C. Foreword 1. The Office of Naval Intelligence has undertaken to translate important parts of the War Diary of the German Naval Staff. The present volume, entitled War Diary of the German Naval Staff, Op- erations Division , Part A, Volume 2tf, is the first one of the series to appear. Other volumes will follow shortly. 2. The War Diaries, Part A, are important because they contain a day by day summary of the information available to the German Naval Staff and the decisions reached on the basis thereof. To- gether with the Fuehrer Conferences on Matters Dealing with the German Navy, 1939- 19^5 # which are in the process of being pub- lished by this office, the War Diaries should provide valuable material for the study of naval problems arising from total war. The War Diary, Part A, is also a useful index to the German Naval Archives of World War II; references may be found in the micro- film library of Naval Records and Library. 3. Due to the cost of publication, only a limited number of copies could be made; it is therefore desirable that the copies which have been distributed are made available to other offices which may be interested. Washington, D . C 19^7 9862 c CONFIDENTIAL 1 Dec. 1941 Items of Political Importance Great Britain ; In a speech on the occasion of the beginning of "Navy Week", the First Lord of the Admiralty declared that Japan is close to com- mitting a tragic error, should she choose to follov the voices of her chauvinistic militarists. Japan can expect nothing from Hitler tut the same fate as Italy. Aid to Russia depends main- ly upon accelerating British production in order to keep the British Armed Forces well equipped. According to news agency reports, a state of immediate readi- ness has been ordered in British Malaya. An Armed Forces High Command has been created for Burma. British-American discussions about economic consequences of the Lend-Lease Law are continuing, and are said to have led to con- siderable discord between the British Minister of Foreign Trade and the U.S. Ambassador. For details see Political Review No. 282. Turkey ; According to a DNB report from Ankara, news about the arrival of Russian warships in Turkey are to be regarded with considerable skepticism. Actually only three loaded tankers have entered the Bosporus so far. All reports about the passage and arrival of Russian warships are obviously premature. Conference on the Situation with the Chief, Naval Staff . I. > The Chief, Naval Communications Division reports that a teletype decoding machine has fallen into enemy hands in North Africa. The loss is unimportant. The alleged bad results at- tained by search receivers (S-Geraete) on destroyers are being checked by special officials. Inquiries so far have indicated that the actual technical installations meet all specifications. II. Naval Staff, Operations Division, Foreign Affairs Section reports that the Turkish Government, on account of the German protest regarding entrance and passage of Russian vessels in the Straits, has assented to procedure in accordance with regu- lations laid down at the Montreux conference. III. The Armistice Commission will begin the planned conferences on military questions on 27 Dec. First of all, the question of making French tonnage available for shipping troops and supplies to North Africa will be taken under consideration. _1_ 9862 1 Dec. 19*U CONFIDENTIAL Situation I Dec. 19*11 I. War In Foreign Waters 1. Enemy Situation ; North Atlantic ; According to newspaper reports, the assignment of U.S. Naval Forces to the Atlantic has permitted the British Navy to send considerable reinforcements to the Pacific as well as to the Mediterranean. A statement of further particulars concern- ing the suspension of the Neutrality Act in the U.S. may he read in News Analysis No. 41, Naval Staff, Foreign Navies Branch. According to a Reuter report from Washington, official circles there know of the existence of a secret device for long distance locating of planes and ships. This device has apparently been in use for some time. It is said to be possible to locate planes as well as naval craft on the surface and under water with this device. c 2. Own Situation : Ship "41" is informed by Radiogram 1200 about contents of a deciphered secret radio report of Admiralty to British cruiser SIDNEY and request to send position not later than 10 Dec. (see War Diary 30 Nov.). It is unlikely, however, that the radiogram will still bring re- sults, since there could hardly be any doubt about the Admiralty report. But it seems advisable in any case to send the message. Reports on the Enemy Situation by Radiogram 1305, 1500 and 2048. II. Situation West Area 1. Enemy Situation ; Nothing to report. 