  • Operation Sunrise: America’S OSS, Swiss Intelligence, and the German Surrender 1945

    Operation Sunrise: America’S OSS, Swiss Intelligence, and the German Surrender 1945

    Operation Sunrise: America’s OSS, Swiss Intelligence, and the German Surrender 1945 by Stephen P. Halbrook* Operation Sunrise was a cooperative effort of American and Swiss intelligence services which led to the unconditional surrender of the German Wehrmacht forces in Northern Italy and Western Austria on May 2, 1945. General Heinrich von Vietinghoff, Commander-in- Chief of the Southwest Command and of Army Group C, surrendered nearly a million soldiers, the strongest remaining German force. This was the first great surrender of German forces to the Allies, and became a strong impetus for the final Allied victory over Nazi Germany on May 8, Victory in Europe (VE) Day. Operation Sunrise helped to nip in the bud Nazi aspirations for guerilla resistance in an Alpine redoubt. Sunrise, sometimes referred to as “Crossword,” has special significance today beyond the sixtieth anniversary of the German surrender. Despite Switzerland’s formal neutrality, Swiss intelligence agents aggressively facilitated American efforts to end the war. Ironically, the efforts of key U.S. intelligence agents on the ground to orchestrate the surrender were hampered and almost scuttled by leaders in Washington to appease Joseph Stalin, who wished to delay the surrender in the West so that Soviet forces could grab more territory in the East. *This paper was originally presented at the conference Sunrise ‘05, Locarno, Switzerland, May 2, 2005, and was published in “Operation Sunrise.” Atti del convegno internazionale (Locarno, 2 maggio 2005), a cura di Marino Viganò - Dominic M. Pedrazzini (Lugano 2006), pp. 103-30. The conference was held to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the surrender of German forces in northern Italy.

    HIS6934-09 State, Society, and Rebellion in Modern Germany Prof

    HIS6934-09 State, Society, and Rebellion in Modern Germany Prof. Nathan Stoltzfus EUH 4465, Fall 06 447 Bel, [email protected] T 2:00 Bel 0048 COURSE DESCRIPTION The colloquium examines state and society in modern Germany to review the question of whether Germans have been as politically docile in history as in stereotypes. Within the various political structures that characterize modern Germany, how have ordinary Germans and society as a whole expressed influence, how important were popular uprisings in bringing about political reform, and how does this compare with the experiences of other European states? We will trace developments of the public political sphere in relationship to social disturbances and unrest, paying particular attention to the politics of the street, that public space of potential influence for ordinary people with little access to levers of power, whether within empire, regime, or democracy. REQUIREMENTS Each student must: 1) Read all the common reading assignments in advance of class. 2) Write a 500-word précis of the common reading and email it to the entire class by Monday noon in advance of Tuesday’s meetings. The précis should summarize a book or article’s thesis and identify its key points (rather than critically evaluating it). However, in addition you must each include in this email to the others two or more questions that will help the class critically evaluate the reading for that week. 3) Constructively and regularly contribute to seminar discussions. 4) Write one 5-page historiographic essay on one of the weekly course topics, distribute a copy of the essay to each student in class, and make an oral presentation of the material to the class.

  • 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

    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.
  • Wehrmacht Security Regiments in the Soviet Partisan War, 1943

