Die Fritsch-Krise Im Frühjahr 1938. Neun Dokumente Aus Dem Nachlaß Des Generalobersten
Dokumentation Horst Mühleisen Die Fritsch-Krise im Frühjahr 1938. Neun Dokumente aus dem Nachlaß des Generalobersten I. Die Bedeutung der Dokumente Es gibt Skandale, die lange fortwirken und auch die Forschung immer noch be- schäftigen. Zu diesen gehört jener, der mit dem Namen des Generalfeldmarschalls Werner von Blomberg, des Reichskriegsministers und Oberbefehlshabers der Wehr- macht, sowie des Generalobersten Werner Freiherrn von Fritsch, des Oberbefehls- habers des Heeres, verbunden ist. Der Anlaß für Blombergs Entlassung am 4. Februar 1938 war seine Heirat mit einer Frau, deren Vorleben als kompromittiert galt. Fritsch aber war der Homose- xualität, des Vergehens nach § 175 Strafgesetzbuch, beschuldigt worden. Auch er erhielt am selben Tage, dem 4. Februar, seinen Abschied. Um die gegen Fritsch er- hobenen Vorwürfe aufzuklären, ermittelte sowohl die Geheime Staatspolizei als auch das Reichskriegsgericht. Dies waren die Tatsachen, die im Frühjahr 1938 indessen nur wenigen Perso- nen verlaßlich bekannt waren. Der Öffentlichkeit war mitgeteilt worden, die Ver- abschiedung von Blomberg und Fritsch sei aus gesundheitlichen Gründen erfolgt. Wenige Jahre nach Kriegsende, 1949, veröffentlichte Johann Adolf Graf Kiel- mansegg, Fritschs Neffe, eine Darstellung über den Prozeß des Reichskriegsge- richts gegen den Generalobersten1. Die persönlichen Zeugnisse, die der ehemali- ge Oberbefehlshaber des Heeres hinterlassen hat, waren indessen spärlich, da Fritsch keine umfangreiche Korrespondenz führte. Ferner standen Kielmansegg die Prozeßakten nicht zur Verfügung, da sie verbrannt waren. Fotokopien der Ak- ten und Verhandlungsstenogramme, die in nicht sehr zahlreicher Ausfertigung vorlagen, ebenso wie die Handakten des Verteidigers, des Grafen Rüdiger von der Goltz, wurden durch Bombenangriffe vernichtet2. Ob die Protokolle, die Reichs- kriegsgerichtsrat Dr. Karl Sack während des Prozesses führte, tatsächlich nach Kriegsende in die Hände der amerikanischen Besatzungsmacht gefallen sind3, ist ungewiß; bis heute sind sie nicht wieder aufgetaucht. -

The Betrayal Belgium and Germany 1931
1 The Betrayal Belgium and Germany 1931 On Sunday 1 November 1931 Hans Thilo Schmidt, a forty-three-year- old executive at the German Defence Ministry Cipher Office in Berlin, took a step from which there was no turning back. He booked into the Grand Hotel in Verviers, a small Belgium town on the border with Germany, for his first meeting with a French Secret Service agent. Schmidt had been contemplating making this move for months. During June 1931 he had paid a visit to the French Embassy in Berlin to find out who he should contact in Paris if he wanted to sell some secret documents to the French government.1 Three weeks later he had followed up the advice given by the Em- bassy staff and had written a letter to the French Deuxième Bureau, the umbrella organisation which on France’s behalf carried out many of the task performed in Britain by MI 5 and MI 6.2 In his letter he ex- plained that he had access to documents which might be of interest to France, and he specifically mentioned that he was in a position to hand over the manuals for a coding machine which had been used in Germany since June 1930. If the Deuxième Bureau was interested he was happy to meet up with its representative in Belgium or Holland, he wrote. It was in response to this letter that the meeting in Verviers had been arranged, and the scene was set for Schmidt’s first act of treachery. In normal circumstances Schmidt would probably never have considered becoming a traitor. -
Kiev 1941: Hitler's Battle for Supremacy in the East
Kiev 1941 In just four weeks in the summer of 1941 the German Wehrmacht wrought unprecedented destruction on four Soviet armies, conquering central Ukraine and killing or capturing three-quarters of a million men. This was the battle of Kiev – one of the largest and most decisive battles of World War II and, for Hitler and Stalin, a battle of crucial importance. For the first time, David Stahel charts the battle’s dramatic course and after- math, uncovering the irreplaceable losses suffered by Germany’s ‘panzer groups’ despite their battlefield gains, and the implications of these losses for the German war effort. He illuminates the inner workings of the German army as well as the experiences of ordinary soldiers, showing that with the Russian winter looming and Soviet resistance still unbroken, victory came at huge cost and confirmed the turning point in Germany’s war in the east. David Stahel is an independent researcher based in Berlin. His previous publications include Operation Barbarossa and Germany’s Defeat in the East (Cambridge, 2009).