2. Own Situation ; Atlantic Coast ; Enemy daylight air activity in the La Pallice sector. No bombing. Channel Coast ; Battery "Hundius" and Army Coastal Battery *308' laid a barrage on enemy PT boats which had been reported by harbor defense craft at 2330. Results were not observed. On route _2- 9862 1 Dec. 1941 "Lila" skirmish "between 1st Motor Minesweeper Flotilla and Brit- ish PT boats. III. North Sea, Norway, Arctic Ocean 1. North Sea : Enemy Situation : Aerial activity normal during the day, becoming lively in the evening throughout entire North Sea area. Radio monitor- ing intercepts message from British vessel about sighting two PT "boats in the Harwich area. Own Situation : Unidentified targets located off Hook of Holland were fired on by battery "Veneta" during enemy air attacks centered mainly on Hamburg and Emden in the night of 30 Nov.. Emden sus- tained damage to the extent of 30 houses destroyed and about 300 damaged. There have been no reports of major military or eco- nomic damage throughout the area. Counting the 5 planes defi- nitely shot down during that night (see War Diary 30 Nov.), the total number of planes shot down within the command area of Ad- miral, North Sea Station has been brought up to 250. 2. Norway : Z "23", Z "25", and Z "27" left Bergen northbound on T T, 30 Nov.. U "134 ' and U 54" have left Kiel for Kirkenes to be at the disposal of the Commanding Admiral, Norway. U "131" has been detailed as a third ship for the northern area. Otherwise nothing to report. It is not contemplated to establish a com- mand post on land for the Admiral, Arctic Ocean. Extension of the radio stations in Hammerfest and Vardoe, as requested by the Commanding Admiral, Norway is unnecessary since submarine escort TANGA will be at the disposition of the Admiral, Arctic Ocean as long as the Norwegian area retains its present significance. After capture of Murmansk and disruption of the Russian overland route to Archangel the existing radio stations will be suffi- cient for the tasks which still remain. IV. Skagerrak, Baltic Sea Entrances, Baltic Se a 1. Enemy Situation : Enemy formation of five vessels sighted in squares 3516 A0 and 3542 A0 on southwest course. Finns intend to at- tack with surface forces and submarines. The 3rd Motor Mine- sweeper Flotilla took part in a short skirmish south of Jus- saroe without noteworthy results. -3- 9862 BC. 1941 CONFIDENTIAL 2. ~ l:.:-~l Dn: Lp raids on the Kiel and Sch'leswig-Holstein area curing the night of J? Nov. resulted in negligible military and I _al damage. Three enemy planes were shot down by naval anti-aircraft artillery. See Radiogram 23^5 for details. The steamer TE. TELS from convoy proceeding from Oslo to Vasa has been damaged by collision near Anholt. Troops were transferred casualties. TRAUTE:~::L5, which is temporarily grounded in shallow water, will dock in Copenhagen after leak has been re- _red. The office of Commander, Convoy Control Station, East was deactivated on 30 Nov.. Convoy control from now on by Com- mander, Mine sweeping Flotillas, North. V. Merchant Shipping : or ship RIO GRANDE received orders by Radiogram 1135 to pro- ceed to Osaka instead of to Yokohama, and not to establish land contact until Naval Attache has boarded shio. VI. Submarine Warfare 1. Enemy Situation : Radio monitoring intercepted enemy message from Brit- b vessel at 2045 from area between 7.5° and 22.5 E, in Mid- dle to South Atlantic. American steamers received orders in the night of 30 Nov. to change their course and not to acknowl- edge radio signals. According to Italian report, convoy SL 92 was located approximately 250 miles northeast of the Azores on northerly course on 22 Nov. A British plane sighted surfaced submarine off Cape Spartel at 2250. British troop transport RANDITATA (16,737 3RT) arrived at Gibraltar from the west according to Spanish report. Approxi- mately 500 Army and Navy personnel were seen on deck. A fairly large tanker as well as a transport of 15,000 3RT, which appar- ently carried troops, passed Gibraltar in the afternoon proceed- ing eastward. According to Italian report, a convoy of approxi- mately 25 steamers is due to leave Gibraltar within a short time, 2.

