Cambridge University Press Antifascist Humanism and the Politics of Cultural
Book SynopsisA study of German traditions of cultural renewal from their origins in antifascist activism in German exile communities in Europe and Latin America during World War II to their failure during the emerging Cold War in occupied Germany and the early German Democratic Republic.Trade Review'Agocs has written a timely overview of the original 'antifa' cultural movements of the 1930s and 1940s in Europe and the Americas. Alarmed by the rise of Nazism and Italian Fascism, groups and intellectuals ranging from communists to liberals organized as exiles to counter the threat of fascism by promoting 'cultural humanism', based on ideas of the freedom of thought and religion and progressive Enlightenment views. Writers, artists, and intellectuals ranging from Thomas Mann to German communists who had fled to Mexico City published broadsides; organized under the sponsorship of the German Communist Party, the Free Germany movement, and through a variety of activities; and hoped to convey another, better Germany than the country that existed under the Third Reich. … Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.' M. Deshmukh, Choice'… Andreas Agocs has written an empirically focused, analytically wide-ranging study of the Cultural League for the Democratic Renewal of Germany (Kulturbund), a self-consciously antifascist organization that surfaced amid the ruins of Nazism in 1945.'

The University of Chicago Press The Hunt for Nazi Spies Fighting Espionage in
Book SynopsisFrom 1940 to 1942, French arrested many spies working for Germans and executed them despite the Vichy government's declared collaboration with the Third Reich. This book chronicles the Vichy regime's attempts to maintain sovereignty while supporting its Nazi occupiers. It also illuminates the complex agendas that characterized the collaboration.Trade Review"The pungent details give Kitson's book a particular force: the incidents of head-shearing, the intimations of torture, the leakages back to the German authorities of the places where the spies were held, the contempt of the Vichy secret services for British agents.... All these elements make an English edition of the book a necessity." - Rod Kedward, Times Literary Supplement, on the French edition "Simon Kitson has drawn from intensive study of French archives the first full picture of Vichy's counterintelligence activities. We can now see more clearly how Vichy France tried (ultimately unsuccessfully) to collaborate with Nazi Germany as a sovereign and neutral state, master of its own territory and administration." - Robert O. Paxton, author of Vichy France: Old Guard and New Order"

Texas A & M University Press Landmark Speeches of National Socialism
Book SynopsisThe power which has always started the greatest religious and political avalanches in history rolling has from time immemorial been the magic power of the spoken word, and that alone.""Adolf Hitler, Mein KampfAs historians have long noted, public oratory has seldom been as pivotal in generating and sustaining the vitality of a movement as it was during the rise and rule of the National Socialist Party, from 1919 to 1945. Led by the charismatic and indefatigable Hitler,National Socialists conducted one of the most powerful rhetorical campaigns ever recorded. Indeed, the mass addresses, which were broadcast live on radio, taped for re-broadcast, and in many cases filmed for play on theater newsreels throughout the Third Reich, constituted one of the most thorough exploitations of media in history. Because such evil lay at the heart of the National Socialist movement, its overwhelming rhetoric has often been negatively characterized as propaganda. As Randall Bytwerk points out, however, the ""propaganda"" label was anything but negative in the minds of the leaders of the National Socialist movement. In their view, the clear, simplistic, and even one-sided presentation of information was necessary to mobilize effectively all elements of the German population into the National Socialist program. Gathered here are thirteen key speeches of this historically significant movement, including Hitler's announcement of the party's reestablishment in 1925 following the unsuccessful Beer Hall Putsch, four addresses by Joseph Goebbels, the 1938 Kristallnacht speech by Julius Streicher, and four speeches drafted as models for party leaders' use on various public occasions. The volume concludes with Adolf Hitler's final public address on January 30, 1945, three months before his suicide. Several of these works are presented for the first time in English translation. Bytwerk provides a brief introduction to each speech and allows the reader to trace the development and downfall of the Nazi party.Landmark Speeches of National Socialism is an important volume for students of rhetoric, World War II, Nazi Germany, and the Holocaust.

