Membership is open to anyone interested in the history of the Second World War. Annual dues, payable in January for the calendar year, are $10.00 for regular members, as well as for institut.ions receiving the semiannual newsletter, and $2.00 for students. Those wishing to join or to renew their membership are invited to fill out the lower part of the Information and Membership Form (attached to this news­ letter as an unnumbered page) and to return it, with the appropriate remittance, to the secretary. The information provided on the form will be included, unless otherwise requested, in the Membership Directory.

NOTE ON THE MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY

Newsletter 19, issued this past spring, included a thirty- five page directory of the membership of the ACHSWW. A re­ vised version will be prepared for the Spring 1979 news­ letter. It will not include, as originally planned, a listing of the officers of the International Committee and the chair­ men of the affiliated national committees, for they are listed on pp. 23-26 of the attached News Bulletin of the International Commi ttee • The directory in the ACHSWW's next newsletter will refle,~:t changes of address and correction of errors kindly brought to our attention. Recent moves that have not yet been reported, as well as other changes in or additions to indi­ vidual entries, may be indicated on the attached Information and Membership Form.

COMMITTEE ELECTIONS

The three-year terms of eight of the directors and of the committee's two officers end on 31 December 1978. Following the established practice of the committee, the directors, acting as a nominating committee, have selected a slate of incumbents and new candidates. These nominations are recorded on the ballot attached to this newsletter (as an unnumbered page following the International Committee News Bulletin) . Members are requested to send their completed ballots to the secretary at their earliest convenience, either enclosing them when they renew their membership or sending them separ­ ately. Because of possible delays in postal service during November (when this newsletter with the ballot is being mailed) and December, ballots will not be tallied until January.

2 THE INTEm~ATIONAL COMMITTEE NEWS BULLETIN

The September 1978 issue of the News BUlletin of the Inter­ national Committee is appended to this newsletter following the bibliography, \vhich ends on page 28. We hope to pro­ vide ACHSWW members regularly with copies of this bulletin, with its valuable coverage of international activities and scholarship on the area of the Second World War.

THE 1978 ANNUAL MEETING

The annual meeting of the ACHSWW is being held this year! as in the past, in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Historical Association. In 1978 the joint meeting is .being held in San Francisco.

BUSINESS MEETING

The ACHSWW Business Meeting is scheduled to take place from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, 28 December 1978, in the Walnut Room of the San Francisco Hilton. The tentative agenda includes plans for a joint session proposal for the 1979 annual meeting, being held in New York, and for the program of the 1980 Conference of the Interna­ tional Committee for the History of the Second World War, being held in conjunction with the Fifteenth International Congress of Historical Sciences in Bucharest. (Information on the International Co~mittee's plans for this conference will be found in the International Committee's Bulletin, which is appended to this newsletter.) Another item on the agenda will be the question of research resources on the World War II era, the topic on which the ACHSWN initially had proposed a joint session, but for which a substitution had to be made, as explained below. No formal presentation on research resources is planned, but rather a general discussion of what the committee may be able to do in order to facilitate the study of the World War II era. (The com~ mittee secretary--should any member wish to contact him before the meeting regarding the agenda or for other reasons--is planning to arrive at the San Francisco ~ilton on the evening of the 27th.)

1978 JOINT SESSION

At the 1977 business meeting of the ACHSWW, it was resolved, as reported in Newsletter 19, that the committee propose a joint session with the AHA on the topic of Research Resources for the Era of the Second World War. a panel discussion including leading authorities (among them three members of the committee's board) on different aspects of the challenge of developing control of the vast and growing body of source materials on the World War II period. When it was learned that the AHA Program Committee, relatively early in its deliberations, had ruled out our proposal, it was arranged

3 4

to co-sponsor another proposed session that had, in a sense t grown out of our May 1977 conference on the postwar occupation of Germany and Japan t but that had not been initially adopted by the program committee. The AHA-ACHSWW joint session for the 1978 meeting t as finally approved t will be held from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 28 Dec., in the Borgia Room of the St. Francis Hotel,

SESSIO>! ON THE HOLOCAUST

Committee members free on the morning of the 28th may be interested in attending Session 25, the joint session of the AHA and the Committee on History in the Classroom (of which the ACHSWW secretary is co-chairman)t Teaching the Holocaust: Comparative Approaches to a Sensitive Subject (9:30-11:30 a.m.~ 28 Dec" Colonial Room of the St. Francis Hotel). Organized and chaired by Donald S. Detwiler, the session will have papers by Siegfried Bachmann, Brunswick, Gerald R. Kleinfeld t Arizona State t and Erich Go1dhagen t Harvard. The commentator will be Howard Morley Sachar of George Washington University. Synopsis: Ultimately incomprehensible t the Holocaust confronts the teacher of history with a daunting challenge. Three perspectives on it will be considered in this session: its treatment in the context of courses dealing with German history being taught in America; the v.arious approaches taken to it in postwar Western Europe; and the attempt in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union to obscure itt reducing it to an inconspicuous episode of World War II. OTHER MEETINGS

The appended issue of the International Committee News Bulle­ tin reports, in some cases in considerable detail, on meetings and conferences of the affiliated national committees. The American Committee was represented in May and June at meetings in eastern and northern Europe. Wi.th support from the ACHSWW', their respective institu­ tions, the host committees, and NEH-funded grants from the American Council of Learned Societies, Professor Arthur L. Funk, Chairman of the ACHS~M and Vice-President of the International Committee, and Professor Donald S. Detwiler, Secretary of the ACHSWW, attended the meetinq of the Executive Board of the International Committee in Bucharest on 24 May 1978 and a collo­ quium on 27-28 May in Sofia, which was jointly sponsored by the Bulgarian Committee and the International Cornnlittee. The deliber­ ations of the Bucharest meeting are described in detail in the appended issue of the International Committee News Bulletin. The report of the ACHSWW secretary, who was the official repre­ sentative of the American Committee at the Sofia meeting, is carried below. At the beginning of June, Professor F.H.G. Taylor of the University of Florida represented the ACHSWW at the inter­ national symposium in Helsinki. His report follows that on the Sofia meeting.

INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM IN SOFIA ON THE ANTI-FASCIST RESISTANCE IN AXIS­ PACT COUNTRIES

Jointly sponsor.ed by the Condte International d 'Histoire de la DeuxH~me Guerre Mondiale and the Bulgarian Committee on the History of the Second World War. the meeting was conducted under the auspices of the History Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Science on 27 & 28 May 1978 in Sofia. The two-day program included some thirty presentations by World

War II historians from a dozen countries (Austria t Bulgaria, Czechoslo­

vakia. Finland t France t the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, 'the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and Yugoslavia), each simultaneously translated (over earphones) in the five conference languages (Bulgarian, English, French. German, and Russian). Though relatively lindted time was available for discuss ion, the discussion that did take place was objective and issue-oriented. Chairman and host of the conference was the head of the Bulgar­ ian Committee on the History of the Second World War, David Elazar, who is also director of the Bulgarian Academy of Science's History Institute. He shared the chairmanship of the conference, during the two long afternoon sessions, with the Vice-President of the International Committee. Arthur L. Funk. on the first day. and the International Committee's treasurer, Harry Paape, on the second. The Bulgarians' hospitality toward partici­ pants in the conference was gratifying. There was ample opportunity for

individual contact and conversation with individual schola-rs t and the atmosphere was conducive to utilizing this opportunity.

The conference hosts (or, in some cases, the participants them­ selves) kindly provided, for duplication as needed, copies of the full­ length papers on which the presentations were based. Among the papers now on file with the committee archivist is the keynote address by the Bulgarian historian Kiril Vassilev on the antifascist resistance in Axis­ pact countries, and his fellow countryman Dimitar Sirkov's paper on anti­ fascist resistance in Bulgaria (both in English translation), papers by Soviet Colonel A. A. Bobanov on the partisan struggle in the USSR and by his colleague Colonel Michael I. Semiryaga on the impact of the victories of the Soviet Army on the anti-fascist resistance (both in Russian); by Klaus Drobisch and Dieter Lange of the German Democratic Republic on the German resistance, and by Gyula Juhasz of Hungary on the intellectual resistance in his country (all three papers in German); by Mihai ~tu, Bucharest, on the resistance in Romania (in French); and the paper of the British representative, Elisabeth Barker, British Rela­ tions with Anti-Fascist Groups in Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary. (For the full titIes, page count, and cos t of these papers, as well as others from the conference that may be made available, please write directly to the ACHSWW Archivist at the address shown on the first page of this news Iet ter . )

INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM IN HELSINKI ON WORLD WAR II IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES

An International Symposium of Military and Political Historians took place in Helsinki, Finland, between June 2 and 6, 1978. The Symposium was organized by the Finnish Committee for the History of the Second World War, the Finnish Commission of Military History and the Institute of Military Science of the Finnish Armed Forces, in cooperation with the International Committee for the History of the Second World War. This was the second of two symposia focussed on World War II in the Nordic countries. The first was held two years ago in Oslo; it covered the years 1939 and 1940. This year's symposium was organized around two topics: "The Great Powers and the Nordic Countries in 1941-1945" and "The Organization of the Military High Command During the Second World War." Eighty-five participants from nineteen countries took part in the symposium. Discussion was lively and often spirited, especially during the presentation of the papers on the first of the topics named above. The weather was perfect from beginning to end. The setting and service at the Swedish-Finnish Cultural Center at Hanasaari were first­ rate; the staffing and simultaneous translations of the proceedings excellent; and the hospitality of our Finnish hosts ever-present and without bounds. Of outside activities the most striking was our presence at the 60th Anniversary Parade of the Finnish Armed Forces at Hameenlinna. Grateful thanks are due especially to Professor Olli Vehvilainen, Chairman of the Finnish Committee for the History of the Second World War, and to Lieutenant-Colonel Antti Juutilainen of the Finnish Insti­ tute of Military Science, Helsinki. RESEARCH RESOURCES

The series of reports in this newsletter on research insti­ tutions is continued in this issue with coverage of three specialized centers. The report on the Leo Baeck Institute in New York was kindly provided by the institute's chief archivist, Dr. Sybil Milton. The reports on the Institute for European History in Mainz and the Library for Contemporary History in Stuttgart were written by the newsle"tter editor, who worked at both centers ",hile in Germany this past summer on a grant from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

