THE STUDY P:'ESEHTED : The organization. personnel and train­ ing at the school . with objects sought and results obtained. FAC :rs ~.J;-r A'11ING TO THE STUDY : Prior to the 1IIorld War , the officer personnel of the German Army was obtained almost ex­ c1usive1y from the nobility and the wealthy classes. The youths selected for commiSSioned service were educated for the a~my in the cadet schoolS maintained by the various king­ doms of the German Empire . vihen gradua ted therefrom. these youths were commissioned in and aSSigned to that portion of , the German Army maintained by their respective kingdoms . - 1 ­ o Following the World War and with the birth of the new German Arm~ or :eichswehr. a schaal for the training of candidate officer personnel was established, in Munich , in Bavaria. and was called "Der Infanterie- Schule ll (The Infantry School) . The nama was somewhat of a misnomer and was so applied with thB idea of inferring that the school was merely a branoh (arm) training school . 'llhus the Allies who were supp:ressing all attempts of the Ge nnans to re­ establish thei r mili tary fa rees , woulc1 not have it brought forcefully to the ir attention that the new German Pepublic was engaged in tra ining officers for its t~eaty - limited a rmy . Because of the restless character and monarchistical ten­ dencies of the Bavarians . it was decid ed to move the InfantrJ School to another section of Germany where sectionaJ in­ fluence would not prevail. Berlin was considered as a site . but its selection would have embittered the Bavarians and would have been sufficient proof to the other Geyman states that Prussia. as in the past . was endeavoring to control the army and the destiny of Germany. After considerable stuc1y , Dresden, the capital . and prinCipal city o·f Saxony . was selected as the new location for the school , and in 1926 , the move to that city was made and the Infantry School es­ tablished in the barracks of the old Saxon Cadet Corps-­ the forme r officer training corps of the Saxon Army . The -purpose of the German Infp.ntry School is to furnish officers for the new German army. or Peichswehr. General Von Hindenburg stated at the opening of the school in ( 2) Dresden that i t would "become a t Y 8ining schaal of all of the well-known German mili tary virtues . rI ~Ihis school is , in effect , the Wes t Point of Germany .

    Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: the Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945

    CRUCIBLES OF VIRTUE AND VICE: THE ACCULTURATION OF TRANSATLANTIC ARMY OFFICERS, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 John F. Morris All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: The Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Throughout the long nineteenth century, the European Great Powers and, after 1865, the United States competed for global dominance, and they regularly used their armies to do so. While many historians have commented on the culture of these armies’ officer corps, few have looked to the acculturation process itself that occurred at secondary schools and academies for future officers, and even fewer have compared different formative systems. In this study, I home in on three distinct models of officer acculturation—the British public schools, the monarchical cadet schools in Imperial Germany, Austria, and Russia, and the US Military Academy—which instilled the shared and recursive sets of values and behaviors that constituted European and American officer cultures. Specifically, I examine not the curricula, policies, and structures of the schools but the subterranean practices, rituals, and codes therein. What were they, how and why did they develop and change over time, which values did they transmit and which behaviors did they perpetuate, how do these relate to nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century social and cultural phenomena, and what sort of ethos did they produce among transatlantic army officers? Drawing on a wide array of sources in three languages, including archival material, official publications, letters and memoirs, and contemporary nonfiction and fiction, I have painted a highly detailed picture of subterranean life at the institutions in this study.

For forty years now, the ROTC program has shifted its priorities to the South and Midwest and from urban to rural and suburban areas because it is less costly, perceived as easier for recruiting, and also perceived as drawing on a more supportive population in general. As such, the ROTC program is less representative of the population as a whole now than at any time in its history. Moreover, this is occurring at a time when the American people as a whole are more disconnected from the military because it has been a volunteer force since 1973; therefore, few Americans are touched by someone who serves in the mili- tary.

Contrary to current historiography, it argues that the peacetime corps’s social elitism was successful in ensuring a militarily effective, nat- urally paternalistic and conscientious leadership. The infamous wartime Offiziersha␤ (‘officer hate’) did not derive from social segregation between ranks but was rather a form of the ‘front–rear’ tension common to all bel- ligerent armies, aggravated by material shortage. Despite training and organ- izational difficulties, the successful dissemination of the corps’s aristocratic values to wartime-recruited officers maintained good inter-rank relations within combat units, enabling the army to endure four years of gruelling warfare. I. Introduction The German army performed remarkably well in the vicious fighting on the Western Front during the First World War.1 For four years it success- fully repelled materially and numerically superior enemies, suffering minimal disciplinary problems despite the tremendous strain.

