Hitler's Happy People: Kraft Durch Freude's Everyday Production Of Hitler’s Happy People: Kraft durch Freude’s Everyday Production of Joy in the Third Reich By Julia Timpe M.A., Brown University 2007 Thesis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History at Brown University Dissertation Committee: Prof. Omer Bartov Prof. Deborah Cohen Prof. Ethan Pollock PROVIDENCE, MAY 2013 © 2012 by Julia Timpe The dissertation by Julia Timpe is accepted in its present form by the Department of History as satisfying the dissertation requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________ _____________________________________ Date Omer Bartov, Advisor Recommended to the Graduate Council _______________________ ______________________________________ Date Deborah Cohen, Reader _______________________ ______________________________________ Date Ethan Pollock, Reader Approved by the Graduate Council _______________________ ______________________________________ Date Peter Weber, Dean of the Graduate School iii CURRICULUM VITAE Julia Timpe was born on November 21, 1980 in Wolfenbüttel, Germany and came to Brown University, Providence, RI in 2004 as an exchange student from Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany, where she was enrolled in a Magister Artium program in the fields of Modern and Contemporary History (major,) Modern German Literature and European Ethnology (minors.) At Brown, she first worked as a Teaching Assistant in the Department of German Studies, before entering the Ph.D. program of Brown’s History Department in 2006. She received an A.M. in History from Brown in 2007 and passed her preliminary examinations with distinction in 2008 in her major field Modern German History (with Omer Bartov) and her minor fields Modern European History (with Deborah Cohen) and Modern Russian History (with Ethan Pollock.) At Brown, she has worked as a Teaching Assistant in the Departments of History and German Studies, taught several courses in Brown’s Summer Program and an undergraduate seminar on the history Weimar Germany in the History Department. She has presented her work at several conferences, amongst them the annual GSA meeting in 2011 and the 2011 Agricultural History Society Conference. She has been recipient of a Fulbright Travel Grant and of a GHI Archival Summer Seminar Fellowship. From Brown University’s Graduate School, she received several fellowships, including, amongst others, the Chancellor Stephen Robert Fellowship, a Travel Fellowship (to conduct archival research in Germany), and a Dissertation Completion Fellowship. Brown’s History Department awarded her a McLoughlin Fellowship (to support her conference travel) and she received the German Studies Department’s Brown-Berlin fellowship (declined.) From 2012 to 2013, Julia will be a College Fellow at Harvard University’s History Department. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project would not have been possible without my advisor Omer Bartov and his ongoing support, guidance and inspiration throughout my graduate career and the research and writing process of this dissertation. My thanks also go to Deborah Cohen and Ethan Pollock for their valuable critical feedback to this work. Ethan was also a challenging, but patient mentor when it came to my academic writing in English. I would also like to thank Norbert Frei, Ulrich Herbert and Hasso Spode for taking the time to meet to discuss my dissertation with me. Furthermore, I received constructive and friendly feedback on early drafts of several chapters from faculty and graduate students participating in the Modern European Workshop at Brown’s History Department. Special thanks go to Sonja Glaab, Heidi Tworek and Adam Webster for their crucial input on chapter four. Sonja also read the final versions of the war chapters, helping me through the crazy final phases of revising – vielen, vielen Dank. Thanks also to Chris Barthel and Oded Rabinovitch, whose “wisdom of the elders” helped me to survive my prelims, the dissertation defense and the graduate program overall. In addition, many different people and institutions at Brown and elsewhere helped me in many different ways. I am grateful to Brown’s German Studies Department, in particular Jane Sokolosky, for facilitating my initial time at Brown and later extending my stay an extra year. Thank you to the staff of the Rockefeller Library – my second home (in Providence) –, and to the Writing Center, especially Hannah Sikorski. Finally, a huge thank you to the resourceful and ever-supportive staff of Brown’s History Department, Cherrie Guerzon, Mary Beth Bryson and Julissa Bautista. My research time in Germany was made easier by the generous support of the German Historical Institute and its Archival Summer Seminar, and by my friend Johanna Bade, v who gave me a place to stay in Berlin. I cannot list here all the archives and other institutions that allowed me access their material, but without their generosity this project would not have been possible – thank you! Finally I would like to thank my friends and family. My parents, Hannelore and Wolfgang Timpe, and my sister Wiebke (almost Fornahl) supported me unconditionally throughout my years at Brown, even though they probably thought there were too many of them. The Germans at Brown, especially Katrin Dettmer and Silja Maehl, provided me with a little Heimat. Especially in the final phase, Silja sustained me with proofreading, moral support, company in the library and even warm food. I am thrilled that the submission of this dissertation is marked by her new baby Johan’s arrival. For alternatively providing encouragement or much- needed distraction while completing my degree, Mahir Hadzic also deserves special mention. Last, but definitely not least, this project and my life in Providence would have been unimaginable without the incredible help I received from Eoin Ryan. He learned more than he ever wanted to know about KdF, read the whole dissertation at least three times, engaged patiently in long nightly discussions about its (missing) arguments and supported me overall on every step in the long process of getting my Ph.D. For what it’s worth, I dedicate this work to him. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 PART I: KdF envisioned Chapter One: Strength and Joy for a Happy Volksgemeinschaft: The Work and Goals of KdF and its Departments 28 PART II: KdF at Work Chapter Two: “Nazi Fun Factories?” Implementation and Reception of KdF’s “Cultural” Activities for Workers 83 Chapter Three: The Shop Floor as Gym for the Volksgemeinschaft: KdF Sports for the German Working Class 132 Chapter Four: Beautiful Villages, Happy Peasants: The Work of Kraft Durch Freude in the German Countryside 181 PART II: KdF at War Chapter Five: KdF’s ‘Warfare for Joy’: Entertainment for the Wehrmacht and for Occupied Europe 236 Chapter.

