Bis in die frühen Morgen- 9 stunden hatten sie in der Arcandor-Zentrale in Essen-Bredeney ver- 10 sucht, das Unausweichliche zu verhindern. Doch eine echte Chance hat- 11 ten die Vorstandsmitglieder von Arcandor und ihre Berater nicht mehr. 12 Nur der Mut der Verzweiflung hatte sie noch so lange in den Büros ge- 13 halten und in immer neue Konferenzen getrieben. 14 Nach wenigen Stunden Schlaf waren sie jetzt, am frühen Dienstag- 15 morgen, wieder da und versuchten, sich mithilfe des Kaffees im Papp- 16 becher aus der Starbucks-Filiale im Erdgeschoss auf Betriebstemperatur 17 zu bringen. Doch die Luft war raus, die Stimmung im Siebziger-Jahre- 18 Bau an der Autobahn 52 war noch gedrückter als in den Tagen zuvor. 19 Nicht einmal die Politiker wollten ihnen mehr helfen, trotz des Wahl- 20 kampfes. Erst hatte Berlin am Montag die staatliche Bürgschaft für Ar- 21 candor, später auch den Rettungskredit abgelehnt. Aber ohne Sicherung 22 durch die Bundesregierung wollten die Banken die Kredite nicht verlän- 23 gern. Vorstandschef Karl-Gerhard Eick, der noch kurz zuvor, auf einer 24 knallroten Leiter stehend, seine Mitarbeiter per Megafon zum Durch- 25 halten aufgefordert hatte, sah den Überlebenskampf als verloren an.

  • World War II Book.Indd
    BOB HART WWllThe odyssey of a “Battling Buzzard” “Anything worth dying for ... is certainly worth living for.” –Joseph Heller, Catch-22 t was August 15, 1944, D-Day for Dragoon, the Allied invasion of southern France. Fifteen-hundred feet above a drop zone Ishrouded in fog, the wind buffeted Bob Hart’s helmet the instant before he plunged into the unknown at 4:35 a.m. “As soon as you got to the doorway all you saw was white. Most of us figured we were jumping over the Mediterranean. And for a split second all you could think was ‘I got 120 pounds of gear on me. What’s going to happen when I land?’ ” But now he was falling. “A thousand and one,” Hart said to himself as another paratrooper sprang from the doorway of the lumbering C-47. “A thousand and two. “A thousand and…” Hart’s body harness jerked taut reassuringly as the primary parachute billowed. Had he got past “three” he would have yanked the ripcord for the reserve chute bundled on his chest. The business about paratroopers yelling “Geronimo!” was mostly bravado that got old in a hurry after jump school. Paratroopers prepare for a practice jump from a C-47. Bob Hart collection 2 Bob Hart Descending in the eerie whiteness, the 20-year-old machine gunner from Tacoma fleetingly remembered how he and a buddy had signed up for the paratroopers 16 months earlier at Fort Lewis, reasoning they wouldn’t have to do much walking. Fat chance. After Hart landed hard in a farmer’s field in the foothills above the Côte d’Azur, he ended up tramping 50 miles through hostile countryside on an aching foot that turned out to be broken.

