The story encountered most often in the lit- erature reads as follows: in order to execute Count Claus von Stauffenberg, the firing squad had to shoot twice. At the moment of the first order to fire, Stauffenberg’s adjutant, Werner von Haeften, dramatically hurled himself in front of Stauffenberg and took the bul- lets with his own body. Before Stauffenberg was killed by the second volley, he stood up straight and called out: ‘Long live Secret Ger- many!’ The bodies were buried in a cemetery in Berlin-Schöneberg, only to be dug up again shortly afterwards on Himmler’s orders. They were burned and the ashes cast to the winds. This scene, so rich in symbolism, typifies the alleged incompati- bility between aristocracy and National Socialism. In this version of events, for example, the Nazi death machine was shown as being under the command of a bourgeois general, Fritz Fromm, who acted in a manner which was spineless and cowardly. His noble victims, by contrast, represented the peak of perfection of the aristocratic ideal of Haltung (‘bearing’ or ‘a stiff upper lip’). Then there is the lily-livered hatred with which the petty bourgeois and neo-aristocratic prophet, Heinrich Himmler, persecuted these victims beyond the grave. And, finally, the impressive contribution of the aristocracy to the events of 20 July—about 45 per cent of the conspirators were members of the aristocracy1—and the long list of aristocratic names among the vic- *This article is based on a lecture given at the GHIL on 18 November 2003. 1 According to figures in Romedio Galeazzo Graf von Thun-Hohenstein, 5 Article tims of the ensuing retribution, reinforced the image of noble stead- fastness. The aristocracy made up about a third of the victims of retal- iation—men of the resistance who had led the most promising attempt to get rid of the Nazi regime, freely sacrificing their lives in the process. Their names are known not only to historians. Since the 1950s, a long tradition of historiography, journalism, and commemo- rative speeches has counted these men among ‘the noblest and great- est that human history has ever seen’.2 This image is tempered somewhat by the second association which always arises in discussions of the influence of the aristocracy after 1918, when we once again encounter von Papen and his follow- ers, those five to ten figures, ‘unforeseen by the Constitution’, who negotiated the transfer of power from the aged Field Marshal von Hindenburg to the Nazi regime in January 1933. As far as the aristocracy is concerned, it is no exaggeration to say that both between and beyond these two extremes there lies an area which historians have generally glossed over and rarely examined in depth. Every account of January 1933 mentions the conservative élites. However, so far much has been claimed, but little substantiat- ed, about the aristocracy after 1918.3 While this situation has clearly ‘Wehrmacht und Widerstand’, in D. H. Poppel et al. (eds.), Die Soldaten der Wehrmacht (Munich, 1998), pp. 62–123, at p. 113. 2 Chancellor Helmut Kohl, making a (historically incorrect) reference to Winston Churchill, ‘Justitia fundamentum regnorum’, speech given on 20 July 1994 in Berlin, published in Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand (ed.), Der 20. Juli 1944: Reden zu einem Tag der deutschen Geschichte (Berlin, 1984), quotation at p. 215. On the history of the reception of 20 July see Jürgen Danyel, ‘Der 20. Juli’, in Etienne François and Hagen Schulze (eds.), Deutsche Erinnerungsorte, 3 vols. (Munich, 2001), ii. pp. 220–37 and Peter Steinbach, Widerstand im Widerstreit: Der Widerstand gegen den Nationalsozialismus in der Erinnerung der Deutschen (Paderborn, 1994).

Juli 1944 in Publizistik und wissenschaftlicher Literatur des Jubiläumsjahres 1994 (Teil II)’, Geschichte und Gesellschaft, 23 (1997), pp. 475–501. 3 Among the older literature, the following titles deserve mention: Walter Görlitz, Die Junker: Adel und Bauer im deutschen Osten (Limburg a. d. Lahn, 4th edn. 1981; first published 1956), esp. pp. 326–410; the pioneering essays by 6 From King to Führer begun to change over the last ten years,4 it is interesting to note that when writing about the Weimar Republic, historians seldom depict the aristocracy as an analytical category in its own right, even though it is omnipresent in theories concerning the Republic’s destruction. Although the aristocracy’s inner dynamics after 1918 have not been examined deeply, in light of 1933 most scholars would agree that it is impossible to discuss the seizure of power without mentioning the Junkers. No one from the ‘old power élite’, Heinrich August Winkler has said, ‘worked as early, contributed as actively, and as successful- ly, toward the destruction of Weimar democracy, as the East Elbian Junkers’.5 The terminology chosen here illustrates that scholars have focused on a small and, even after 1918, immensely influential aris- George Kleine, ‘Adelsgenossenschaft und Nationalsozialismus’, Vierteljahres- hefte für Zeitgeschichte, 26 (1978), pp.

