  • Operation Sunrise: America’S OSS, Swiss Intelligence, and the German Surrender 1945
    Operation Sunrise: America’s OSS, Swiss Intelligence, and the German Surrender 1945 by Stephen P. Halbrook* Operation Sunrise was a cooperative effort of American and Swiss intelligence services which led to the unconditional surrender of the German Wehrmacht forces in Northern Italy and Western Austria on May 2, 1945. General Heinrich von Vietinghoff, Commander-in- Chief of the Southwest Command and of Army Group C, surrendered nearly a million soldiers, the strongest remaining German force. This was the first great surrender of German forces to the Allies, and became a strong impetus for the final Allied victory over Nazi Germany on May 8, Victory in Europe (VE) Day. Operation Sunrise helped to nip in the bud Nazi aspirations for guerilla resistance in an Alpine redoubt. Sunrise, sometimes referred to as “Crossword,” has special significance today beyond the sixtieth anniversary of the German surrender. Despite Switzerland’s formal neutrality, Swiss intelligence agents aggressively facilitated American efforts to end the war. Ironically, the efforts of key U.S. intelligence agents on the ground to orchestrate the surrender were hampered and almost scuttled by leaders in Washington to appease Joseph Stalin, who wished to delay the surrender in the West so that Soviet forces could grab more territory in the East. *This paper was originally presented at the conference Sunrise ‘05, Locarno, Switzerland, May 2, 2005, and was published in “Operation Sunrise.” Atti del convegno internazionale (Locarno, 2 maggio 2005), a cura di Marino Viganò - Dominic M. Pedrazzini (Lugano 2006), pp. 103-30. The conference was held to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the surrender of German forces in northern Italy.

  • Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records Interagency Working Group
    HISTORICAL MATERIALS IN THE DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY OF INTEREST TO THE NAZI WAR CRIMES AND JAPANESE IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT RECORDS INTERAGENCY WORKING GROUP The Dwight D. Eisenhower Library holds a large quantity of documentation relating to World War II and to the Cold War era. Information relating to war crimes committed by Nazi Germany and by the Japanese Government during World War II can be found widely scattered within the Library’s holdings. The Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records Interagency Working Group is mandated to identify, locate and, as necessary, declassify records pertaining to war crimes committed by Nazi Germany and Japan. In order to assist the Interagency Working Group in carrying out this mission, the Library staff endeavored to identify historical documentation within its holdings relating to this topic. The staff conducted its search as broadly and as thoroughly as staff time, resources, and intellectual control allowed and prepared this guide to assist interested members of the public in conducting research on documents relating generally to Nazi and Japanese war crimes. The search covered post- war references to such crimes, the use of individuals who may have been involved in such crimes for intelligence or other purposes, and the handling of captured enemy assets. Therefore, while much of the documentation described herein was originated during the years when the United States was involved in World War II (1939 to 1945) one marginal document originated prior to this period can be found and numerous post-war items are also covered, especially materials concerning United States handling of captured German and Japanese assets and correspondence relating to clemency for Japanese soldiers convicted and imprisoned for war crimes.

FELTMAN) ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to examine what can be considered a military blunder on the part of the Nazi Germans. On June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany launched a massive invasion into the Soviet Union and Soviet territories. The political goals of Operation Barbarossa were to seize hold of the expanses of land belonging to the Soviet Union. This would serve as the foundation for increased agricultural production and the enslavement of any remaining Slavic people for the supposed greater good Germany.

The Military History Symposium is an annual event sponsored jointly by the Department of History and the Association of Graduates, United States Air Force Academy. The theme of the first symposium, held on 4-5May 1967 at the Air Force Academy, was “Current Concepts in Military History.” Several factors inspired the inauguration of the symposium series, the foremost being the expanding interest in the field of military history demonstrated at recent meetings of the American Historical Association and similar professional organizations. A professional meeting devoted solely to the subject of military his- tory seemed appropriate. The Air Force Academy’s Department of History has been particularly concerned with the history of military affairs and warfare since the founding of the institution.

