The project is organised in five parts and covers the newspapers in chronological sequence. Part 1 provides full coverage for 1939; Part 2: 1940; Part 3: 1941; Part 4: 1942-1943; and finally, Part 5 covers 1944-1945. At last social historians and students of journalism can consult complete war-time runs of Britain’s popular newspapers in their libraries. Less august than the papers of record, it is these papers which reveal most about the impact of the war on the home front, the way in which people amused themselves in the face of adversity, and the way in which public morale was kept high through a mixture of propaganda and judicious reporting. Most importantly, it is through these papers that we can see how most ordinary people received news of the war. For, with a combined circulation of over 23 million by 1948, and a secondary readership far in excess of these figures, the News of the World, The People, the Daily Express, The Daily Mirror, and the Sunday Express reached into the homes of the majority of the British public and played a critical role in shaping public perceptions of the war.

  • Glasgow." British Jotinid of Radiology, December 1939, Pp. 692-695. Treatment of Cutaneous Diseases."
    Radium was first used as a medical therapeutic agent in North America in about 1904. Dissolved radium in water was thought to have some medicinal quality. Gamma radiation fiom radium sources was used both internally and externally, primarily for treatment of cancers such as those of the brain, larynx, esophagus, stomach, rectum, breast, bladder, testicles, prostate, cervix, ovary, uterus, and also for diffuse cancers such as Hodgkin's disease, lymphosarcoma, and leukemia. Radiation fiom radium was also used to treat other non-malignant medical conditions and growths, such as goiters, enlarged thymus gland, thyroid disorders, nasal polyps, eye infections, and certain bone disorders. Radium tubes were used extensively during the 1950s and 1960s for the treatment of chronic tonsillitis and enlarged adenoids, and for reduction of lymphoid tissue following tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy, reduction of thymus gland (to prevent crib death), acute and chronic ear infections . (otitis media), ear trauma (aerotitis media) suffered by World War I1 pilots and Navy divers, birthmarks, acne, ringworm of the scalp, and various hearing disorders (mild tone deafness in children). The anticipated effect of radium therapy was a slow reduction in the mass of tissue, so that the tissue flattened and became thinner. Tissue folds, pits, or crevices opened and shrank after exposure to radiation. This made radium the treatment of choice by some physicians for conditions where inflamed or swollen tissues were problematic. Radiation therapy was generally given in a series of - three or four treatments over two weeks, and was repeated, if necessary, after six months. Since gamma radiation originated from external radium sources, the skin usually received the highest dose.

  • Allied Relations and Negotiations with Sweden A
    Allied Relations and Negotiations With Sweden A. The Allies and Sweden's Wartime Neutrality The geography of Sweden's wartime position, surrounded by German armed forces in Norway, Denmark, and Finland and cut off by the blockade imposed by both the Germans and the Allies, shaped the character of its neutrality stance and the Allies' economic warfare policies alike. Until 1943, Allied economic relations with Sweden were regulated by the Anglo-Swedish War Trade Agreement of December 1939, as modified to respond to the changing military situation in Scandinavia. The December 1939 agreement, in which both countries undertook to maintain the exchange of goods at the normal level (i.e., that of 1938), had two main provisions: Britain would not impede Swedish imports of reasonable quantities of commodities, and Sweden promised not to re-export certain specified goods and to maintain its total exports to Germany at 1938 levels. During the first several years of the War, Britain was satisfied that Sweden honored the terms of the 1939 trade agreement. German occupation of Denmark and Norway in April 1940 made the threat of German invasion of Sweden real. Sweden's neutrality was confirmed and defined by an exchange of letters between King Gustav and Adolf Hitler that same month. Swedish wartime diplomacy sought to ward off German invasion by adopting a neutrality that sacrificed some of Sweden's independence and made significant concessions to Germany. While the Allies understood Sweden's strategic plight and were sympathetic to a fellow democracy, concern persisted over Sweden's contribution to Germany's war effort.