TIiE LEO BAECK INSTITUTE IN NEW YORK AND ITS HOLDINGS ON THE ERA OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR

After 1945, a wealth of documentary material about World War II, Nazi Germany, and the Holocaust was deposited in a large number of autono­ mous public and private foreign and American archives. One of these specialized research and study centers was the Leo Baeck Institute in New York. (Located at 129 East 73rd Street, N. Y., N. Y. 10021, it is open Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and during the academic year until 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday evenings.) The institute was founded in 1955 by the Council of Jews from Germany "for the purpose of collecting material and sponsoring research about the life and history of the Jewish community in Germany and other German-speaking countries, from the Emancipation to the Nazi persecution." The archives and library of the institute are one of the largest docu­ mentary collections in this field, containing over 2000 linear feet of archives, a specialized library of 50,000 volumes, over 600 periodicals and newspapers, 500 memoirs, and an art collection. A sampling of major literary estates includes the following names: Leo Baeck, Heinrich Braun, Lily Braun, Julie Braun-Vogelstein, }furtin Buber, Paul Ehrlich, Albert Einstein, Efraim Frisch, Sigmund Freud, Emil J. Gumbel, Kurt Grossmann, Fritz Haber, Erich von Kahler, Kurt Kersten, Eduard Lasker, Fritz Mauthner, the Rudolf Mosse family, Franz Rosenzweig, Hans Schaeffer, Leopold Schwarzschild, Richard Willstaedter, and Leopold Zunz. There are also substantial collections about German-Jewish communities in Berlin and Hamburg (the Jacob Jacobson Collection), Silesia (the Pinkus and Fraenkel Collection), Baden and the Palatinate (Berthold Rosenthal Collection), and Alsace and Lorraine. Furthermore, numerous photo­ graphs and other audio-visual material complement the paper records of the LBI Archives. The materials are mostly in German, although French, Swedish, Czech, Italian, Hebrew, Yiddish, Russian, and English are' occasionally found in the collections. A selection of several especially interesting collections about the period of World War II and the Holocaust is listed below. This list h" not comprehensive and comprises about forty perce+lt of the rele­ vant holdings on this subject. 1.

The Leo Baeck Institute Library also contains contemporaneous Nazi, Jewish, and emigrant memoirs, diaries, and periodicals which supplement the above-listed archival holdings. Most post~ar mono­ graphic literature relevant to research about the National Socialist state and the persecution of the Jews is also available.

THE INST~TUTE FOR EUROPEAN HISTORY

The Institute for European History is an independent center for histor­ ical scholarship housed in the handsomely restored seat of the old university, the early 17th-century Domus Uni versit:.atis, facing the great Cathedral of St. Martin in Mainz. It is funded by government. industry, and foundations. Established after World War II, it has a Department for the Religious History of the West (Abteilung fur Abendlandische Religionsgeschichte) under Prof. Peter Meinhold and a Universal [i.e., Secular] History Department (Abteilung Universalgeschichte) directed by Prof. Karl Otmar Freiherr von Aretin. Equipped with its own well-staffed library with good holdings in modern and contemporary history (which can be readily augmented through interlibrary loan), the institute offers research facilities to visiting scholars and resident fellows. Its fellowships provide a monthly stipend of DM 920 or DM 1200 to qualified graduate students of any nation. Fellowships normally are granted for one year, but may be extended. Manuscripts produced at the institute may be issued in its publication series, as was the case with the Gottingen dissertation of this newsletter's editor, Hitler, Franco und Gibraltar, published in 1962 as volume 27 in the monograph series; Andreas Hillgruber's Hitler, Konig Carol und Marschall Antonescu, vol. 5, 2nd ed., 1965; Hans-Adolf Jacobsen's Fall Gelb on the planning for the campaign against France, vol. 16, 1957; ffi1d. more recently, Hans-Jurgen Schroder's Deutschland und die Vereinigten Staaten 1933-1939. Wirtschaft und Politik in der Entwicklung des deutsch-amerikanischen Gegensatzes, vol. 59, 1970 (all published by the Franz Steiner Verlag in Wiesbaden) . When I returned to the institute this past summer as a visiting scholar on a German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) grant, in order to edit an OKW War Diary supplement, I met fellowship holders from Berkeley to Bucharest, including, for example, a British doctoral student of Prof. F. H. Hinsley, Cambridge, who is working on a disser­ tation on an aspect of Scandinavian history during World War II. The atmosphere at the institute was as congenial and as stimulating as I remember it having been when I held a fellowship there almost two decades earlier. Now, as then, many of the fellowship holders live in the very 12 reasonably priced quarters in the Domus Universitatis, often preparing and sharing meals in the common kitchen and dining room. As the titles of its ninety monographs, eighty-nine VortrMge, and four Beihefte indicate, the Institute of European History is not primarily committed to contemporary history. As noted on pp. 17 & 18 of the attached News Bulletin of the International Committee, however, Professor von Aretin has been active in the attempt to establish a West German Commit­ tee on the History of the Second World War. Moreover, members of his staff, particularly his senior associate, Dr. Hans-JUrgen SchrBder, are very much interested in the twentieth century. Members of the American Committee interested in learning more about the institute, working there themselves, or nominating fully qualified students for fellowships, should write to Professor Karl Otmar Freiherr von Aretin at the Institut fUr EuropiUsche Geschichte, Alte Universi­ tiitsstrasse 19, D-6500 Mainz, West Germany. Information on the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) study-visit program that facilitated my work at the institute this past summer is available from the New York Office of the German Academic Exchange S_ervice (DAAD) , 1 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y. 10003. The DAAD also offers academic-year-long grants for graduate students working at institutions such as the Mainz institute, where, as a matter of fact, a number of DAAD-funded fellows have worked in past years.

