Since then, there have been detailed scholarly studies of aspects The SS: A New History the organisation's history, but nobody has pulled The SS: A New History this work together into a fully satisfactory synthesis, and much research still needs to be done. Some of what we do know is competently recounted in this readable new book by Adrian Weale, a freelance writer and former officer in the British army who remains active in the reserve and recently, as he tells us in his preface, did a six-month tour of duty in Iraq. The SS was formed as a bodyguard troop for Adolf Hitler in the s, but it was not until it was taken over by the young Heinrich Himmler early infollowing the dismissal of a lacklustre predecessor, The SS: A New History it began to become the vehicle for more far-reaching ambitions. From the moment he fell under Hitler's spell until almost the very end of the Third Reich, Himmler born in was unconditionally loyal to the Nazi leader. Well-educated, from a solidly middle-class background his father was tutor to the Bavarian royal familyhard-working and extremely ambitious, Himmler quickly turned the SS into the ideological vanguard of Nazism. In Himmler's vision, the SS - soon made into an autonomous organisation, reorganised in a military-style The SS: A New History and equipped with smart new black uniforms to distinguish it from the chaotic mass movement of the Brownshirts - was to be a racial as well as an ideological elite. Weale The SS: A New History Himmler's directive of 31 December which stated that his aim was "to create a hereditarily The SS: A New History clan of a strictly Nordic German sort"; SS men had to prove their physical fitness and racial purity and were not allowed to marry without providing evidence of their suitability. It was clear enough that Himmler's boast that no man with even a single dental filling was going to be allowed to join the organisation was never going to be fulfilled in practice, and, as Weale points out, other physical requirements were soon relaxed as the SS expanded in numbers, especially during the war. However, even racial purity was diluted from the very beginning. Out ofThe SS: A New History men who applied for a marriage certificate between andonly 7, fulfilled all the racial and physical requirements; The SS: A New History, fewer than a thousand applications were turned down. Weale also fails to pay sufficient attention to the wilder side of Himmler's ideology, which went far beyond the core beliefs of Nazism. The pseudo-Germanic religious cult that he introduced into the SS, with sun-worship and the mystical invocation of Wotan and Thor at SS wedding ceremonies, for example, was ridiculed by Hitler, who devoted a speech in to emphasising the supposedly secular, scientific basis of Nazism "we do not have cult sites, but sports arenas". When the Brownshirts threatened to revolt against Hitler in JuneHimmler saw his chance. After proving its loyalty by serving as the instrument of Hitler's brutal curbing of the Brownshirts in the "Night of the Long Knives", the SS began to expand rapidly, taking over the police including the Gestapo in and, when war came, building up a military wing, the Waffen-SS, in which, eventually, more thanmen served. Yet he fails to convey the extent to which the ideological fanaticism of the Waffen-SS drove its units into repeated acts of useless self-sacrifice. Its men were often criticised by more cautious regular army officers, some of whom, however, as Himmler complained, were only too ready to give them the most dangerous positions in battle in order to preserve their own troops and undermine the strength of this threatening rival. More than a third of all Waffen-SS men were killed in battle, a considerably higher death rate than that of the professional military forces. Weale devotes far too much space to the foreign legions recruited by the SS, especially the insignificant "British Free Corps", while neglecting the growth of the SS in other fields of activity. A good deal has been written recently about the burgeoning economic empire of the SS during the war, for instance. Not only did it supply forced labour from the camps it ran, making money The SS: A New History the hundreds of thousands of prisoners it supplied to major manufacturing firms, it also owned and ran housing corporations, cement works, textile factories, munitions producers and much more besides. In pursuit of his crusade against alcoholism in the SS, Himmler even acquired the Apollinaris mineral water company after it had been expropriated from its British owners. Yet some have pointed out that this motley collection of haphazardly acquired businesses was too incoherent to pose a serious threat to the existing management of the Nazi economy. This is yet The SS: A New History area that requires further investigation. As a military historian, Weale focuses too much on the Waffen-SS to the detriment of other branches of the organisation, and even here, he breaks no new ground. Pressing questions remain unanswered: we know far too little, for example, about the social composition of the Waffen-SS, about its training and indoctrination, and about its internal dynamics. Weale is apparently unable to read German, and so misses out on a great deal of recently published research on the SS; on the other hand, he has made good use of documents in the National Archives at Kew, including interrogation records of former SS officers The SS: A New History files on British volunteers for the SS, the subject of a previous book by the same author. He gives a good summary of some of the central aspects of the organisation's history, and his book is remarkably free from error I spotted only one obvious mistake, the misdating of the introduction of conscription to instead of But it tells us no more about the SS than we already knew; in some respects, indeed, a good deal less. In the end, the question he poses at the beginning of the book still needs a convincing answer. This article first appeared in the 23 August issue of the New Statesman, Pakistan. Sign up.

