MOPO 1949 - 1980 Unter Der SPD
MOPO 1949 - 1980 unter der SPD 1949 Heinrich Braune, seit Januar CvD der SPD-Zeitung, “Hamburger Echo”, erarbeitet für den SPD-Landesvorstand ein Konzept, wie man dem Auflagenniedergang von Parteizeitungen bis 1949 (“Hamburger Zeitung - CDU, “Hamburger Freie Presse” - FDP, “Hamburger Volkszeitung” - KPD) und dem Ende der Lizenzvergabe der Britischen Verwaltung entgegenwirken könnte. Es wird damit gerechnet, dass wie in amerikanischen und französischen Zone viele neue Zeitungen auf den Markt kommen werden, wenn die Lizenzpflicht aufgehoben wird. Der Landesvorstand will die Frage nicht entscheiden und überträgt diese Aufgabe der Pressekommission des “Hamburger Echos” sowie dem Aufsichtsrats der Auer-Druckerei. Beide Gremien sind für das Konzept, die Zeitung soll von der Auer-Druckerei herausgegeben werden. Seit 1946 erschien hier schon das “Hamburger Echo”. Am 26. Juli 1949 stellt das SPD-Unternehmen Auer-Druck GmbH der Antrag auf Herausgabe der “Post” in der Post Gesellschaft bei dem in Hamburg für die Lizenzvergabe zuständigen Beratenden Ausschuss für das Pressewesen. Die Zeitung sollte zum 1. September 1949 erscheinen. Dafür wird eine bereits genehmigte Lizenz für das “Hamburger Sport-Echo” zurückgezogen. Im August entscheidet die SPD, den Namen auf “Hamburger Morgenpost” zu ändern. Zum 1. September wird eine achtköpfige Redaktion und einen Vertrieb mit 4 Beschäftigten aufgebaut. Am 15. September wird die Lizenz an den Herausgeber, Ernst Kähler, erteilt. Am 16. September erscheint die erste Ausgabe der MOPO, ihr Copypreis lag bei 10 Pfennig. Ihr Umfang beträgt sechs Seiten und sie erscheint von Montag bis Sonnabend, bis dahin erschienen alle Zeitungen in Hamburg zwei bis dreimal in der Woche. Die Zeitung erscheint um 5 Uhr morgens und wurde über die Kioske im Straßenverkauf vertrieben. -

Deutsche Generäle in Britischer Gefangenschaft 1942–1945. Eine
289 Von vielen deutschen Generälen des Zweiten Weltkriegs sind häufig nur die Laufbahndaten bekannt; Briefe und Tagebücher liegen nur wenige vor. Für die For schung sind sie oft genug nur eingeschränkt zugänglich. So fällt es nach wie vor schwer, zu beurteilen, wie die Generale selbst die militärischen und politischen Geschehnisse der Zeit zwischen 1939 und 1945 rezipiert haben und welche Folgerungen sie daraus zogen. Wichtige Aufschlüsse über ihre Kenntnisse von den nationalsozialistischen Massenmorden oder ihr Urteil über den deutschen Widerstand gegen Hitler bieten jedoch die Abhörprotokolle deutscher Stabsoffiziere in britischer Kriegsgefangen schaft. Sönke Neitzel Deutsche Generäle in britischer Gefangenschaft 1942-1945 Eine Auswahledition der Abhörprotokolle des Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre UK Die deutsche Generalität hat sich der öffentlichen Reflexion über ihre Rolle wäh rend des Zweiten Weltkrieges weitgehend verschlossen. Das Bild, das sie vor allem in ihren Memoiren von sich selbst zeichnete, läßt sich verkürzt auf die Formel bringen: Sie hat einen sauberen Krieg geführt, hatte von Kriegsverbrechen größe ren Ausmaßes keine oder kaum Kenntnis, und die militärische Niederlage war zu einem Gutteil den dilettantischen Eingriffen Hitlers als Obersten Befehlshaber in die Kriegführung zuzuschreiben. Es erübrigt sich näher darauf einzugehen, daß dieses Bild von der Geschichts wissenschaft längst gründlich widerlegt worden ist. Aber nach wie vor wissen wir wenig darüber, wie die Generäle die Zeit zwischen 1939 und 1945 rezipiert haben, welche Kenntnis sie von den militärischen und politischen Geschehnissen hatten, die über ihren engen Arbeitsbereich hinausgingen, und welche Schlußfolgerungen sie hieraus zogen. Zur Durchleuchtung dieses Komplexes ist vor allem der Rück griff auf persönliche Quellen wie Briefe und Tagebücher notwendig, die allerdings nur von einem kleinen Personenkreis vorliegen und zudem oft auch nur beschränkt zugänglich sind, da sie sich in Privatbesitz befinden1. -

