    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.

  • FDR, Japan, Pearl Harbor, and the Entry Into War in the Pacific
    Provocation and Angst: FDR, Japan, Pearl Harbor, and the Entry into War in the Pacific paul s. burtness and warren u. ober Through the afternoon of December 7, 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt kept getting more disheartening news about the devasta- tion wreaked by the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor. These reports were hard for him to fathom, for he knew that Washington had sent repeated alerts to all the Pacific bases—indeed, FDR had personally ordered warnings sent on November 27 and 28, which included a note that in a confrontation the United States would prefer to have the enemy fire first.1 This provision catered to Congressional isola- tionists, who would support combat only if U.S. forces were under attack. Although the president, unlike Secretary of War Henry Stim- son, was not surprised by the attack, the outcome must have caused him grave angst.2 Paul S. Burtness is Professor of English Emeritus at Northern Illinois University, where he served for ten years as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Warren U. Ober is Distinguished Professor of English Emeritus at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, where he served for ten years as Chair of the English Department. Both Burtness and Ober were junior U.S. Naval Reserve officers during World War II. Burtness was gunnery officer aboard the destroyer escort USS Kyne (DE 744), and Ober was a communications officer on the staff of Admiral Howard F. Kingman, Commander, Battleship Division 9, and, later, Commander, 3rd Fleet. In addition to publications in their field of English language and literature, Burtness and Ober have written extensively on Pearl Harbor and the onset of WW II in the Pacific.

  • 19. the New Deal Democrats: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Democratic Party
    fdr4freedoms 1 19. The New Deal Democrats: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Democratic Party With Franklin D. Roosevelt at its helm, the Democratic Party underwent a historic transformation. Before FDR rose to national prominence in the early 1930s, the party had represented a loose conglomeration of local and regional interests. Dominated by the “solid South” that dated to post–Civil War Reconstruction, this group also included Great Plains and Western farmers influenced by the Populist and Progressive movements, as well as the burgeoning ethnic populations of the great cities of the North and East, where the “machine politics” epitomized by New York City’s Tammany Hall ruled the day.

  • The New Deal Search for a Governor of Hawai'i
    H. BRETT MELENDY The New Deal Search for a Governor of Hawai'i THE BEGINNING OF THE 1930s saw the world in a deep economic depression. By 1932, Americans were looking for new leadership to improve their lot. In January 1932, New York Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt announced his candidacy for president. On April 28, Hawai'i's Democratic Territorial Central Committee endorsed Roose- velt for his party's nomination and then endorsed Lincoln McCand- less for territorial governor. The committee then prevailed upon McCandless to accept once more its nomination for delegate after assuring him that such a move would not interfere with his quest to become governor of Hawai'i. The Organic Act of 1900, creating the Territory of Hawai'i, required the president to nominate the territor- ial governor. Thus Island Democrats looked forward to having a Dem- ocratic governor in 1933.! Hawai'i's November 8, 1932, election saw Democrats increasing their numbers in the territorial legislature: in the Senate from one to four and from three to ten in the House of Representatives. How- ever, the Republicans remained in firm control with eleven senators and twenty representatives. In the delegate's race, McCandless defeated incumbent Victor Houston, bringing him the seat he had sought for almost three decades. He served but one term, however, as Republican Samuel Wilder King turned back the Democrat's 1934 reelection bid. As Republicans staggered "under the news of the H.