    Armeeoberkommando 9 (Ninth Army)* The Ninth Army was formed on May lU, 19^0, when part of Theater Command East (Oberbefehlshaber Ost) was given this designation. It was transferred to the western front, first as a reserve unit and later as an active unit, where it remained until the end of March 19^1. The army served on the central sec- tor of the eastern front from June 19^1 until the end of the war. It with- drew from the Upper Dnieper area in July I^hk to the region west of Brest- Litovsk, then moved to the Warsaw area. The 9"th Army was responsible for the defense of Wave SIT during the autumn of 19^ and was heavily engaged during the Soviet offensive in this area. It withdrew from the Warsaw sector and across central Poland in January 19^5j during the Soviet winter offensive, and disbanded on May 8, 19^5- Commanders of the Ninth Army between 19^-0 and 19^5 were Generals Johannes Blaskowitz, Adolf Strauss, Walter Model, Heinrich von Vietinghoff, Josef Harpe, Hans Jordan, Nickolaus von Vormann, Smilo von Luttwitz, and Theodor Busse.

  • Memoranda for the President: Sunrise
    Memoranda for the President: Sunrise APPROVED FOR RELEASE CIA HISTORICAL REVIEW PROGRAM 22 SEPT 93 OFFICIAL USE ONLY Intelligence cables covering the capitulation of the Nazi armies in northern Italy. Among the William J. Donovan papers are five volumes entitled OSS Reports to the White House containing carbons of memoranda predominantly transmitting or paraphrasing intelligence reports for the President's personal attention. They are characteristically introduced by a note to the President's secretary, Miss Grace Tully: "Dear Grace: Will you please hand the attached memorandum to the President? I believe it will be of interest to him." They begin in modest quantity, the first volume covering a full two years and including some administrative matters such as requests for draft deferment; but those for the nine months beginning with July 1944 occupy three volumes, almost exclusively intelligence. After President Roosevelt's death and the end of the war in Europe they taper off in the fifth volume-bound, curiously, in reverse chronology-and again include nonsubstantive material, particularly concerning the formation of a peacetime central intelligence agency. The reports are for the most part not the finished intelligence that the President might now be expected to examine personally. They do include summaries of some Research and Analysis Branch estimates-of the age distribution of German casualties, for example, or the Soviet Union's population in 1970-but the bulk of them are unedited reporting from individual case officers on subjects of particular importance or of particular interest to President Roosevelt. For the historian this minute but choice fraction of the total of OSS raw reporting constitutes a pre- selected documentary source of considerable value.

  • “The Coup-Proofing Toolbox: Institutional Power, Military Effectiveness, and the Puzzle of Nazi Germany”
    “The Coup-Proofing Toolbox: Institutional Power, Military Effectiveness, and the Puzzle of Nazi Germany” Dr. Dan Reiter Department of Political Science Emory University [email protected] Note to University of Maryland readers: For my April 24 presentation, I will be presenting both this paper and a second, related paper. This paper is currently under review and should not be cited or circulated. Abstract: How do dictators avoid being overthrown by coup d’état? One theory proposes that dictators reduce internal threats by engaging in “coup-proofing,” though coup-proofing reduces military effectiveness. Another theory proposes that dictators facing external threats avoid coup- proofing to maximize military effectiveness, and simply accept a higher risk of being overthrown. This paper proposes a new theory, explaining how dictators need not choose between either reducing internal threats or maximizing military effectiveness. It describes coup- proofing tactics available to dictators, noting that only some coup-proofing tactics reduce military effectiveness. It predicts that dictators facing high levels of coup risk and external threat implement coup-proofing tactics that do not reduce military effectiveness, and avoid tactics that reduce military effectiveness. The theory is tested on the case of Nazi Germany, finding empirical support. Hitler generally implemented only those coup-proofing measures that do not reduce military effectiveness. It solves the puzzle of how Hitler was able both to avoid being overthrown in a military coup, and

LAW REPORTS OF TRIALS OF WAR CRIMINALS SELECTED AND PREPARED BY THE UNITED NATIONS WAR CRIMES COMMISSION I One of the aims of this series of Reports is to relate in summary form the course of the most important of the proceedings taken I' against persons accused of committing war crimes during the Second [I World War, apart from the major war criminals tried by the ,I Nuremberg and Tokyo International Military Tribunals, but ;1 'I including those tried by United States Military Tribunals at I Nuremberg. Of necessity, the trials reported in these volumes are examples only, since the trials conducted before the various Allied Courts of which the Commission has had record, number about 1,600. The trials selected for reporting, however, are ~hose which are thought to be of the greatest interest legally and in which important points of municipal and international law arose and were settled. Each report, however, contains not only the outline of the proceedings in the trial under review, but also, in a separate section headed" Notes on the Case ", such comments of an explanatory nature on the legal matters arising in that trial as it has been thought useful to include. These notes provide also, at suitable points, general summaries and analyses of the decisions of the courts on specific points of law derived primarily from a study of relevant trials already reported upon in the series.
