It is affiliated with the American Historical Association, with the International Committee for the History of the Second World War, and with corresponding national committees in other countries, including Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

L- 3 ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP DUES Membership is open to all who are interested in the era of the Second World War. Annual membership dues of $15.00 are payable at the beginning of each calendar year. Students with U.S. addresses may, iftheir circumstances require it, pay annual dues of $5.00 for up to six years. There is no surcharge for members abroad, but it is requested that dues be remitted directly to the secretary of the wwrsA (not through an agency or a subscription service) in U.S. dollars. The Newsletter, which is mailed at bulk rates within the United States, will be sent by surface mail to foreign addresses unless special arrangements are made to cover the cost of airmail postage. NOTES FROM THE CHAIRMAN by Donald S. Detwiler On behalf of the World War Two Studies Association and myself personally, as one of its two elected officers, I wish to thank D. Clayton James for having served with me as secretary since January 1991, and his associate, Anne S. Wells, for having edited the newsletter, with its valuable series of essays on the foremost research repositories and centers of military studies and its indispensable bibliographic coverage of books and articles in English on the World War II era. I am personally grateful for their gracious cooperation, and my regret that they are not continuing beyond the end of 1993 in no way diminishes my appreciation, which I know is widely shared, for all they have done during the past three years to further the work of this association in World War II studies. In order that membership renewals for 1994 could be sent to the new secretary's address rather than to Lexington, Virginia, the annual election was held early in the fall. The directors nominated as new secretary Robert Wolfe of the National Archives, who, like several other directors of this association, is a member of the Board of Historians of the Battle of Normandy Foundation. He was nominated with the understanding that the secretariat would be based at the office of the Foundation (Suite 612, 1730 Rhode Island Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20036), which has kindly agreed to donate limited secretarial support on a year-to-year basis, beginning in January 1994. The new arrangements will be discussed at our next business meeting, but it will not, as in the past, be held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Historical Association (scheduled, starting this academic year, in the first week of January instead of the last week of December). For the second year in a row, the AHA Program Committee has rejected our proposal for a joint session. Although last year's proposal--a panel on the Soviet-German War organized by Tim Mulligan of the National Archives--was rejected, it was nonetheless conducted and well attended (in Washington) as an affiliated-society function, apart from the AHA program. At the AHA's San Francisco meeting in January 1994, it will not be feasible to implement, on the same basis, the proposal by Ben Frank of the Marine Corps Historical Center for a joint session of the wwrsA with the AHA on amphibious operations in World War II; however, the theme of the subsequent annual - 4 meeting, in Cincinnati in January 1995, is to be World War II, so the proposal is being submitted for consideration as a joint session at that time. Meanwhile, because we are not having a panel in San Francisco and because considerably more members of our association and its board are apt to be able to attend the annual meeting of the Society for Military History (formerly American Military Institute) in Washington in April than that of the AHA three months earlier in San Francisco, we are planning to hold our next business meeting during the SMH meeting from Friday through Sunday, April 8-10, 1994, at the Hyatt-Regency Bethesda, located at One Bethesda Metro Center, Bethesda, MD 20814, at the Metro station at the junction of Wisconsin Avenue and Old Georgetown Road. We are making tentative plans to meet on Saturday, April 9, at a precise time and place to be announced. Detailed information on the SMH meeting, the general theme of which is civil-military relations, will be mailed to members of the Society for Military History in January 1994, together with registration information. wwrsA members wishing to reserve rooms at the Hyatt-Regency for the meeting may contact the hotel at the address above by telephone at (800) 233-1234 or (301) 657-1234 (or fax at (301) 657-6453), requesting booking, at the group rate for historians during the Society for Military History meeting of $95.00 per room per night (for one or two beds, and one, two, or more persons). On the agenda at our April 1994 business meeting will also be plans for the sequel to our conference on America at War held at the National Archives in May 1993, as well as plans for the quinquennial conference of the International Committee on the History of the Second World War planned for the day-long symposium to be conducted at Montreal during the International Historical Congress from August 27 through September 3, 1995. Montreal planning was also a principal topic on the agenda of the executive board of the International Committee when it met at the Imperial War Museum in London on July 3, 1993. Convened under the chairmanship of David Dilks, it was attended by Henry Rousso as secretary-general and Peter Romijn as treasurer. Dusan Biber, Donald S. Detwiler, and Oleg A Rzheshevsky, who had been at the foregoing meeting in Amsterdam in September 1992, were joined by Domokos Kosary of Hungary, Czeslaw Madajczyk of Poland, and Georgio Rochat from Italy, who had not been at Amsterdam, as well as by Gerhard Hirschfeld who replaced Juergen Rohwer as representative of Germany, and Norman Hilmer of Canada, whose invitation had been resolved at Amsterdam.