THE LIBRARY FOR CONTEMPORARY HISTORY

Founded by the Swabian industrialist Richard Fraack during World War I as the WeltkriegsbUcherei (World War Library) and reestablished and renamed after the Second World War, the Bibliothek fUr Zeitgeschichte (BfZ or Library for Contemporary History) is now housed in Stuttgart, as an autontomous unit, in the WUrttemberg State Library (which also serves Stuttgart University). Directed by Prof. JUrgen Rohwer, Stuttgart, who is also Prases (chairman) of the West German Arbeitskreis fUr Wehrforschung, an important military research group, the BfZ specializes in the collec­ tion of materials on war, revolution, and international conflict in the twentieth century, including "unconventional literature," i. e., propaganda pamphlets, underground newspapers, and the like. The library has not only brought together one of the most valuable specialized collections of its kind in the world, but has regularly issued, since 1921 (except 1945-52), an annual bibliography of books and articles, reflecting its catalogued acquisitions, normally some eight thousand items annually. As illustrated by the entries in the bibliography below, the annual issues of the BfZ Jahresbibliographie also include detailed reports on special areas of research. More extensive treatment, where this has been called for, has been published in a separate series, t~e Schriften der Bibliothek fUr Zeitgeschichte, including, most recently, Josef Schrtlder's invaluable l264-page bibliography on Italy in the Second World War, which is listed, with other World War II-related volumes in the series, in the bibliographical section of the newsletter. The address of the BfZ, which is open weekdays and Saturday mornings, generally during the same hours as the WUrttembergische Landesbibliothek in which it is housed, is Konrad-Adenauer-Str. 8, 7000 Stuttgart 1, West Germany. BIBLIOGRAPHY

Many of the following titles have been listed on the basis of Library of Congress MARC (machine-readable cataloguing~ data printouts made available to the newsletter editor, who has com­ piled the bibliography, by Miss Janet Ziegler of the Univer­ sity Library of the University of California at Los Angeles. Her cooperation and that of the UCLA Library is sincerely appreciated.

New York: Garland Publishing, Inc., 1979. $450,00 if ordered after 1 March 1979, but $350.00 if ordered before that date. Participants in the 1977 annual business meeting of the ACHSWW in Dallas will remember the concern aroused by the announcement of the director of the FDR Library, Dr. William Emerson, that it would not be feasible for the sequel to the three-volume Harvard University Press set of papers on FDR and foreign affairs to be issued in book form (rather than microfilm) because of the prohibitive cost of printing the substantially larger volume of material necessary for adequate coverage as war approached. By facsimile duplication of the original documents as selected for publication, the cost of setting type has been circumvented by Garland Publishing, Inc., 545 Ma.dison Ave" New York, N. Y. 10022, already familiar to many ACHSWW members as publfsher of our colleague David MacIsaac's ten-volume edition of the u. S. Strategic Bombing Survey (described in the bibliography of Newsletter 16, item III.D.7, on pp. 22-24). Though expen­ sive, this valuable collection of almost 2000 documents in ten volumes averaging over 550 pages each (on acid-free paper with library bindings) is by no means prohibitive, particularly if ordered at the pre-publication discount.

In a paper presented at the Institute of European History in Mainz, the Cologne historian explains that the month of July 1941 was decisive in the course of World War II. The Soviet Union, reeling under the impact of the Wehrmacht's onslaught, was considered by many, in London and Washington no less than Berlin, to be on the point of collapse. The United States occupied Iceland. Hitler offered the Japanese an offensive alliance. The Japanese cabinet was reconstituted and Japan moved into Indo-China. Roosevelt decreed the freezing of all Japanese credits in the United States and named MacArthur U. S. Commander-in-Chief in the Far East. This course of events is familiar, but the mastery with which Hillgruber demonstrates their interaction on a global scale enables the reader to appreciate the extent to which the switches were set in July 1941, lithe zenith of World War II."

On the basis of data supplied by the publisher, this work was listed on a Library of Congress MARC printout, and carried in ACHSWW Newsletter 18 (fall 1977), under the title Victory or Death: Hitler's Pzopaganda War. The author has not been consulted regarding this title change (at the time of this newsletter's compilation, he was representing the ACHSWW at a conference at Budapest), but it is quite possible that the originally announced title was his first choice. Final decisions on books' titles, however, unlike their texts, are not always apt to be under their authors' con­ trol. This may seem surprising, but it reflects the circum­ stance that the production of a large book by an unsubsidized private publisher represents so great a corporate investment that promotional considerations almost inevitably enter into the decision on the title. This evidently was the case with the following title as well, also a major work of an established author being brought out by a prestigious publishing house.

3. Kahn, David. Hitler's Spies: German Military Intelligence in World War II. New York: Macmillan, 1978. xiii & 671 pp. $16.95. D8l0.S7 K25. Though not listed in an earlier biblio­ graphy under a previously announced title, as in the case of the volume noted immediately above, this book was reported on Library of Congress MARC printouts first as Hitler's Oracles and then as Hitler's Secret Agents. From the very beginning, however, the subtitle was Gerrran Mili tary Intelligence in World War II, and that is precisely what this book is about. 25

ACHSWW members will remember the paper by Prof. Kahn J author of another major study, The Codebreakers, at our session on Allied Strategy and Tactics at the 1976 annual meeting (as reported in Newsletter 17 the following spring and J more re­ cently, in the Revue d'Histoire de 1a 2eme guerre mondiale.) Kahn's new book, which grew out of his Oxford doctoral dissertation (under H.R. Trevor-Roper)J places the German mili­ tary intelligence organization in the broad context of military history in general J and recent German history in particular. On the basis of careful documentary research and extensive interviewing, he has elucidated the complex interaction of the various military and party intelligence agencies, focusing on a number of key episodes to illustrate not only the achievements, but also the limitations of the fratricidal intelligence commun­ ity in the Third Reich. In his stimulating conclusion, Prof. Kahn analyzes the failure of the dictator himself to make optimaL use of what intelligence there was at this disposal. Historians of the Second World War will appreciate not only the scholarly contribution represented by Kahn's work, but also its readability. It is by no means the last word on German military intelligence during the Third Reich, but it does represent a sound point of departure for laym&' and specialist alike.

I o MEETING OF rfEE I.N~EHNATION AL COM.1ViIT~'EE 0lC JiIS~:OIUCAL .sciE'ffcfE,s··--· .

