  • I. Introduction II. Key Vocabulary
    Committee: International Court of Justice ​ Issue: Jurisdictional Immunities of the State (Germany v. Italy: Greece intervening) ​ Student Officer: Amin Houta (International Court of Justice President) ​ Critical Date: 23/12/2008 ​ I. Introduction During the time of the Second World War, under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, Germany was intent on military expansion in order to “return Germany to its former glory.”1 This Nazi movement required and triggered genocide and ethnic cleansing on grargantuan scales to be undertaken in the European territories. Many of which were committed on Italian territory. After the end of the Second World War, Germany was required to implement several laws that would cause them to pay reparations to the victims of such attacks, however, former military internees did not fall under the confounds of this law and were thus unable to claim compensation. Many former Italian Military Internees, being unable to claim compensation, raised many civil cases against the German Government in Italian courts. Germany refused these claims not due to the substance of the facts, but that Germany believed these claims to be a violation of Germany’s jurisdictional immunity which prevented Germany from being subject to any form of administrative, civil or criminal proceedings in a foreign court without their consent. On 23rd of December 2008, the Federal Republic of Germany instituted proceedings against the Italian Republic, under the claim that Italy had failed to respect or recognize the jurisdictional immunity in which they enjoy under international law. According to Germany, Italy allegedly violated International law by allowing civil claims to be brought up against the German Government.

  • Field-Marshal Albert Kesselring in Context
    Field-Marshal Albert Kesselring in Context Andrew Sangster Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy University of East Anglia History School August 2014 Word Count: 99,919 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or abstract must include full attribution. Abstract This thesis explores the life and context of Kesselring the last living German Field Marshal. It examines his background, military experience during the Great War, his involvement in the Freikorps, in order to understand what moulded his attitudes. Kesselring's role in the clandestine re-organisation of the German war machine is studied; his role in the development of the Blitzkrieg; the growth of the Luftwaffe is looked at along with his command of Air Fleets from Poland to Barbarossa. His appointment to Southern Command is explored indicating his limited authority. His command in North Africa and Italy is examined to ascertain whether he deserved the accolade of being one of the finest defence generals of the war; the thesis suggests that the Allies found this an expedient description of him which in turn masked their own inadequacies. During the final months on the Western Front, the thesis asks why he fought so ruthlessly to the bitter end. His imprisonment and trial are examined from the legal and historical/political point of view, and the contentions which arose regarding his early release.

He followed his older brother, the author’s father, Philip J., into the U.S. Navy. Philip served in the South Pacific while Ed crewed in a 5-inch gun aboard the light cruiser USS Philadelphia . Before his nineteenth birthday, Eddie O’Connor participated in the invasion of Sicily, the landing at Salerno, the sbarco at Anzio-Nettuno followed by four months of daily missions from Naples to shell German forces besieging the beachhead, and the invasion of Southern France.

It examines a decisive change in Italian communist politics, as the Partito Comunista Italiano (PCI) rose from a hounded fraternity of prisoners and exiles to a party of government. Joining with other Resistance forces in the Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale (CLN), this ‘new party’ recast itself as a mass, patriotic force, committed to building a new democracy.

  • Adolf Hitler Would There Again Be Such a Ruthless Extermination of the Helplessly Ill
    TOUGH LOVE: THE RESCUE OF GERMANY “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Nazism HDT WHAT? INDEX NAZISM “MR. NATURAL” 1478 November 1, Sunday (Old Style): Pope Sixtus IV issued the papal bull that extended the power of the Santo Oficio, or Inquisition from France into the Iberian peninsula. The Inquisition, which had been initiated during the 13th Century, was not only involved in the suppression of religious dissidence, but had been and would be responsible for the torture and execution of many individuals whom they supposed to be possessed by an evil spirit, individuals whom we would now describe as having one or another mental illness. At Seville, inquisitors Miguel de Morcillo and Juan de San Martin would in about 3 years account for, in round numbers, about 500 such individuals. In Aragon, inquisitor Thomas de Torquemada would make quite a name for himself in the pursuit of deviance. Not until the regime of Adolf Hitler would there again be such a ruthless extermination of the helplessly ill. PROTO-NAZISM PSYCHOLOGY Of course, this sort of treatment was not reserved for the mentally ill. Forced Jewish converts to Catholic Christianity, known politely as conversos and impolitely as “swine,” who still (allegedly) practiced Jewish rites in secret within their own families, would be tortured until they confessed to such and then “relaxed” to the civil arm of government to be burned at the stake (this burning at the stake, itself, was not any part of the torture routines, which had already been completed by the Church, but was merely a manner of execution that if properly accomplished by the secular arm would not involve them in the Biblically forbidden “shedding of the blood”).