Casemate Publishers Day Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe 1939-42
Book SynopsisMilitary and aviation history enthusiasts have always been interested in the fighter pilots of Hitler's Luftwaffe. Some of their stories are extraordinary. Fighting from the Arctic Circle to the North African deserts, from the Caucasus in the East to Normandy in the West, the German fighter pilot flew and fought until he was shot down, "flown out," wounded or killed in action. A handful survived from "first to last."This first volume of Day Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe traces the story of the Luftwaffe's day fighter arm (der Tagjagd) from its inception to 1942. Organized campaign by campaign, this chronological account interweaves brief biographical details, newly translated personal accounts and key moments in the careers of a host of notable and lesser known Luftwaffe aces. Around 500 Luftwaffe fighter pilots were awarded the Knight's Cross, accumulating huge numbers of missions flown. A similar number achieved more than 40 victories - more than the two leading USAF and RAF fighter pilots.Trade ReviewSome fascinating material that I am sure will interest WW2 aviation historians along with modellers who will find plenty of references and photos which will tempt them into a new model or two. * Military Model Scene *The narrative is enhanced by the inclusion of high-quality images depicting the airmen themselves and their machines - in may cases, these offer superb views of unit-specific embelms, personal decorations and 'kill' markings. * Airfix Model World *

University of Massachusetts Press Haunted by Hitler: Liberals, the Left, and the
Book SynopsisAlthough fascism is typically associated with Europe, the threat of fascism in the United States haunted the imaginations of activists, writers, and artists, spurring them to create a rich, elaborate body of cultural and political work. Traversing the Popular Front of the 1930s, the struggle against McCarthyism in the 1950s, the Black Power movement of the 1960s, and the AIDS activism of the 1980s, Haunted by Hitler highlights the value of “antifascist” cultural politics, showing how it helped to frame the national discourse.Christopher Vials examines the ways in which anxieties about fascism in the United States have been expressed in the public sphere, through American television shows, Off-Broadway theater, party newspaper, bestselling works of history, journalism, popular sociology, political theory, and other media. He argues that twentieth-century liberals and leftists were more deeply unsettled by the problem of fascism than those at the center or the right and that they tirelessly and often successfully worked to counter America’s fascist equivalents.

Trine Day Jackals: The Stench of Fascism
Book SynopsisAn in-depth look into contemporary fascist and far-right extremist activity Conservatives who obsess about the threat of Muslim extremism are usually mute as regards the murderous chaos instigated by far-right extremists. In Jackals: The Stench of Fascism, journalist and author Alex Constantine explores today’s fascism and its historical roots. He cites numerous examples of current fascist terrorism such as Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh; Kevin William Hardham, the 36-year-old Army field artillery veteran who planted a bomb along the Martin Luther King Day unity parade route in Spokane, Washington in 2011; Pittsburgh cop killer and white supremacist Richard Paplowski; neo-Nazi Keith Luke of Brockton, Massachusetts, arrested after shooting and killing three immigrants from Cape Verde; and antigovernment militiaman Joshua Cartwright, who murdered a pair of sheriff's deputies in Okaloosa County, Florida in 2009; as well as countless others.

Baraka Books Mussolini Also Did a Lot of Good: The Spread of
Book SynopsisA 2019 Italian BestsellerSurgically, but with wit, Francesco Filippi demolishes each and every myth that has taken root about Mussolini and fascism in an uplifting handbook for political and intellectual self-defense. No stones are left unturned, including the colonial devastation of Libya and Ethiopia.Legend would have it that Mussolini put roofs over Italians’ heads, developed the economy, had trains running on time, stood up for justice and against the mafia, protected the Jews from Nazi Germany, was a feminist, and put Italy on the map as a respected power. The founder of fascism’s only mistake was allying with Hitler.Though this is entirely false, it didn’t prevent Antonio Tahani, president of the European Union, from declaring in 2019 that “if we must be honest, he [Mussolini] did positive things to realize infrastructures … he reclaimed many parts of our Italy.” In fact, only 6 percent of the improvements referred to were done during the 21 years of fascist rule.Though written first for Italians, this book is relevant and timely for North Americans. Through a study of Mussolini and Italy, Filippi shows how such legends are built on webs of lie, manipulation of History, and constant uncontested repetition, explaining at the same time why so many people fall victim to the propaganda.Trade Review“There is a widespread myth, in Italy but not only there, that Benito Mussolini’s regime was not all bad. This myth is backed up by series of oft-repeated claims about the supposed achievements of Italian fascism, and its allegedly mild nature. Francesco Filippi’s direct and trenchant book, a best-seller in Italy, counters these myths with facts, providing a useful and entertaining primer into how to understand the world’s first fascist government and its legacy.”- John Foot, Professor of Modern Italian History, University of Bristol.;“an antidote to all the nonsense still circulating about fascism…. Filippi is almost surgical in the way he reestablishes the context.”- La Reppublica Book of the Month.;“In the existing climate, Francesco Filippi’s scalpel is of utmost importance”- Le Monde;“Francesco Filippi’s book is very timely and relevant … a lesson on a past that simply doesn’t go away.”- Corrierre Della Sera.

