  • Walther Rathenau, Gustav Stresemann, Konrad Adenauer
    Walter Rathenau, Gustav Stresemann, Konrad Adenauer, Willy Brandt Ansprache auf der Botschafterkonferenz anlässlich der Namensgebung der Konferenzräume des Auswärtigen Amtes Berlin, 6. September 2006 Von Gregor Schöllgen Es gilt das gesprochene Wort. Herr Minister, Exzellenzen, meine Damen und Herren: Ich danke für die ehrenvolle Einladung. Und ich danke für das Vertrauen, das Sie in mich setzen: Wenn ich das richtig sehe, trauen Sie mir zu, vier herausragende Vertreter der deut- schen Außenpolitik im 20. Jahrhundert in zwanzig Minuten zu würdigen. Angemessen, versteht sich. Natürlich wissen Sie so gut wie ich, dass wir es hier mit vier Schwergewichten zu tun haben. Sonst hätten Sie sich ja auch nicht für diese Namensgebungen entschieden. Biografische Kurzportraits im vier mal Fünfminuten-Takt scheiden also aus. Stattdessen will ich fragen: Was haben die Vier gemeinsam - was unterscheidet sie? 1 * Um bei letzteren, also bei den Unterschieden, zu beginnen – weniger als man denken mag. Zum Beispiel die Ausbildung. Drei hatten studiert. Walther Rathenau hatte sich für Physik und Chemie entschieden, bezeichnenderweise begleitet von einem Studium der Philosophie; Gustav Stresemann war Nationalökonom, Konrad Adenauer Jurist. Zwei von ihnen, Rathenau und Stresemann, waren zudem promoviert. Der vierte, Willy Brandt, war weder promoviert noch examiniert, hatte nicht einmal studiert: Flucht und Exil ließen das nicht zu. Einiges spricht dafür, dass Willy Brandt diesen weißen Fleck in seiner Biografie mit seiner exessiven schriftstellerischen Tätigkeit kompensiert hat. Gewiss, er war von Hause aus Jour- nalist, und vor allem in späten Jahren kamen handfeste kommerzielle Interessen hinzu. Aber sie allein erklären seine Produktivität nicht: Weit mehr als 3.500 Veröffentlichungen aller Art sind beispiellos, jedenfalls für einen zeitlebens aktiven Politiker.

  • The Soviet-German Tank Academy at Kama
    The Secret School of War: The Soviet-German Tank Academy at Kama THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ian Johnson Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Master's Examination Committee: Jennifer Siegel, Advisor Peter Mansoor David Hoffmann Copyright by Ian Ona Johnson 2012 Abstract This paper explores the period of military cooperation between the Weimar Period German Army (the Reichswehr), and the Soviet Union. Between 1922 and 1933, four facilities were built in Russia by the two governments, where a variety of training and technological exercises were conducted. These facilities were particularly focused on advances in chemical and biological weapons, airplanes and tanks. The most influential of the four facilities was the tank testing and training grounds (Panzertruppenschule in the German) built along the Kama River, near Kazan in North- Central Russia. Led by German instructors, the school’s curriculum was based around lectures, war games, and technological testing. Soviet and German students studied and worked side by side; German officers in fact often wore the Soviet uniform while at the school, to show solidarity with their fellow officers. Among the German alumni of the school were many of the most famous practitioners of mobile warfare during the Second World War, such as Guderian, Manstein, Kleist and Model. This system of education proved highly innovative. During seven years of operation, the school produced a number of extremely important technological and tactical innovations. Among the new technologies were a new tank chassis system, superior guns, and - perhaps most importantly- a radio that could function within a tank.

