Shirer (1904-1993) Dates: 1919-1993 Collection Number: zz2006.1 Quantity: 150 linear feet (approximate) Repository: George T. Henry College Archives, Stewart Memorial Library, Coe College Copyright: Copyright is retained by the Shirer family Restrictions on Access: Unrestricted Abstract: William Shirer was a journalist, news correspondent, and writer. He is most known for his broadcasts from Berlin during World War II, and for his books about that time period, most notably Berlin Diary, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, and The Nightmare Years. Shirer was also one of only two western correspondents to cover the beginning of India's independence movement and whom Gandhi allowed into his inner circle. Shirer's collection contains diaries, broadcasts, manuscripts (fiction & non- fiction), news articles, lectures, correspondence, and other writings. This collection includes both Shirer's published and unpublished works. Language: English [bulk], German, French Biographic Note William L. Shirer (1904-1993) was a diarist, journalist, historian, novelist, and playwright. He was born in Chicago but, upon the death of his father in 1913, Shirer and his mother moved to his mother's hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. There he attained his high school degree from Washington High (1921) and his Bachelor's Degree from Coe College (1925). Upon graduation Shirer immediately left for Europe where he became a copywriter for the Paris Tribune. In 1927 he became a foreign correspondent for the Chicago Tribune and in 1929 was promoted to Chief of the Central European Bureau. Over the next few years Shirer reported on India's independence movement, becoming one of the few western journalists with access to Mahatma Gandhi's inner circle. In 1934, Shirer became chief of the Berlin bureau for the Universal News Service and in 1937 moved to Vienna as CBS's European correspondent. The following year, Edward R. Murrow and Shirer began their now famous radio broadcasts as part of the European News Roundup, Murrow Reporting from London and Shirer from Berlin. As the war expanded throughout Europe, Shirer continued his broadcasts under heavy censorship from the German government. Shirer believed he was going to be arrested when he left Germany in December of 1940. After he returned to the United States he continued broadcasting for CBS and writing for the New York Herald Tribune. During this time he published his first book, Berlin Diary (1941), which became a best seller. In a dispute with CBS, Shirer quit the station in 1947, and joined the Mutual Broadcasting System. He continued to write both fiction and non-fiction, and in 1960 published The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich which won the National Book Award in 1961. William Shirer continued to write until his death in 1993. Some of his works include: End of a Berlin Diary, The Traitor, Stranger Come Home, The Collapse of the Third Republic, Twentieth Century Journey: A Memoir of a Life and the Times (three volume autobiography), Gandhi: a memoir, and Love & Hatred: The Troubled Marriage of Leo and Sonya Tolstoy. In all, Shirer published sixteen titles, thirteen non-fiction and three fiction works.

Sebald’s account of the firebombing of this northern German city in his book Luftkrieg und Literatur. With a thoroughly straightforward – if sometimes fragmented – vocabulary, Sebald goes on to regale his reader with the grizzly details that follow his textual establishing shot: ‘In a raid early in the morning on July 27, beginning at one A.M., ten thousand tons of high explosive and incendiary bombs were dropped on the densely populated residential areas east of the Elbe … A now familiar sequence of events occurred: first all the doors and windows were torn from their frames and smashed by high- explosive bombs weighing four thousand pounds, then the attic floors of the buildings were ignited by lightweight incendiary mixtures, and at the same time firebombs weighing up to fifteen kilograms fell into the lower storeys.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: the FURTHEST
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE FURTHEST WATCH OF THE REICH: NATIONAL SOCIALISM, ETHNIC GERMANS, AND THE OCCUPATION OF THE SERBIAN BANAT, 1941-1944 Mirna Zakic, Ph.D., 2011 Directed by: Professor Jeffrey Herf, Department of History This dissertation examines the Volksdeutsche (ethnic Germans) of the Serbian Banat (northeastern Serbia) during World War II, with a focus on their collaboration with the invading Germans from the Third Reich, and their participation in the occupation of their home region. It focuses on the occupation period (April 1941-October 1944) so as to illuminate three major themes: the mutual perceptions held by ethnic and Reich Germans and how these shaped policy; the motivation behind ethnic German collaboration; and the events which drew ethnic Germans ever deeper into complicity with the Third Reich. The Banat ethnic Germans profited from a fortuitous meeting of diplomatic, military, ideological and economic reasons, which prompted the Third Reich to occupy their home region in April 1941. They played a leading role in the administration and policing of the Serbian Banat until October 1944, when the Red Army invaded the Banat. The ethnic Germans collaborated with the Nazi regime in many ways: they accepted its worldview as their own, supplied it with food, administrative services and eventually soldiers. They acted as enforcers and executors of its policies, which benefited them as perceived racial and ideological kin to Reich Germans. These policies did so at the expense of the multiethnic Banat‟s other residents, especially Jews and Serbs. In this, the Third Reich replicated general policy guidelines already implemented inside Germany and elsewhere in German-occupied Europe.

