    Central Europe West Germany * FOREIGN POLICY AND STATUS OF BERLIN T.HE LESSENING of East-West tensions was reflected in Germany during thJLe Hperiod under review (July 1, 1962, to December 31, 1963). Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroder favored a flexible policy similar to President John F. Kennedy's, and this was increasingly accepted by gov- ernment and public. The West, however, gave up no rights in West Berlin —a fact strongly emphasized by President Kennedy in Berlin in June 1963. Since the Russians did not press their proposals for a "peace treaty" and a "Free City of West Berlin," the status quo was more or less maintained. Until Chancellor Konrad Adenauer actually resigned on October 15, 1963, his impending retirement resulted in uncertainty and lack of direction in foreign affairs. While his prospective successor Ludwig Erhard was an advocate of close relations with the United States and Britain, Adenauer had based his policy on strong ties to France. He visited General Charles de Gaulle in July 1962 and de Gaulle, in turn, made a trip to Bonn, Hamburg, Munich, and Ludwigsburg in October 1962, and was greeted with enthusiasm. De Gaulle reiterated his conviction that German-French unity was basic to the strength and survival of Europe. In January 1963 France and Germany signed a treaty providing for close cooperation in economic, cultural, and other matters. The treaty was ratified by the Bundestag (Federal parliament) in April, its preamble stating that it was not in conflict with other German international (e.g., NATO) obligations. Bonn and Washington exchanged visitors on several occasions.

  • Katalog Zur Ausstellung Österreichisches Staatsarchiv - Generaldirektion
    Fotos und Dokumente im Österreichischen Staatsarchiv Katalog zur Ausstellung Österreichisches Staatsarchiv - Generaldirektion Text: Robert Stach Layout & Grafi k: Sabine Gfrorner Wien 2010 Zum Geleit Wenige Politiker im Laufe der Geschichte haben das Bild Österreichs im In- und Ausland so geprägt wie Bruno Kreisky (1911-1990). Seine Karriere führte diesen Mann, in verschiedensten Positionen seinem Land dienend, fast bis in das höchste Amt des Staates, eine Funktion für die zu kandidieren er jedoch ablehnte. Verfolgt von der Politik der Dreißigerjahre, als Sozialist, als Jude, kehrte er aus dem schwedi- schen Exil ohne Ressentiments zurück und half von Anfang an die Verwaltung der Zweiten Republik aufzubauen. Schon dabei nützte er die im Ausland geknüpften Kontakte für seine Arbeit und diese Verbindungen trugen in der Folge nicht nur zur Hebung seines Ansehens bei, sondern auch Österreich partizipierte davon. Wie einer seiner Biographen mit Recht meinte, strahlte Bruno Kreisky Charisma und Spontane- ität aus, war abwägend und impulsiv. Wer jemals diesem Mann persönlich begegnete und es leben heute noch viele Menschen, denen er persönlich gegenübertrat, mit ihnen diskutierte oder sie auch nur ansprach, der wird noch heute von dieser Persönlichkeit beeindruckt sein. Natürlich war auch er geprägt von Herkunft, Erziehung und allen Eigenschaften, die einen Menschen im Laufe seines Lebens prägen, aber doch war er für Generationen „der Kreisky“, der an den Staatsvertragsverhandlungen ebenso formend mitwirkte, wie dann als Außenminister in der Südtirolfrage um letzten Endes 13 Jahre als Bundeskanzler zu wirken. Das Österreichische Staatsarchiv nimmt den 100. Geburtstag dieses Staatsmannes zum Anlass in einer umfassenden Foto- und Aktenausstellung nicht nur nostalgische Erinnerungen zu wecken, sondern vor allem der heutigen Jugend mit dem von Kreisky überlieferten Bonmot „Lernen Sie Geschichte...“ mehr als ein Zeitalter nahezubringen.

  • The Treason of Rockefeller Standard Oil (Exxon) During World War II
    The Treason Of Rockefeller Standard Oil (Exxon) During World War II By The American Chronicle February 4, 2012 We have reported on Wall Street’s financing of Hitler and Nazi programs prior to World War 2 but we have not given as much attention to its treasonous acts during the war. The depths to which these men of fabled wealth sent Americans to their deaths is one of the great untold stories of the war. John Rockefeller, Jr. appointed William Farish chairman of Standard Oil of New Jersey which was later rechristened Exxon. Farish lead a close partnership with his company and I. G. Farben, the German pharmaceutical giant whose primary raison d'etre was to occlude ownership of assets and financial transactions between the two companies, especially in the event of war between the companies' respective nations. This combine opened the Auschwitz prison camp on June 14, 1940 to produce artificial rubber and gasoline from coal using proprietary patents rights granted by Standard. Standard Oil and I. G. Farben provided the capital and technology while Hitler supplied the labor consisting of political enemies and Jews. Standard withheld these patents from US military and industry but supplied them freely to the Nazis. Farish plead “no contest” to criminal conspiracy with the Nazis. A term of the plea stipulated that Standard would provide the US government the patent rights to produce artificial rubber from Standard technology while Farish paid a nominal 5,000 USD fine Frank Howard, a vice president at Standard Oil NJ, wrote Farish shortly after war broke out in Europe that he had renewed the business relationship described above with Farben using Royal Dutch Shell mediation top provide an additional layer of opacity.