The programma of the 15th International Conference on Historical Sciences scheduled to take place in Rumania from 28th August to 3rd September 1980 has been outlined by the International Historiccu·Sciences Committee (I.C.H.S.) when the Bureau and the Assembly General convened in Puer·to de 1a Cruz (Tenerife) from 25th to 30th July 1977, with Pro­ fessor Dr. Ka~l Dietrich Erdmann in the chair. Thanks to the preparatory work done by the Bureau, the debates of the Assembly General were constructive. Those present confirmed that the international bodies affiliated to the I.CoH.S. woulcl be placed on an equal footing with the national cOTillllitteesc It can be foreseen that the Assembly General which will meet during the summer of 1980 will vote for the required modific.atioD. of the Articles of Association. However it has been decided [iTrendy that the first two days of the Congress of 1980 will be dedicated to the activities of the affiliated international bodies, The next four days will be reserved for the main topics, the me-thodology problems and - during afternoons only - the chronological sections c The guide-line is to submit the main reports (the general report and the experts' reports) in the morning so that the af·ternoan will be available foI' discussions 0 However, this -2­

recommendation does not apply to the international bodies which will have every latitude in organizing their work as they see fit. The International Committee for the History of the Second World War is among the affiliated internatio­ nal bodies. (Jean Vanwelkenhuyzen)

At the invivation of the Rumanian National Committee, the Executive Committee of the International Committee for the History of the Second World War convened in Bucarest on Wednesday 24th May 1978. The PRESIDENT, Mr. Henri Michel, opens the meeting at 10.30h a.m. The following persons are present: 1~. Henri Michel, President; Messrs. Pavel Jiline, Jovan Marianovic and Arthur Funk, Vice-Presidents; Mr. Harry Paape, Treasurer. The Secre­ tary General, tir. Jean Van.welkenhuyzen, is absent. The Ru­ manian Committee for the History of the Second World War take part in the meeting: Mr. Gheorfflu Zaharia, Vice-President; Mrs. Dr. Viorica Moisuc, Secretary, nir. Constantin Nicolae, Treasurer. Mr. Donald S. Detwiler, Secretary of the American Committee for the History of the Second World War, is also present.