Organization and Training of SS-Panzer Regiment 12 (29 June
1 Organization and Training of SS-Panzer Regiment 12 (29 June 1943–6 June 1944) nitial negotiations concerning an SS Division to be composed of young members of the Hitlerjugend commenced in February 1943 between the representatives of the Waffen-SS and the National Socialist youth organization. On their recommendation Ion 24 June 1943 Adolf Hitler issued an order for the division to be set up in the Beverloo training facility north of Brussels. The officers and NCOs of the new unit were reassigned from its patron division the 1.SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Division “Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler”1. The enlisted were mainly German young men born in the first half of 1926 who had already received paramilitary training. SS-Panzer Regiment 12 had been in formation since 29 June 1943 in the Mailly-le- Camp training facility northeast of Paris. Approximately 200 soldiers were transferred to the new regiment from the patron division’s SS-Panzer Regiment 1. At the end of 1943 the I./SS-Panzer Regiment 12 was still far from being operational. The chronology of the organization, training and equipment of the unit in 1944 is as follows:2 1 January 1944 SS-Panzer Regiment 12, which at the time was stationed at the Mailly-le-Camp training facility in France, received an order from the Oberbefehlshaber “West” (Senior Area Commander “West”) to relocate to the training facility near Beverloo in Belgium to join the other units of the division being trained there. 4 January 1944 Distribution of the tactical identification (turret) numbers.

ZALOGA © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com CONTENTS Introduction 4 Chronology 8 Design and Development 10 Technical Specifications 22 The Combatants 27 The Strategic Situation 46 Combat 50 Statistics and Analysis 71 Conclusion 76 Further Reading 78 Index 80 © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com INTRODUCTION This book examines the confrontation between two of the best battle tanks of the 1940 campaign, the French Somua S 35 and the German PzKpfw III. The duel forming the centrepiece of this book is history’s first great tank-versus-tank battle, the fighting at Hannut-Merdorp in Belgium on 12–13 May 1940. It is difficult today to recall the perspective of European tank designers of the late 1930s. Tank-versus-tank combat in World War II was so commonplace that it leads to the presumption that the tanks developed before 1939 had this type of combat as a primary technical requirement. In fact, this was not the case, especially with respect to the tanks built at the start of the arms race in the mid-1930s. While tanks were used in large numbers in the final year of fighting during World War I, there was only one known instance of tank-versus-tank combat. The primary function of tanks since World War I was to provide fire support to the infantry in overcoming enemy defensive positions, especially enemy machine-gun nests and trenches. As a result, tanks were armed with weapons appropriate to this mission, usually machine guns or low-velocity guns firing HE (high-explosive) projectiles. -

Introduction
Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-47972-1 — Violence in Defeat Bastiaan Willems Excerpt More Information Introduction Historiography and Purpose of the Study War and conflict often force men and women to take decisions they had never considered during peacetime. In his 1845 novel Twenty Years After – a sequel to The Three Musketeers – Alexandre Dumas describes a scene in which one of the book’s main antagonists, a man known as Mordaunt, reports to Sir Oliver Cromwell after a battle with the guard regiment of King Charles I, which resulted in the King’s capture: ‘The Colonel of the regiment which served as the escort of the king – I mean Charles – was slain, I believe?’ said Cromwell, looking straight at Mordaunt. ‘Yes sir.’ ‘By whom?’ ‘By me.’ ‘What was his name?’ ‘Lord de Winter.’ ‘Your uncle?’ exclaimed Cromwell. ‘My uncle! Traitors to England are no relatives of mine.’ Cromwell continued thoughtful a moment, looking at the young man; then with that deep melancholy which Shakespeare describes so well, he said, ‘Mordaunt, you are a dreadful servant.’ ‘When the Lord commands, one must not trifle with orders. Abraham raised the knife over Isaac; and Isaac was his son.’ ‘Yes,’ said Cromwell; but the Lord did not allow the sacrifice to be accomplished.’ ‘I looked around me,’ said Mordaunt; ‘and I saw neither goat or kid caught in the thickets of the plain.’ Cromwell bowed. ‘You are strong among the strong, Mordaunt,’ said he ...1 1 Alexandre Dumas, Twenty Years After (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008), p. 512. 1 © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-47972-1 — Violence in Defeat Bastiaan Willems Excerpt More Information 2 Introduction Although this fictitious story takes place about three hundred years before the events discussed in this work, the interaction between Cromwell and Mordaunt still manages to address many of the themes that will be examined here. -

A slightly condensed version of the German- language Die Ukraine zwischen Selbstbestimmung und Fremdherrschaft 1917– 1922 (Graz, 2011), this book provides, on the one hand, a systematic outline of events in Ukraine during one of the most complex periods of twentieth- century European history, when the Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires collapsed at the end of the Great War and new independent nation-states OF emerged in Central and Eastern Europe. On the other hand, several chapters of this book provide detailed studies of specifi c aspects of the occupation of Ukraine by German and Austro-Hungarian troops following the Treaty of UKRAINE Brest-Litovsk, signed on 9 February 1918 between the Central Powers and the Ukrainian People’s Republic. For the fi rst time, these chapters o er English- speaking readers a wealth of hitherto unknown historical information based on thorough research and evaluation of documents from military archives in Vienna, -