  • The Rarity of Realpolitik the Rarity of Brian Rathbun Realpolitik What Bismarck’S Rationality Reveals About International Politics
    The Rarity of Realpolitik The Rarity of Brian Rathbun Realpolitik What Bismarck’s Rationality Reveals about International Politics Realpolitik, the pur- suit of vital state interests in a dangerous world that constrains state behavior, is at the heart of realist theory. All realists assume that states act in such a man- ner or, at the very least, are highly incentivized to do so by the structure of the international system, whether it be its anarchic character or the presence of other similarly self-interested states. Often overlooked, however, is that Real- politik has important psychological preconditions. Classical realists note that Realpolitik presupposes rational thinking, which, they argue, should not be taken for granted. Some leaders act more rationally than others because they think more rationally than others. Hans Morgenthau, perhaps the most fa- mous classical realist of all, goes as far as to suggest that rationality, and there- fore Realpolitik, is the exception rather than the rule.1 Realpolitik is rare, which is why classical realists devote as much attention to prescribing as they do to explaining foreign policy. Is Realpolitik actually rare empirically, and if so, what are the implications for scholars’ and practitioners’ understanding of foreign policy and the nature of international relations more generally? The necessity of a particular psy- chology for Realpolitik, one based on rational thinking, has never been ex- plicitly tested. Realists such as Morgenthau typically rely on sweeping and unveriªed assumptions, and the relative frequency of realist leaders is difªcult to establish empirically. In this article, I show that research in cognitive psychology provides a strong foundation for the classical realist claim that rationality is a demanding cogni- tive standard that few leaders meet.

  • Speech by Federal President Joachim Gauck to Introduce a Panel Discussion at the Nobel Institute on 11 June 2014 in Oslo
    Translation of advance text The speech on the internet: www.bundespraesident.de Berlin, 11 June 2014 Page 1 of 4 Speech by Federal President Joachim Gauck to introduce a panel discussion at the Nobel Institute on 11 June 2014 in Oslo At the end of 1969 there were rumours going around in Germany that Norway had had quite an unexpected Christmas present that year. On Christmas Eve, large oil and gas deposits had been discovered off the coast of Norway. Since that day, we continental Europeans have got to know, and value, a new side to the Norwegians. Not only did we get to know you as a reliable energy supplier and one of the most affluent countries in the world. We now also began to value Norway for the responsible manner in which it dealt with its newly won wealth. The revenues from the oil industry – the majority at least – were and are saved year after year and invested in the future, a future in which oil reserves one day will no longer be so abundant. Moreover, Norway with its new riches has by no means become self-satisfied, or “self-sufficient”. Isolationism has not become a Norwegian characteristic. The Norwegians have always cast their sights out onto the world. It is remarkable to note how many of the important explorers and pioneers of modern history came from Norway. Their names have a certain ring to them in Germany too: Roald Amundsen, Thor Heyerdahl and Fridtjof Nansen. And the fact that for more than one hundred years now, the most important prize in the world – the Nobel Peace Prize – is awarded here in Oslo is testament to Norway’s keen interest in global affairs.

  • A Day in the Salient with Bernard Comyn by Ian Chambers, August 2007
    A Day in the Salient with Bernard Comyn by Ian Chambers, August 2007 Bernard is a friend of Harry Canvin, and knowing that I was spending a few days in the Salient, Harry arranged for Gary and me to spend a day with him. Bernard, (pictured here with my son Gary) is, I would guess, in his early seventies and was born in Zillebeke, where he still lives. He is a walking encyclopaedia on the war in the Salient and once you have spent a little time with him it soon becomes clear that he gets great enjoyment from passing that knowledge on. Our first stop was Hill 60, which is on the outskirts of Zillebeke. This mound, 60 metres high, was of great importance bearing in mind the general low lying nature of most of the area. It was held by the Germans until 7 June 1917 when a series of mines was detonated over the Messines Ridge area to signal the start of what became known as the Battle of Messines. The tunnel to Hill 60 was 1,380 feet long and was officially known as The Berlin Sap, just before it reached Hill 60 the tunnel branched off to run under another German position known as The Caterpillar which was a second "hill" formed from the spoil from the railway cutting. In total 123,500 pounds of ammonal and guncotton was placed under the two hills and when both mines exploded as planned, this allowed British troops to storm and capture them and they remained in British hands until the German advance of 1918.
