I am grateful to many people for help, both direct and indirect, in writing this study. Unfortunately, only a proportion I have space to acknowledge here. First, I thank my supervisor, Erich Haberer, for his continuous support. Erich, my Doktorvater, was always ready to listen, to encourage, to give counsel and to provide much needed perspective. He treated me as an apprentice and challenged me to find my own voice. I am grateful that Erich believed in me and always tempered persistence with grace and compassion. I would like to thank the members of my dissertation committee: Lynne Taylor, Eric Reiche and Gary Bruce. These excellent scholars shared important insights with me and I am grateful for their support and perceptive advice. I am honoured that Doris Bergen joined the examination committee and I greatly benefited from the insights she graciously provided. I would like to acknowledge the debt I owe to the faculty and staff of the History Department at Wilfrid Laurier University, particularly George Urbaniak, Eva Plach, Len Friesen, David Monod and Michael Sibalis. I am greatly indebted to Terry Copp for assistance, guidance and support over my entire time at Laurier. I would also recognize the friendship, help and encouragement provided by Laurie Anne Whitcomb, Nata Tchemycheva, Hilary Earl, Marietta Forster-Haberer, Alexander Prusin, eff Neil, Kate Fitzpatrick, Bill Davidson and Bill Van Wycke. iii Research for the dissertation was made possible by the generous and gracious support from Zev Weiss and the Holocaust Educational Foundation. Zev's on-going mission to assist Holocaust scholarship is inspirational. Also, much of the documentary material in this study was made available by the support and resources of the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. I am grateful to the Center and Martin Dean, Tanja Penter, Jiirgen Matthaus, John Roth, Peter Black, Eric Errenreich, Nick Terry and Joseph White. To all the above individuals, and to colleagues whose names I cannot continue listing and who have assisted me one way or another, I am very much indebted. Thank you to my parents, Daniel and Darlene Connor. Their unconditional support and encouragement has long been a light to my path. To James Connor, my Poppa, thank you. I miss you. And to my brother, Chris, thank you for believing in me. Lastly, I acknowledge the love and support of my wife, Sheri and Hunter, my son. Together, as a family, we have crossed mountains. Thank you for carrying me through this journey and those to come. Invictus. Often while writing this dissertation I was reminded of James Joyce's words: "History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake." One day, I realized that they didn't really apply to the fact that I was writing a dissertation but rather what I was writiting about. So it goes. Without doubt there will be errors, omissions and over­ simplifications, for which I take absolute responsibility. SC, 2007 iv MAPS MAP Page 1.

In terms of both geographical size and population, the east outstripped any other occupied territory. The military presence exceeded three million, the bureaucracy supported some 30,000 administrators and functionaries, and the occupied populations topped fifty-five million at its maximum in 1942.1 Yet, even the extraordinary scope of the occupation paled in comparison to its nature. Beginning in June 1941, all historical precedents of a traditional occupation were rejected in favour of what one historian dubbed "Nazi Colonial Dreams," the racial and political restructuring of the east.2 The captured territories, already battered by the racially underpinned war of annihilation, experienced numerous efforts undertaken by the German occupiers at racial, political and economic reorganization. In short, in the east Nazi policies were most fully undertaken.3 Intention and feasibility converged like in no other area under the Nazi rule in the Occupied Eastern Territories (OET). Already in the wake of rapid German advances into the Soviet Union, Hitler ordered on 20 August 1941 the transfer of conquered areas from military to 1 Rolf-Dieter Muller and Gerd R.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. « The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing pega(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