Exploration of this important theme had been avoided throughout the period of the Second Republic by a carefully cultivated expression of public memory. The inherent tension between the internationally sanctioned notion of Austrian victimization during the Nazi years and the pride of many Austrian veterans in having per- formed their soldierly duties (Wehrpflichterflillung) had been a taboo subject.

  • How the Allied Multinationals Supplied Nazi Germany Throughout World War II
    How the Allied multinationals supplied Nazi Germany throughout World War II The following excerpts thoroughly document how capitalists really acted during the Second World War. Behind the patriotic propaganda that encouraged the working class to slaughter each other in the interests of competing national interests, international capital quietly kept the commodity circuits flowing and profits growing across all borders. Trading with the Enemy - war means business as usual for international capital. Excerpts from "Trading With the Enemy: An Exposé of The Nazi-American Money-Plot 1933-1949" by Charles Higham; & "The Coca Cola Company under the Nazis" by Eleanor Jones and Florian Ritzmann Charles Higham is the son of a former UK MP and Cabinet member. We begin with some excerpts from "Trading With the Enemy: An Exposé of The Nazi- American Money-Plot 1933-1949" by Charles Higham; Hale, London, 1983. This is followed by "The Coca Cola Company under the Nazis" by Eleanor Jones and Florian Ritzmann; From the "Coca Cola Goes to War" website; http://xroads.virginia.edu/%7ECLASS/coke/coke.html ===================== From the "Trading With the Enemy" cover blurb; "Here is the extraordinary true story of the American businessmen and government officials who dealt with the Nazis for profit or through conviction throughout the Second World War: Ford. Standard Oil, Chase Bank and members of the State Department were among those who shared in the spoils. Meticulously documented and dispassionately told, this is an alarming story. At its centre is 'The Fraternity', an influential international group associated with the Rockefeller or Morgan banks and linked by the ideology of Business as Usual.

  • A Strategy of Containment
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Universität Wien: OJS-Service Thomas König A Strategy of Containment Heinrich Drimmel’s Political Activism in the Realm of Higher Education Policy in the Early Second Republic Abstract: For over nine years, Heinrich Drimmel served as minister for edu- cation, becoming one of the most influential conservative politicians of the early Second Republic during his tenure. While the minister was responsible for many policy fields, higher education was particularly close to Drimmel’s heart. Yet today his reign is mostly interpreted as a period of continued pro- vincialization and missed opportunities. That does not imply that Drimmel was a hapless politician – quite the contrary. This article investigates Drim- mel’s biography, his political agenda, and his ideological background of po- litical Catholicism, all of which are rooted in the authoritarian regime of the Ständestaat. The analysis establishes that Drimmel’s aim was to preserve con- servative hegemony at Austrian universities, and he had the means to real- ize it through a strategy of containing modernity of thought. Drimmel’s “suc- cess” had long-lasting effects on the tertiary sector and scientific research in Austria. Keywords: Austria, Higher Education, conservative politics, academic culture 1. Introduction1 In early 1962, philosopher Béla Juhos intervened in a rather boring exchange between peers concerning the structural defaults of the Austrian higher education system.

    historia scribere 07 (2015) Als Vorarlberg zur Schweiz gehören wollte. Eine Analyse Raphael Einetter, BA Kerngebiet: Österreichische Geschichte eingereicht bei: Ass.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Hermann Kuprian eingereicht im: SS 2013 Rubrik: PS-Arbeit Abstract When Vorarlberg wanted to join Switzerland. An analysis The following paper deals with the ambitions of the westernmost federal state of Austria, Vorarlberg, to join Switzerland after World War I. It examines the activities of the pro-Switzerland movement. The main focus is put on the events between 1918 and 1920. Furthermore, the development of Vorarlberg as a part of the new Austria is discussed. Einleitung Mit dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs begann für die Nationen Europas eine Phase des Um bruchs, deren Folge die mehrfache Teilung ehemaliger Großreiche war. Die neugegründeten Nationalstaaten orientierten sich hierbei an dem vom US-amerikanischen Präsidenten Woodrow Wilson propagierten 14-Punkte-Plan, der den Alliierten Mächten bei den Friedensverhandlungen in den Pariser Vororten als Grundlage diente. Besonders die Idee des Selbstbestimmungsrechts der Völker, wie es Wilson formulierte, lag im Fokus der Handelnden und war doch zugleich eine der umstrittensten. Während sich die nicht-deutschsprachigen Teile der vormaligen Habsburgermonarchie nach Kriegsende für eigenständig erklärten und lediglich in den Grenzzonen Verhandlungen über die Zugehörigkeit stattfanden, gestaltete sich die Lage im westlichsten ehemaligen Kronland Vorarlberg am schwierigsten. Wenngleich die Landesversammlung am 3. November 1918 Vorarlberg provisorisch als Teil Deutsch-Österreichs bezeichnete, kamen die Abgeordneten darüber ein, dass es über die Zukunft des Landes einer Abstimmung bedürfe, da man dem kleinen österreichischen Reststaat keine große Überlebenschance einräumte.