1. Treasurer's report The TREASURER, Mr. Paape, gives an account of the sUbscription payments as per 17th M~y 1978. Five countries have not met their obligations since 19730 Others are in arrear or pay at irreg~lar intervals. The PRESIDENT remarks that no more news has been received from the Indian Committee. As to the Indo­ nesians, their Committee have stopped their activities. The PRESIDENT appeals to the members of the Bureau to bring their personal relationships to bear in· order that the historians of these cOillltries may be induced to renew the contact with the International Committee o According to the rule, individual members pay a subscription ree. Eowever, the PRESIDENT has found that this results in difficulties to the detriment of the scientific activities

~~~~~- ~-~~-~- ~ - ~ ~---~~~~--~~~~~- -3­ of the International Committee. Under these circumstances, the question arises whether it VJOuld not be better to exemp·t until further order the individnal members from paying sub­ scriptions. Their con..n.ection with the International Committee would mean that they would participate in the scientific meetingso The President's proposal is adopted unanimously by the Executive Committee. Mr .. Paape will notify those concerned of this decision. The PRESIDENT also suggests that, in view of the efforts to be made by Rwnania in 1980, this cOlmt:r:'y should be ex:empted from paying its subscription for 1979 and 1980. This sugges­ tion is adopted unanimously by the Executive Committee .. Spea­ king for the Rumanian, General L'Jaharia expresses his thanks ..

The Executive Committee also adopts the proposal made by Mr. MICHEL to send, in the autumn of this year, Messrs .. Zaharia and Roulet to Amsterdam in order to carry out the statutory aUditing of the Treasurer's account.

2. New membershi~

The PRESIDD~T announces that three applications for member­ ship have been received: one individual application: 1~. Baptiste, of the Island of Trinidad (The University of the West Indies); an application of Tunisia, r3ceived through the intermediary of two bodies, the National Tunisian Com­ mittee for the History of the Second World War and the Historical Service of the Army, and of a number of Univer­ sity Professors; another application has been made by Cuba through the Historical Service of the Army .. The Executive Committee unanimously decides in favour of these three new memberships. The PRESIDENT then mentions the outlook for the Latin American countries becoming members. This possibility is taking shape thanks to the effort of the Historical Committee of the Insti­ ·~uto Panamericano de Geografia e Historia of Caracas. These countries are likely to present their applications at the colloquium to take place in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil from 17th to 21st July 1978. The attention of those present then turns to Spain. Specifi­ cally, mr. FUNK asks whether the history of the civil war is within the terms of reference of the International Committee. Mr. MICHEL replies that the period with which ,the International Committee is concerned covers the years 1933 to 1939 which ipso facto includes the Spanish civil war o He expresses the opinion that a colloquium on this SUbject would be of great interest .. -LJ·­

As regards the matter of possible new membershipst the PRESI­ DENT voices his regret that China does not yet participate in the activities of the International Committee. He stresses the important role plaid by this country against Japanese aggression. General JILINE wishes to know the International Committee's view with regard to initiatives relating to the history of the Second World War organized at regional level with inter­ national participation. The PRESIDENT points out that the International Committee has no monopoly at all o Therefore, he welcomes local initiatives that will promote understanding of the various aspects of the history of the Second World War. Depending on the amount of information supplied to the Inter­ national Committee by the organizers of the programme on the contents of the colloquia e..no. the requests for help, he will be able to keep the specialists informed on the debates either by means of the Bulletin or by the Revue d'Histoire de la Deuxieme Guerre Mondiale.

3. Programmes of the colloguia until 1980 The PRESIDENT explains that the International Committee should consider the following choice of subjects for the colloquia: - impo7·tant topics and topics of a general nature that regard all countries when the colloquia are organized within the framework and on the occasion. of world congresses (Moscow in 1970, San Francisco in 1975. Bucarest in 1980); - tqpics of regional interest in trying to get a better un­ derstanding of specific moments, typical phenomena of spe­ cific geographical zones, of specific countries or groups of countries during the Second World War; - topics of national interest for colloquia concerning the position, action, and situation of a specific country during the war. Mr. MICHEL stresses that also in this case, the Bulletin divulges the programma of colloquia. In addition, he re­ commends that, when these colloquia of regional or local interest are held, contributions be included to promote comparative history. The PRESIDENT sums up the international colloquia to be held from MuY 1978 to October 1980: - Sofia, 27th and 28th May 1978: The Resistance in the coun­ tries of the Tripartite Pact, colloquium organized by the -5­

BulgariLill Committee for the History of the Second World War; - Helsinlti, 2nd to 6th Juno 1978: Tlle q:r~a"t .E.0]Yers and the Nor

(1) Stop press: Since then, the Turkish Committee has proposed to organize the colloqtuum in 1981. -6­

The Executive Committee retains the proposal in an amended form to be specified later. The meeting is adjourned at 12.30h.

The PRESIDENT, Mr. Henri Michel, re-opens the meeting at 15.00h. '.rho meeting is attendecl by the same persons as during the morning meeting.

4. Col~£9.~iurn in Bucarest in 1980 The PRESIDENT requests the Executive Committee to debate the matter of the orgal1ization of the Bucarest colloquium on the topic The J2,ro.p-'arelJ.d.a durins "tq~ .,Second World W~,. which will be held within the frDJJlework and during the five­ yearly Congress of Historical Sciences. General ZAHARIA points out that the 15th International Con­ gress of Historical Scienc8B will be held in Bucarest from 28th August to 3rd September 1980. Rumania will take care of the physical orgffilization of the congress. All the neces­ sary information will be givon in good time, specificc:.lly as regards entry fees and accommodation arrangements. The Ru­ maniar.. National Committee for the orGanization of the con­ gress will include representatives of the Rwnanian COIDJnittee for the History of the Second World War. The latter Committee will organize the colloquirun under the aegis of the Internatio­ nal Conuuititee for the History of the Second World War. The ensuing debate mllices it clear that the Executive Committee of the International Committee for the History of the Second World War will have two working meetings, one before and one after the colloquium. As regards the Committee, it will have its statutory five-yearly assembly during the Bucarest Congress~ The work of the colloquium will take a day and a half. The working languages are Rumanian, French, English, andRussi an. Simultaneous interpretation will be provided. The colloquium will be opened by a Rumania.11. autilOrity. Its sittings will be presided over by the President or by members of the Executive Committee. The nrunes nnd Christian names of the rapporteurs, stating their titles, qualifications and functions, and the titles of the reports should be in Bucarest by 31st December 1978. Written in one of the official languages, the reports must -7­ be submitted in Bucarest in fou:r copies by 31st May 1979 at 1 the latest &) 1J. hey should be sen:1:; to the following add.l'ess: Institutul de Studii Istorice si Social-politico, Comi~,i(l Rumuna pentru Istoria Celui de al Doilea Razboi T,·londial 79000 BUCAHE3T I, Rou.manie ~ 2_1~, rue Ministcrului li'ollowing a sugge siJj on made by General JILINE, the EXGcutivc COJJJltli ttoe feels tlw.t the tusk of tho Hmuonian ComIlli ttee would be relieved if the reports were translated into the official languages before being sent to Bucarest.