  • Alternate History – Alternate Memory: Counterfactual Literature in the Context of German Normalization
    ALTERNATE HISTORY – ALTERNATE MEMORY: COUNTERFACTUAL LITERATURE IN THE CONTEXT OF GERMAN NORMALIZATION by GUIDO SCHENKEL M.A., Freie Universität Berlin, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (German Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2012 © Guido Schenkel, 2012 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines a variety of Alternate Histories of the Third Reich from the perspective of memory theory. The term ‘Alternate History’ describes a genre of literature that presents fictional accounts of historical developments which deviate from the known course of hi story. These allohistorical narratives are inherently presentist, meaning that their central question of “What If?” can harness the repertoire of collective memory in order to act as both a reflection of and a commentary on contemporary social and political conditions. Moreover, Alternate Histories can act as a form of counter-memory insofar as the counterfactual mode can be used to highlight marginalized historical events. This study investigates a specific manifestation of this process. Contrasted with American and British examples, the primary focus is the analysis of the discursive functions of German-language counterfactual literature in the context of German normalization. The category of normalization connects a variety of commemorative trends in postwar Germany aimed at overcoming the legacy of National Socialism and re-formulating a positive German national identity. The central hypothesis is that Alternate Histories can perform a unique task in this particular discursive setting. In the context of German normalization, counterfactual stories of the history of the Third Reich are capable of functioning as alternate memories, meaning that they effectively replace the memory of real events with fantasies that are better suited to serve as exculpatory narratives for the German collective.

  • Sla Ver Y Hinterlandb
    SLAVERY HINTERLAND SLAVERY COVER ILLUSTRATIONS Front: Linen bleaching on the banks of the Wupper, ca 1800 (J.H. Bleuler) With permission of Bergischer Geschichtsverein, Bielefeld Back: Vriesenburg Plantation, Suriname Collection Kenneth Boumann (with permission) BRAHM, ROSENHAFT (EDS) ROSENHAFT BRAHM, SLAVERY HINTERLAND explores a neglected aspect of transatlantic slavery: the implication of a continental European hinterland. It focuses on Transatlantic Slavery and historical actors in territories that were not directly involved in the traffic in Africans but linked in various ways with the transatlantic slave business, Continental Europe, 1680-1850 the plantation economies that it fed and the consequences of its abolition. The volume unearths material entanglements of the Continental and Atlantic economies and also proposes a new agenda for the historical study of the relationship between business and morality. Contributors from the US, Britain EDITED BY FELIX BRAHM AND EVE ROSENHAFT and continental Europe examine the ways in which the slave economy touched on individual lives and economic developments in German-speaking Europe, Switzerland, Denmark and Italy. They reveal how these ‘hinterlands’ served as suppliers of investment, labour and trade goods for the slave trade and of materials for the plantation economies, and how involvement in trade networks contributed in turn to key economic developments in the ‘hinterlands’. The chapters range in time from the first, short-lived attempt at establishing a German slave-trading operation in the 1680s to the involvement of textile manufacturers in transatlantic trade in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. A key theme of the volume is the question of conscience, or awareness of being morally implicated in an immoral enterprise.

