-quality iron ore of Sweden that came from the northern area of the country. This ore was usually shipped by rail through Norway to the ice-free port of Narvik on the Norwegian Sea and from there traveled south by freighter to Germany.1 Although Sweden and Norway were declared neutrals, the Allies nonetheless considered denying this resource to Germany—by force if necessary. Two weeks after the outbreak of war, the First Lord of the Admi- ralty, Sir Winston Churchill, suggested mining Norwegian territorial waters to force German ore freighters into the open sea where they could be destroyed by the Royal Navy.2 As the months passed, this option and even that of occupying Norway were in- creasingly considered and then planned. Particularly, it was feared that Germany might act first and simply invade Sweden and Norway to ensure access to the iron ore and to protect the supply lines for its transshipment. On 8 April 1940, the Royal Navy began laying mines in Norwegian territorial waters. Despite the action being against international law by violating the rights of a neutral country, it was deemed essential to British security.3 The Germans were in fact concerned about their access to Swedish ore and the safe access to Norwegian ports. The Allied starvation blockade of World War I, cou- pled with numerous violations of neutral shipping rights during the first year of the current conflict, taught them that international law provided flimsy protection in a total war. Also, German planners thought that Norway could serve as a valuable submarine basing site and provide air bases for bomber aircraft that would outflank the Allies and allow powerful strikes on Britain’s industry and lines of communica- tion.4 On 3 March 1940, Nazi Germany dictator Adolph Hitler ordered plans drawn up to occupy Denmark and Norway to protect German access to the Baltic Sea and to ensure that the ore supply lines along the Norwegian coast remained intact. The invasion of Denmark and Norway was set for 9 April—coincidentally, the day be- fore this assault was to take place, the Allies began their mining operations.5 Spring 2017 | 5 Meilinger The German plan called for a series of quick, powerful, and wide-ranging attacks.

    WORKING PAPER 91 Hans Kammler, Hitler’s Last Hope, in American Hands By Frank Döbert and Rainer Karlsch, August 2019 THE COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES Christian F. Ostermann and Charles Kraus, Series Editors This paper is one of a series of Working Papers published by the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 1991 by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War as it emerges from previously inaccessible sources from all sides of the post-World War II superpower rivalry. Among the activities undertaken by the Project to promote this aim are the Wilson Center's Digital Archive; a periodic Bulletin and other publications to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for historians to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in the United States; and international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars. The CWIHP Working Paper series provides a speedy publication outlet for researchers who have gained access to newly-available archives and sources related to Cold War history and would like to share their results and analysis with a broad audience of academics, journalists, policymakers, and students. CWIHP especially welcomes submissions which use archival sources from outside of the United States; offer novel interpretations of well-known episodes in Cold War history; explore understudied events, issues, and personalities important to the Cold War; or improve understanding of the Cold War’s legacies and political relevance in the present day.

Mannerheim: On the Diplomatic Prelude of World War II Toomas VARRAK* Abstract Introduction In addition to oral tradition, the knowledge The standard historical presentation and understanding of history is based on of WWII can be epitomised as a written sources. Therefore it is highly significant narrative about a clash between when research is able to introduce hitherto good and evil in which victory is unknown material that can shed new light on inveterate truths. This was the case with the rightfully won by the good. That study “Finland at the Epicentre of the Storm” standard was cast into serious doubt by Finnish historian Erkki Hautamäki. The in 2005 by Finnish historian Erkki study dealt with the diplomatic prelude to Hautamäki, whose research was based World War II, and was based on a secret dossier on documents originating from secret by Marshal C. G. E. Mannerheim. The dossier was transferred to President J. K. Paasikivi dossier S-32 of Finnish Marshal, 1 after the war, and then disappeared from Carl Gustav Emil Mannerheim. The public eye. Fortunately, its main items were documents of the dossier originated either copied or a synopsis was made on the from the two different sources. First, request of the Marshal by his long-time trustee, they represented the documents of Vilho Tahvanaine. On the basis of these copies, Hautamäki was able to propose an entirely new German officials, including a personal view of the diplomatic manoeuvring which led letter by Reichsmarschall Hermann to the outbreak of WW II.

