  • Zur Kontinuität Des Groß- Und Weltmachtstrebens Der Deutschen Marineführung
    Dokumentation Gerhard Schreiber Zur Kontinuität des Groß- und Weltmachtstrebens der deutschen Marineführung Kontinuität als geschichtswissenschaftliche Kategorie fragt zum einen, ob und wann ein historisches Kontinuum möglich ist, und sie beschreibt zum anderen — allgemein gesehen — eine geschichtliche Einheit, die auf der weitgehenden Identität der Mo- mente beruht, die in einem zeitlichen Längsschnitt zueinander in Beziehung gesetzt werden. Mit Kontinuität ist somit weder Kausalität noch Determiniertheit der histori- schen Entwicklung gemeint, sondern die Ähnlichkeit und die Erklärbarkeit des Späte- ren mit dem Früheren1. Mit einem derartigen Vorverständnis stellt die vorliegende Dokumentation die Frage nach der Sichselbstgleichheit der Machtpolitik im preußisch-deutschen Nationalstaat, dem Deutschen Reich zwischen 1871 und dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges2. Das eigentliche Untersuchungsfeld soll dabei — quasi idealtypisch — auf eine konservative Führungselite, die Marineführung3, eingeengt werden. Zur Diskussion steht die These, daß es zwischen den imperialistischen Zielsetzungen der Marine, wie sie späte- stens mit dem Beginn des Großflottenbaus zutage traten, und den Überlegungen zu einer deutschen Weltvorherrschaft, die im Dritten Reich in diesem Wehrmachtteil an- gestellt wurden, eine ungebrochene machtpolitische Kontinuität gab. Die dem spezifi- schen Denksystem der Marineführung immanente ideologische Kohärenz konkreti- sierte sich in diesem Zusammenhang vor 1918, vor 1933 und bis 1945 in der einem ri- gorosen Navalismus oder

  • 75 Years Ago, World War II Came to an End
    75 years ago, World War II came to an end. On this occasion, the Swiss Museum of Games presents a selection of games from the period. The games are dispatched in different rooms of the exhibition. But you will easily recognize them by their label showing the icon above. The games from the collection of the Swiss Museum of Games are historical sources. Illustrative, eloquent and sometimes disturbing, they inform us about the events and topics that interested people, their views and opinions, their tastes and values. The games that appeared in the years before and during the war were often misused for propaganda purposes, especially by publishers close to governments. These games were aimed at the general public, but also at soldiers. Soldiers and prisoners of war produced games as well as, in Switzerland, internees. The games certainly helped them to survive these difficult times. In 2014, we organized a special exhibition to mark the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the World War I. The war was already a theme in the games in 1914-18 and became one again in 1939-45. We wish you an enriching visit. Please, give us feedback in the guestbook or on our Facebook page. Ulrich Schädler, Director Swiss Museum of Games, Dossier « 75 years ago… » MSJ 5048 Schach, Dame und Mühle: «Ein Gruss aus der Heimat» Combi-Spiele, Hannover 1940-45 Game collection with chess, draughts and Nine men’s morris.

  • The Christian Resurrection As a Propaganda Tool in Heinrich
    Focus on German Studies 24 The Christian resurrection as a propaganda tool in Heinrich Anacker’s Nazi poetry - The sacralization of Reich and Führer Anneleen Van Hertbruggen Universiteit Antwerpen ORCID ID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2555-5534 Abstract By focusing on the poetry of the Nazi writer Heinrich Anacker, this paper tries to attribute to the study of Nazi literature, which was ignored by German scholars for a long time. Although several overviews of Nazi authors and the impressive dissertation by Simone Bautz appeared in the last decade, there are still few works that focus specifically on the Nazi text itself. Within the long debated framework of National Socialism as a political religion, this paper focuses specifically on Anacker’s poetic reinterpretation of the Christian Easter story for propaganda purposes. On the one hand, the adoption of specific vocabulary from the biblical Easter story grants the concept of the “Third Reich” a certain sacredness. On the other hand, Anacker adapts the underlying doctrine of salvation to present the Führer as a new Messiah. Because of the deliberate sacralization of ideological ideas, Nazi concepts like Reich and Führer appear almost as religious-like “articles of faith”. Keywords: Nazi poetry – religious discourse – political religion – poetry analysis For Germany was, like the Holy Christ, Luminously resurrected! Heinrich Anacker, German Easter 1933, V.29-30 Introduction This contribution focuses on the Christian resurrection as an important thread in the propaganda poetry of the Nazi writer Heinrich Anacker (1901-1971). The untraditional – and therefore notable “unchristian” – reinterpretation of this motif will be exemplified with poems from Anacker’s anthology Die Fanfare.
