  • 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).

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: the FURTHEST
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE FURTHEST WATCH OF THE REICH: NATIONAL SOCIALISM, ETHNIC GERMANS, AND THE OCCUPATION OF THE SERBIAN BANAT, 1941-1944 Mirna Zakic, Ph.D., 2011 Directed by: Professor Jeffrey Herf, Department of History This dissertation examines the Volksdeutsche (ethnic Germans) of the Serbian Banat (northeastern Serbia) during World War II, with a focus on their collaboration with the invading Germans from the Third Reich, and their participation in the occupation of their home region. It focuses on the occupation period (April 1941-October 1944) so as to illuminate three major themes: the mutual perceptions held by ethnic and Reich Germans and how these shaped policy; the motivation behind ethnic German collaboration; and the events which drew ethnic Germans ever deeper into complicity with the Third Reich. The Banat ethnic Germans profited from a fortuitous meeting of diplomatic, military, ideological and economic reasons, which prompted the Third Reich to occupy their home region in April 1941. They played a leading role in the administration and policing of the Serbian Banat until October 1944, when the Red Army invaded the Banat. The ethnic Germans collaborated with the Nazi regime in many ways: they accepted its worldview as their own, supplied it with food, administrative services and eventually soldiers. They acted as enforcers and executors of its policies, which benefited them as perceived racial and ideological kin to Reich Germans. These policies did so at the expense of the multiethnic Banat‟s other residents, especially Jews and Serbs. In this, the Third Reich replicated general policy guidelines already implemented inside Germany and elsewhere in German-occupied Europe.

    Electronic Offprint The Underbelly of Canadian Multiculturalism : Holocaust Obfuscation and Envy in the Debate about the Canadian Museum for Human Rights KARYN BALL AND PER ANDERS RUDLING This essay contextualises the recent controversy about the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR), which opened in September 2014 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, by documenting the background shadowing the campaigns spearheaded by the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the Ukrainian Canadian Congress against CMHR advisory board plans to install a permanent gallery devoted to the Holocaust. Their history demonstrates how these ultranationalist lobbies have glorified the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, its militant wing (UPA), and the Waffen-SS Galizien while rationalising or occluding their roles in Second World War period massacres of Jewish and Polish civilians. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights Recent debates about the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) which opened in September 2014 have taken place against the backdrop of a decades-long history of complicated relations between Jews and Ukrainians in Canada.

  • Waffen SS, Le Forze Armate Delfordine Nero
    JEAN MABIRE In questi ultimi tempi, oramai lontani dagli anni del furore, con una più obiettiva valutazione delle vicende storiche, sono state finalmente pubblicate opere riguardanti la storia dell’Arma delle SS, le Waffen SS, le Forze Armate delFOrdine Nero. Questi combattenti furono soldati duri e terribili, anche nella rap¬ presaglia, ma la loro vicenda è legata interamente al campo di bat¬ taglia ed è doveroso il rispetto storico nel rievocare gesta guerrie¬ re spesso epiche. Forse furono gli ultimi Cavalieri Teutonici nel momento in cui opposero l’estremo baluardo al bolscevismo oltre l’Oder. Forse furono soldati assurdi quando combatterono una guerra ora¬ mai disperata perché perduta pur di mantenere fede al loro giura¬ mento di fedeltà. Forse furono soldati assurdi perché affascinati da un mito non umano. Convinti di appartenere ad un Ordine Guerriero di super-uomini pagarono con perdite enormi in un bagno di sangue il mito in cui credettero. JEAN MAB1RE WAFFEN SS i EDIZIONI ARKTOS 2006 } IL DRAPPO INSANGUINATO - Attenti! Il comando dell' ex caporale Adolf Hitler sembra sferzare l’aria come un colpo di frusta. Quarantacinque paia di tacchi battono con perfetto sincronismo. Non sono neppure una cinquantina, fra veterani del fronte, studenti, impiegati, disoccupati, a proteggere la prima riunione di propaganda del partito nazional-socialista dei lavoratori tedeschi. É il 4 novembre 1921. I responsabili del movimento hanno affittato la sala delle feste della Hofbràuhaus, a Monaco. Per loro, la sala ha un valore storico. Sotto le volte di falso gotico, fra il tintinnio dei boccali di birra sui tavoli di legno chiaro, era stata tenuta, il 24 febbraio 1920, la prima riunione per la fondazione del partito.

  • German Counterinsurgency Revisited
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 14, ISSUE 1, FALL 2011 Studies German Counterinsurgency Revisited Charles D. Melson Wars, Great and Small Regular (external) war is, by way of underlying concepts, between nations using the entire spectrum of the people, army and state. In irregular (internal) war, some parties are neither independent states nor state sponsored actors, as in the case of rebellion against a foreign occupying power. It can also be conflict within a nation such as a revolution or civil war. Regular and irregular conflicts can take place together, separately, or even on a sliding scale. Subversion, sabotage, terrorism, partisan or guerilla fighting are techniques and are not ends in themselves, and are all regarded by Clausewitz as tactics and the ultimate school of the soldier.1 A German view of the nature of guerrilla warfare is needed before examining how they countered resistance during the course of World War II. Of note is that the term guerilla war was defined as kleinkrieges, kleinerkrieg, or small war. This could either involve partisan (partisanen) or people’s (volks) warfare, one involving the support of 1 One professor of history at the U.S. Naval Academy began the discussion of guerillas using the Book of Maccabeus.

  • M1035 Publication Title: Guide to Foreign Military Studies
    Publication Number: M1035 Publication Title: Guide to Foreign Military Studies, 1945-54 Date Published: 1954 GUIDE TO FOREIGN MILITARY STUDIES, 1945-54 Preface This catalog and index is a guide to the manuscripts produced under the Foreign Military Studies Program of the Historical Division, United States Army, Europe, and of predecessor commands since 1945. Most of these manuscripts were prepared by former high-ranking officers of the German Armed Forces, writing under the sponsorship of their former adversaries. The program therefore represents an unusual degree of collaboration between officers of nations recently at war. The Foreign Military Studies Program actually began shortly after V-E Day, when Allied interrogators first questioned certain prominent German prisoners of war. Results were so encouraging that the program was expanded; written questions replaced oral interrogation, and later certain highly-placed German officers were asked to prepare a series of monographs. Originally the mission of the program was only to obtain information on enemy operations in the European Theater for use in the preparation of an official history of the U.S. Army in World War II. In 1946 the program was broadened to include the Mediterranean and Russian war theaters. Beginning in 1947 emphasis was placed on the preparation of operational studies for use by U.S. Army planning and training agencies and service schools.