  • Fascist Italy's Aerial Defenses in the Second World War
    Fascist Italy's Aerial Defenses in the Second World War CLAUDIA BALDOLI ABSTRACT This article focuses on Fascist Italy's active air defenses during the Second World War. It analyzes a number of crucial factors: mass production of anti- aircraft weapons and fighters; detection of enemy aircraft by deploying radar; coordination between the Air Ministry and the other ministries involved, as well as between the Air Force and the other armed services. The relationship between the government and industrialists, as well as that between the regime and its German ally, are also crucial elements of the story. The article argues that the history of Italian air defenses reflected many of the failures of the Fascist regime itself. Mussolini's strategy forced Italy to assume military responsibilities and economic commitments which it could not hope to meet. Moreover, industrial self-interest and inter-service rivalry combined to inhibit even more the efforts of the regime to protect its population, maintain adequate armaments output, and compete in technical terms with the Allies. KEYWORDS air defenses; Air Ministry; anti-aircraft weapons; bombing; Fascist Italy; Germany; radar; Second World War ____________________________ Introduction The political and ideological role of Italian air power worked as a metaphor for the regime as a whole, as recent historiography has shown. The champions of aviation, including fighter pilots who pursued and shot down enemy planes, represented the anthropological revolution at the heart of the totalitarian experiment.1 As the Fascist regime had practiced terrorist bombing on the civilian populations of Ethiopian and Spanish towns and villages before the Second World War, the Italian political and military leadership, press, and industrialists were all aware of the potential role of air 1.

  • Leadership in Social Movements: Evidence from the “Forty-Eighters”
    American Economic Review 2021, 111(2): 1–35 https://doi.org/10.1257/aer.20191137 Leadership in Social Movements: Evidence from the “Forty-Eighters” in the Civil War† By Christian Dippel and Stephan Heblich* This paper studies the role of leaders in the social movement against slavery that culminated in the US Civil War. Our analysis is orga- nized around a natural experiment: leaders of the failed German rev- olution of 1848–1849 were expelled to the United States and became antislavery campaigners who helped mobilize Union Army volun- teers. Towns where Forty-Eighters settled show two-thirds higher Union Army enlistments. Their influence worked through local newspapers and social clubs. Going beyond enlistment decisions, Forty-Eighters reduced their companies’ desertion rate during the war. In the long run, Forty-Eighter towns were more likely to form a local chapter of the NAACP. JEL D74, J15, J45, J61, N31, N41 ( ) Between 1861 and 1865, the United States’ North and South fought each other over the issue of slavery in the American Civil War. One in five adult men, 2.2 mil- lion in the North alone, took up arms to fight in the Union Army. Fighting was costly on both sides. In total, 620,000 men lost their lives, as many as in all other American wars combined Hacker 2011, Costa and Kahn 2003 . At the same time, the finan- ( ) cial incentives to fight in the war were low. Union Army privates earned about $13 per month, less than a farmhand Edmunds 1866 , and payment was irregular. In the ( ) South, there were stronger economic motives at least for some, since the war was about the survival of Southern institutions and property Hall, Huff, and Kuriwaki ( 2019 .

Goodman, William E. Simon Chair in Political Economy and Senior Adviser for Asian Economics, CSIS Sarah Ladislaw, Director and Senior Fellow, Energy and National Security Program, CSIS Moderator: Colm Quinn, Deputy Director, Strategic Communications, CSIS Time: 9:15 a.m. EDT Date: Thursday, June 29, 2017 Transcript By Superior Transcriptions LLC www.superiortranscriptions.com COLM QUINN: OK. Thank you, Cynthia (sp). Hi there. Welcome to this call. Thanks, everyone, for joining us. I know it’s a very busy week, going into the holiday as well. Just brief introduction. I’m Colm Quinn. I’m the deputy director for strategic communications here. I will be handing over to my colleagues who are with me here: Jeff Rathke, who’s our deputy director of our Europe Program; Matthew Goodman, who is the Simon Chair in Political Economy; and Sarah Ladislaw, who’s the director of our Energy Program here. We’re going to begin with Jeff Rathke, who will provide brief remarks. Following everyone’s remarks, we will go into the Q&A. Jeff? JEFFREY RATHKE: All right. Thanks. Colm. It’s great to be here with everyone this morning, and I’m happy to give a bit of an overview. The president is embarking on his second overseas trip. And I think one of the big questions on the minds of our friends, allies and adversaries around the world is how – whether it will mirror his first trip, which, as you will recall, was marked by a contrast between the stop in Saudi Arabia and the stop in Israel, that appeared successful initially – at least in the Saudi Arabia case – and the friction with NATO allies, the European Union, and leaders of the G7 advanced industrial democracies.