In England, however, the British fascists set about to save what they saw as a dying empire. In an effort to restore Britain’s greatness, British fascism held to fascist principles and doctrine to stem the flow of immigration, which fascists saw as darkening the pure British culture. While many of the British fascists strongly admired Nazi Germany‘s version of fascism, they were unique in that they forged their solutions from social ills that were distinctly British.

Bezen Perrot: The Breton nationalist unit of the SS, 1943-5 Daniel Leach, University of Melbourne Abstract This article charts the origins and course of the wartime Breton collaborationist force, the Bezen Perrot (Perrot Unit). For the first time in English, and employing source material previously unused in any language, it investigates the impact of the 'Irish example' upon Breton militancy from clandestine beginnings to military 'alliance' with Nazi Germany, with particular focus upon nationalist leader Célestin Lainé (aka 'Neven Henaff'). Employing primary material such as interviews with Bezen Perrot veterans and their descendants, previously unpublished photographs, and Lainé's own unpublished memoirs, the motivations of the Bezen's chief identities are contextualised within a Celtic nationalist framework. The article presents an anglophone readership with a largely unexplored chapter of Celtic history while simultaneously challenging much of the French historiography on this controversial subject.

  • Farrell, 1 Susan Farrell College of Charleston Department of English May 20, 2016 American Fascism and Mother Night It C
    Farrell, 1 Susan Farrell College of Charleston Department of English May 20, 2016 American Fascism and Mother Night It’s fairly well-known that Vonnegut modeled the character of Howard W. Campbell, Jr., the Nazi propagandist from Mother Night, on the real-life figure of William Joyce, known during World War II as Lord Haw-Haw. In this guise, Joyce broadcast anti-Semitic and pro-German rants over the radio to British citizens. Born in the U.S. to Irish parents, William Joyce moved back to Ireland when he was three, where his Catholic family remained loyal to Britain and staunchly anti-Republican. When his family moved to England after the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, Joyce became deeply involved in fascist politics. He moved to Berlin at the outbreak of war, where he soon obtained a job working for German radio’s English service. During the war years, he also worked to help recruit British prisoners-of-war into a unit called the British Free Corps. In Slaughterhouse-Five, of course, readers discover that Howard W. Campbell, Jr. visits American prisoners in the German POW camp in an attempt to enlist them into a unit of his own invention, The Free American Corps, which is supposed to fight only on the Russian front. While Campbell Farrell, 2 escapes to New York after the war, the real-life William Joyce was captured near the end of the war and executed for treason in England in January of 1946. In a 1971 interview with Laurie Clancy, Vonnegut said that Mother Night was an attempt to imagine what an American Lord Haw-Haw would have been like.

(May 2007) Christopher C. Thomas, B.A., Arizona State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Arnold Krammer Poster propaganda is one of the most memorable and enduring legacies of the Second World War. These artistic creations were strongly influenced by social and cultural paradigms as well as corresponding military events. Previous scholarship on propaganda has largely overlooked the role of posters and propaganda efforts on the home front, a gap that this study seeks to fill. The purpose of this study is to compare home front posters produced by the major nations involved in the European theatre and discern any trends or patterns that have a larger significance. Each poster in the sample was arranged chronologically by country. The area of emphasis (recruiting, production, etc.) and appeal (duty, guilt, fear, hate, etc.) for each poster was then recorded and analyzed.
