    248 book reviews Niklas Frank, Dunkle Seele, feiges Maul: Wie absurd, komisch und skandalös sich die Deutschen beim Entnazifizieren reinwaschen (Bonn: Dietz, 2016). – 579 pages. – isbn 9783801204051. The author of this book is the son of Hitler’s governor of Poland and leading Nazi, Hans Frank, one of the main instigators of the Holocaust, personally responsible for Auschwitz—the camp and what went on there. Denouncing his father, Niklas Frank also wrote a bbc documentary ‘My Nazi Legacy’. In his latest book, Dunkle Seele, feiges Maul [The Dark Souls of German Nazis], Frank investigates what hap- pened to ex-Nazis in the immediate postwar years in Germany. While his father was hanged after the Nuremberg trials for war crimes, most other leaders of the National Socialist movement got off virtually scot free. Based on substantial archival studies, Niklas Frank takes the Spruchkammerverfahren or Denazification Hearings, set up precisely to make sure that did not happen, to task. Between 1946 and 1950 thousands of ex-Nazis appeared in front of such hearing. All but a few either served no time at all for their criminal acts or received short sentences. That the Nazis were not totally eradicated and punished beggars the imagination. These so-called Denazification Hearings were linked to the word Persilschein, a German idiom deriving from a brand of laundry detergent, Persil. To gain a Persilschein means to be clean, forever purged of schmutz. Thousands of ex-Nazis were eager to gain a certificate [Schein] that said ‘iv’ or ‘v’, not guilty or spar- kling clean. The five classification were: i major offenders (Hauptschuldige); ii offenders: Nazi activists, militants, or profiteers (Belastete); iii lesser offenders (Minderbelastete); iv followers (Mitläufer); and finally, v exonerated persons (Entlastete).

Instead of working they should stay at home, cook and take care of their children. Many high-skilled women like teachers, lawyers and doctors were dismissed. After 1939 only few women were left in professional jobs. A common rhyme for women was: "Take hold of kettle, broom and pan, Then you’ll surely get a man! Shop and office leave alone, Your true life work lies at home." To encourage married couples to get many children Hitler introduced the “Law for the Encouragement of Marriage”.

HAMBURG BRANCH E.V. Invitation to an RAeS lecture in cooperation with the DGLR and VDI The world’s first true rocket aircraft - the Heinkel He 176 Douglas Downer-Smith Lecture followed by discussion Date: Thursday, 1st October, 18:00 Location: HAW Hamburg Entry free ! Berliner Tor 5 No registration ! (Neubau), Hörsaal 01.12 Praxis Seminar Luftfahrt Germany 1939 - the Heinkel He 176 flew and was the first aircraft specifically designed for liquid fuel rocket propulsion. This was a true milestone of flight and just a few weeks before another milestone, the first flight of a turbojet aircraft – the Heinkel He 178. Both of these flights were made by the same pilot. Despite sparse archival evidence, how this aircraft came into existence against the backdrop of the rise of rocketry in pre-war Germany is covered, especially as regards relationships between those involved – Ernst Heinkel, the Luftwaffe and the pilot, Eric Warsitz. The probable performance of the aircraft is explored using animation and aircraft design software. Pre- war film of aircraft rocket propulsion experiments will be shown for comparison. Douglas Downer-Smith is an electronics engineer with a life-long interest in aviation. This has resulted in a special study of the jet and rocket aircraft of World War II. Researching some of the lesser known aircraft of this period is challenging yet rewarding and he is in contact with leading researchers in Germany and the USA.

Once deprived of their Bf 109 escorts, the German bombers were acutely vulnerable to the predations of British Spitfires and Hurricanes. © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com he story of the German Luftwaffe (Air Force) has been an abiding focus of military Thistorians since the end of World War II in 1945. It is not difficult to see why. Like many aspects of the German war machine, the Luftwaffe was a crowning achievement of the German rearmament programme. During the 1920s and early 1930s, the air force was a shadowy organization, operating furtively under the tight restrictions on military development imposed by the Versailles Treaty. Yet through foreign-based aircraft design agencies, civilian air transport and nationalistic gliding clubs, the seeds of a future air force were nevertheless kept alive and growing in Hitler’s new Germany, and would eventually emerge in the formation of the Luftwaffe itself in 1935. The nascent Luftwaffe thereafter grew rapidly, its ranks of both men and aircraft swelling under the ambition of its commander-in-chief, Hermann Göring.

