Уже на последнем заседании Национального кон- гресса в Киеве 8 IV 1917 г. было принято протестную резолюцию в отно- шении „претензий на земли непольские, заявленные временным Польским государственным советом в декларации на призыв Временного правитель- ства российского к соединению польского народа со свободным Россий- ским государством”1. Речь шла о сформированном немецкой оккупационной властью 6 XII 1916 г. варшавском Временном государственном совете (Rada Stanu) и воз- звании Временного правительства от 16 III 1917 г. „О восстановлении неза- висимости Польского государства, созданного из всех земель, заселённых преимущественно польским народом”, которое должно быть связано с Рос- сией „свободным военным союзом”. А под „землями непольскими” в ре- золюции Национального конгресса подразумевалась Холмская губерния, созданная в соответствии с законом Государственной Думы Российской губернии от 23 VI 1912 г. из восточных уездов Люблинской и Седлецкой губерний Царства Польского. Ради объективности следует всё же отметить, что в отдельных централь- ных и западных уездах Холмской губернии польское население, несомнен- но, преобладало над украинским, к тому же во время своего отступления летом 1915 г. российская армия осуществила принудительную эвакуацию украинского населения на восток, вследствие чего на Холмщине осталось лишь около 30 тыс. этнических украинцев. Необходимо также учитывать тот факт, что практически все польские национальные партии (за исключе- 1 Українська Центральна Рада. Документи і матеріали. Т. 1: 4 березня – 9 грудня 1917 р., (упоряд.)

И всё же представитель польской национальной демократии на Съезде народов России в Киеве 8–15 IX 1917 г. Ромуальд Кнолль тогда убеждал при- сутствующих, что „самостоятельное Польское государство не будет пося- гать на соседское добро, а будет жить в добром согласии и братстве со свои- ми соседями… Где бы ни жили поляки посреди другого народа, они всегда будут заботиться о благосостоянии этого края и поддерживать справед- ливую борьбу того народа, который в большинстве живёт в данном крае”. А Конрад Лукашевич от имени киевской группы Польской социалистиче- ской партии (ППС) провозгласил единение с „революционным движением украинской демократии – поскольку украинская демократия будущую фе- деративную связь с Россией базирует на государственности Украины”2. Однако проблема национально-государственной принадлежности Холмщины и Подляшья быстро стала камнем преткновения в налажива- нии двусторонних отношений между странами, которые объективно были призваны выступить гарантами невозможности возрождения „единой и неделимой” Российской империи в каком-либо виде. 14 XI 1917 г. Малая Рада приняла протест в отношении намерений Берлина и Вены присоеди- нить Холмщину, Подляшье и оккупированную ими часть Волыни к про- возглашённому 5 XI 1916 г. Польскому государству. Тогда же было решено „использовать

  • Quiet in the Rear: the Wehrmacht and the Weltanschauungskrieg in the Occupation of the Soviet Union
    Quiet in the Rear: The Wehrmacht and the Weltanschauungskrieg in the Occupation of the Soviet Union by Justin Harvey A thesis presented to the University Of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master Of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Justin Harvey 2018 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Historians widely acknowledge that the Second World War witnessed a substantial degree of ideology in the conflict itself. This paper will establish the degree to which the ideology of National Socialism shaped the Wehrmacht’s decision-making process prior to and during their occupation of the Soviet Union, as well as the outcomes of those decisions. To this end, those in positions of authority in the military – including Hitler himself, the OKW, the OKH and various subordinate commanders – will be examined to determine how National Socialist tenets shaped their plans and efforts to quell and exploit the occupied Soviet Union. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my most profound gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Alexander Statiev, for guiding me as this project came together. Your patience and support in this process were greatly appreciated. This work is dedicated to my grandfather, Jack Harvey, whom I never met, but whose service in the RCAF in the Second World War first inspired me to engage in the serious study of history.