Panzer Leader
PANZER LEADER by Heinz Guderian First published in 1952 FOREWORD by CAPTAIN B. H. LIDDELL HART In this book a man who has made history—on a great scale—gives us his own story of how he shaped it by means of a new idea, and how it led to an end he had not foreseen. Guderian had a tremendous impact on the course of events in our time. Without him, it is probable that Hitler would have met early frustration in his offensive efforts when he embarked on war. For in 1939-40 Germany's forces in general were not sufficient to overcome any major Power. Her opening run of victory in the Second World War was only made possible by the panzer forces that Guderian had created and trained, and by his auda¬cious leading of those forces in disregard of his superiors' caution as well as Hitler's fears. Guderian's break-through at Sedan and lightning drive to the Channel coast virtually decided the issue of the Battle of France. A year later, the drive he led into the East came close to producing the complete collapse of Russia's armies, but this time renewed hesitancy on top imposed a delay that spun out the campaign until winter intervened, and gave the Russians a breathing-space for recovery. Stalin was able to raise fresh armies and develop new arms factories to replace those that had been captured. Russia's strength went on increasing, while Germany was never again as strong as in that first campaign. Hitler's 1942 effort, though dangerous, was a more limited one than in the previous year. -
Der Zweite Weltkrieg / Band 08
Der Zweite Weltkrieg / Band 08 Luftkrieg Europa-bezogen Vorwort und Themen dieses Buches Vorwort zum Luftkrieg Europa bezogen Der Verlauf des Luftkrieges in fünf Phasen Zusatzthemen zum Luftkrieg Navigation und Abwurf der Bomben Flugabwehrkanonen und Jäger in Deutschland Luftwaffen der am Krieg in Europa beteiligten Länder Vorwort und Themen dieses Buches Der Zweite Weltkrieg von 1939 bis 1945 war der zweite global geführte Krieg sämtlicher Grossmächte des 20. Jahrhunderts und stellt den grössten militärischen Konflikt in der Geschichte der Menschheit dar. Er begann in Europa mit dem deutschen Überfall auf Polen am 1. September 1939. In Ostasien befand sich das mit Deutschland verbündete Japan seit 1938 in einem Grenzkrieg mit der Sowjetunion und seit 1937 im Pazifikkrieg mit China. Im Kriegsverlauf bildeten sich zwei militärische Allianzen, die als Achsenmächte und Alliierte bezeichnet werden. Direkt oder indirekt waren über 60 Staaten an diesem Krieg beteiligt, mehr als 110 Millionen Menschen standen unter Waffen. Der Krieg kostete über 60 Millionen Menschen das Leben und erfasste den ganzen Erdball. Der Zweite Weltkrieg bestand in Europa aus Blitzkriegen, Eroberungsfeldzügen gegen die deutschen Nachbarländer mit Eingliederung besetzter Gebiete, der Einsetzung von Marionettenregierungen, Flächenbombardements sowie im letzten Jahr dem Einsatz von Atomwaffen in Japan; er verlief in drei Hauptphasen. Mittelbar starben Millionen Menschen durch Holocaust (Shoa), Porajmos und weitere Massenmorde, durch Zwangsarbeit und zahllose Kriegsverbrechen. Das vorliegende Buch ist ein Zusammenzug von vorhandenen Daten und Dokumente und der Versuch diese in einen chronologischen Ablauf zu bringen. Die Quellen sind jeweils zu Beginn eines Themas aufgeführt. Keiner dachte nach dem 1. Weltkrieg, dass ein solches furchtbares Ereignis noch übertroffen werden könnte. -