  • Roshwald on Berger and Miller, 'Nationalizing Empires'
    H-Nationalism Roshwald on Berger and Miller, 'Nationalizing Empires' Review published on Friday, January 15, 2016 Stefan Berger, Alexei Miller, eds. Nationalizing Empires. Budapest: Central European University Press, 2014. 700 pp. $85.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-963-386-016-8. Reviewed by Aviel Roshwald (Georgetown University) Published on H-Nationalism (January, 2016) Commissioned by Cristian Cercel Until a few years ago, many of us inhabited a historical universe that seemed neatly divided among an imperial past, a national present, and a supra-national future. The decolonization of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa in the postwar decades appeared as the climax of a global paradigm shift that had begun with the American Revolution and that was to come to a successful conclusion with the 1989 collapse of the Soviet Union’s informal empire in Eastern Europe, followed two years later by the disintegration of the USSR itself into its constituent national republics. The excesses and dangers of nationalism, in turn, would be contained and offset by the general effects of economic and cultural globalization and by the development of supra-national structures, norms, and relationships such as those institutionalized in the European Union. Any hopes we might have had of a grand historical dialectic between the universal and the particular achieving final resolution in a post-Cold War, liberal-internationalist synthesis have since been thoroughly dashed. Today we live in an era in which Russia is challenging post-1991 borders in Europe, China is laying claim to the South China Sea while the United States “pivots” to Asia, jihadists are aspiring to replace the nation-state with a caliphate in the Islamic world, and the great and middle-ranking powers of the Euro-Atlantic zone are drawn into a seemingly never-ending series of military interventions in areas of the world where what once were considered nation-states have partly or utterly collapsed—in some cases under the impact of those very military interventions.

  • Militärgerichtsbarkeit in Österreich (Circa 1850–1945)
    BRGÖ 2016 Beiträge zur Rechtsgeschichte Österreichs Martin MOLL, Graz Militärgerichtsbarkeit in Österreich (circa 1850–1945) Military jurisdiction in Austria, ca. 1850–1945 This article starts around 1850, a period which saw a new codification of civil and military penal law with a more precise separation of these areas. Crimes committed by soldiers were now defined parallel to civilian ones. However, soldiers were still tried before military courts. The military penal code comprised genuine military crimes like deser- tion and mutiny. Up to 1912 the procedure law had been archaic as it did not distinguish between the state prosecu- tor and the judge. But in 1912 the legislature passed a modern military procedure law which came into practice only weeks before the outbreak of World War I, during which millions of trials took place, conducted against civilians as well as soldiers. This article outlines the structure of military courts in Austria-Hungary, ranging from courts responsible for a single garrison up to the Highest Military Court in Vienna. When Austria became a republic in November 1918, military jurisdiction was abolished. The authoritarian government of Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuß reintroduced martial law in late 1933; it was mainly used against Social Democrats who staged the February 1934 uprising. After the National Socialist ‘July putsch’ of 1934 a military court punished the rioters. Following Aus- tria’s annexation to Germany in 1938, German military law was introduced in Austria. After the war’s end in 1945, these Nazi remnants were abolished, leaving Austria without any military jurisdiction. Keywords: Austria – Austria as part of Hitler’s Germany –First Republic – Habsburg Monarchy – Military Jurisdiction Einleitung und Themenübersicht allen Staaten gab es eine eigene, von der zivilen Justiz getrennte Strafgerichtsbarkeit des Militärs.

  • Appendix: More on Methodology
    Appendix: More on Methodology Over the years my fi rst monograph, The Nature of Fascism (1991), has been charged by some academic colleagues with essentialism, reductionism, ‘revisionism’, a disinterest in praxis or material realities, and even a philosophical idealism which trivializes the human suffering caused by Hitler’s regime. It is thus worth offering the more methodologically self-aware readers, inveterately sceptical of the type of large-scale theorizing (‘metanarration’) that forms the bulk of Part One of this book, a few more paragraphs to substantiate my approach and give it some sort of intellectual pedigree. It can be thought of as deriving from three lines of methodological inquiry – and there are doubtless others that are complementary to them. One is the sophisticated (but inevitably contested) model of concept formation through ‘idealizing abstraction’1 which was elaborated piece-meal by Max Weber when wrestling with a number of the dilemmas which plagued the more epistemologically self-aware academics engaged in the late nineteenth-century ‘Methodenstreit’. This was a confl ict over methodology within the German human sciences that anticipated many themes of the late twentieth-century debate over how humanities disciplines should respond to postmodernism and the critical turn.2 The upshot of this line of thinking is that researchers must take it upon themselves to be as self-conscious as possible in the process of constructing the premises and ‘ideal types’ which shape the investigation of an area of external reality. Nor should they ever lose sight of the purely heuristic nature of their inquiry, and hence its inherently partial, incomplete nature.

