Bundesvereinigung Opfer Der NS-Militärjustiz“ Möglich
Die vorliegende Arbeit wurde in dieser Form nur durch die Mitarbeit der „Bundesvereinigung Opfer der NS-Militärjustiz“ möglich. Mein besonderer Dank gilt den Herren Baumann und Theilmann sowie allen befragten Personen, die sich die Zeit genommen haben, auf meine Fragen zu antworten. 1 Einleitung und Forschungsstand Am 29.11.1995 veranstaltete der Deutsche Bundestag eine Anhörung zum Thema Entschädigungszahlungen an die Opfer der NS-Militärjustiz. Nachdem der ehemalige Wehrmachtrichter Ottfried Keller der Wehrmachtjustiz „ohne Zweifel“ rechtsstaat- lichen Charakter zugebilligt hatte und darüber hinaus angab, die Verfahren seien für die Angeklagten „segensreich“ gewe- sen, kam es zu einem Eklat. Die bündnisgrüne Abgeordnete Christa Nickels bezichtigte Keller, er „rechtfertige Nazi-Urteile“, worauf ihr der rechtspolitische Sprecher der Unionsfraktion, Norbert Geis, vorwarf, „sie ertrage die Wahrheit nicht“.1 Was aber ist die Wahrheit? Welche Motive trieben zehntau- sende Soldaten zur Fahnenflucht?2 Mit welchen Folgen hatten sie zu rechnen, wenn sie gefaßt wurden, und auf welcher Grundlage fällten die Richter der Wehrmacht ihre Urteile? In- wieweit war die Wehrmachtjustiz Teil des nationalsozialistischen Unrechtsstaates? Diese Fragen gaben den Anstoß für die fol- gende Arbeit. Dabei soll keineswegs ein zweites Urteil über die überlebenden Deserteure gefällt werden.3 Vielmehr geht es darum, Einsichten in die Hintergründe des militärischen Unge- horsams zu gewinnen. Theo Schulte hat es treffend formuliert: 1 Frankfurter Rundschau, 30.11.1995, S. 1. 2 Zum Ausmaß der Desertionen im 2. Weltkrieg siehe Punkt 2.1 dieser Arbeit. Im Folgenden werden die Begriffe Fahnenflucht und Desertion synonym verwendet. 3 Dies ist der Ansatz der Bundesregierung, die auf einer Einzelfallprüfung besteht, weil es auch Richter gegeben habe, die „sich um ein unab- hängiges Urteil bemüht haben“. -

HISTORY | LEGENDS Eugene B. Sledge and Mobile: 75 Years After “The War” Mobilian Eugene Sledge is recognized the world over as a USMC combat veteran of World War II, but there is even more to know, and admire, about “Ugin” of Georgia Cottage. text by AARON TREHUB • photos courtesy AUBURN UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES xactly 75 years ago this spring, in May and June 1945, Mo- bile native and U.S. Marine Corps PFC Eugene Bondurant Sledge was fighting on Okinawa as a mortarman with Com- pany K, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment of the 1st Ma- Erine Division. Sledge was already a combat veteran by this time, having received his baptism of fire on Peleliu in September and October 1944. He was 21 years old. Years later, Sledge described the fighting on Okinawa in mid-May 1945 and the recurring nightmares that it inspired. “The increasing dread of going back into action obsessed me,” he wrote. “It became the subject of the most tortuous and persistent of all the ghastly war nightmares that have haunted me for many, many years. The dream is always the same, going back up to the lines during the bloody, muddy month of May on Okinawa. It remains blurred and vague, but oc- casionally still comes, even after the nightmares about the shock and violence of Peleliu have faded and been lifted from me like a curse.” Nightmares haunted Sledge for decades after the war: as a com- bat veteran and student attending Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn University) on the G.I. Bill in the late 1940s; as a young husband and father pursuing graduate degrees at API and the Uni- versity of Florida in the late 1950s; and as a professor of biology at the University of Montevallo from the 1960s through the 1980s. -

“Zersetzung Und Zivilcourage“
EXPOSEE In dieser Dissertation geht es um die Rolle von Frauen im Alltag des Nationalsozialismus und Krieges von 1939-1945. Nicht nur, dass Frauen selbstständig den Arbeits- und Kriegsallta g meisterten, sie mussten auch Ängste, Gefahren und Terror überstehen. Als dann besonders in den letzten Kriegsjahre n immer mehr Frauen einen deutlichen Unmut über die verheerende Situatio n öffentlich zum Ausdruck brachten oder gar flüchtigen Soldaten Beihilfe zur Fahnenfluc ht leisteten, wurde dieses „wehrkraftzersetzende Verhalten“ gesetzlich und richterlich verfolgt und schwer bestraft. Die zentrale Fragestellung dieser Arbeit richtet sich insbesondere auf die Praxen “ZERSETZUNG der Überlebenssicherung ausgewählter Geschichten von Frauen in verschiedenste n Momenten der Verfolgung. Die historische UND Auseinandersetzung mit „eigensinnigen“ Frauen als Akteurinne n im Krieg, soll zu weite r e n gesellschaftlichen Diskursen über ZIVILCOURAGE“ Geschlechterdifferenzen im Krieg, bestehenden Urteilen der NS- Justiz und bislang unbeachtet „Die Verfolgung des Unmuts von Frauen gebliebene Verfolgten und Verfolgern beitragen. im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland Maren Büttner während des Krieges 1939 - 1945.“ Universität Erfurt „Zersetzung und Zivilcourage“ Die Verfolgung des Unmuts von Frauen im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland während des Krieges 1939 – 1945. zur Erlangung eines Grades einer Doktorin der Philosophie -Dr. phil.- Philosophische Fakultät Maren Büttner Dekan: Prof. Dr. Guido Löhrer Gutachter: 1.

Kiev 1941: Hitler's Battle for Supremacy in the East
Kiev 1941 In just four weeks in the summer of 1941 the German Wehrmacht wrought unprecedented destruction on four Soviet armies, conquering central Ukraine and killing or capturing three-quarters of a million men. This was the battle of Kiev – one of the largest and most decisive battles of World War II and, for Hitler and Stalin, a battle of crucial importance. For the first time, David Stahel charts the battle’s dramatic course and after- math, uncovering the irreplaceable losses suffered by Germany’s ‘panzer groups’ despite their battlefield gains, and the implications of these losses for the German war effort. He illuminates the inner workings of the German army as well as the experiences of ordinary soldiers, showing that with the Russian winter looming and Soviet resistance still unbroken, victory came at huge cost and confirmed the turning point in Germany’s war in the east. David Stahel is an independent researcher based in Berlin. His previous publications include Operation Barbarossa and Germany’s Defeat in the East (Cambridge, 2009).

The time has come to deal the enemy a terrific blow in Western Europe. The blow will be struck by the combined sea, land and air forces of the Allies-together constituting one great Alled team, under the supreme command of General Eisenhower. 2. On the eve of this great adventure I send my best wishes to every soldier in the Allied team. To us is given the honour of striking a blow for freedom which will live in history; and in the better days that lie ahead men will speak with pride of our doings. We have a great and a righteous cause. Let us pray that “ The Lord Mighty in Battle “ will go forth with our armies, and that His special providence will aid us in the struggle. 3. I want every soldier to know that I have complete confidence in the successful outcome of the operations that we are now about to begin. With stout hearts, and with enthusiasm for the contest, let us go forward to victory. 4. And, as we enter the battle, let us recall the words of a famous soldier spoken many years ago:- “ He either fears his fate too much, Or his deserts are small, Who dare not put it to the touch, To win or lose it all.” 5.