Before the col1oquium~ the HumaniEl.n Committee will publish a volume containing the reports mId co-r~ports in the lo..nguages in which they have been sent to Bucarest. The Vlork of the colloqu.ium will be published under the n8me "Proceedings of the Historical Congress, Buc arest, 1980".

The RUJnrmi all Conunittee for the History' of the Second World will prepare an estimate of cost of the colloquium. The Executive Comillittee of the Internationa.l Committee will then establish the amount of its contribution. Following this, scientific prl)olems are C'.iscussed. The PHESIDENT again mentions the topic of the colloquium: liThe propaganda during the Second 'Norld Vlar - methods, aim, re­ suIts If. He stresses the complexity of the sUbj oct and out-­ lines a few aspects that should not be neglected in conduc­ ting its stUdy, which must be as complete as possible. It goes without saying that the VG.l'ious camns must be taken ...... - .

Also, the institu~i2p~ for the organization and diffusion of propaganda lIlUSt be studied. Another import81lt aspect is concerned witIl the ~cJ:mi(llies.. An important novelty has been the lien masse II use of broadcasting. The periodical presn or pamphlets have also been usod, in addition to cinema films, photography, posters., not to mention the graffiti and mass manifestations. The ob1i.QcE of propaganda varies with the countries, theatres of operations, Bncl the soci al categories which are its target. It modifies itself with the progress of the war, the interests involved, cmd the internal or extornal factors • .TI'inally, it is important that an effort should be made. to meaBu:re the §ffi.cicn:.~ of this propaganda., although stu

General JILINE presents an extensive expose 011 the propa­ ganda made in the Soviet Union agai.nst the Hitler war.

BELGILHH. The Centre for Research and Historical StUdy of the Second World War made a large contribution to the in­ ternational historical colloquium lIThe Resistance Movement ll during the Second World Vlar , organized at the f1Domaine du Rond-Chene II by the General DirectioD. of the Organization of Studies of the Ministry of Education on 28th and 29th Novem­ ber 1977. Intended for teachers of history of secondary schools, it was directed by 1~. Rene van Santbergen, Inspector. His re­ port was published in issue 54 of CLIO, journal of the Peda­ gogical Centre of History. In addition, a research officer of the Centre for Research and H:i,.storical StUdy of the Second World Vlar, Mr. Jean Dujardin, compiled an important pedago­ gical file also for teachers of history of secondary educa­ tion, following another initiative of the Ministry of Educa­ tion. It is called 'IResistance and Repression fl and consists of two volumes. The first includes 811 introduction, various extracts of books and a bibliographical orientation. The second volume contains thirty full-page illustrations. The Centre itself has published a bibliography 1970-1975 (Wim -11­

Meyers), a repertory of photographs of Belgium during the occupation (Frans Selleslagh) and various stock-lists (W. Steenhout, M. van de Steen, J. Gotovitch). The.

FR1~CE. The French Committee for the History of the Second World Wnr has held its meetings of departmentoj. correspondents regularly in the autUlnn cmd in the spring of each year: in 1976: 2 meetings in 1)ari3, l1· in the country (Laval, Dijon, Agen, Nimes); in 1977: 2 meetings in Paris, 4 in the country (Mi3..COn, Angoulerne, I?odez, ~rD.rbes); rmd finally in 1978: 1 meeting in Draguignan, and 1 in Paris. Also, there have been plenffi~y annual sittings of its Assembly in Paris in April 1977 and in April 1978. Two neN working parties have recently been formed, or are now being formed: 1) in 1976 the Commission for the History of the French Empire, which since its inception has convened six times; a paper was read by Mr. Rene Pleven, former Cabinet Minister, former member of tho CoF.L.N o , Algiers, on the African Con­ ference of Brazzaville (February 1944), which he chaired; in 1977, Mr o Mahfod Kaddache, Professor in the University of Algiers, lectured upon the relations between comm.unists and Algerian nationalists from 1936 to 1945; finally, in 1978, the Commission heard a lecture by Mr. I(raiem (Tuni­ sia) on the national Tunisian movement during the Second World War the role plaid by the Neo-Destour). 2) The Committee for ReliGious Histor;y:, under the presidency of Mr. Jean-Marie Mayeur, Professor in the University of Paris-XII, that will start their work at the beginning of the academic year in the autumn of 1978, their subject being religious life - specifically in France - bet"veen 1939 and 19 l }5o

Good progress is mad.e w.-U.ih the surveys conducted by the corr~;Gpond(mts of the Historical Committee" We specially would like to mention the eXDnlination concerning the "re_ pres::;ion of F'.1l1.ti-natiol1aJ. practices during the Liberation 11 which has been completed in 75% of the departments of Fr&~ce. This ~::rtudy disproves what has been claimed by Robert Aron in his book "Histoire de 1 t opuration II (History of the purge)). Another survey relating to lIThe collub,oration movement in the two zones II is also \'1011 under way: completed in 20 depart­ ments, it makes good progress in 54% of the others. An inquiry into the labour situation is 1L.'1der way in 57 departments and has been completed in 12. Two recent studies on business compa~ies a~d demographic problems are being carried out in 17 and 1l~ departments respectively. The chro­ nology of the Resistance is virtually completed in all depart­ ments.

French-German collog~i~ From 10th to 12th March 1977, the first; session of a French­ Gennan colloquium was held in Paris in the Pa1ais du Luxem­ boureo The discussion theme was IIFrance arid Germany from 1932 11 to March 1936 • The importance of this colloquium - the first encounter between French and German historians for the purpose of studying this theme - was stressed by the reception offered to a few participants by the President of the French Republic, and ;mother given to all those who attended the colloquium by the President of the French Senate. Following the practice of all the bi-national colloquia or­ ganized by the Committoe for the History of the Second World War, teams of two members, one German, one French, were formed to study a subject jointly. There were -three such themes: the image of the other; economy and rearmament; general politics. Mr. Henri Michel has Slumn.ed up the conclusions of the collo­ quium. There will be [mother meeting in Bonn, Western Ger­ i I