  • Cold War: a Report on the Xviith IAMHIST Conference, 25-31 July 1997, Salisbury MD
    After the Fall: Revisioning the Cold War: A Report on the XVIIth IAMHIST Conference, 25-31 July 1997, Salisbury MD By John C. Tibbetts “The past can be seized only as an image,” wrote Walter Benjamin. But if that image is ignored by the present, it “threatens to disappear irretrievably.” [1] One such image, evocative of the past and provocative for our present, appears in a documentary film by the United States Information Agency, The Wall (1963). Midway through its account of everyday life in a divided Berlin, a man is seen standing on an elevation above the Wall, sending out hand signals to children on the other side in the Eastern Sector. With voice communication forbidden by the Soviets, he has only the choreography of his hands and fingers with which to print messages onto the air. Now, almost forty years later, the scene resonates with an almost unbearable poignancy. From the depths of the Cold War, the man seems to be gesturing to us. But his message is unclear and its context obscure. [2] The intervening gulf of years has become a barrier just as impassable as the Wall once was. Or has it? The Wall was just one of dozens of screenings and presentations at the recent “Knaves, Fools, and Heroes: Film and Television Representations of the Cold War”—convened as a joint endeavor of IAMHist and the Literature/Film Association, 25-31 July 1997, at Salisbury State University, in Salisbury, Maryland— that suggested that the Cold War is as relevant to our present as it is to our past.

  • The Rise and Fall of an Internationally Codified Denial of the Defense of Superior Orders
    xv The Rise and Fall of an Internationally Codified Denial of the Defense of Superior Orders 30 Revue De Droit Militaire Et De Droit De LA Guerre 183 (1991) Introduction s long as there have been trials for violations of the laws and customs of A war, more popularly known as "war crimes trials", the trial tribunals have been confronted with the defense of "superior orders"-the claim that the accused did what he did because he was ordered to do so by a superior officer (or by his Government) and that his refusal to obey the order would have brought dire consequences upon him. And as along as there have been trials for violations of the laws and customs ofwar the trial tribunals have almost uniformly rejected that defense. However, since the termination of the major programs of war crimes trials conducted after World War II there has been an ongoing dispute as to whether a plea of superior orders should be allowed, or disallowed, and, if allowed, the criteria to be used as the basis for its application. Does international action in this area constitute an invasion of the national jurisdiction? Should the doctrine apply to all war crimes or only to certain specifically named crimes? Should the illegality of the order received be such that any "reasonable" person would recognize its invalidity; or should it be such as to be recognized by a person of"ordinary sense and understanding"; or by a person ofthe "commonest understanding"? Should it be "illegal on its face"; or "manifesdy illegal"; or "palpably illegal"; or of "obvious criminality,,?1 An inability to reach a generally acceptable consensus on these problems has resulted in the repeated rejection of attempts to legislate internationally in this area.

    THE NAZI BLOOD PURGE OF 1934 APPRCWBD": \r H M^jor Professor 7 lOLi Minor Professor •n p-Kairman of the DeparCTieflat. of History / cr^LtxJ~<2^ Dean oiTKe Graduate School IV Burkholder, Vaughn, The Nazi Blood Purge of 1934. Master of Arts, History, August, 1972, 147 pp., appendix, bibliography, 160 titles. This thesis deals with the problem of determining the reasons behind the purge conducted by various high officials in the Nazi regime on June 30-July 2, 1934. Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goring, SS leader Heinrich Himmler, and others used the purge to eliminate a sizable and influential segment of the SA leadership, under the pretext that this group was planning a coup against the Hitler regime. Also eliminated during the purge were sundry political opponents and personal rivals. Therefore, to explain Hitler's actions, one must determine whether or not there was a planned putsch against him at that time. Although party and official government documents relating to the purge were ordered destroyed by Hermann GcTring, certain materials in this category were used. Especially helpful were the Nuremberg trial records; Documents on British Foreign Policy, 1919-1939; Documents on German Foreign Policy, 1918-1945; and Foreign Relations of the United States, Diplomatic Papers, 1934. Also, first-hand accounts, contem- porary reports and essays, and analytical reports of a /1J-14 secondary nature were used in researching this topic. Many memoirs, written by people in a position to observe these events, were used as well as the reports of the American, British, and French ambassadors in the German capital.