  • The Impact of World War Two on the Individual and Collective Memory of Germany and Its Citizens
    The Impact of World War Two on the Individual and Collective Memory of Germany and its Citizens Laura Bowie Abstract: The domination of twentieth century history by World War Two and its aftermath are still heavily analysed and debated today. Despite this vast amount of research, little has been written about the emotional effects and the subjective experience of the Germans during and postwar. Every aspect of peoples’ lives was effected, thus creating a wealth of memory which can be used to analyse the emotional consequences of the war on the individual and on society. This piece of work looks at three main elements of postwar reaction and memory. 1.) The war’s impact on gender relations and the family unit 2.) Ideological warfare, the return of soldiers, and the idea of victimhood 3.) The destruction of towns and cities and the subsequent impact on concepts of history and nationhood. Alon Confino provokingly once asked why the citizens of the town of Emden wanted to set up a tourist board in May 1945.1 This poses many questions about the wider impact of World War Two upon Germany and its citizens. Essentially, whether the desire to set up a tourist board indicates that the war had not left deeper traces within German memory. As soon as the war ended there were many expectations, principally formulated by the Allies, regarding how 1 A.

  • Babi Yar - Nazi Massacre
    Babi Yar - Nazi Massacre WARNING: SCENES IN THIS CLIP - FROM "WAR AND REMEMBRANCE" - ARE RECREATED EVENTS ABOUT THE BABI YAR MASSACRE IN UKRAINE (AMONG OTHER ATROCITIES). PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION. In September of 1941, thousands of Jewish people were living in (and near) the city of Kiev (in Ukraine). The Nazis made a decision to kill those people during their invasion of the Soviet Union. Historians believe the most-documented of the Ukaine atrocities, committed by the Nazis, happened at a ravine known as Babi Yar in the city of Kiev. Sometime around the 26th of September, 1941, an order was posted in Kiev. Its English translation (containing offensive words) is roughly as follows: Yids [Jews] of the city of Kiev and vicinity! On Monday, September 29, you are to appear by 08:00 a.m. with your possessions, money, documents, valuables, and warm clothing at Dorogozhitskaya Street, next to the Jewish cemetery. Failure to appear is punishable by death. People thought this was a resettlement order, and they obeyed it. Instead, about 33,771 Jewish people lost their lives in a single massacre between September 29-30, 1941. Thousands of other people were also executed at the Babi Yar ravine. A monument, located about one mile from the ravine, commemorates the murders of "over 100,000 citizens of Kiev and prisoners of war." This clip - from "War and Remembrance," a critically acclaimed, award-winning mini-series by Dan Curtis - references/recreates those events. Note that Paul Blobel - a key SS Colonel in this clip who was responsible for the Babi-Yar massacre and later spearheaded efforts to eliminate evidence of Nazi atrocities - was later a defendant in the Nuremberg war- crimes trial.