STATIC, YET FLUCTUATING: THE EVOLUTION OF BATMAN AND HIS AUDIENCES by PERRY DUPRE DANTZLER Under the Direction of H. Calvin Thomas ABSTRACT The Batman media franchise (comics, movies, novels, television, and cartoons) is unique because no other form of written or visual texts has as many artists, audiences, and forms of expression. Understanding the various artists and audiences and what Batman means to them is to understand changing trends and thinking in American culture. The character of Batman has developed into a symbol with relevant characteristics that develop and evolve with each new story and new author. The Batman canon has become so large and contains so many different audiences that it has become a franchise that can morph to fit any group of viewers/readers. Our understanding of Batman and the many readings of him gives us insight into ourselves as a culture in our particular place in history.

    who’s Who in the War in Europe (National Archives and Records Administration, 342-FH-3A-20068.) POLITICAL LEADERS Allies FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT When World War II began, many Americans strongly opposed involvement in foreign conflicts. President Roosevelt maintained official USneutrality but supported measures like the Lend-Lease Act, which provided invaluable aid to countries battling Axis aggression. After Pearl Harbor and Germany’s declaration of war on the United States, Roosevelt rallied the country to fight the Axis powers as part of the Grand Alliance with Great Britain and the Soviet Union. (Image: Library of Congress, LC-USZ62-128765.) WINSTON CHURCHILL In the 1930s, Churchill fiercely opposed Westernappeasement of Nazi Germany. He became prime minister in May 1940 following a German blitzkrieg (lightning war) against Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. He then played a pivotal role in building a global alliance to stop the German juggernaut. One of the greatest orators of the century, Churchill raised the spirits of his countrymen through the war’s darkest days as Germany threatened to invade Great Britain and unleashed a devastating nighttime bombing program on London and other major cities. (Image: Library of Congress, LC-USW33-019093-C.) JOSEPH STALIN Stalin rose through the ranks of the Communist Party to emerge as the absolute ruler of the Soviet Union. In the 1930s, he conducted a reign of terror against his political opponents, including much of the country’s top military leadership. His purge of Red Army generals suspected of being disloyal to him left his country desperately unprepared when Germany invaded in June 1941.

    Indians, Environment, and Identity on the Borders of American Literature

    INDIANS, ENVIRONMENT, AND IDENTITY ON THE BORDERS OF AMERICAN LITERATURE Lindsey Claire Smith A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Gretchen Bataille Advisor: Trudier Harris Reader: Linda Wagner-Martin Reader: Maria DeGuzman Reader: Valerie Lambert © 2006 Lindsey Claire Smith ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Lindsey Claire Smith: INDIANS, ENVIRONMENT, AND IDENTITY ON THE BORDERS OF AMERICAN LITERATURE (Under the direction of Gretchen Bataille and Trudier Harris) This dissertation foregrounds boundary crossing among American Indians, African Americans, and Euramericans as a central feature of American literature. The authors discussed, including James Fenimore Cooper, William Faulkner, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, and Leslie Marmon Silko, place this cross-cultural contact in nature, not only collapsing cultural and racial boundaries, but also complicating divisions between “wilderness” and “civilization.” Responding to contemporary theoretical approaches to race, culture, and nationhood, this dissertation points toward the multiple perspectives and cultures that distinguish American literature as well as highlights the role of geography in these critical discourses, forging a connection between ecological theory and ethnic studies. Whereas Euramerican writers demonstrate multi-racial coexistence on the frontier as idyllic yet fleeting due to national expansion, African American and Native writers reverse this model, identifying Black-Indian alliance as the source of resistance to colonization and environmental degradation. This study thereby probes the prominent roles that American Indians occupy in major American novels, not only as emblems of ecological acumen, but more important, as participants in cultural exchange that informs American identity.