  • Holocaust and Genocide 16:1
    “Anticipatory Obedience” and the Nazi Implementation of the Holocaust in the Ukraine: A Case Study of Central and Peripheral Forces in the Generalbezirk Zhytomyr, 1941–1944 Wendy Lower Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Numerous recent studies of the Holocaust as it occurred in the occupied So- viet territories have shifted attention from the central German leadership to the role of regional officials and administrators. The following case study offers an example of the ways central Nazi leaders directly and indirectly shaped the Holocaust at the regional level. In Zhytomyr the presence of Himmler, Hitler, and their SS-Police retinues created a unique setting in which the interaction of center and periphery can be traced. On this basis the author argues for the reconsideration of Berlin’s role in regional events generally. Since the appearance of Raul Hilberg’s path-breaking study The Destruction of the European Jews, which masterfully reconstructed the “machinery of destruction” that drove the Holocaust, historians have placed differing emphases on the role of the oper- ative functionaries and the leaders. In the past decade several young German historians (inspired by the work of Götz Aly and the sudden deluge of Nazi material from the former Soviet regional archives) have followed Hilberg’s lead by stressing both the role of district-level leaders in the “Final Solution” and the regional features of the Holo- caust itself. Indeed these scholars have impressively demonstrated the inner workings of what might be called the “regional Holocaust.” Recent Holocaust scholarship has shifted our attention away from the origins of the genocide at the level of state policy to the role of regional leaders and events on the ground in the former Soviet Union.

Die Literatur über die Täter nationalsozialistischer Verbrechen im deutschen Reich und nach Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges in ganz Europa ist im Laufe der Jahrzehnte stark gewachsen und dank der Forschung mangelt es nicht an einer Fülle von Quellen, aus denen die einschlägigen Biografien schöpfen können. Schwieriger ist es, aus den Verhältnissen und jeweiligen Umständen heraus, die zur Begehung der Verbrechen führten, die Täterbiografien zu verstehen. Dieser Aufgabe stellt sich die vorliegende Arbeit über Gottlob Berger und Oskar Dirlewanger, deren Lebenswege sich 1914 in Ulm und 1933 in Esslingen kreuzten und bis 1945 eng verflochten waren.

    [Click on highlighted footnote numbers to reveal their text. When finished reading note, click "[Back to text]" to return to the article.] Investigating Nazi Crimes in Byelorussia: Challenges and Lessons by Frank Buscher Since May 1992 I have worked as a historian for the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Section of Canada's Department of Justice. Like my colleague Howard Margolian, I have been in the fortunate position to research the Holocaust and other Ger man crimes as a historian and as a member of an official war crimes investigations team. One of the first lessons I learned was that, while there are many similarities, considerable differences exist between the two occupations. Prosecutors and courts a re not interested in historiographical schools and erudite speculation; they want the facts of a case. After a few weeks at the Section, I began to write like a policeman or a prosecutor, dealing exclusively with what could be proven on the basis of witn ess testimony and documentary evidence and paying attention to the minutest detail rather than speculating what might have been and identifying historical trends. To be sure, like the other historians, I have continued to write more traditional research papers. However, these have been written as historical background reports for the Section's attorneys and always with a view toward obtaining convictions or denaturalizations instead of making contributions to the body of academic knowledge. It is now almost 51 years after the end of the Second World War. It is safe to say that the era of war crimes investigations spawned by this conflict is nearing its end.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION n September 1, 1939, the Third Reich started World War II by at- Otacking the Polish Republic. A few days later Wehrmacht (German armed forces) reached the Polish capital, Warsaw, which capitulated on September 28, following a siege of just three weeks. This marked the start of German occupational rule; it lasted until the arrival of the Red Army on January 17, 1945, and cost the lives of more than 600,000 of the city’s origi- nal population of 1.3 million.1 In the Generalgouvernement Polen (General Government of Poland), which Hitler established in October 1939, the local population paid a high toll in blood for the military defeat infl icted by the aggressor from the West. The policies of General Governor Hans Frank, who established his capital not in Warsaw, but in Krakow, together with those of the other institutions of the Nazi regime, resulted in the deaths of at least 4.5 million inhabitants of Poland, two-thirds of them Jewish. There were more victims during the war in the Soviet Union than in Europe, which was invaded by German troops on June 22, 1941. The Soviet Republic of Belorussia was one of the fi rst regions to come under German rule, and with 2.2 million dead from a prewar population of 10.6 million, it was also one of the most severely hit.2 The Generalkommissariat Weißruthenien (General Commissariat of Belorussia), which was created by Berlin from parts of the Belorussian Soviet Republic and parts of pre- war Poland, was directed by General Commissar Wilhelm Kube in Minsk.