  • WINIFRED WAGNER. COMENTARIO DE UN LIBRO AUTOR: Walther Schertz-Parey SELECCIÓN: María Infiesta TRADUCCIÓN: Rosa María Safont
    WAGNERIANA CASTELLANA Nº 50 AÑO 2003 TEMA 4: BAYREUTH. FAMILIA WAGNER. PROTECTORES. TÍTULO: WINIFRED WAGNER. COMENTARIO DE UN LIBRO AUTOR: Walther Schertz-Parey SELECCIÓN: María Infiesta TRADUCCIÓN: Rosa María Safont . WINIFRED WAGNER: EIN LEBEN FÜR BAYREUTH . Walther Schertz-Parey. Leopold Stocker Verlag. Graz-Stuttgart 1999. 312 Págs. ISBN 3- 7020-0858-6. Se trata de una cuidada y trabajada biografía de Winifred Wagner, esposa de Siegfried y Directora de los Festivales de Bayreuth entre 1931 y 1944. El autor, Walther Schertz-Parey, es a su vez nieto de Albert Wagner, uno de los hermanos de Richard Wagner y pertenece, por lo tanto a la gran familia wagneriana en el significado más estricto de la palabra. Especializado en Filología Germánica, Historia y Musicología, se ha dedicado durante mucho tiempo a la investigación y el resultado se ha plasmado en diferentes libros y colaboraciones literarias. El presente volumen constituye uno de ellos. Schertz- Parey ha investigado durante muchos años antes de decidirse a entregar el original definitivo y el resultado es este libro que se lee con facilidad (las personas que dominan el idioma alemán, naturalmente), ofreciéndonos una lectura amena pero sobre todo muy humana de una gran figura femenina de la historia del wagnerismo. El libro merecería ser traducido a nuestro idioma y publicado por alguna Editorial de nuestro país pues llena un vacío enorme de la historia de los Festivales de Bayreuth. Pero, desgraciadamente, las publicaciones de carácter wagneriano que se editan anualmente en España suelen ser pocas y la que aquí comentamos no creemos que tenga esa suerte. Es por ello que, con permiso del autor y de la Editorial, reproducimos algunos párrafos traducidos directamente del original, por nuestra desinteresada y entusiasta colaboradora Rosa María Safont con la intención y el deseo de que el contenido de este resumen dé idea de la magnitud de la investigación Associació Wagneriana.

  • The Sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit Era
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 151-168 The sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit era Maria Mut Bosque School of Law, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Spain MINECO DER 2017-86138, Ministry of Economic Affairs & Digital Transformation, Spain Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London, UK [email protected] (corresponding author) Abstract: This paper focuses on an analysis of the sovereignty of two territorial entities that have unique relations with the United Kingdom: the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories (BOTs). Each of these entities includes very different territories, with different legal statuses and varying forms of self-administration and constitutional linkages with the UK. However, they also share similarities and challenges that enable an analysis of these territories as a complete set. The incomplete sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and BOTs has entailed that all these territories (except Gibraltar) have not been allowed to participate in the 2016 Brexit referendum or in the withdrawal negotiations with the EU. Moreover, it is reasonable to assume that Brexit is not an exceptional situation. In the future there will be more and more relevant international issues for these territories which will remain outside of their direct control, but will have a direct impact on them. Thus, if no adjustments are made to their statuses, these territories will have to keep trusting that the UK will be able to represent their interests at the same level as its own interests.

  • Mai Bis Einschl. Juli 1933
    Berichte aus dem „Allgäuer Beobachter“ Mai bis einschl. Juli 1933: Die hier vorliegende Aufbereitung von Artikeln aus dem „Allgäuer Beobachter“ im Zeitraum Mai, Juni und Juli 1933 ergibt ein sehr verdichtetes Bild der Veränderungen, die mit der Machtübernahme der Nationalsozialisten einhergingen. Zur Illustration wurden hierfür Fotos vom Arbeitdienst Ottobeuren eingestellt. Rechtlicher Hinweis: Die Abbildungen und Texte werden als zeitgeschichtliche Dokumente veröffentlicht. Sie sind zwar gemeinfrei, eine missbräuchliche Nutzung ist dennoch untersagt! Die zeitgeschichtlichen Dokumente aus der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus werden nur zu Zwecken der staatsbürgerlichen Aufklärung, der Abwehr verfassungsfeindlicher Bestrebungen, der wissenschaftlichen und kunsthistorischen Forschung, der Aufklärung oder der Berichterstattung über die Vorgänge des Zeitgeschehens gezeigt und sind in keiner Weise als propagandistisch zu sehen. Es gelten die Maßgaben im Sinne des § 86 und 86a StGB. Einige Worte zur Einführung: Mit der Machtübernahme der Nationalsozialisten am 30.01.1933 begann unmittelbar eine Zeit radikaler Umwälzungen. Gewählte Volksvertreter wurden aus den Gremien verdrängt („Der Parteienstaat ist überwunden“), durch Bedrohung, Angriffe (scheinheilig: „Da dem Bürgermeister von unbekannten Tätern die Fenster eingeworfen wurden, so beantragten wir am kommenden Morgen beim Staatskommissar, für die Sicherheit der Person des Bürgermeisters Sorge zu tragen.“) und Inhaftierung – gedroht wurde zynisch mit einem „Erholungsurlaub“ in Dachau – wurden politische

