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.

The Clean Wehrmacht: Myths about German War Crimes Then and Now An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Department of History. By Narayan Saviskas Under the mentorship of Dr. Brian Feltman. ABSTRACT On October 1st, 1946, the Nuremberg high command trails ended. The executions and life sentences of representatives of the German military and political elite were carried out by the Allied powers. At the time, the Soviet Union posed a greater threat than the Germans tried at Nuremberg. Years later, on October 9th, 1950, former officers of the German military gathered in Himmerod Abbey. Together they wrote the Himmerod Memorandum, which laid the foundation of the German rearmament and called for the release of German soldiers (Wehrmacht) and Schutzstaffel (SS) members convicted of war crimes.

Final Report NATO Research Fellowship Prof. Dr. Holger H
Final Report NATO Research Fellowship Prof. Dr. Holger H. Herwig The University of Calgary Aggression Contained? The Federal Republic of Germany and International Security1 Two years ago, when I first proposed this topic, I had some trepidation about its relevance to current NATO policy. Forty-eight months of work on the topic and the rush of events especially in Central and East Europe since that time have convinced me both of its timeliness and of its relevance. Germany's role in SFOR in Bosnia since 1996, the very positive deployment of the German Army (Bundeswehr) in flood-relief work along the Oder River on the German- Polish border in the summer of 1997, and even the most recent revelations of neo-Nazi activity within the ranks of the Bundeswehr, have served only to whet my appetite for the project. For, I remain convinced that the German armed forces, more than any other, can be understood only in terms of Germany's recent past and the special military culture out of which the Bundeswehr was forged. Introduction The original proposal began with a scenario that had taken place in Paris in 1994. On that 14 July, the day that France annually sets aside as a national holiday to mark its 1789 Revolution, 189 German soldiers of the 294th Tank-Grenadier Battalion along with their twenty- four iron-crossed armoured personnel carriers for the first time since 1940 had marched down the Champs-Elysées in Paris. General Helmut Willmann's men had stepped out not to the tune of "Deutschland, 1 The research for this report was made possible by a NATO Research Fellowship.

Hall värv andis tooni, kui 12. novembril 1955 üks ebatavaline grupp ini- mesi – enamik kandis tsiviil-, ent mõned ka vormirõivastust – kogunes Bonnis ühte tumeda riidega ülelöödud ratsutamishalli ning seisis seal pinevil närvilisusega. Kõlasid sõnad: “Me kanname vastutust tulevikus meie kätte usaldatud noorte sõjaväevormis riigikodanike eest.” Sada üks isikut kogunesid pidulikku smokingülikonda riietatud föderaalse kaitseministri Theodor Blanki ette.

The Military History Symposium is an annual event sponsored jointly by the Department of History and the Association of Graduates, United States Air Force Academy. The theme of the first symposium, held on 4-5May 1967 at the Air Force Academy, was “Current Concepts in Military History.” Several factors inspired the inauguration of the symposium series, the foremost being the expanding interest in the field of military history demonstrated at recent meetings of the American Historical Association and similar professional organizations. A professional meeting devoted solely to the subject of military his- tory seemed appropriate. The Air Force Academy’s Department of History has been particularly concerned with the history of military affairs and warfare since the founding of the institution.

The Myth and Reality of German Warfare: Operational Thinking from Moltke to Heusinger by Gerhard P
2017-058 7 Aug. 2017 The Myth and Reality of German Warfare: Operational Thinking from Moltke to Heusinger by Gerhard P. Gross. Ed. David T. Zabecki. Lexington: Univ. Press of Kentucky, 2016. Pp. xvi, 425. ISBN 978–0–8131–6837–1. Review by Michael Geheran, Clark University ([email protected]). The twentieth-century German military and its “way of war” continue to be subjects of an ever- proliferating body of literature and lively controversy. Surprisingly, there has been no comprehensive study of German operational thinking in the period, specifically within the broader framework of eco- nomic, social, and political developments. In The Myth and Reality of German Warfare , Gerhard Gross, a colonel in the Bundeswehr, 1 seeks to rectify that omission. The book’s US publisher deserves high marks for producing this solid (uncredited) translation of the 2012 German original, equipped with many high-quality maps and a substantive foreword by noted military historian Robert Citino. The volume’s first two chapters helpfully clarify the meaning of “tactics,” “operations,” and “strate- gy,” and discuss the central elements of space, time, and forces inherent in military operations. The other six chapters survey in detail the nature of operational thought in the German army from the late nineteenth century to the establishment of the NATO alliance. The author draws on a range of perti- nent primary documents in German military archives, including wartime diaries, official memoranda, and General Staff officers’ unpublished personal papers. Gross argues that modern German operational doctrine did not fundamentally change till after 1945 and that it reflected particular geographic, economic, and political circumstances: Germany’s cen- tral position in Europe, its desire for Great Power status, and its lack of the human and material re- sources needed to achieve it.

American Assistance to the New German Army and Luftwaffe
AMERICAN ASSISTANCE TO THE NEW GERMAN ARMY AND LUFTWAFFE James S. Corum Th is chapter aims to examine the political, technical, and personnel problems in the creation of the Bundeswehr between 1950–58 and the role the U.S. Army and Air Force played in assisting the formation of their German counterparts. Th e assistance that the U.S. military provided to the Germans was hardly a straightforward process. Both the Germans and the Americans could have very diff erent visions of an ideal army and air force, and there was considerable debate among the service staff s of the two nations throughout the whole proc- ess. Yet, while there was considerable debate and friction, the story is mostly one of very eff ective cooperation between the two nations. Th e build-up phase of the Bundeswehr resulted in a German force of which both the Germans and Americans generally approved. However, reach- ing the goal of an eff ective Bundeswehr meant overcoming numerous obstacles. Th e Himmerod Conference By 1949, aft er the Berlin Crisis and the founding of NATO and the establishment of the Bundesrepublik, the Western alliance realized that a major German rearmament program was essential in order to meet NATO defense goals. As Cold War tensions increased, a group of former Wehrmacht senior offi cers acting as military advisors for the Federal Government met in October 1950 at Kloster Himmerod to develop a program for German rearmament within the context of the Western Alliance. Th e Himmerod Conference, chaired by retired General Adolf Heusinger (who became the fi rst Generalinspekteur of the Bundeswehr), laid the foundations for developing armed forces for a democratic West Germany.

The Legend of the Wehrmacht’s “Clean Hands”: The Attempt to Remove Nazism from the German Military Abstract The legend of the Wehrmacht’s “clean hands” was created with the Himmerdoer Memorandum of 1950 and sought to disassociate the German military with its Nazi past. The legend gained popularity in the minds of the German people and successfully led to Germany’s rearmament after World War Two. Beginning in 1990, the legend was destroyed as the actions of the Wehrmacht during World War Two created a different picture than that of the legend.
