It is at once an account of dedication and bravery, an approach to the Second World War that emphasises the role of individuals, and a fundamental source for an aspect of the conflict that is too readily underrated in favour of a simple emphasis on the quantity of resources. The SOE was crucial in challenging German control of occupied Europe, both by encouraging resistance and by more direct activities. Formed in July 1940 in order to encourage resistance and ‘to set Europe ablaze’, the Special Operations Executive was divided into ‘country’ sections and worked with the governments-in-exile in Britain. The political context varied greatly, as did the tasks the SOE had to fulfil. Liaison with partisan groups was part of a major attempt to build up resistance, not least by providing supplies and communication links. The role of the resistance, of course, is a matter of some controversy. The better-armed Germans were generally able to defeat partisans in open conflict, as when they suppressed the rising on the Vercors plateau in France in June 1944, a matter fully covered in Part 2 of this collection (HS 6/355, 361, 424-5). Furthermore, many areas under partisan control were so because the Germans chose not to deploy troops to occupy them. There was also a potential tension between helping resistance operations and gathering intelligence, and this led to tension between SOE and the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS). However, the resistance still achieved much, as a reading of this collection clearly establishes. Most important (as also with the Allied air offensive), was the diversion of large amounts of German resources to dealing with the threat, as well as the need to adopt anti-partisan policies that affected the efficiency of German rule, specifically of their economic and transport activities. The supply of weapons by SOE helped make the resistance more effective. The Allies also benefited from large quantities of crucial intelligence, including on defences, troop movements, bomb damage, and the development of German rocketry. In addition, considerable damage and disruption was inflicted by sabotage and by guerrilla attacks. This was most useful when coordinated with Allied operations, for example the cutting of transport links by which the Germans might move troops, as a preparation for the Normandy landings. This complemented the air offensive. The SOE files are fundamental for attempts to secure coordination and to guide the resistance. They are also the best available source on the resistance itself. The role of the resistance is a reminder of the mistake of only considering strength in terms of regular forces. The resistance also testifies to the character of total war, and the way in which World War Two affected the people of Europe. Countries that fell rapidly before the German blitzkrieg in 1940 recovered to launch numerous attacks on the Germans and to tie up large numbers of Germans in defensive tasks. Such action was to encourage post-war NATO planners, fearful of Soviet invasion, to develop resistance networks and facilities. Parts 1 and 2 of this collection are devoted to France, the most important and successful field of SOE operations, not least with large-scale industrial sabotage. Preparations for the Second Front and proximity to Britain ensured that France was at the forefront of SOE activities, and this can be followed in the Files. They also provide important research material on the British perception of relations between French politicians and groups, with De Gaulle, Darlan, Vichy and the Communists all featuring. HS 6/372 covers the Outhall Mission of 1945: Wing Commander Yeo-Thomas’s enquiry and reports on Buchenwald, Fresnes and other concentration camps and on wanted German camp personnel. Other missions covered include Plexus (HS 6/386), a 1944 psychological warfare mission to distribute propaganda to the German army in France. The sense of an intelligence war is conveyed well. There are reports on the arrest of French resistance leaders and on German attempts to turn networks. Wireless communications play a major role in the files. The files include a major run of Circuit and Mission Reports and Interrogations. They are fundamental to work on SOE and the resistance. Part 3 on Germany includes intelligence reports on concentration and death camps, material on sabotage and black propaganda within Germany, including the plot to kill Hitler, discussion of armistice terms and military surrenders, and planning for post-war Germany. It is interesting to see how early the latter started. The widespread nature of planned sabotage operations is also impressive. They included Operation Vivacious - to sabotage a precision engineering factory in Berlin; Frilford, Colan, Clint, Colburn, Curland, Cregina, each designed to sabotage railway lines; Fleckney - sabotage in the Breslau area; Carstairs - sabotage in Halle; Chalgrove and Cresswell - in Hamburg and Bremen; Fangfoss and Fiddington - in Flensburg and Kiel; Chalfont - sabotage against a new type of U-boat; and Markinch - to make attempts on the lives of U-boat officers in the Kiel area, and to incite sailors and dock-workers to