NEW HAVEN, CONN. TO MY PARENTS Preface The dawn of the twentieth century witnessed the climax of imperialistic competition in Europe among the Great Pow­ ers. Entrenched in two opposing camps, they glared at each other over mountainous stockpiles of weapons gathered in feverish armament races. In the one camp was situated the Triple Entente, in the other the Triple Alliance of the Central Powers under Germany's leadership. The final and tragic re­ sult of this rivalry was World War I, during which Germany attempted to realize her imperialistic conception of M itteleuropa with the Berlin-Baghdad-Basra railway project to the Near East. Thus there would have been established a transcontinental highway for German industrial and commercial expansion through the Persian Gull to the Asian market. The security of this highway required that the pressure of Russian imperi­ alism on the Middle East be eliminated by the fragmentation of the Russian colonial empire into its ethnic components. Germany· planned the formation of a belt of buffer states ( asso­ ciated with the Central Powers and Turkey) from Finland, Beloruthenia ( Belorussia), Lithuania, Poland to Ukraine, the Caucasus, and even to Turkestan. The outbreak and nature of the Russian Revolution in 1917 offered an opportunity for Imperial Germany to realize this plan.

  • Nurses and Midwives in Nazi Germany
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 03:18 04 October 2016 Nurses and Midwives in Nazi Germany This book is about the ethics of nursing and midwifery, and how these were abrogated during the Nazi era. Nurses and midwives actively killed their patients, many of whom were disabled children and infants and patients with mental (and other) illnesses or intellectual disabilities. The book gives the facts as well as theoretical perspectives as a lens through which these crimes can be viewed. It also provides a way to teach this history to nursing and midwifery students, and, for the first time, explains the role of one of the world’s most historically prominent midwifery leaders in the Nazi crimes.

  • V.Karin Weirauch Und Jürgen Protzen)
    Bericht zur Tagestour des TVN am 24.10.2009 (v.Karin Weirauch und Jürgen Protzen) Am Samstag, 24.20.2009, fand die diesjährige Kulturfahrt des TV Niederbieber als Halbtagestour statt. Auch diesmal war es wieder eine Fahrt ins Blaue. Mit zwei Bussen fuhren wir erst mal zur A 61, wo wir auch eine Weile draufblieben. Alle waren gespannt, wo es denn diesmal hingehen wird. Von der Autobahn fuhren wir runter durch die wunderschöne herbstliche Eifel. Immerzu ging es in Richtung Aachen. Somit lag der Verdacht nahe, dass es vielleicht dorthin geht. Wir fuhren jedoch an Blankenheim und Schleiden vorbei, bis wir dann abbogen. Also ging es doch nicht Aachen, wie wohl viele dachten. Im Nationalpark Eifel besuchten wir das denkmalgeschützte Ensemble Vogelsang. Inmitten der entstehenden Nationalpark-Wildnis liegt Vogelsang. Die rund 100 Hektar große Anlage wurde ab 1934 als Schulungsstätte des national-sozialistischen Regimes errichtet. Hier wurden junge Männer auf ihre Rolle als zukünftige Führungselite für die verbrecherischen Ziele der NSDAP ausgebildet. Nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges dienten die Gebäude bis 2005 als Kaserne des umliegenden Truppenübungsplatzes. Heute entwickelt sich Vogelsang zu einem internationalen Treffpunkt, der Information, Erholung und vielfältiges Lernen bietet. Durch eine interessante Führung erfuhren wir eine Menge von dieser schlimmen Zeit. Danach wurde ein Gemeinschaftsfoto gemacht und anschließend zur Weiterfahrt wieder die Busse bestiegen. In Schleiden-Gemünd im „Alten Rathaus“ waren zum gemeinsamen Kaffeetrinken Tische für uns alle bestellt. Gegen 17:30 Uhr traten wir die Heimfahrt an. Den Abschluss, auch bis zum Schluss geheimgehalten, hatten wir in der „Waldterrasse“ in Rengsdorf bei gutem Essen und gemütlichen Zusammensein.

Clash of Totalitarian Titans: Nazi Germany, The Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and the Racial and Ideological War of Annihilation on the Eastern Front Abstract The eastern front in the Second World War was one of unparalleled ferocity and brutality unseen on any other front during civilization’s largest and most destructive war. This work contends that in order to understand how the eastern front was such can only be understood through the lens of Nazi ideology and its long-terms goals for Lebensraum and the Greater Germany it sought to secure.
