OTHER LOSSES Publisher's Note OTHER LOSSES Publisher's Note We caution the reader not to be so lost in the politics of horrors as to equate the brutal revenge described in this book with the much greater evil of a state-instigated campaign of hatred and systematic murder that was the singular legacy of Nazi Germany. There are those who would cynically use this work to fan hatreds in their attempt to flatten the differences in atrocities by equating, and thus nullifying, them. We have lived in the shadow of World War IT for so long that we've grown accustomed to seeing oniy the inhumanity of the enemy. Thus, we were able to live with the comforting idea that because our cause was noble, our actions, too, were largely beyond reproach. There is still no doubt in the mind of any but a tiny group of historical revisionists that the fight against Nazi Germany was, as Studs Terkel calls it, "the Good War." However, in this dark, brooding, and painstakingly well-researched book, you will discover that at the end of World War IT, when Germany was conclusively defeated, a policy of hatred deliberately and indifferently caused the death by disease, exposure, and starvation of massive numbers of disarmed' German soldiers and some civilians. Certainly, few books in recent memory have instigated as much controversy among scholars and other interested readers. And yet, James Bacque keeps ferreting out more information that makes his arguments more convincing all the time. (This edition contains a new epilogue and a new appendix not previously published in the original Canadian edition of this book.) Furthermore, even Eisenhower apologists cannot deny the graphic descriptions of both American and German eyewitnesses, as well as the newly discovered document quoting Konrad Adenauer. In a free society, the truth must be exposed, regardless of the consequences-especially if we don't like to hear it. The Shocking Truth Behind the Mass Deaths 01 Disarmed German Soldiers and Civilians Under General Eisenhower's Command JAMES BleQUE Prima Publishing The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them but to be indifferent to them; that's the essence of inhumanity.

  • Remedies for Victims of Violations of International Humanitarian Law
    RICR Septembre IRRC September 2003 Vol. 85 No 851 497 Remedies for victims of violations of international humanitarian law LIESBETH ZEGVELD* International humanitarian law (“IHL”) has never been confined to the level of relations between States.1 On the contrary, the initiators of the nineteenth century conventions already believed that human persons had inviolable rights even during armed conflicts.2 However, recognition of rights is one thing, the right to claim those rights is another. So far, States have been reluctant to entitle, explicitly and in general, victims of violations of international humanitarian law to claim reparation. As humanitarian law treaties do not expressly envisage causes of action for victims in national or international law, they are hardly able to exercise their rights. On this point international humanitarian law sharply contrasts with tendencies in international law. In spite of the gap in the International Law Commission’s Articles on State Responsibility, which were finally adopted in 20013 but fail to mention rights of individuals in the regime of secondary rights,4 it is generally known that human rights treaties provide a remedy, both substantive and procedural, for individuals suffering injury from unlaw- ful conduct by State authorities. For example, Article 13 of the European Convention on Human Rights stipulates that individuals whose rights as set forth in that Convention are violated shall have “an effective remedy before a national authority”. And Article 50 of the same Convention mandates the European Court of Human Rights to afford just satisfaction to victims. Human rights treaties also provide for specific provisions on compensation, for example to victims of unlawful arrest or detention.5 Most recently, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court6 authorizes the Court to determine any damage, loss or injury to victims and order reparations to them.

He is a man who has tried to kill you and, having failed to kill you, asks you not to kill him.” —Winston Churchill Abstract : The four years I spent in British and Canadian POW Camps offered ample time to study English Literature. This experience in particular had a decisive effect on my later career as university teacher of English literature. It also helped me to become one of the first Anglicists at German and Austrian universities, who included Canadian literature in his syllabus and a founder member of the German Association for Canadian Studies. In this essay based on my war-autobiography, I describe the experience of German POWs in Canada. I was captured in 1942 when serving as third officer of the watch on board U-331 after my vessel was sunk in the Mediterranean by a torpedo fired from a RAF Albacore.

  • Pows and Mias in Vietnam, 1965-73
    A Guide to Historical Holdings in the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library PRISONERS OF WAR (POWs) AND PERSONNEL MISSING IN ACTION (MIAs) Compiled by David J. Haight Dwight D. Eisenhower Library Staff 1998 Introduction The Eisenhower Library’s holdings span portions of four major periods of international conflict: World War II, the Korean War, the Cold War era, and the Vietnam War. All of these conflicts involved military actions resulting in military and civilian personnel being captured and held prisoner with some individuals listed as missing and unaccounted for. Three of these wars are obvious choices for coverage in a guide such as this one. The Cold War era in the 1950s, however, if the Korean War is excluded, did not involve major air, land and sea battles generating large numbers of casualties. Instead, this period was characterized by intelligence gathering operations conducted in a veil of strict secrecy. Nevertheless, military personnel, aircraft, vessels and equipment were used and military actions occurred. These resulted in the confirmed capture or death of some personnel but also the disappearance without confirmation of the fate of others. The largest quantities of documentation covered by this guide pertain to World War II and the Korean War. Only a tiny quantity of materials in our holdings has been identified as pertaining to POW/MIAs during the Vietnam War period from 1959 to 1975. The most widely scattered and also the most heavily security-classified materials are those pertaining to Cold War reconnaissance operations. Because the Papers of Dwight Eisenhower and those of his military associates primarily document United States military operations, much of the material covered in this guide relates to United States military personnel or the handling of enemy prisoners of war captured by the United States and its allies during World War II and in Korea.

Lewis, Ph.D. ________________________________ Co-Chair: Theodore A. Wilson, Ph.D. Date approved: 06 December 2016 iii Abstract In late spring, 1941, a small group of U.S. Army officers traveled to Britain to plan for Anglo-American cooperation if and when the U.S. entered World War II. Because the United States was still a neutral country and to prevent potential enemies from knowing the group's purpose, the U.S. Army called its mission to Britain the "U.S. Army Special Observer Group" (SPOBS). From May, 1941 until June, 1942, SPOBS (known as U.S. Army Forces in the British Isles or USAFBI after January 8, 1942) developed plans with the British for establishing U.S forces in the British Isles. Changing strategic conditions however, made much of this work obsolete. As a result, the Allies had to develop new plans for establishing U.S.

    A PORTRAIT OF GLENN MILLER Alton Glenn Miller (1904-1944) Produced by: DENNIS M. SPRAGG Updated April 2018 1 Alton Glenn Miller, 1904-1944 Produced by Dennis M. Spragg, with commentary from the GMA George T. Simon (1912-2001) Collection and Papers, Edward F. Polic Papers and Christopher Way Collection. Foreword By Harry Lillis “Bing” Crosby (1904-1977) “As the years go by, I am increasingly grateful that I was a tiny part of the era of the great swing bands. This was the golden age of popular music for me. They were all great, but I have to think that the Glenn Miller band was the greatest. Unlike so many of the others, Glenn was not a virtuoso instrumental soloist. And so instead of his horn he did it with great personnel and innovative harmonic experiments producing a sound that was his and his alone. Glenn employed a harmonization that was new and vastly different. If I even attempted a description of what he did, I would be immediately adrift. I think it was the way he voiced his instruments. It was just beautiful. And when you heard the sound, it was recognizable and memorable. It was just Glenn Miller. Glenn as a person was just as memorable. He was a very good personal friend, from the early days on, ever since he performed on some of the records I made with the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra during the early stages of my career. During World War II we were united for the last time, when I sang in London with his great AAF Orchestra.