subversive activities. Part 4 includes the most dismal episode in the SOE’s history, an account of the failure in Holland. In the Englandspiel, the German intelligence services were able to thwart SOE operations by capturing an agent and making him ‘play back’ his radio, leading to the capture of over 60 agents. As a result SOE, SIS and Dutch operations in 1941-1944 were compromised. This is important: failure throws light on the difficulties of the task and on what was achieved by SOE: a victory that helped to win the war. Part 5 documents activities in Italy in support of Fifth and Eighth Armies. The full story of what SOE achieved in Italy is still waiting to be written. These files offer up many possibilities for new research, from the communist inclinations of patriot resistance groups, relations with the CLNAAI, SOE wireless links, coup de main raiding parties, to a thorough assessment of the role and contribution of subversion and sabotage in the Italian campaign. This collection should be purchased by all those interested in the war. Professor Jeremy Black Department of History, University of Exeter SPECIAL OPERATIONS EXECUTIVE, 1940-1946 Series 1, Special Operations in Western Europe Part 1: France: The Jedburgh Teams and Operation Overlord, 1944-1945, Part 2: France: Political and Planning Files, Circuits and Missions, 1940-1947 Part 3: Germany, 1936-1945 Part 4: Holland, 1940-1949 Part 5: Italy, 1941-1948 Publisher's Note - Part 1 “The mission was interesting, exciting and we were damned lucky. We accepted much more responsibility than was given to us in the briefing. If we did wrong, we are sorry. In our team we had constantly a spirit of co-operation between the three members, and I feel sure that the three of us will be life long friends, having faced the same dangers and having done our job to the best of our ability.” (HS 6/513) Since VE Day, the concept of resistance movements and secret government organisations has fascinated all aspects of the media, from simple fictional accounts to glamorous film noir characters. The release of files documenting the machinations of the Special Operations Executive means that, for the first time, scholars are able to see beyond the romantic, witnessing the first-hand accounts of those who risked their lives in order to stop the relentless march of fascism. These files offer the realities of setting up, organising and posting agents into occupied territories, making for some of the most interesting and exciting material that has emerged from archives relating to the Second World War. Subjects for study range from the interaction between allied forces, the impact of guerrilla warfare in occupied territories, the extent of German penetration and the planning, politics and organisation associated with action behind enemy lines. Series One, SOE operations in Western Europe, covers activities in France, Germany, Holland and Italy, while Series Two concentrates on the Balkans. Initially founded in March 1939, it wasn’t until mid-1940 that the SOE received a more formal, if loose, seal of approval from Whitehall. Moving from their small offices on 2 Caxton Street, London, to their new headquarters in Baker Street, the formation of SOE gave existing ‘secret’ organisations, such as the SIS (Secret Intelligence Service), a means of physically carrying out campaigns that had predominantly remained on paper. Famously ordered by Winston Churchill to ‘set Europe ablaze’, the SOE became responsible for supporting and stimulating resistance behind enemy lines. Under the initial leadership of the influential socialist politician, Sir Hugh Dalton, the organisation largely overcame its shaky start to form an essential part in operations aimed at helping to halt Hitler’s increasing grip on Europe. Unlike its sister services who quietly gathered intelligence behind enemy lines, SOE’s task was to cause as much disruption as possible and it quickly gained a reputation as an obscure and unique organisation. As the outfit grew, agents were hired from a diverse range of backgrounds and nationalities; by 1944, approximately 5,000 agents were involved in operations behind enemy lines, with a back-up support of nearly 10,000 staff at home.

  • The Quandary of Allied Logistics from D-Day to the Rhine
    THE QUANDARY OF ALLIED LOGISTICS FROM D-DAY TO THE RHINE By Parker Andrew Roberson November, 2018 Director: Dr. Wade G. Dudley Program in American History, Department of History This thesis analyzes the Allied campaign in Europe from the D-Day landings to the crossing of the Rhine to argue that, had American and British forces given the port of Antwerp priority over Operation Market Garden, the war may have ended sooner. This study analyzes the logistical system and the strategic decisions of the Allied forces in order to explore the possibility of a shortened European campaign. Three overall ideas are covered: logistics and the broad-front strategy, the importance of ports to military campaigns, and the consequences of the decisions of the Allied commanders at Antwerp. The analysis of these points will enforce the theory that, had Antwerp been given priority, the war in Europe may have ended sooner.