  • Napoleon's Marshalate and the Defeat of 1813

    Napoleon's Marshalate and the Defeat of 1813

    A PRE-PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTION: NAPOLEON’S MARSHALATE AND THE DEFEAT OF 1813 Eric C. Smith, B.S. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2014 APPROVED: Michael V. Leggiere, Major Professor Richard G. Lowe, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Smith, Eric C. A Pre-Professional Institution: Napoleon’s Marshalate and the Defeat of 1813. Master of Arts (History), August 2014, 195 pp., 13 tables, 8 figures, bibliography, 155 titles. Napoleon’s defeat in 1813 generates a number of explanations from historians regarding why he lost this epic campaign which ultimately resulted in France losing control over the German states. Scholars discussing the French marshalate of the Napoleonic era frequently assert that these generals could not win battles without the emperor present. Accustomed to assuming a subordinate role under Bonaparte’s direct supervision, these commanders faltered when deprived of the strong hand of the master. This thesis contributes to this historiographical argument by positing that the pre-professional nature of Napoleon’s marshalate precluded them from adapting to the evolving nature of warfare during the First French Empire. Emerging from non-military backgrounds and deriving their capabilities solely from practical experience, the marshals failed to succeed at endeavors outside of their capacity. An examination of the military administration of the Old Regime, the effects of the French Revolution on the French generalate, and the circumstances under which Bonaparte labored when creating the imperial marshalate demonstrates that issues systemic to the French high command contributed to French defeat in 1813.

    In the Service of Kaiser and King: State Sovereignty, Nation-Building

    In the Service of Kaiser and King: State Sovereignty, Nation-Building, and the German Army, 1866-1918 By Gavin Wiens A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Gavin Wiens, 2019 In the Service of Kaiser and King: State Sovereignty, Nation-Building, and the German Army, 1866-1918 Gavin Wiens Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2019 Abstract From its creation during the Wars of Unification (1864-71) until its defeat at the end of the First World War, the German army remained a federal institution. To be sure, the imperial constitution recognized the Kaiser as commander-in-chief of Germany’s land forces. Under the Kaiser’s direction, the Prussian war ministry prepared the military budget and the Prussian General Staff drafted operational plans for future wars. A patchwork of military agreements nevertheless limited the authority of the Kaiser and Prussia’s military leaders over nearly one- quarter of the German army. According to these agreements, separate war ministries, cadet schools, and general staffs oversaw the arming, clothing, feeding, housing, and training of Bavarians, Saxons, and Württembergers, while the monarchs of Germany’s three smaller kingdoms determined personnel appointments, the deployment of units, and even the design of insignia and uniforms. The army’s contingent-based structure ensured that Prussians and non-Prussians served alongside, but only rarely with, one another after 1871. Based on research in archives and libraries in Germany, Austria, England, and the United States, this dissertation explores the means by which the smaller armies of Bavaria, ii Saxony, and Württemberg were integrated into Prussia’s much larger military structure after 1871 and seeks to understand why the German army, burdened by numerous loyalties and overlapping spheres of control, did not simply fall apart during the First World War.

MILITARY SERVICE.~ LIABILITY TO MILITARY SERVIcE.-Under the law of the Empire every male German, unless he be a lfelfber of a reigning or mediatized house, is liable to enrollment in the military service. This liability, which cannot be satisfied by a substitute, and from which persons convicted of crime are excluded, begins with the comp-leted 20th and ends with the com- pleted 4 5 th year. It is divided into the liability to service in ([) the army or navy and (2) the landsturiu. The former, embracing, as a rule, the period from the completed 20th year of the subject to March 3' of the year in which he completes his 3 9th year, is again divided into liability to serve as follows: (i) The~ activeCeev ary:rmy. ?Service in the standing army. (3) Landwehr. (4) Ersatz reserve.* Persons belongingto either of the three last-mentioned classes, except such as form the landwehr of the second levy, constitute, when not with the colors, the so-called "furloughed state " (Beurla~ubten Stand). During peace they are assembled once or twice a year for muster, and are required to report each change in their address to the commanding officer of the district in which they reside. SERVICE IN 'I'HE STANDING ARMY occupies seven years, of which three years (mostly from the completed 20th to the completed 23d year) are generally spent with the colors, and four years (mostly to the completed 27th year) in the reserve. MLenof the reserve may be subjected to two trainings of eight weeks each, and required to join their companies for this purpose.
