    THE NAZI BLOOD PURGE OF 1934 APPRCWBD": \r H M^jor Professor 7 lOLi Minor Professor •n p-Kairman of the DeparCTieflat. of History / cr^LtxJ~<2^ Dean oiTKe Graduate School IV Burkholder, Vaughn, The Nazi Blood Purge of 1934. Master of Arts, History, August, 1972, 147 pp., appendix, bibliography, 160 titles. This thesis deals with the problem of determining the reasons behind the purge conducted by various high officials in the Nazi regime on June 30-July 2, 1934. Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goring, SS leader Heinrich Himmler, and others used the purge to eliminate a sizable and influential segment of the SA leadership, under the pretext that this group was planning a coup against the Hitler regime. Also eliminated during the purge were sundry political opponents and personal rivals. Therefore, to explain Hitler's actions, one must determine whether or not there was a planned putsch against him at that time. Although party and official government documents relating to the purge were ordered destroyed by Hermann GcTring, certain materials in this category were used. Especially helpful were the Nuremberg trial records; Documents on British Foreign Policy, 1919-1939; Documents on German Foreign Policy, 1918-1945; and Foreign Relations of the United States, Diplomatic Papers, 1934. Also, first-hand accounts, contem- porary reports and essays, and analytical reports of a /1J-14 secondary nature were used in researching this topic. Many memoirs, written by people in a position to observe these events, were used as well as the reports of the American, British, and French ambassadors in the German capital.

  • FDR, Japan, Pearl Harbor, and the Entry Into War in the Pacific
    Provocation and Angst: FDR, Japan, Pearl Harbor, and the Entry into War in the Pacific paul s. burtness and warren u. ober Through the afternoon of December 7, 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt kept getting more disheartening news about the devasta- tion wreaked by the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor. These reports were hard for him to fathom, for he knew that Washington had sent repeated alerts to all the Pacific bases—indeed, FDR had personally ordered warnings sent on November 27 and 28, which included a note that in a confrontation the United States would prefer to have the enemy fire first.1 This provision catered to Congressional isola- tionists, who would support combat only if U.S. forces were under attack. Although the president, unlike Secretary of War Henry Stim- son, was not surprised by the attack, the outcome must have caused him grave angst.2 Paul S. Burtness is Professor of English Emeritus at Northern Illinois University, where he served for ten years as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Warren U. Ober is Distinguished Professor of English Emeritus at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, where he served for ten years as Chair of the English Department. Both Burtness and Ober were junior U.S. Naval Reserve officers during World War II. Burtness was gunnery officer aboard the destroyer escort USS Kyne (DE 744), and Ober was a communications officer on the staff of Admiral Howard F. Kingman, Commander, Battleship Division 9, and, later, Commander, 3rd Fleet. In addition to publications in their field of English language and literature, Burtness and Ober have written extensively on Pearl Harbor and the onset of WW II in the Pacific.
