Alternate History – Alternate Memory: Counterfactual Literature in the Context of German Normalization
ALTERNATE HISTORY – ALTERNATE MEMORY: COUNTERFACTUAL LITERATURE IN THE CONTEXT OF GERMAN NORMALIZATION by GUIDO SCHENKEL M.A., Freie Universität Berlin, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (German Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2012 © Guido Schenkel, 2012 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines a variety of Alternate Histories of the Third Reich from the perspective of memory theory. The term ‘Alternate History’ describes a genre of literature that presents fictional accounts of historical developments which deviate from the known course of hi story. These allohistorical narratives are inherently presentist, meaning that their central question of “What If?” can harness the repertoire of collective memory in order to act as both a reflection of and a commentary on contemporary social and political conditions. Moreover, Alternate Histories can act as a form of counter-memory insofar as the counterfactual mode can be used to highlight marginalized historical events. This study investigates a specific manifestation of this process. Contrasted with American and British examples, the primary focus is the analysis of the discursive functions of German-language counterfactual literature in the context of German normalization. The category of normalization connects a variety of commemorative trends in postwar Germany aimed at overcoming the legacy of National Socialism and re-formulating a positive German national identity. The central hypothesis is that Alternate Histories can perform a unique task in this particular discursive setting. In the context of German normalization, counterfactual stories of the history of the Third Reich are capable of functioning as alternate memories, meaning that they effectively replace the memory of real events with fantasies that are better suited to serve as exculpatory narratives for the German collective. -

The German Military and Hitler
RESOURCES ON THE GERMAN MILITARY AND THE HOLOCAUST The German Military and Hitler Adolf Hitler addresses a rally of the Nazi paramilitary formation, the SA (Sturmabteilung), in 1933. By 1934, the SA had grown to nearly four million members, significantly outnumbering the 100,000 man professional army. US Holocaust Memorial Museum, courtesy of William O. McWorkman The military played an important role in Germany. It was closely identified with the essence of the nation and operated largely independent of civilian control or politics. With the 1919 Treaty of Versailles after World War I, the victorious powers attempted to undercut the basis for German militarism by imposing restrictions on the German armed forces, including limiting the army to 100,000 men, curtailing the navy, eliminating the air force, and abolishing the military training academies and the General Staff (the elite German military planning institution). On February 3, 1933, four days after being appointed chancellor, Adolf Hitler met with top military leaders to talk candidly about his plans to establish a dictatorship, rebuild the military, reclaim lost territories, and wage war. Although they shared many policy goals (including the cancellation of the Treaty of Versailles, the continued >> RESOURCES ON THE GERMAN MILITARY AND THE HOLOCAUST German Military Leadership and Hitler (continued) expansion of the German armed forces, and the destruction of the perceived communist threat both at home and abroad), many among the military leadership did not fully trust Hitler because of his radicalism and populism. In the following years, however, Hitler gradually established full authority over the military. For example, the 1934 purge of the Nazi Party paramilitary formation, the SA (Sturmabteilung), helped solidify the military’s position in the Third Reich and win the support of its leaders. -

