The Politics of Combat The Political and Strategic Impact of Tactical-Level Subcultures, 3;5;–3;;7 Tony Ingesson Cover art by the author © Tony Ingesson Faculty of Social Sciences and Department of Political Science ISBN ;9:-;3-9845-929-8 (print) ISBN ;9:-;3-9845-92:-5 (PDF) ISSN 2682-2259 Typeset in LATEX Printed in Sweden by Media-Tryck, Lund University Lund 4238 Acknowledgements Over the course of the years I’ve spent writing this dissertation, I’ve accumulated a substantial debt of gratitude toward many. First of all, I must mention my supervisor, Magnus Jerneck. Not only was he instrumental in convincing me to accept the position as Ph.D. Candidate at a point when I had already declined, he has also been a constant source of support. His creativity and ability to ask just the right questions to push one’s effort forward are second to none. Secondly, I must thank my assistant supervisor, Johannes Lindvall. His exceptional eye for structure, prose, detail and method has vastly improved this dissertation. At the department of Political Science, I have received invaluable comments and suggestions from many colleagues. In particular, I want to mention Håkan Magnusson, Anders Sannerstedt, Douglas Brommes- son, Karin Aggestam, Jakob Gustavsson and Mikael Sundström. The diligent work of the administrative and technical staff has also been invaluable over the years, both to support my work on this book and to facilitate my teaching. For this I am very grateful to Kristina Gröndahl Nilsson, Helen Fogelin, Amir Parhamifar, Margareth Andersson and Marie Persson. The Ph.D. student community at the department has also been a great source of support and inspiration. While I cannot possibly do you all justice in this brief text, I would in particular like to mention Niklas Altermark, Cecilia von Schéele and Sarah Anne Rennick. Without you, these years would not have been anywhere near as enjoyable. I also want to thank Klas Nilsson, Fabio Cristiano, Kurtis Boyer and Linda Nyberg for being such good colleagues and friends, as well as some of the most hilarious table companions I have ever met. Thanks also to Carlo Knotz, for helping me with translations and formulas, and to Ivan Gusic for comments on the sections regarding Bosnia-Hercegovina. For their invaluable help in providing me with research data, I thank Peter at the Deutsches U-Boot-Museum in Cuxhaven-Altenbruch for assistance with the German U-boat patrol reports and Christian Ankerstjerne for providing carefully compiled statistical data on the independent Tiger battalions. For his thorough efforts as proofreader, and his flexibility when faced by my unorthodox manuscript format, I am grateful to Sir David Ratford. I also want to thank those from my past who inspired me to write this dissertation. In particular, my former company commander, Gary Campbell, and platoon commander, Ola Lindahl, as well as my com- manding officers in the years that followed, Anders Lindell and Jörgen Jarälv. I am also deeply thankful to Peter Hagelin, who supported my decision to leave the navy to pursue my Ph.D. For the financial support that enabled me to attend several interna- tional conferences, I thank Helge Ax:son Johnsons stiftelse. I am also indebted to the open-source community, which has unselfishly created and developed the software (Linux, LaTeX, Inkscape, GIMP, JabRef, etc.) I’ve used in my work on this dissertation. I would never have gotten this far without my grandparents and parents, who always supported me in my pursuit of knowledge as a child. In particular, I want to mention my dear departed grandparents Inge and Alva-Liisa. Finally, I dedicate this dissertation to my wife Hanna and my son Alexis, who have given my life a new sense of purpose, and made me happier than I have ever been before.

These difficulties accumulate and produce a friction which no man can imagine exactly who has not seen war. — Carl von Clausewitz ([3:54] 3;;9, p. 88) ithin political science, the lower levels of military organiza- W tions and their potential political impact have frequently been overlooked. Traditionally, the tactical level has been associated with the conduct of the practical aspect of operations, and it has rarely been considered to be relevant from a political science point of view. This despite the fact that military leaders at the lower levels, who command between a dozen and a few hundred troops, can have a major political impact (see for example McEvoy, 4233, p. 32:). In addition, this phenomenon is becoming increasingly common (Ruffa et al., 4235, p. 545). Thus, robust theoretical tools for analyzing these military leaders as political actors are needed to further our understanding of both their impact and the mechanism behind their decisions. This dissertation shows that the subcultures at the lower levels of military organizations can have a major political impact, by influencing the decisions of lower-level military leaders. Thus, military units with subcultures that have attitudes that converge with the attitudes re- quired to achieve the political objectives are more likely to be successful, from a political point of view. By this I mean that they are more likely to be able to implement the policy goals in question. To support this claim, I present cases in which decisions by lower- level military leaders have forced the resignation of a government, 4 introduction escalated conflicts, and resulted in atrocious acts that have prompted massive cover-ups. In addition, I also analyze cases in which leaders from this category have decided the outcome of an entire war and saved countless civilians from violence and starvation. I argue that lower-level

    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S

    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

    25 Tremors in the Shatterzone of Empires EASTERN GALICIA IN SUMMER 1941 K S During the rst days and weeks aer the German attack on the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 a wave of violence against Jews swept those territories that had been occupied by the Soviet Union since September 1939 or summer 1940 and now were invaded by the German armed forces and its Romanian and Hungarian allies. e violence consisted mostly of mass execu- tions by the German Security Police’s infamous Einsatzgruppen and pogrom-like excesses by the local Christian population. Oen both forms of violence were closely connected. 1 e anti-Jewish violence in the region sprung from both external and internal sources. Both sources of violence characterized the region as a borderland in the sense of a contested space where competing claims of states, nations, religions, and ideologies clashed with one another. us, the violent events of summer 1941 epitomize greater conicts that arose from the relations of the powers in the region and from the fundamental political and socioeco- nomic changes of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Local anti-Jewish violence was one expression of larger structural tensions that characterized the region. is chapter will focus on Eastern Galicia. It does not aspire to a comprehensive presentation of all anti-Jewish violence or all pogroms, but is intended as an analysis of cer- tain motifs and contexts and, therefore, refers to specic cases as exemplary. 2 As a starting point, we look at the central violent event in the region, i.e., in Lwów (L 'viv).