    A FOREIGN COUNTRY: GROWING UP IN RHODESIA Nigel Suckling Draft: © January 2021 1 I – MUNALI – 5 II – LIVINGSTONE – 43 III – PARALLEL LIVES – 126 IV – LUSAKA – 212 V – GOING HOME – 244 APPENDIX – 268 2 FOREWORD As a child you have no measure of how fast the world around you is changing. Because you’re developing so quickly yourself, you assume your environment is static and will carry on pretty much the same as you grow into it. This is true for everyone everywhere, naturally. Most old people can, if suitably primed, talk indefinitely about the changes they’ve seen in their lifetimes, even if they’ve never moved from the place where they were born; but some environments change more drastically than others, even without a war to spur things along. One such was Northern Rhodesia in southern Africa in the 1950s and 60s. As white kids growing up then we had no way of knowing, as our parents almost certainly did, just how fragile and transient our conditions were – how soon and how thoroughly the country would become Zambia, with a completely different social order and set of faces in command. The country of course is still there. In many ways its urban centres now look remarkably unchanged due to relative poverty. The houses we grew up in, many of the streets, landmark buildings and landscapes we were familiar with are still recognizably the same, much more so in fact than in many parts of Europe. What has vanished is the web of British colonial superstructure into which I and my siblings were born as privileged members, brief gentry on the cusp of a perfectly justified and largely peaceful revolution that was soon to brush us aside.

Peter Madsen Framing ‘Turks’: Representations of Ottomans and Moors in Continental European Litera- ture 1453-1683, ed. Peter Madsen Nordic Journal of Renaissance Studies 16 • 2019 General Editor of NJRS: Camilla Horster (NJRS was formerly known as Renæssanceforum: Journal of Renaissance Studies) ISSN 2597-0143. URL: www.njrs.dk/njrs_16_2019.htm FRAMING ‘TURKS’ NJRS 16 • 2019 • www.njrs.dk Preface The focus of this issue of Nordic Journal of Renaissance Studies is on Conti- nental Europe, i.e., areas bordering or situated near the Ottoman Empire or otherwise involved in close encounters. It has thus been important to include often neglected, yet most important nations like The Polish-Lithuanian Com- monwealth and Hungary (following the lead of the excellent volume edited by Bodo Guthmüller and Wilhelm Kühlmann: Europa und die Türken in der Renaissance, Tübingen 2000). It has also been important to consider literature beyond well-known classics, thus including works that attracted more atten- tion in their own times than they do today. Finally, it should be underscored how the literary (and intellectual) field beyond the vernaculars included pub- lications in Latin. The introduction is an attempt to situate the subject matter of the individual contributions within a broader historical, intellectual and literary field, thus including further documentation and additional literary examples. ‘Turks’ was the current denomination of contemporary Muslims, whether North African or Spanish ‘Moors’, or inhabitants of the Ottoman Empire or its spheres of various sorts of influence. It should be stressed, though, that although the Ottomans in terms of power and political establishment were Turkish, the inhabitants of the Empire were multi-ethnic and multi-religious.

However some of the tables in UKDS do not have National Statistics status – some are produced by areas outside of the scope of the Government Statistical Service; some do not yet meet all the quality standards of the Official Statistics Code of Practice; and others have not gone through the required assessment process to be classed as National Statistics. All such tables are clearly marked with explanatory notes. This year UKDS is once again being issued as a web document only, due to financial constraints within the Ministry of Defence. Each table and chapter is available in pdf format which is suitable for printing. There is also a pdf version of the entire publication, and of the UKDS factsheet. We have ceased publication of the UKDS pocket cards this year, since they are of limited value in electronic format.
