  • Glossary of Key Terms
    Project Sounds in the silence – glossary of terms1 Allies of the Second World War The Allies of the Second World War (formalised by Declaration by United Nations of 1 January 1942), were the countries that together opposed German, Japanese and Italian aggression during the Second World War (1939–1945). Germany, Japan and Italy were called the Axis powers. At the start of the war on 1 September 1939, the Allies consisted of France, Poland and the United Kingdom, as well as their dependent states, such as British India. Within days they were joined by the independent Dominions of the British Commonwealth: Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa. After the start of the German invasion of North Europe until the Balkan Campaign, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, and Yugoslavia joined the Allies. After first having cooperated with Germany in invading Poland whilst remaining neutral in the Allied-Axis conflict, the Soviet Union joined the Allies in June 1941 after being invaded by Germany. The United States officially joined in December 1941 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. China had already been in a prolonged war with Japan since 1937, but officially joined the Allies in 1941. Civilian Forced Labourers (German: Zivile Zwangsarbeiter) Modern term for forced labourers who were not prisoners of war or concentration camp inmates. In the summer of 1944, there were about 5.7 million civilian foreign workers in the German Reich. They were employed by private companies, government agencies, farmers and families who also provided them with accommodation and kept them under surveillance. This term differs from forced labourers who were prisoners of war (POW), as such under the control of the Wehrmacht and imprisoned in POW camps.

The reader is asked to bear in mind that s/he is reading a verbatim transcript of the spoken word, rather than written prose. ATC Session: 1 Interviewee: Stephen F. Cohen Location: New York, NY Interviewer: Caitlin Bertin-Mahieux Date: April 5, 2017 Q: This is Caitlin Bertin-Mahieux. I’m here with Professor Stephen F. [Frand] Cohen. Today is Wednesday, April 5, 2017 and this is for the Harriman Institute Oral History Project. We are recording this interview in New York on the upper west side. Professor Cohen, thank you again for joining us today, for the time. Cohen: I’d say my pleasure, but first of all I’m not sure anyone wants to rummage through the past in these times. It’s hard to think about the past today with all the weight of current events pressing down on us. Q: Which we’ll get to as well, I hope. But let’s start well in the past. Let’s start in the beginning. So you were just showing me some photographs of Kentucky where you grew up. So I know you were born there. Tell me a little bit about your childhood in Kentucky.

  • Wehrmacht Security Regiments in the Soviet Partisan War, 1943
    Ben Shepherd Wehrmacht Security Regiments in the Soviet Partisan War, 1943 Historians generally agree that, as an institution, the German Wehrmacht identified strongly with National Socialism and embroiled itself in the Third Reich’s criminality through a mix- ture of ideological agreement, military ruthlessness, calculation and careerism.1 Less certain is how far this picture extends to the Wehrmacht’s lower levels — individual units and jurisdictions, middle-ranking and junior officers, NCOs and rank-and-file sol- diers. For the German Army of the East (Ostheer), which fought in the ideologically coloured eastern campaign (Ostfeldzug) of extermination, subjugation and plunder against the Soviet Union, the scale of complicity, of the resulting killing and of the manpower involved make lower-level investigation especially pertinent. The picture emerging from a detailed, albeit still embryonic, case study treatment of units of the Ostheer’s middle level (mitt- lere Schicht) — a picture which, thanks to the nature of the sources available, is significantly fuller than that of its rank and file — is one in which motivation and conduct, whilst unde- niably very often ruthless and brutal, were nonetheless multi- faceted in origin and varied in form and extent.2 This article argues that, if the dynamics behind mittlere Schicht brutality are to be understood more fully and their effects quantified more comprehensively, the mittlere Schicht itself needs breaking down and examining in terms of the different levels — divisions, regi- ments, battalions and others — that comprised it. The setting is the Ostheer’s anti-partisan campaign in the central sector of the German-occupied Soviet Union, namely Byelorussia and the areas of greater Russia to the east of it, during the spring and summer of 1943.