  • Early Warning Signs
    National Days of Remembrance EARLY WARNING SIGNS Austria, ca. 1938: A woman sits on a park bench marked “For Jews Only,” after German authorities implemented anti-Jewish laws. US Holocaust Memorial Museum, courtesy of The Wiener Library In the pivotal year before Nazi Germany invaded Poland and launched World War II, intervention could have saved many lives. Why did so many fail to respond to the warning signs and what lessons do their actions hold for us today? 1 National Days of Remembrance earlyWARNIN warningG SIGN: T SIGNSerritorial: TERRIT EXOpanRIALS IONEXP ANSI ON Anschluss March 11 – 13 German troops enter Austria, which is incorporated into the German Reich. This is known as the Anschluss. German authorities quickly implement anti-Jewish legislation that encourages an atmosphere of hostility toward the Jewish population. The Anschluss accelerated persecution and violence against Jews in the Reich. As a result, Hilde Kraemer’s parents, living in Germany, encouraged her to emigrate from France, where she was in boarding school. With relatives in New York as sponsors, Hilde immigrated to the United States in the summer of 1938. In 1942, her mother and stepfather were deported to Auschwitz, where they perished. Hilde’s half-brother Alfred obtained passage to the United States in 1941 with the aid of a Swedish nurse and Jewish and Quaker aid organizations. Hilde and Alfred reunited in the United States. German troops cross the border from Germany into Austria at the Kiefersfelden crossing.

  • Finland in Crisis: Finnish Relations with the Western Democracies
    Finland in Crisis: Finnish Relations with the Western Democracies, 1939-1941 by Mylon Ollila A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 © Mylon Ollila 2012 Author’s Declaration Page I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis examines Finland’s relations with Britain and the United States from 1939- 1941. During this period, Finland engaged in two wars against the Soviet Union. In 1939-1940 Finland defended itself against a Soviet attack with the emotional and material support of Britain and the United States. By 1941 Finland was once again at war with the Soviet Union. The geopolitical situation had changed so significantly that Finland found itself aligned with Germany against the Soviet Union. Consequently Finnish relations with the western democracies were strained, although Britain and the United States had previously supported Finland against the Soviet Union. This thesis examines the differences in foreign policy and public opinion in Britain and the United States and the nature of their relations with Finland from 1939-1941. iii Acknowledgements This period of study at the University of Waterloo has been a valuable experience in my personal and professional development. My thesis supervisor, Alex Statiev, was the central influence in this development. I could not have hoped for a better mentor.

  • The Fate of Jewish Prisoners of War in the September 1939 Campaign* By
    The Fate of Jewish Prisoners of War in the September 1939 Campaign* by Shmuel Krakowski This article is a first attempt to describe the fate of several tens of thousands of Jewish soldiers in the Polish Army, taken prisoner of war with the defeat of Poland in September 1939. This topic has not yet been explored by historians, with the exception of a few pages in Szymon Datner's book, "The Wehr- macht's Crimes Against Prisoners of War of the Regular Armies During the Second World War."1 There is very little documentary material available on the subject. The Polish Army, defeated in the Blitzkrieg, left no written records of its men taken prisoner, and the scanty files of the Polish Government-in-Exile in London hardly mention the fate of the Jewish prisoners of war. Soviet documents are still inaccessible. As for documentary evidence concerning German prisoner of war camps, the material relating to the first year of the Second World War, the object of our research, has been lost and only very few references appeared in the German documents introduced as evidence in the Nuremberg Trials. The main source of material is, therefore, the evidence and records of former prisoners of war, both Jews and Poles, either preserved in archives or published. Although it is impossible to analyze this kind of data with any statistical accuracy, it does enable us to ascertain basic facts and to describe the situation and fate of Jewish prisoners of war. * A chapter from a research project entitled "The Jews of Poland in the Regular Armies in the Days of World War II" (with the exception of the Berling Army in the U.S.S.R.), carried out under the auspices of the Institute of Contemporary Jewry, The Hebrew University, with the aid of the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture in New York and friends of the Great Neck Institute, U.S.A.