  • Of the Many Hundreds of American Novels About the Second World
    Jonathan Lighter Battle Cry Revisited: “Don’t Worry, Mom, Everything is Going to be All Right” f the many hundreds of American novels about the Second World War, none has equaled the popular success of ex-Pfc. Leon Uris’s Battle Cry (1953), a spirited celebration of the U.S. Marines in the Pacific—in loveO and war, in combat and out. An indifferent student from an unhappy family background, Uris dropped out of high school in Baltimore early in 1942 to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps at the age of seventeen: during the ‘50s and ‘60s he became one of the top-selling American novelists in publishing history. As a radioman with Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines, Uris served at Guadalcanal and Tarawa before bouts of dengue fever and recurrent malaria resulted in his evacuation to Oak Knoll Naval Hospital in California; after an appropriate convalescence, he worked on war bond projects till the end of the war. Battle Cry, his first novel, was published in January, 1953, to immediate popular acclaim. As the book climbed the national bestseller lists, Uris told the press that he’d begun working on it in 1950, about four years after leaving the service. In the years since the war he’d worked at several jobs, most notably as home-delivery manager in the circulation department of the San Francisco Call-Bulletin. Ex-sergeant Merle Miller, a journalist, who had covered Eniwetok and Kwajalein for Yank: The Army Weekly and published a realistic novel, Island 49 (1945), about a Pacific invasion, hailed Battle Cry in the prestigious Saturday Review of Literature as “a wonderfully different kind of war novel,” which he hoped would be the start of a “whole new and healthy trend in American war literature.”1 As critics William Darby, Philip Beidler, and Kathleen Shine Cain have observed, Battle Cry—dedicated “to the United States Marines, and to one in particular, Staff Sergeant Betty Beck Uris,” the author’s wife—is “wonderfully different” from its blockbuster war-novel predecessors in several ways.

Gerber 1 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Penny L. Richards WELCOME! A few weeks ago, there was a Civil Rights Summit at the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin TX, marking the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. The four living presidents attended, which marks any event as major. Panels at the event considered the legacy of the civil rights movement, including in music, in sports, in gay marriage, in immigration, in education, in social justice. And until a few days before the event, there was no mention of disability rights as a civil rights movement. When this omission was pointed out, by the National Council on Disability among others, the program committee quickly added Lex Frieden to the social justice panel, and rightly so. But why didn’t they think to include someone to talk about disability rights sooner? Disability historians, when this sort of thing happens, we know there’s plenty of work to be done. Especially as the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act approaches, remember that, even in civil rights circles, the story of disability rights is still too often unfamiliar or misunderstood. Have you renewed your DHA membership for 2014? Please consider doing that right now, while you’re enjoying the newsletter, it won’t take but a moment.

  • How Women's Integration Transformed the Army, 1964
    STROHMER, THERESE M., Ph.D. Soldiers, Not Wacs: How Women’s Integration Transformed the Army, 1964-1994. (2016) Directed by Lisa Levenstein. 380 pp. In 2016, the Secretary of Defense opened all ground combat jobs in the military to women, permitting work in a field that had been off limits to them since the inception of the Women’s Army Corps in 1948. Yet little is understood about female soldiers’ journey to attain these roles. This dissertation shows how the 2016 decision did not emerge out of nowhere; earlier generations had laid the foundation. That foundation reflected both advocacy and achievement on the part of military women to gain access to a range of noncombat jobs on the battlefield. Women’s integration into these positions changed the meaning of combat from a geographic space exposing soldiers to hostile action, to a soldier’s specific direct ground combat role attacking the enemy. Women’s integration fundamentally transformed the Army workplace. Between 1964 and 1994, their presence in the Army increased from one percent to thirteen percent. As their numbers grew, they increasingly infiltrated the leadership ranks; by 2016, over seventeen percent of Generals were women. Having women in these leadership positions meant they commanded men, established plans for war and led troops in battle. Many ordinary soldiers pushed for policies that enabled mothers to serve, allowed women access to professional military education, and they consistently forced the military to confront the problem of sexual violence. Lesbian soldiers consistently pushed the Army for inclusion, by 2010 their efforts resulted in the right of all homosexuals to serve openly.
