Journal of Modern History, Volume 54, (March 1982), pp. 027-046 http://hdl.handle.net/10945/44218 Barbarossa Revisited: A Critical Reappraisal of the Opening Stages of the Russo-German Campaign (June-December 1941) Russel H. S. Stolfi Naval Postgraduate School In the Soviet Union in 1941, a complex, ill-understood play of events projected the German field armies in the east close to Moscow in the late autumn of the year, but ended with their ultimate defeat. The reigning Soviet interpretation of the campaign remains the one in which the natural strengths of the Russian motherland and the inspired leadership of the Communists predetermined a Soviet Russian triumph over the invading Germans. Western historians and writers also gener­ ally agree that Hitler subjected himself and the Germans to inevitable defeat by the invasion of the Soviet Union. However, critical reapprais­ al of the opening stages of the Russo-German campaign fails to sup­ port the present Soviet and western views of the war, showing rather that the German successes of the first four weeks virtually assured the seizure of Moscow-the rail, road, political, psychological, and demo­ graphic plexus of the USSR-in the late summer of 1941.

  • Rigg Bm.Pdf (651.5Kb)
    notes note on sources Although oral testimonies are subject to fallible human memories, they have none- theless proven invaluable in explaining several documents collected for this study. Documents never before seen by historians, found in people’s closets, basements, and desk drawers, created a much fuller and complex history, especially when their owners supplied the background and history of the documents as well. These sources helped re-create the unique and tragic history of the Mischlinge, which is still so little understood over half a century later. The thousands of pages of documents and oral testimonies (on 8 mm video and VHS video) in this study are now part of the permanent collection at the Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv in Freiburg, Germany, as the Bryan Mark Rigg Collection. Although interviews need to be treated with some skepticism, they have repeatedly shown that oral history often enriches rather than contradicts historical documents. All too often, history is written without the human element, that is, without knowing what these people thought, felt, and believed. Oral history helps reconstruct many of these people’s thoughts, feelings, and beliefs through their diaries, letters, interviews, and photographs. In this way, a healthy combination of hard documents or primary sources and secondary sources and testimonies expands our sense of this history. Often one reads about men and women but feels no human connection with them. The interviews were done to try to bridge this gap and to pro- vide readers with the means to enter these men’s and women’s thoughts and feelings to understand them better and to deepen readers’ knowledge of this history.

The Myth of the Eastern Front: The Nazi-Soviet War in American Popular Culture. By Ronald Smelser and Edward J. Davies II. (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2008). xii, 327 pp. $ 21.99, ISBN 978-0-521-71231-6. Ronald Smelser and Edward J. Davies II present an intriguing and utterly compelling argument in their book, The Myth of the Eastern Front. Contrary to the stereotypical Nazi villains of popular post-World War II war film, the authors argue that a very different kind of narrative of the German soldier emerged on the Eastern Front. Fueled by the onset of the Cold War and starting in the 1950s, American military officers, politicians and, finally, the public “were uncommonly receptive to a view of World War II as it was fought in Russia that was remarkably similar to that of many Germans, especially leading circles of the former German military and even National Socialists” (p.

    Operation Barbarossa and Germany’s Defeat in the East Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, began the largest and most costly campaign in military history. Its failure was a key turning point of the Second World War. The operation was planned as a blitzkrieg to win Germany its Lebensraum in the east, and the summer of 1941 is well known for the German army’s unprecedented victories and advances. Yet the German blitzkrieg depended almost entirely upon the motorised panzer groups, particularly those of Army Group Centre. Using previously unpublished archival records, David Stahel presents a new history of Germany’s summer campaign from the perspective of the two largest and most powerful panzer groups on the eastern front. Stahel’s research provides a fundamental reassessment of Germany’s war against the Soviet Union, highlighting the prodigious internal problems of the vital panzer forces and revealing that their demise in the earliest phase of the war undermined the whole German invasion. DAVID STAHEL is an independent researcher based in Berlin.

  • Kursk Kann Das Veranschaulichen
    349 Die Frage nach der Wirklichkeit des Krieges ist eine der schwierigsten historiographi- schen Fragen; das Beispiel der Schlacht von Kursk kann das veranschaulichen. Obwohl sie als größte Panzerschlacht der Welt und Wendepunkt des deutsch-sowjetischen Krieges stets im Mittelpunkt des Interesses stand, sind zentrale Fragen nach wie vor ungeklärt. Sie werden durch diese konzise Schlachtbeschreibung nicht nur definitiv beantwortet. Diese zeigt auch, fast wie in einem Lehrstück, wie sehr gerade eine politische, psycholo- gische und moralische Grenz- und Ausnahmesituation wie der Krieg die Mythenbildung fördert. Roman Töppel Kursk – Mythen und Wirklichkeit einer Schlacht Horst Naumann (✝) gewidmet 66 Jahre sind nunmehr seit der Schlacht bei Kursk vergangen. Angestoßen durch die langsame Öffnung des russischen Militärarchivs Anfang der 1990er-Jahre und durch kritischere russische Publikationen über diese zentrale Schlacht des „Gro- ßen Vaterländischen Krieges“ ist in den vergangenen Jahren viel zur Aufarbei- tung der militärischen Ereignisse im Sommer 1943 geleistet worden. Doch wirken die alten Mythen, welche die beteiligten Militärs nach dem Krieg verbreiteten, immer noch nach, schon weil sie jahrzehntelang die zeitgenössischen Quellen ersetzen mussten. Dieser Beitrag will einige solcher Behauptungen kritisch beleuchten. So stellt sich beispielsweise die Frage, ob die seinerzeit führenden deutschen Militärs wie Generaloberst Walter Model, dessen 9. Armee von Norden zum Angriff auf Kursk antreten sollte, wirklich gegen eine Offensive waren, wie häufig angenommen wird. Und stimmt die Aussage von Generalfeldmarschall Erich von Manstein, die deutsche Offensive sei auf ihrem Höhepunkt wegen der angloamerikanischen Landung auf Sizilien am 10. Juli 1943 abgebrochen worden? Hat man damit einen deutschen Sieg verschenkt? Einige Historiker behaupten dies bis zum heu- tigen Tag.

Baldwin Clausewitzin Nazi Germany I A study of Clausewitz's influence on the thoughts and minds of those who made Nazi Germany is an exercise in the futility of tradi- tional intellectual history, at least in so far as it applies to the events of recent times.