We can use genetic testing for drug metabolizing Penzymes such as CYPs to estimate the adverse effect or efficiency of the drug for each patient. We also can check the genetic change of a cancer to see how it acts for the particular patient. Also, recent findings suggest possible genetic background for high risk for many diseases such as cancer, hypertension, dementia, autism or allergy. These high-risk markers are effective for prevention of the disease, which is a new style of public health. -
9. Rache, Vergeltung, Strafe
9. RACHE, VERGELTUNG, STRAFE Uns, Herr, uns lass das alte Schwert ausgraben! Lass Stahl in jedes Mannes Hände tauen! Die Frauen dürfen leere Hände haben – und nicht einmal die Frauen. Friedrich Torberg „Rebellen-Gebet“ (Übersetzung des anonymen Ge- dichtes Nad Hrobkou Českých Kralů - „An der Grabstätte der Böhmischen Könige“) Rache, Vergeltung, Strafe 1215 Rache und Vergeltung entsprachen 1944/46 einem „tiefen Bedürfnis“ vieler Einwohner Europas, die deutsche Besatzungs-, Deportations- und Vernichtungs- politik erlitten hatten. Denn eine Mehrheit von Europäern hatte den Zweiten Welt- krieg nicht am militärischen Schlachtfeld erlebt, sondern als Kriegsgefangene, Zwangsarbeiter und KZ-Insassen, aber auch als Partisanen, Kollaborateure und „Mitläufer“. „In the annals of history, however, never have so many people been caught up in the process of collaboration, resistance, and retribution as in Europe during and after the Second Wolrd War.“ Aber auch die „tägliche Demütigung“ sollte nicht unterschätzt werden, denn: „Männer und Frauen wurden verraten und erniedrigt, tagtäglich zu kleinen Gesetzwidrigkeiten genötigt, bei denen jeder et- was und viele alles verloren“.2504 Beim Vormarsch der Roten Armee nach Ost- und Westpreußen, Pommern und Schlesien, nach Mähren und Böhmen, in die Slowakei und nach Ungarn, durch den Banat, die Batschka und die Baranya, beim Vormarsch der jugoslawischen Partisanen durch die Vojvodina, Kroatien und Slowenien, bei der Evakuierung der Karpatendeutschen, beim Prager Aufstand, dem Brünner „Todesmarsch“ und dem Aussiger Pogrom, nicht zuletzt bei der Übernahme der neuen polnischen Westgebiete, ließen nicht nur sowjetische Soldaten, sondern auch polnische und tschechische Soldaten, Milizionäre und „Revolutionsgarden“, serbische, kroati- sche und slowenische Partisanen, sogar „Zivilisten“ aller Art, ihren Hassgefühlen gegenüber „den Deutschen“ freien Lauf. -
Field-Marshal Albert Kesselring in Context
Field-Marshal Albert Kesselring in Context Andrew Sangster Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy University of East Anglia History School August 2014 Word Count: 99,919 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or abstract must include full attribution. Abstract This thesis explores the life and context of Kesselring the last living German Field Marshal. It examines his background, military experience during the Great War, his involvement in the Freikorps, in order to understand what moulded his attitudes. Kesselring's role in the clandestine re-organisation of the German war machine is studied; his role in the development of the Blitzkrieg; the growth of the Luftwaffe is looked at along with his command of Air Fleets from Poland to Barbarossa. His appointment to Southern Command is explored indicating his limited authority. His command in North Africa and Italy is examined to ascertain whether he deserved the accolade of being one of the finest defence generals of the war; the thesis suggests that the Allies found this an expedient description of him which in turn masked their own inadequacies. During the final months on the Western Front, the thesis asks why he fought so ruthlessly to the bitter end. His imprisonment and trial are examined from the legal and historical/political point of view, and the contentions which arose regarding his early release. -
Elite Structure and the Provision of Health-Promoting Public Goods Elite Structure and the Provision of Health-Promoting Public Goods
// NO.20-064 | 11/2020 DISCUSSION PAPER // TOMMY KRIEGER Elite Structure and the Provision of Health-Promoting Public Goods Elite structure and the provision of health-promoting public goods. Tommy Krieger1 October 29, 2020 Abstract We compile biographical information on more than 5,000 Prussian politicians and exploit newly digitized administrative data to examine whether landowning and landless elites differ in the extent to which they support health infrastructure projects. Using exogenous variation in soil texture, we present results from 2SLS regressions, suggesting that the provision of health-promoting public goods improves with the political influence of the landless elite. We also provide evidence for two mechanisms: first, landless elites face a higher risk of strikes, and second, they have more economic benefits from improving the health of the poor. Finally, we illustrate that the relevance of these two channels differs for those health-related public amenities that improve the access to medical care and those that prevent the outbreak of infectious diseases. Key words: biographical data, distribution of power, health, land inequality, landowners, local elites, political power, Prussian history, public good provision, redistribution JEL classifications: H11, H41, H75, I15, N33, O43, P16 Acknowledgements: I greatly benefited from discussions with Enzo Brox, Sebastian Blesse, Raphael Franck, Quentin Gallea, Lena Gerling, Kai Gehring, Klaus Gr¨undler, Erik Hornung, Pierre-Guillaume Meon, Luigi Pascali, Jochen Streb, Heinrich Urspung, and Maria Waldinger.

However, he refers to the Ozarichi camps in Belarus, near the villages Ozarichi, Dert and Semonovich. Murashkin was one of the approximately 40,000 people who ended up in these camps because they were seen as “useless eaters”.2 After the Battle of Stalingrad, Hitler ordered that nothing useful was to fall into the hands of the Soviets.
