U CLASSIFI[D INTRODUCTrON Purposes of the Civil'Affairs Handbooks. The basic purposes of civil affairs officers are (1) to assist the Commanding General by quickly establishing those orderly condi- tions which will contribute most effectively to the conduct of mili- tary operations, (2) to reduce to a minimum the human suffering and the material damage resulting from disorder and (3) to create the conditions which will make it possible for civilian agencies to func- tion effectively. The preparation of Civil Affairs Handbooks is a part of the effort to carry out these responsibilities as efficiently and humanely as is possible. The Handbooks do not deal with plans or policies (which will depend upon changing and unpredictable developments). It should be clearly understood that they do not imply any liven official program of action. They are rather ready reference source books containing the basic factual information needed for planning and policy making. The topical outline on the following page indicates the scope of the material covered by the Civil Affairs Handbooks. This study deal- ing with German Military Government in Greece is one of a series cover- ing military government in the areas which Germany has occupied. It should be read in conjunction with the general study on German Military Government which will be issued as a part of the Handbook series in the near future.

ASSI F EDB -1 - INTRODUCTION (This study concerns itself only with the general structure of German military government in Greece; its concrete functioning will be treated in a subsequent study.) Information on German military government in occupied Greece is extremely limited. Most of our sources of information are interested in actual conditions and events inside Greece. They pay little attention to the exact designation of the various German agencies or to the re- lation of thoseagencies to each other. Most of our best information comes from persons who have left Greece since the German occupation but their reports, though extremely useful on other matters, are usually of least value for the subject under investigation here. Moreover, there are relatively few such reports for the period earlier than late summer 1942. Of course, there is much information available from the press and radio, but this rarely gives material pertaining to more than isolated aspects of the German administration. Also the amount of information varies greatly from region to region. For the Hebros region and Crete, information is relatively satisfactory. Next in adequacy come Salonica and the German-held Aegean islands. Strangely enough, for Athens and its environs the information is, on the whole, quite inadequate, and for central and western Macedonia little at all. Another difficulty is the fluidity of the German organization itself. It is German method to create an organizational group for a specific purpose, and hence it is dangerous to attempt to deduce the ~~~h~~g~g, -2-- 2 - structure of a given German agency by analogy on the basis of a few in- stances of offices or posts within that agency. For all the above reasons it is impossible to give anything like a really complete survey of German military government in Greece, covering all areas under German control and all German activities. There is, however, sufficient evidence to give a general description of the organ- ization of the German administration. Fundamentally Germany has controlled all aspects of-life everywhere in Greece since the occupation. Not only the Greek Quisling Government, but the Italians and the Bulgarians could do nothing save by German order or tacit consent. However, this report is limited strictly to areas under direct German administration, and only incidental attention is paid to the Italians and Bulgarians. The Greek puppet government is considered only in its relations with the German authorities. Since the fall of Tunis, the form of Axis control in Greece has undergone increasing modification. With the progressive withdrawal of Italy from effective participation in the war, the Germans have been forced more and more to take over the areas of Greece under Italian administration and to extend the sphere of Bulgarian occupation in northern Greece. Therefore the description of German military government in Greece as given in this report does not necessarily hold good for the period after about May 1943. Though it is plain that great changes have taken place since then, as yet evidence is not sufficient for a clear picture of the new situation to emerge. 0D SL A ' I IEU ^---- EH^^^FIE -3- I.

  • The Logic of Violence in Civil War Has Much Less to Do with Collective Emotions, Ideologies, Cultures, Or “Greed and Grievance” Than Currently Believed
    P1: KAE 0521854091pre CUNY324B/Kalyvas 0 521 85409 1 March 27, 2006 20:2 This page intentionally left blank ii P1: KAE 0521854091pre CUNY324B/Kalyvas 0 521 85409 1 March 27, 2006 20:2 TheLogic of Violence in Civil War By analytically decoupling war and violence, this book explores the causes and dynamics of violence in civil war. Against prevailing views that such violence is either the product of impenetrable madness or a simple way to achieve strategic objectives, the book demonstrates that the logic of violence in civil war has much less to do with collective emotions, ideologies, cultures, or “greed and grievance” than currently believed. Stathis Kalyvas distinguishes between indis- criminate and selective violence and specifies a novel theory of selective violence: it is jointly produced by political actors seeking information and indi- vidual noncombatants trying to avoid the worst but also grabbing what oppor- tunities their predicament affords them. Violence is not a simple reflection of the optimal strategy of its users; its profoundly interactive character defeats sim- ple maximization logics while producing surprising outcomes, such as relative nonviolence in the “frontlines” of civil war. Civil war offers irresistible opportu- nities to those who are not naturally bloodthirsty and abhor direct involvement in violence. The manipulation of political organizations by local actors wishing to harm their rivals signals a process of privatization of political violence rather than the more commonly thought politicization of private life. Seen from this perspective, violence is a process taking place because of human aversion rather than a predisposition toward homicidal violence, which helps explain the para- dox of the explosion of violence in social contexts characterized by high levels of interpersonal contact, exchange, and even trust.

  • Vom Österreichischen Gendarmerie-Offizier Zum Höheren SS- Und Polizeiführer Serbien, 1942-1944 August Meyszner: Stationen Einer Karriere
    MARTIN MOLL Vom österreichischen Gendarmerie-Offizier zum Höheren SS- und Polizeiführer Serbien, 1942-1944 August Meyszner: Stationen einer Karriere Einleitung Seit den 1990er Jahren beschäftigt sich die sogenannte neuere Täterfor- schung mit jenen Männern (und wenigen Frauen), die als direkte oder indi- rekte Täter, mithin als Planer und/oder Ausführende in die nationalsozialis- tischen Mordaktionen gegen Juden, Slawen, Sinti und Roma sowie sonstige als rassische oder politische Gegner apostrophierte Gruppen involviert wa- ren.1 Gefragt wird hierbei nach den sozialen, generationellen, konfessio- nellen, bildungs- und herkunftsmäßigen sowie nicht zuletzt ideologischen Prägungen der Tätergruppen. Dabei fällt zugleich eine Konzentration des Forschungsinteresses auf die die eigentlichen Taten ausführenden Appara- te und deren Personal, insbesondere aus dem weit gespannten SS-Komplex, auf. Als Resultat dieser intensiven Forschungen sind zahlreiche Einzel- und Gruppenbiographien der wie auch immer definierten Täter erschienen, da- neben auch diverse Studien, die sich mit den situativen Rahmenbedingun- gen des Handelns der Täter vor Ort beschäftigen, meist im deutsch besetzten Ost- und Südosteuropa.2 Diese zuletzt intensiv betriebene Forschung hat bisher einen Mann aus dem engsten Kreis der Täter nicht einbezogen, der dies zweifellos verdient hätte, und sei es nur wegen seiner Funktion als Höherer SS- und Polizeifüh- rer (HSSPF) für das deutsch besetzte (Rumpf-) Serbien von Januar 1942 bis 1 Vgl. etwa, mit einleitenden methodischen Überlegungen, GERHARD PAUL (Hrsg.), Die Täter der Shoah.

An associated tsunami event is known to have caused thousands of fatalities and destroyed many coastal settlements and infrastructure between the Levante in the east and the Adriatic Sea in the northwest. Since this event, the entire southwestern coast of Crete has experienced strong erosion so that near-coast geological archives showing relevant Holocene sedimentary records are rare.
