  • Camp Entertainment and British Prisoners-Of-War in German Captivity, 1939-1945
    58 Bob Moore and Barbara Hately University of Sheffield, UK Captive Audience: Camp Entertainment and British Prisoners-of-War in German Captivity, 1939-1945 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ During the World War 2 nearly 200,000 British prisoners of war were held inside the Third Reich. Most of the published narratives and histories focus on their road to captivity and attempts at escape but have often underplayed the importance of activities inside the POW camps, organised by the men themselves to alleviate the drudgery and boredom of everyday life. These included education and sports, but perhaps the most prominent aspect of this was the production of theatrical and musical entertainments—often in the most inhospitable circumstances. This study looks at the extent of such activities and their importance in day-to-day existence, both for officers and ordinary servicemen as they battled with the realities of long- term incarceration. Bob Moore is Professor of Twentieth Century European History at the University of Sheffield. He has published extensively on the history of Western Europe in the mid-twentieth century and has also edited a number of collections, including Resistance in Western Europe (2000). His latest monograph, Survivors: Jewish Self-Help and Rescue in Nazi-Occupied Western Europe was published by Oxford in 2010. Barbara Hately is Honorary Research Fellow in the History Department at the University of Sheffield. She has published a number of articles on prisoners of war and was co-editor of Prisoners of War, Prisoners of Peace, (with Bob Moore, 2005). Her monograph, War and Welfare: British prisoner-of-war families, 1939-1945, was published by Manchester University Press in 2009.

  • Letters in a Shoe Box
    LETTERS IN A SHOE BOX 1940-1945 Naomi Schamroth Rapeport 2017 1 LETTERS IN A SHOE BOX 1940-1945 Foreword Julian Meyer was born in Johannesburg on the 18th August 1918. He was schooled at the King Edward VII School for Boys. He went on to study law at the University of the Witwatersrand. He interrupted his studies when he volunteered to join the Union Defence Force (U.D.F.) at the beginning of the Second World War (WWII). He was assigned to the Transvaal Scottish Second Battalion. During the five years of the War he wrote numerous letters to his family in Johannesburg. These letters were kept by his mother, Fanny Meyer. They were subsequently given to Julian. They were kept in a shoebox in his garage at the family home in Pietersburg. Following Julian’s death on the 6th September 1993, the letters were taken for safe keeping by his second son, Ralph. It was Ralph’s intention to compile a document of his father’s experiences. Unfortunately, this never happened. The letters were subsequently scanned by the family as PDF documents. In 2015 I was given copies of these documents. The letters are beautifully written and give the reader an interesting overview of the experiences of a soldier and prisoner of war (POW).

  • Spring Update: Indirect Taxes and VAT
    Spring update: Indirect taxes and VAT John Brooks (LV=) has produced the following update on VAT and indirect taxes for the ILAG Tax Practitioner Group and ILAG members. Financial Transactions Tax France and Austria have joined forces to urge the 11 Member States towards agreement on the principles of a financial transactions tax. In an open letter, the Finance ministers of France and Austria urged agreement on low rate broad based tax, including derivatives. The letter called for support from the EU institutions to provide more technical support in developing the proposals. The open letter was issued prior to a meeting of the Economic and Financial Affairs Committee on 27 January. 10 participating members, excluding Greece, subsequently released a joint statement reaffirming their commitment to implementing the FTT on 1 January 2016. Detailed proposals have still not been agreed but there is an indication that the tax should be at a lower rate and on a broader base than the original 2013 proposals, as suggested by France and Austria. The statement acknowledges the danger of relocation of the finance sector posed by the FTT. The Austrian finance minister suggested a phased implementation over 2016- 17, starting with a tax on equities and some derivatives with others following in a second phase. 1 January 2016 may be a tight deadline to meet given that concrete proposals have not yet been put forward let alone agreed. However, the recent developments suggest that there is a willingness to take proposals forward. Announcements of further progress will be made in future ECOFIN meetings. VAT grouping rules following Skandia: Revenue and Customs Brief 2/15 HMRC has published a business brief explaining how its interpretation of VAT grouping rules is to change consequent to the decision of the CJEU in the Skandia case.