GREAT-BRITAIN. Under the pa1jronage of the British Ac ade1Tl,,-y:, the British COlTuni ttee for the History· of the Second WorId War organized a colloquil.Ull at the ID.12.~I'i. ~ar M~~ in Lond.on from 24th to 2'(th October 1'9'7'7, the subject being "The Allied exile gov8:J:'nments in London during the Second ll World Vlar • The working principle was to present on each government a report made by an expert from the COlliltry con­ cerned and 8I!other prepared by a British specialist, viz.: for Norway, Dr. Olav Riste and Professor Peter Lud.low; for the NetherlEUlds, Dr. J.1Quis de Jong and Mr. Philip Bell; for Belgium, Professor Jacques Willequet; Bnd Professor Geoffrey War~er; for Luxemburg, Professor Emile Haag; for Poland, Commander B.

NETHERGll1iDS. Since its inception in 19l~5, the Netherlands S·tate Institute for War Documentation in Amsterdam has al­ ways been regarded as a temporary establishment. In 1976, the then Secretary of State for Education and Science set up a working party to investigate whether the work assigned to the Insti~ute was to be continued or stopped; they re­ commanded that the Institute be dissolved in 1985. Disregarding the working party's recom.m.endations, the Minist'er of Education and Science has now decided that the Institute will continue to exist also after 1985. The Cabinet Minister expressed the opinion that for the generations now living it is necessary to have at their disposal a fully equipped and well st£ufed documentation centre on the Second World War. The Minister feels that the State Institute for War Documen­ tation, ·working the way it is, fully justifies its existence" In November 1977, Dr. L. de Jone; published a collection of treatises and lectures entitled. IITu.ssentijds" Historische Studies." (Interim. HiEltorical Studies It). Inter alia, this volume contains a noto dating from 1949 on the desirability [lnd preparatiQn of a history of the Ne'therlands during the Second World War with clue consideration to the possibility of having several authors co-operating on this project. This dovetails with Dr. de Jong's first; quarterly report after he

had been commissioned, in 1955, as sole author,; to pUblish a mu.lti-volume work under the title 1I;1'he Kingdom of the Netherlrmds du.ring the Second World War II. The volume also contains three lectures held before the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences, vizo about Queen Wilh.elmina in Lon­ don, the secr~t Dut.?h cor~~acts during the Ilneutralit;y­ per~odII from bcptemtJcr 1Cjj9 to Ma;y 19/+0, and a memorlal lecture on the histo.r·i[ill, .Jacqll.eS Presser, author of such works as tho great historJr of the prosocution of the Jews in the Netherlands" Tvm scrupulously conducted studies refute allc~a~ions made by Rimmler's luassagist, Felix Kersten~ W1cl by Richnrd Gerken, an ~'J\hwep..rll officer. In his memoir-f], Kersten had given the impression that thanks to him a plcm for the deportation of a large pe.rt of the Nether181lds population did not materialize; Gerken had clai-· med that the "Abweb.r" had had a connection with a fJtraitor ll in the Netherlands General Heo.dquartiers, in which allegations the name of the mall later to become the Head of the Nether­ lands General Staff was mentioned c In April 1978, volume 8 of the afore-mentioned historical work of Dr o de Jong was pUblished under the title "Prisoners and deportees", also in two volumes comprising more than 1.000 pages altoe;ether. Following a detailed introduction on the set-up and organization of the German system of concentration camps, a description is given of the fate of Dutch pri.soners of war, hostages, political prisoners and Jews, making fre­ quent use of personal memories 0 A separate chapter deals \vith the assistance to prisoners in the Netherlands and Germany and to deported Jews o In 1976 and 1977, the first two vol\uaes were published in the series "DoCUIuentcm betref ~en.sle de-:!?ui ten~8p.g.se politi·el£ van NederlB!.ld 1'219-19.1211 (DoCUIl1ents relating to the forelgn po'licy of tl1<:: hetherlcUlds 1919-1945), a publication drawing on sources edited by Professor A.F.

The first volume published comprises the period 10th May to 31st October 19Lj..O, the second covers the time from 1st November 1940 till 31st May 1941. The printed documents in these volumes relate to the activities of the Dutch government during the first phase of their ,?xile in London, the relati­ ons with the British government and with the as yet unoccu­ pied Netherlonds East Indies, the internment in that area of German nationals, and tho German countermeasures in occupied HollEmd o Many dOCUIDGnts are re-printed on the discussion about a possible re-location of the seat of the Netherlands government to the Indios, staff conferences between the Nether­ lands and BritiSh militalJT in Singapore and the negotiations with a Jap[UleSe trade mi~H:Jion in Batavia.

POLAND. From 6th to 9th September 1977, the Palais Staszic at V/arsaw was the venue for Bll international colloquium "Wojna a kultura - War and. cultu..re" organ.ized by the Polish Committee for the History of the Second World War. The collo­ quium was attended by GO foreign his'Gorians from 20 different countries ..

On the first day, Tuesdoy 6th September, after the colloquium had been opened, wit~l Dr. 8tanislav Lorentz in the chair, and the official speeches had been held, Dr. Gzeslav Madajczyk presented his general report on cultl"l.re under conditions of the "total war I! .. The theme for the afternoon was the Thirc Reich, its allies and cultureo The subject was introduced by Dr. Hubert Orlowskis The next da"y, Wednesdoy ?th September, was concerned with culture in the occupied countries. Its introduction. was made by Dr o AleksBllder Gieysztoro The non-occupied allied countries and culture was the subjoct of the work done on Thursday 8th.. Dr .. Marian Drozdowski delivered the initial report. All these subjects resulted in a grea.t deal of communication. Dr. Czes­ lav Madajczyk returned to the floor to deliver the final speech, and Dr. Stefan Kienicvlicz closed this colloquium, the theme of which was both comprehensive rllld new. In addition, there is not only doubt that no place bette::.:' than Warsaw could be found to broach this sUbject. This was underligned by Mr. He:lri Michel in a message he addressed to the organizers: "Rarely has the theme of a discussion been more compatible with the sitting in which the discussion took place. True, all the nations tempora~ rily occupied by Nazi-Germany felt that formidable dangers were coming over them, to the point of complete annihilation. How­ ever, among these nations Poland was threatened most of all; not only materially, in her national existence, the life of her children, but also, and above all, in her culture. Nowhere did the Nazis undertake to kill the soul of a people so syste­ matically. Their attempts were unsuccessful." (Jean Vanwelkenhuyzen) On 17th December 1977, Dr o Czeslaw Madajczyk, President of the Polish Cooonittee for the History of the Second World War rold Director of the Historical Institute of the Polish Aca­ demy of Sciences, met Dro Ytsh~{ Arad, Director of tbe Yad Vashom Institute, cmd MI'o Svri Simer, Director of the Exter­ mination and HesistcUlcc J\lUSGum in J oru.salem o Their discussions concerned problems of common interest in doing research work on the Becond World Wn.r, [ind scientific contacts within the framcrJOl'k of the International Committee for the History of the Second World War. -17­