  • Irno Scarani, Cronache Di Luce E Sangue (Edizione Del Giano, 2013), 128 Pp
    Book Reviews Irno Scarani, Cronache di luce e sangue (Edizione del Giano, 2013), 128 pp. Nina Bjekovic University of California, Los Angeles The contemporary art movement known as Neo-Expressionism emerged in Europe and the United States during the late 1970s and early 1980s as a reaction to the traditional abstract and minimalist art standards that had previously dominated the market. Neo-Expressionist artists resurrected the tradition of depicting content and adopted a preference for more forthright and aggressive stylistic techniques, which favored spontaneous feeling over formal structures and concepts. The move- ment’s predominant themes, which include human angst, social alienation, and political tension reemerge in a similar bold tone in artist and poet Irno Scarani’s Cronache di luce e sangue. This unapologetic, vigorous, and sensible poetic contem- plation revisits some of the most tragic events that afflicted humanity during the twentieth century. Originating from a personal urgency to evaluate the experience of human existence and the historical calamities that bear everlasting consequences, the poems, better yet chronicles, which comprise this volume daringly examine the fear and discomfort that surround these disquieting skeletons of the past. Cronache di luce e sangue reflects the author’s firsthand experience in and expo- sure to the civil war in Italy—the highly controversial period between September 8, 1943, the date of the armistice of Cassibile, and May 2, 1945, the surrender of Nazi Germany, when the Italian Resistance and the Co-Belligerent Army joined forces in a war against Benito Mussolini’s Fascist Italian Social Republic. Born in Milan in 1937 during the final period of the Fascist regime, Scarani became acquainted with violence and war at a very young age.

Eine Sendung von Helmut Frei. Sprecherin: 15. August 2009. An diesem Samstag schlossen die letzten Hertie-Warenhäuser in Deutschland. Der Hertie-Song, der die Beschäftigten zu Höchstleistungen an der Verkaufsfront anstacheln sollte, hatte ausgedient. Sprecher: Das Ende kam nicht überraschend. Das Angebot der Warenhauskette wirkte nach Ansicht vieler Konsumenten genauso altbacken wie die Einrichtung. Junge Leute fanden kaum noch den Weg zu Hertie. Die Insolvenz des Unternehmens war nicht abzuwenden. Bereits in den Jahren davor hatte das Unternehmen Standorte aufgegeben. Anfang 2009 waren noch 63 Hertie-Filialen übrig. Dass auch kleine, familiengeführte Warenhaus-Firmen kapitulieren müssen, ist oft nur eine Randnotiz in einer Regionalzeitung wert. Im Brennpunkt stehen die Großen der Branche wie Karstadt. Nun steht auch der einst führende Warenhaus-Konzern Europas unter dem Regiment eines Insolvenzverwalters. Nach dessen Auffassung sind derzeit 19 von insgesamt 90 Karstadt-Filialen in ihrer Existenz bedroht.

[email protected] Abstract This article presents a case study examining the slow-death of the Berlin Führerbunker since 1945. Its seventy year longitudinal perspective shows how processes of ruination, demolition and urban renewal in central Berlin have been affected by materially and politically awkward relict Nazi subterranean structures. Despite now being a buried pile of rubble, the Führerbunker’s continued resonance is shown to be the product of a heterogeneous range of influences, spanning wartime concrete bunkers’ formidable material resistance, their affective affordances and evolving cultural attitudes towards ruins, demolition, memory, memorialisation, tourism and real estate in the German capital. Keywords Ruin – Demolition – Bunkers – Subterranean – Berlin – Nazism – Heritage – Materiality 1 On 30th April 1945 Adolf Hitler committed suicide in the Führerbunker, a reinforced concrete structure buried 8.5 metres beneath the ministerial gardens flanking the Reich Chancellery in central Berlin.
