I also truly enjoyed Kiska - I wish I could be her quite frankly to know the Malazan world and events! This is a lot shorter, it's a very different vibe, and therefore it really is only worth reading from a 'fleshing out the story' point of view. Temper reads very much like the quintessential Malazan soldier so vital to this world, and he made a welcome break from Kiska's teen angst. Hopefully, Esslemont will find a compelling character s to anchor future volumes. However, the threat of a declaration of martial law from Hindenburg, the only person in Germany with the authority to potentially depose the Nazi regime, put Hitler under pressure to act.

Not to say that being confusing is the way one feels at home in this world, it's just an added bonus. Night of Knives should work as a great introduction to the main series, while also serving as a continuation of the prequels. Heard more guessed but not witnessed. Let me know what you thought Once it was the heart of the Imperial Malazan Empire but in the present day it is little more than a backwater. Rating: 4 stars. My only "critic" is that it was a very short book if you compare it to the others of this saga so it felt like an introduction to this new story arc and new characters instead of a complete book.

    THE NAZI BLOOD PURGE OF 1934 APPRCWBD": \r H M^jor Professor 7 lOLi Minor Professor •n p-Kairman of the DeparCTieflat. of History / cr^LtxJ~<2^ Dean oiTKe Graduate School IV Burkholder, Vaughn, The Nazi Blood Purge of 1934. Master of Arts, History, August, 1972, 147 pp., appendix, bibliography, 160 titles. This thesis deals with the problem of determining the reasons behind the purge conducted by various high officials in the Nazi regime on June 30-July 2, 1934. Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goring, SS leader Heinrich Himmler, and others used the purge to eliminate a sizable and influential segment of the SA leadership, under the pretext that this group was planning a coup against the Hitler regime. Also eliminated during the purge were sundry political opponents and personal rivals. Therefore, to explain Hitler's actions, one must determine whether or not there was a planned putsch against him at that time. Although party and official government documents relating to the purge were ordered destroyed by Hermann GcTring, certain materials in this category were used. Especially helpful were the Nuremberg trial records; Documents on British Foreign Policy, 1919-1939; Documents on German Foreign Policy, 1918-1945; and Foreign Relations of the United States, Diplomatic Papers, 1934. Also, first-hand accounts, contem- porary reports and essays, and analytical reports of a /1J-14 secondary nature were used in researching this topic. Many memoirs, written by people in a position to observe these events, were used as well as the reports of the American, British, and French ambassadors in the German capital.

  • Sie Kamen Aus Dem „Stahlhelm“ Frühe Kampfgenossen Hitlers, Die Früh in Den Widerstand Gingen
    Sie kamen aus dem „Stahlhelm“ Frühe Kampfgenossen Hitlers, die früh in den Widerstand gingen Ekkehard Klausa Kürzlich beschloss die Stadt Neuss, eine Straße nach ihrem ehemaligen Landrat Fer- dinand von Lüninck zu benennen, der 1944 als Widerstandskämpfer in Berlin- Plötzensee hingerichtet wurde. Die Fraktion „Die Linke“ im Stadtrat protestierte: Lüninck habe in der Weimarer Republik gegen die parlamentarische Demokratie, gegen das gleiche Wahlrecht sowie gegen Juden und Liberale gehetzt. Als vom NS- Regime eingesetzter Oberpräsident von Westfalen habe er sich an der Unterdrückung Andersdenkender beteiligt. Das ist wohl wahr. Lüninck war ein prominentes Mitglied des rechtsextremen „Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten“. Vier Jahre lang war er Landesführer in Westfa- len und Mitglied des Bundesvorstandes. Er war nicht der einzige Stahlhelmer, der am Ende Widerstand gegen die Gewaltherrschaft leistete und sein Leben verlor. Die so gegensätzliche Verbindung Stahlhelm und Widerstand ist weder Zufall noch Einzel- fall, sondern der nationalkonservative Widerstand stammte weitgehend aus dem mili- taristischen, radikal antidemokratischen, antiliberalen, antimarxistischen sowieso und auch antisemitischen Milieu. Der kompromisslose Kampf gegen das Weimarer „Sys- tem“ der „Novemberverbrecher“ war das Panier, und in diesem Kampf waren die späteren Widerständler aus dem Stahlhelm sehr viel erfolgreicher als im Widerstand. Wir wollen uns mit der Frage beschäftigen, wann sich ihre Wege von denen des NS-Regimes trennten, wann sie das Unheil erkannten und welche Konsequenzen sie daraus gezogen haben. Das Interesse an dieser Frage ist ein doppeltes: Zum einen hat jeder Widerstandskämpfer als Individuum ein gedenkendes Interesse verdient. Zum anderen mag ein Vergleich der Lebenswege der Stahlhelmer im Widerstand typische mentale Strukturen des nationalkonservativen Widerstands sichtbar machen, sozusa- gen eine ideologische Krankheitsgeschichte und ihre Therapiechancen.

