  • The Formulation of Nazi Policy Towards the Catholic Church in Bavaria from 1933 to 1936
    CCHA Study Sessions, 34(1967), 57-75 The Formulation of Nazi Policy towards the Catholic Church in Bavaria from 1933 to 1936 J. Q. CAHILL, Ph.D. This study concentrates on the relations between church and state in Bavaria as a problem for Nazi policy-makers at the beginning of Nazi rule. Emphasizing the Nazi side of this problem provides a balance to those studies which either condemn or defend the actions of church leaders during the Nazi period. To understand the past is the first goal of historians. A better understanding of the attitudes and actions of National Socialist leaders and organizations toward the Catholic Church will provide a broader perspective for judging the actions of churchmen. Such an approach can also suggest clues or confirm views about the basic nature of Nazi totalitarianism. Was National Socialism essentially opposed to Catholicism ? Was its primary emphasis on domestic policy or on foreign policy ? Perhaps basic to these questions is whether Nazism was monolithic in its ruling structure or composed of diverse competing groups. I believe that the question of Nazi church policy is worth studying for its own sake, but it has further implications. The materials used for this study are mainly microfilms of documents from the Main Archive of the National Socialist German Worker's Party in Munich, and from the files of the Reich Governor in Bavaria. An important part of these documents is made up of police reports, which, however, include more than mere descriptions of crimes and charges. But the nature of this material poses the danger of emphasizing those elements for which we have the most documentation.

    Messerschmitt Bf 109 Bf 109 The most famous survivor, Messerschmitt Bf109G-2/Trop "Black 6", Wk Nr 10639; photo taken 1997 Duxford Air Show. Type Fighter Manufacturer Bayerische Flugzeugwerke Messerschmitt Designed by Willy Messerschmitt Maiden flight 28 May 1935 Introduced 1937 Retired 1945, Luftwaffe 1965, Spain Status Retired Primary users Luftwaffe Spanish Air Force Number built more than 33,000. Variants Avia S-199 Hispano Aviacion Ha 1112 1 German Airfield, France, 1941 propaganda photo of the Luftwaffe, Bf 109 fighters on the tarmac The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a German World War II fighter aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt in the early 1930s. It was one of the first true modern fighters of the era, including such features as an all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy, and retractable landing gear. The Bf 109 was produced in greater quantities than any other fighter aircraft in history, with 30,573 units built alone during 1939-1945. Fighter production totalled 47% of all German aircraft production, and the Bf 109 accounted for 57% of all fighter types produced[1]. The Bf 109 was the standard fighter of the Luftwaffe for the duration of World War II, although it began to be partially replaced by the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 starting in 1941. The Bf 109 scored more aircraft kills in World War II than any other aircraft. At various times it served as an air superiority fighter, an escort fighter, an interceptor, a ground-attack aircraft and a reconnaissance aircraft. Although the Bf 109 had weaknesses, including a short range, and especially a sometimes difficult to handle narrow, outward-retracting undercarriage, it stayed competitive with Allied fighter aircraft until the end of the war.

Boyer Articles Overcoming the Iron Gates: Austrian Transport and River Regulation at the Lower Danube, 1830s-1840s Luminita Gatejel ABSTRACT This paper deals with early efforts to facilitate steam navigation between Vienna and Constantinople along the Danube. In addition to analyzing the complex negotiation processes that enabled the first regulation project at the Iron Gates, it assesses ways in which the new shipping connection transformed the cultural and spatial perceptions of travelers. The article argues that even though the plan for making the Iron Gates navigable was set out on the drawing boards of engineers and in the cabinets in Pest and Vienna, local circumstances changed its practical implementation in a number of important ways. The success of this major engineering operation relied on close cooperation among hydrological experts, state representatives, and entrepreneurs, all of whom had different stakes in the project but still shared a common interest. Establishing a shipping connection to the Black Sea along the Danube was thus the result of 1) an alignment of interests among Hungarian, Viennese, and local Ottoman authorities; 2) a careful match between theoretical knowledge and practical engineering work; and 3) the surmounting of a mental separation between “Orient” and “Occident.” Der vorliegende Aufsatz beschäftigt sich mit den frühen Versuchen die Dampfschifffahrt entlang der Donau zwischen Wien und Konstantinopel zu erleichtern.