    THE NAZI BLOOD PURGE OF 1934 APPRCWBD": \r H M^jor Professor 7 lOLi Minor Professor •n p-Kairman of the DeparCTieflat. of History / cr^LtxJ~<2^ Dean oiTKe Graduate School IV Burkholder, Vaughn, The Nazi Blood Purge of 1934. Master of Arts, History, August, 1972, 147 pp., appendix, bibliography, 160 titles. This thesis deals with the problem of determining the reasons behind the purge conducted by various high officials in the Nazi regime on June 30-July 2, 1934. Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goring, SS leader Heinrich Himmler, and others used the purge to eliminate a sizable and influential segment of the SA leadership, under the pretext that this group was planning a coup against the Hitler regime. Also eliminated during the purge were sundry political opponents and personal rivals. Therefore, to explain Hitler's actions, one must determine whether or not there was a planned putsch against him at that time. Although party and official government documents relating to the purge were ordered destroyed by Hermann GcTring, certain materials in this category were used. Especially helpful were the Nuremberg trial records; Documents on British Foreign Policy, 1919-1939; Documents on German Foreign Policy, 1918-1945; and Foreign Relations of the United States, Diplomatic Papers, 1934. Also, first-hand accounts, contem- porary reports and essays, and analytical reports of a /1J-14 secondary nature were used in researching this topic. Many memoirs, written by people in a position to observe these events, were used as well as the reports of the American, British, and French ambassadors in the German capital.

  • FDR, Japan, Pearl Harbor, and the Entry Into War in the Pacific
    Provocation and Angst: FDR, Japan, Pearl Harbor, and the Entry into War in the Pacific paul s. burtness and warren u. ober Through the afternoon of December 7, 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt kept getting more disheartening news about the devasta- tion wreaked by the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor. These reports were hard for him to fathom, for he knew that Washington had sent repeated alerts to all the Pacific bases—indeed, FDR had personally ordered warnings sent on November 27 and 28, which included a note that in a confrontation the United States would prefer to have the enemy fire first.1 This provision catered to Congressional isola- tionists, who would support combat only if U.S. forces were under attack. Although the president, unlike Secretary of War Henry Stim- son, was not surprised by the attack, the outcome must have caused him grave angst.2 Paul S. Burtness is Professor of English Emeritus at Northern Illinois University, where he served for ten years as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Warren U. Ober is Distinguished Professor of English Emeritus at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, where he served for ten years as Chair of the English Department. Both Burtness and Ober were junior U.S. Naval Reserve officers during World War II. Burtness was gunnery officer aboard the destroyer escort USS Kyne (DE 744), and Ober was a communications officer on the staff of Admiral Howard F. Kingman, Commander, Battleship Division 9, and, later, Commander, 3rd Fleet. In addition to publications in their field of English language and literature, Burtness and Ober have written extensively on Pearl Harbor and the onset of WW II in the Pacific.

Residence elsewhere, as I made up my mind in early life, is mere eclipse and obscurity to those whose energy is capable of shining in Rome.” Marcus Tullius Cicero “New York City, the incomparable, the brilliant star city of cities, the forty-ninth state, a law unto itself, the Cyclopean Paradox, the inferno with no out-of-bounds, the supreme expression of both the miseries and the splendors of contemporary civilization, the Macedonia of the United States. It meets the most severe test that may be applied to the definit ion of a metropolis – it stays up all night. But also it becomes a small town when it rains.” John Gunther “If you live in New York, even if you’re Catholic, you’re Jewish.” Lenny Bruce “There is no question there is an unseen world; the question is, how far is it from midtown, and how late is it open?” Woody Allen “I am not afraid to admit that New York is the greatest city on the face of God’s earth. You only have to look at it from the air, from the river, from Father Duffy’s statue. New York is easily recognizable as the greatest city in the world, view it any way and every way – back, belly, and sides.” Brendan Behan “Is New York the most beautiful city in the world?