ARTICLE FROM KING TO FÜHRER: THE GERMAN ARISTOCRACY AND THE NAZI MOVEMENT* by Stephan Malinowski A summary execution in the courtyard of the German High Command on the night of 21 July 1944 has entered the history books in a number of versions. The story encountered most often in the lit- erature reads as follows: in order to execute Count Claus von Stauffenberg, the firing squad had to shoot twice. At the moment of the first order to fire, Stauffenberg’s adjutant, Werner von Haeften, dramatically hurled himself in front of Stauffenberg and took the bul- lets with his own body. Before Stauffenberg was killed by the second volley, he stood up straight and called out: ‘Long live Secret Ger- many!’ The bodies were buried in a cemetery in Berlin-Schöneberg, only to be dug up again shortly afterwards on Himmler’s orders. They were burned and the ashes cast to the winds. This scene, so rich in symbolism, typifies the alleged incompati- bility between aristocracy and National Socialism.

The thing is about long journeys is that you end up meeting a lot of people on the road who not only transform it but also have a significant impact on the project. First of all, I wish to address my gratitude for the patience and constructive comments that my director, André Lecours, has always had for me as I struggled to find my direction. I am indebted to the encouraging emails and Skype conversations we had that helped keep my enthusiasm for the project. I also wish to thank Daniel Stockemer for reading my multiple drafts. His comments and ideas have always been important roads of guidance. I thank my friends who have listened to me as I bounced out ideas and who have provided me with intellectual support. I also wish to give my deep thanks to my parents who have supported me throughout this project. There were many late calls and editing support that was fundamental to me. Finally, I am greatly indebted to my amazing husband, Rafael who has constantly been my rock in so many different ways throughout this very long journey. I dedicate this thesis to you and our equally amazing children, René, Gabriel and Sophie, whose presence always reminded me of life outside academia and to keep laughing.

  • Die Tage Vor Hitlers Machtübernahme. Aufzeichnungen Des
    Dokumentation LARRY EUGENE JONES DIE TAGE VOR HITLERS MACHTÜBERNAHME Aufzeichnungen des Deutschnationalen Reinhold Quaatz* Am Tage nach Hitlers Ernennung zum Reichskanzler soll Alfred Hugenberg, der Führer der Deutschnationalen Volkspartei und mehrfache Minister im neuen Kabi­ nett, gesagt haben: „Ich habe gestern die größte Dummheit meines Lebens gemacht: ich habe mich mit dem größten Demagogen der Weltgeschichte verbündet."1 Das Zitat, obgleich nicht wörtlich verbürgt, spiegelt die Unsicherheit und die Besorgnis, die Hugenberg bei seinem Eintritt in das Kabinett empfand. Hugenbergs Unbeha­ gen beruhte wohl auf seinen Erfahrungen mit Hitler und auf den wiederholten Ent­ täuschungen, die er bei seinen Bemühungen um eine engere Zusammenarbeit mit der NSDAP erlebt hatte. 1929 hatte er sich zum ersten Mal mit Hitler zusammenge­ funden, im Reichsausschuß für das Volksbegehren gegen den Young-Plan, aus dem Hitler im April 1930 demonstrativ austrat, als Hugenberg und die DNVP zeitweilig das Kabinett Brüning unterstützten2. Achtzehn Monate später nahmen Hitler und Hugenberg an der großangelegten Kundgebung der nationalen Opposition in Bad Harzburg teil, die aber von vornherein durch erhebliche Spannungen zwischen Deutschnationalen und Nationalsozialisten belastet war3. Trotz Hugenbergs Bemü­ hungen um eine Verständigung mit Hitler und um die Aufrechterhaltung der Harz­ burger Front4 kam es im Frühjahr 1932 zu einem erneuten und endgültigen Bruch, als Hitler sich entschloß, gegen Hindenburg für das Amt des Reichspräsidenten zu kandidieren, und dadurch ein gemeinsames Eintreten der Harzburger Front zugun- * Für ihre Hilfe und Anregungen bei der Vorbereitung dieser Dokumentation bin ich Professor Wilma Iggers, Dr. Hans-Dieter Kreikamp, Thomas Maulucci und vor allem Professor Hans Mommsen dankbar.

  • The Rise of the Nazis Establishing Dictatorship │ the Plot to Destroy Democracy from Within (1918-1936)
    The Rise of the Nazis Establishing Dictatorship │ The Plot to Destroy Democracy from Within (1918-1936) When do every day social processes become more dangerous? Who is the first to notice? Are we really interested in, and able to, confront evil or do we embrace, assimilate, accommodate, and normalize evil? Why Germany? Why the Nazis? To what degree was support gained through coercion and/or consent? Hitler was not inevitable. It would be a critical misunderstanding to buy the self-propagated Hitler myth that it was his “will” and genius that brought him to power. Hitler was always rescued by others who underestimated him, but utilized him for their own purposes. Indeed, many were drawn to Nazism and Hitler more for short- term gain then an admiration of Hitler. What are the myths and realities about the Nazi rise to power and how does it challenge our understanding of our civic responsibilities in a democratic society? Dissatisfaction led to a “hazardous adventure.” - Carl von Ossietzky1 Antisemitism as Precedent In the 1510s Germany (the Holy Roman Empire) experienced the Protestant Reformation that would culminate in the devastation and religiously-fueled cruelty of the Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648). Luther was the lightning rod whose inner turmoil, uncertainty, anxiety, and desperate urge to find purity and certainty, led to a violent and antisemitic outburst that struck a chord amongst “Jews not welcome here.” those facing economic and religious uncertainty. Seeking a personal relationship Nazi Germany, 1930s. with Jesus drove his emotional needs for certainty and validation. The more turmoil he felt, the more he projected it onto others, especially non-Christians.