Prof. Kuhn and Dr. Valentina Rothe never allowed me to feel home sick and often called me over to their place. Their generous helpings of good food and lots of affection kept me in good spirits. Prof. Kuhn put me on to various archivists to explore material for research and I finally settled in the State Archives of Düsseldorf where I worked for a year under her supervision. I began writing in Berlin the next year at Prof. Karin Hausen’s Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Women and Gender at the Technical University, Berlin. Her colloquium provided me with an intellectually stimulating and friendly atmosphere and I managed to write two important chapters during my stay there. Prof. Hausen personally has been extremely encouraging. She patiently listened to what I had to say not necessarily on my thesis alone but on other matters of life.

Schade, Ph.D. ii Abstract In my dissertation “Atomic Apocalypse – ‘Nuclear Fiction’ in German Literature and Culture,” I investigate the portrayal of the nuclear age and its most dreaded fantasy, the nuclear apocalypse, in German fictionalizations and cultural writings. My selection contains texts of disparate natures and provenance: about fifty plays, novels, audio plays, treatises, narratives, films from 1946 to 2009. I regard these texts as a genre of their own and attempt a description of the various elements that tie them together. The fascination with the end of the world that high and popular culture have developed after 9/11 partially originated from the tradition of nuclear fiction since 1945. The Cold War has produced strong and lasting apocalyptic images in German culture that reject the traditional biblical apocalypse and that draw up a new worldview. In particular, German nuclear fiction sees the atomic apocalypse as another step towards the technical facilitation of genocide, preceded by the Jewish Holocaust with its gas chambers and ovens.

Prof. Dr. Walter Manoschek eingereicht von Christoph Wendler Wien, Oktober 2010 „Hitler hat den Menschen im Stande ihrer Unfreiheit einen neuen kategorischen Imperativ aufgezwungen: ihr Denken und Handeln so einzurichten, daß Auschwitz nicht sich wiederhole, nichts Ähnliches geschehe.“ (Adorno 1966, 358) Diese Arbeit ist all jenen Menschen gewidmet, auf deren Erkenntnissen mein eigenes Wissen fußt. I II Prolog Meiner Diplomarbeit seien zuallererst ein paar Dankesworte vorangestellt, da der Arbeitsprozess, der schlussendlich zu ihr hinführte, nicht im luftleeren Raum erfolgt ist, sondern eine lange Vorgeschichte aufweist. Ohne mehrjähriges Studium wäre mir das Verfassen dieser Arbeit nicht möglich gewesen. Das eigene Wissen zu vertiefen braucht Muße. In einer Gesellschaft aber, in der Zeit in engerem Sinne kostbar ist, denn „Zeit ist Geld“, setzt dies auch eine materielle Basis und Absicherung voraus. Mein besonderer Dank gebührt daher meinen lieben Eltern, Eva-Maria und Michael Wendler, für ihre großzügigen finanziellen Zuwendungen, die mich über all die Jahre davor bewahrt haben, meine Arbeitskraft zu Markte tragen und verkaufen zu müssen, sodass ich mich voll und ganz auf die Kopfarbeit konzentrieren konnte. Auch meinen Großeltern möchte ich an dieser Stelle recht herzlich dafür danken. Sie alle nahmen mir den Druck, der ansonsten wie ein Alp auf dem Intellektuellen lastet. So konnte ich meinen theoretischen Interessen und politischen Ambitionen unbeschwert nachgehen, und das in einem Maße, wie es den meisten Menschen in der kapitalistischen Vergesellschaftung zweifellos unmöglich ist.