    Wehrmacht Security Regiments in the Soviet Partisan War, 1943

    Ben Shepherd Wehrmacht Security Regiments in the Soviet Partisan War, 1943 Historians generally agree that, as an institution, the German Wehrmacht identified strongly with National Socialism and embroiled itself in the Third Reich’s criminality through a mix- ture of ideological agreement, military ruthlessness, calculation and careerism.1 Less certain is how far this picture extends to the Wehrmacht’s lower levels — individual units and jurisdictions, middle-ranking and junior officers, NCOs and rank-and-file sol- diers. For the German Army of the East (Ostheer), which fought in the ideologically coloured eastern campaign (Ostfeldzug) of extermination, subjugation and plunder against the Soviet Union, the scale of complicity, of the resulting killing and of the manpower involved make lower-level investigation especially pertinent. The picture emerging from a detailed, albeit still embryonic, case study treatment of units of the Ostheer’s middle level (mitt- lere Schicht) — a picture which, thanks to the nature of the sources available, is significantly fuller than that of its rank and file — is one in which motivation and conduct, whilst unde- niably very often ruthless and brutal, were nonetheless multi- faceted in origin and varied in form and extent.2 This article argues that, if the dynamics behind mittlere Schicht brutality are to be understood more fully and their effects quantified more comprehensively, the mittlere Schicht itself needs breaking down and examining in terms of the different levels — divisions, regi- ments, battalions and others — that comprised it. The setting is the Ostheer’s anti-partisan campaign in the central sector of the German-occupied Soviet Union, namely Byelorussia and the areas of greater Russia to the east of it, during the spring and summer of 1943.

    German U-Boats in the Atlantic, 1939-43

    Jones A Hopeless Gambit? 研究会記録 A Hopeless Gambit? - German U-Boats in the Atlantic, 1939-43 - Marcus Jones Many remember the Battle of the Atlantic as a decisive campaign of the Second World War.1 As in the First World War, Allied strategy against Germany depended on whether Britain and the United States could maintain shipping routes across the north Atlantic: western support of the Soviet Union, the North African campaigns, and, not least, the eventual invasion of the European continent all depended on success against the U-boats. The stakes of the Atlantic war are less clear for Nazi Germany, however. The grand strategic objective of the country’s megalomaniacal leader, Adolf Hitler, was the creation of a Thousand Year Reich through the conquest of living space in the east and brutal subjugation or elimination of the native peoples there. As he reiterated on many occasions, securing his westward flank need not have involved the complete subordination of Britain; indeed, he struggled with that question until December 1941, and at various turns complained that the only obstacle to a settlement was the intransigent Winston Churchill. Regardless, the struggle for the sea lanes is frequently viewed as a resounding German defeat, alternately tragic or gratifying based on how one judges the motivations of the U-boat crews. It is difficult to escape the impression that the German navy waged an essentially hopeless war against a vastly superior foe – superior in wealth, resources, personnel, technological capacity, and especially strategic depth. And at least on an operational level, the German campaign against Allied shipping was indeed a dismal failure.

Ukraine, Belarus & Bessarabia) By Henry L. deZeng IV Kharkov-Rogan I Photo credit: U.S. National Archives, Photographic and Cartographic Division.; taken 14 Sept. 1941. Kharkov-Rogan I was built in 1930 for use as a military flight school. It had 8 medium and large aircraft hangars and 1 very large repair hangar, approx. 40 permanent barrack buildings, 3 workshops, admin buildings and storage structures, an oval athletic track and other facilities all grouped along the W boundary and SW corner of the landing area. There were about 10 additional structures along the S boundary that may have been for aircraft servicing and stores. Additionally, there were 22 blast bays for twin-engine and single-engine aircraft spaced along the W and S boundaries of the landing area. A separate supply dump with its own rail spur was approx. 1 km S of the airfield. Nearly all of these buildings had been destroyed or badly damaged by 1944, the majority of them blown up by the retreating Germans. Edition: February 2020 Airfields Russia (incl. Ukraine, Belarus & Bessarabia) Introduction Conventions 1. For the purpose of this reference work, “Russia” generally means the territory belonging to the country in September 1939, the month of the German attack on Poland and the generally accepted beginning of World War II, including that part of eastern Poland (i.e., Belarus, Belorussia, Weissruthenien) and western Ukraine annexed by the Soviet Union on 29 September 1939 following the USSR’s invasion of Poland on 17 September 1939. Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina were seized by the USSR between 26 June and 3 July 1940.