  • Der Messerschmitt-Komplex
    Der Messerschmitt-Komplex Augsburg und die Messerschmitt AG Ein Überblick geschichtsagentur augsburg Vorab Dies ist die Beta-Version einer Ausstellung über den „Messerschmitt-Komplex“ in Augsburg. Gemeint ist dabei zum einen die enge Verstrickung von Willy Messerschmitt, der Messerschmitt AG und der Stadt Augsburg mit einem ausgedehnten ZwangsarbeiterInnen- und KZ-Außenlager-System, vor allem in den letzten Kriegsjahren. Gemeint ist damit aber auch die Tabuisierung der Messerschmitt’schen Verstrickung in das NS-System, wie sie vor allem in Augsburg gepflegt wird, wo Willy Messerschmitt immer noch eher ein „Held“ ist. Bei der Vorbereitung der Ausstellung wurde versucht, aus den vorhandenen Informationen, Darstellungen und Bildern einen kritischen Blick auf Willy Messerschmitt und die Messerschmitt AG zusammenzutragen. Dabei ist die Zahl der Darstellungen begrenzt und beschränkt sich meist auf die technischen Leistungen Messerschmitts bzw. „entschuldigen“ sein Verhalten. Die Quellen dieser Darstellungen verbleiben dabei meist im „Graubereich“. In einem nächsten Schritt müsste man daher noch einmal die Originalquellen untersuchen, die jedoch sehr verstreut, unvollständig und teilweise unzugänglich sind. Der damit verbundene zeitliche und finanzielle Aufwand ist derzeit aber nicht leistbar. Auf jeden Fall wäre es aber wünschenswert, wenn technischer Aufstieg und moralischer Fall der Messerschmitt AG stärker ins historische Bewusstsein Augsburg rücken würde. Konstruktive Kritik und Vorschläge an dieser Beta-Version sind jederzeit willkommen.

  • Die Monatswende Juni—Juli Des Jahres 193 J Brachte Ein Für Die Kulturpolitik Des Dritten Reiches Bedeutungsvolles Ereignis. Am Samstag, Dem 29
    Erstes Kapitel DIE GRÜNDUNG DES VEREINS „DAS AHNENERBE", 1935 1. Herman Wirth Die Monatswende Juni—Juli des Jahres 193 j brachte ein für die Kulturpolitik des Dritten Reiches bedeutungsvolles Ereignis. Am Samstag, dem 29. Juni, lud Reichs- kanzler Adolf Hitler in der Hauptstadt der nationalsozialistischen Bewegung Mün- chen zum Richtfest des „Hauses der Deutschen Kunst" in der Prinzregentenstraße. Die erste Ausstellung, so hatte der Führer schon bestimmt, sollte unter dem Motto „Tausend Jahre Deutsche Kunst" stehen, als ein „Denkmal für unsere Ahnen, eine Lehrstätte für unsere lebenden Künstler"1. Unter den zahlreichen Ehrengästen der nationalsozialistischen Prominenz befanden sich der Münchener Gauleiter Adolf Wagner, der bayerische Ministerpräsident Ludwig Siebert, die Reichsleiter Otto Dietrich und Martin Bormann und verschie- dene SS-Gruppenführer — ihnen allen wurde von einer Ehrenkompanie der SS-Ver- fügungstruppe München Reverenz erwiesen2. Deren oberster Kommandeur aber, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, hatte sich entschuldigen lassen. Denn am dar- auffolgenden Sonntag hatte er, dessen Schutzstaffel gerade erst im Aufbau begriffen war, in Braunschweig die zweite und bisher größte SS-Führerschule zu eröffnen3. Im übrigen plante er für Montag, den 1. Juli, die Gründung einer Kultureinrich- tung ganz eigener Art, und zwar am Orte seines Amtssitzes, in Berlin. Gleich am Montag, dem 1. Juli, traf er sich in den Diensträumen der Schutzstaffel mit sechs Gleichgesinnten, um, nach unterschriftlicher Anerkennung einer Satzung, die sog. „Studiengesellschaft für Geistesurgeschichte ,Deutsches Ahnenerbe'" ins Leben zu rufen4. Einer der Mitunterzeichner und eigentliche Vater dieser Gesellschaft „Ahnenerbe" war der deutsch-holländische Privatgelehrte Herman Wirth, geboren 1885 als Sohn eines Gymnasiallehrers in Utrecht5. Nach dem Studium der niederländischen Philo- logie, Germanistik, Geschichte und Musikwissenschaft in Utrecht und Leipzig hatte er bereits 1910 über den „Untergang des niederländischen Volksliedes" bei dem Volkskundler John Meier promoviert.