Jagdflugzeug Heinkel He 112 – der Hoffnungsjäger von Dr. Volker Koos (ADL) 09.2016 durchgesehene Fassung der Erstveröffentlichung in Klassiker der Luftfahrt 2/2006 Die He 112 war Heinkels Konkurrenzentwurf zur Bf 109. Komplizierter im Aufbau und leistungsmäßig der Mes- serschmitt unterlegen, war sie dennoch ein vor allem aerodynamisch interessanter Entwurf, bei dem Heinkel auf zuvor mit der He 70 gemachte Erfahrungen zurückgriff. Mit der He 112 erzielte Heinkel kaum mehr als einen Ach- tungserfolg. Entstehungsgeschichte Mit der He 112 versuchte Heinkel, im Wettbewerb um den Standardjäger der Luftwaffe das Heft an sich zu reißen. Schon ab Herbst 1933 arbeiteten die Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in Warnemünde am Projekt des „Verfolgungsjagdeinsitzers" P 1015. Die erste vorläufige Baubeschreibung und das Projekt wurden dem Staatssekretär Erhard Milch bei einer Werks- besichtigung im Dezember vorgestellt. Im Flugzeugentwicklungsprogramm vom 1. November 1935 wird als Zeitpunkt für die Aufgabenstellung „Verfolgungsjagdeinsitzer" an die Entwicklungsgruppe ebenfalls der Dezember 1933 genannt. Der Termin der Aufgabenstellung an die Industrie ist hier mit Februar 1934 angegeben. Die Entwicklungsaufträge gingen danach an Arado (Ar 80), die Bayerischen Flugzeugwerke (Bf 109) und Heinkel (He 112).

  • The Problem of Ernst Heinkel: Nationalism and State Power in Early Twentieth Century German Aviation
    THE PROBLEM OF ERNST HEINKEL: NATIONALISM AND STATE POWER IN EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY GERMAN AVIATION A Thesis by ROBERT WILLIAM RENNIE Submitted to the Graduate School Appalachian State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTERS OF ARTS May 2011 Department of History Copyright by Robert William Rennie 2011 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT THE PROBLEM OF ERNST HEINKEL: NATIONALISM AND STATE POWER IN EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY GERMAN AVIATION Robert William Rennie, B.A., North Georgia College & State University M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Rennie Brantz The thesis examines the changing power structure between Ernst Heinkel’s private aviation business and the German government during the first half of the twentieth century. The newly born aviation industry felt the power struggle between government control and self-determination more sharply than any other. Indeed, aviation witnessed remarkable progress and turmoil as Germany transitioned from a wartime economy, through the disorder of the Weimar Republic, and then back into a militaristic dictatorship and the destruction of the Second World War. Born in 1888, Ernst Heinkel was an aircraft designer and businessman during both the First and Second World Wars. His experience within this power structure provide first-hand knowledge of the conflicting needs of aviation’s inherently internationalist existence, and the nationalistic desire of the German government to control the growth of this new industry. Heinkel designed and constructed remarkable aircraft in both the civilian and military markets, and his work on jet aircraft was truly ahead of his own time. Heinkel was a pioneer, but he was also a victim of the long reach of the Third Reich; his life and his business were both dramatically transformed by the experience.

  • Heinkel He 111 1 Heinkel He 111
    Heinkel He 111 1 Heinkel He 111 Heinkel He 111 Heinkel He 111H Typ: Bomber Entwurfsland: Deutsches Reich Hersteller: Heinkel Erstflug: 6. November 1935 Indienststellung: 1936 Produktionszeit: 1936 bis 1944 (als CASA 2.111 bis 1956) Stückzahl: 7.716 Die Heinkel He 111 war ein zweimotoriger freitragender Tiefdecker in Ganzmetallbauweise mit Einziehfahrwerk der Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugwerke, Rostock. Die Konstruktion von Siegfried Günter baute dabei stark auf den Erfahrungen mit dem einmotorigen Schnellverkehrsflugzeug He 70 auf. Die Maschine wurde in den 1930er Jahren als Verkehrsflugzeug für zwei Mann Besatzung und zehn Passagiere konzipiert und in großen Stückzahlen im Zweiten Weltkrieg als Bomber eingesetzt. Nach Ende des Krieges produzierte die CASA in Spanien das Flugzeug noch bis Mitte der 1950er Jahre unter der Bezeichnung CASA 2.111 weiter. Produktionsgeschichte Bereits im Jahr 1932 erteilte das Reichsverkehrsministerium (RVM) den Auftrag zur Entwicklung eines Bomben- und Verkehrsflugzeugs, wobei die Bombervariante (noch geheim) Vorrang hatte. Am 17. November 1934 startete die He 111 V1 (Werknummer 713, 1. Militärversion) zum Erstflug. Im Mai 1935 folgte die He 111 V2 (W.Nr. 715) als erster ziviler Prototyp. Im Laufe der Erprobung wurden verschiedene Änderungen vorgenommen, so zum Beispiel der Einbau stärkerer Motoren, da die Luftwaffe eine höhere Geschwindigkeit forderte. Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass die Heinkel He 111 im Flug aerodynamisch hochwertige Zelle sehr teuer war, wurde ab 1936 versucht, die Kosten durch Einführung neuer Tragflächen zu senken: Ab der He-111-F-Serie erhielten alle Flugzeuge trapezförmige Tragflächen, die im Vergleich zu den bis dahin verwendeten gerade Vorder- und Hinterkanten aufwiesen. Heinkel He 111 2 Die Luftwaffe erhielt ihre ersten He 111 B im Spätherbst 1936.