Winston Churchill once called it the Iron Curtain and said it ran from Szczecin on the Baltic Sea to Trieste on the Adriatic Sea. Both sides deployed military power along this line in the expectation of a major combat. The Western European powers created the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) precisely to fight that expected war but the strength they could marshal remained limited. The Soviet Union, and after the mid-1950s the Soviet Bloc, consistently had greater numbers of troops, tanks, planes, guns, and other equipment. This is not the place to pull apart analyses of the military balance, to dissect issues of quantitative versus qualitative, or rigid versus flexible tactics.

    Ministerpräsident Kretschmann: Medizintechnik bedeutende Wirtschaftssäule Ministerpräsident Kretschmann: Medizintechnik bedeutende Wirtschaftssäule Ministerpräsident Winfried Kretschmann machte bei seiner Sommertour in Tuttlingen Station, um sich ein Bild von den Herausforderungen der Medizintechnik-Branche zu machen. Der Dialog mit der MedicalMountains und mehreren Geschäftsführern erbrachte laut Pressemitteilung von MedicalMountains ein konkretes Ergebnis: „Der Ministerpräsident zeigte sich offen für die Idee, einen Runden Tisch mit Benannten Stellen, Regierungspräsidien und ZLG auf den Weg zu bringen und so regulatorische Standards zu schaffen.“ Beim Blick von außen werde Baden-Württemberg zumeist mit Fahrzeug- und Maschinenbau assoziiert, erinnerte der Ministerpräsident, die Gesundheitswirtschaft sei aber eine ebenso bedeutende Säule – die indes angesichts wachsender internationaler Konkurrenz und sich stetig verschärfenden Regularien ins Wanken gerät, wie MedicalMountains-Geschäftsführerin Julia Steckeler in ihrer Begrüßung sagte: „Soll die Branche auch zukünftig zur Weltspitze gehören, dann muss vor allem auch die Politik gemeinsam mit der Wirtschaft nach vorne blicken und an einem Strang ziehen.“ Gesprächsrunde mit Experten MedicalMountains-Geschäftsführerin Yvonne Glienke moderierte die Gesprächsrunde, bei der Seite 1 / 3 Quelle: NRWZ.de - veröffentlicht am 2.

  • Von Tuttlinger Gasthöfen
    Gunda Woll Von Tuttlinger Gasthöfen Heute scheint es selbstverständlich zu sein, dass es in den Städten und in den Hochburgen des Tourismus Hotels und Gastwirtschaften gibt, die Gäste beher- bergen und verköstigen. Beides sind Dienstleistungen, die vergütet werden. Ein Blick zurück zeigt, dass diese Gepflogenheiten in unseren Breiten erst an der Schwelle vom Hochmittelalter zum Spätmittelalter entstanden. Zuvor galt das private Gastrecht. Schon Caesar erwähnte, dass das Gastrecht bei den Germanen unter allen Umständen als unverletzlich gelte, dass der Gastgeber den Gast vor Unrecht schütze und ihm in seinem Hause alles zur Verfügung stelle. Er schreibt: „Sie halten es für Frevel, einen Gast zu verletzen. Wer aus welchem Grund auch immer zu ihnen kommt, den schützen sie vor Unrecht und halten ihn für unverletzlich. Alle Häuser stehen ihm offen, und die Bewohner teilen ihre Nahrung mit ihm“. Publius Cornelius Tacitus fügte dem noch weitere, vermutlich stark idealisierende Züge hinzu und beschreibt das Gastrecht wie folgt: „Der Geselligkeit und Gastfreundschaft gibt kein anderes Volk sich verschwenderischer hin. Irgend jemanden, wer es auch sei, vom Hause zu weisen, gilt als Frevel; nach Vermögen bewirtet ein jeder den Gast an reichlicher Tafel. Ist das Mahl aufgezehrt, so dient der bisherige Wirt als Wegweiser zu neuer Bewirtung und als Begleiter; ungeladen betreten sie den nächsten Hof. Doch das verschlägt nichts; mit gleicher Herzlichkeit nimmt man sie auf. Beim Gastrecht unterscheidet niemand zwischen bekannt und unbekannt. Dem Davonziehenden pflegt man zu gewähren, was er sich ausbittet, und mit gleicher Unbefangenheit fordert man eine Gegengabe. Sie freuen sich über Geschenke, doch rechnen sie nicht an, was sie geben, und halten sie nicht für verpflichtend, was sie empfangen.