Fonthill Media Ltd Munich Playground: The Nazi Leadership at Rest
Book SynopsisTwenty-six-year-old American Ernest Pope arrived in Munich as a Reuters correspondent in in 1936. From then until he left in the summer of 1940 he saw first-hand the wild excesses of the Nazis. He wrote mainly for British newspapers-notably the Daily Express-but after September 1939 he could only supply material to the USA as lines to Britain were closed. As events hotted up he left for home just two months prior to America's entry to the war. Back in the safety of the United States he spent six months writing down what he had seen and who he had met. With wicked wit and superb style he ridicules the Nazis, showing them up for what they truly were-boorish and evil thugs. His narrative reads like a sensational novel, but for the poor inhabitants of Germany the unbelievable was in fact everyday life. Pope knew, saw or interviewed all the top Nazis and dozens of lower-level officials, including some of Hitler's security men. Fluent in Bavarian German dialect, Pope made many friends in Munich with citizens and officials alike. He heard jokes from Munichers that could get them thrown in a concentration camp and he poked fun at Nazis whenever he dared. Munich Playground is a 'must read' for anyone who wishes to understand what Hitler's Third Reich was really like.Table of ContentsPublisher's Note to the 2015 Edition, Introduction to the 2015 Edition ,Foreword, 1 Der Fuhrer at Play, 2 My Friends the Gestapo, 3 Portrait of a Nazi Grafter, 4 Hitler Dabbles in Art, 5 The One-Legged Boss of Bavaria, 6 Catholicism in the Nazi Capital, 7 Lunch with Julius Streicher, 8 Non-Aryans, 9 The Brown-Shirt Press, 10 Tea for Two, 11 Death Takes a Holiday, 12 Brass Hats in Bavaria, 13 Fraulein give me London, 14 Nazi Night Life, 15 Nazi Morals, 16 Hitler Breaks his Toys, Conclusion

Fonthill Media Ltd Wandering Princess: Princess Helene of France,
Book SynopsisHelene was a strong-willed princess, raised in France but closely connected with the court of Queen Victoria. After the premature end to a romance with Victoria's grandson, she married into the royal family of Italy. However, Helene began extended adventuresome trips into Africa where she became a big-game hunter, explorer and travel writer, escaping from an unhappy marriage and the boredom of court life. Her travels took her around the world, but her sense of royal duty brought her back to nurse aboard a hospital ship in Libyan waters, then to an important role as head of the Italian Red Cross nurses during the First World War while her husband headed Italy's Third Army, and her two sons served in the artillery and the navy. Afterwards, her strong Italian nationalism made her an ally to Gabriele d'Annunzio and Benito Mussolini, but the disastrous Second World War saw her grandchildren interned in Austria and her older son die as a British prisoner-of-war while she continued her charitable work in Naples. When the country voted to become a republic in 1946, Helene was the only member of the royal family allowed to remain in Italy with her second 'secret' husband.

Fonthill Media Ltd Heldentod: The Nazi Culture of Death
Book SynopsisHeldentod - The Nazi Culture of Death graphically focuses on the Third Reich's conception and promotion of the "Hero's Death" as it fostered and then fuelled a cataclysm of apocalyptic carnage and destruction. This underlying driving force, ultimately self-destructive, is shown infusing both State sponsored propaganda and echoed by the personal battlefield images captured by its soldiers' personal cameras. In so doing it confronts the matter of subject vs. observer and their intimate connection. The original, often one-of-a-kind and never before seen photos also serve as a searing documentation of man's inhumanity to man and a stark warning to future generations.

Verso Books Europe's Fault Lines: Racism and the Rise of the
Book SynopsisIt is clear that the right is on the rise, but after Brexit, the election of Donald Trump and the spike in popularity of extreme-right parties across Europe, the question on everyone's minds is: how did this happen?An expansive investigation of the ways in which a newly-configured right interconnects with anti-democratic and illiberal forces at the level of the state, Europe's Fault Lines provides much-needed answers, revealing some uncomfortable truths.What appear to be "blind spots" about far-right extremism on the part of the state, are shown to constitute collusion-as police, intelligence agencies and the military embark on practices of covert policing that bring them into direct or indirect contact with the far right, in ways that bring to mind the darkest days of Europe's authoritarian past.Old racisms may be structured deep in European thought, but they have been revitalized and spun in new ways: the war on terror, the cultural revolution from the right, and the migration-linked demonization of the destitute "scrounger." Drawing on her work for the Institute of Race Relations over thirty years, Liz Fekete exposes the fundamental fault lines of racism and authoritarianism in contemporary Europe.Trade ReviewFor the twenty-five years I have known Liz Fekete she has been a tireless anti-racist and anti-fascist fighter, as well as a people's intellectual and a political inspiration. Fekete brings that cumulative experience, insight and commitment to her brilliant new book, Europe's Fault Lines, which maps the shifting terrain of racism and right wing populism in Europe, as well as continued forms of resistance. This book not only paints a gut-wrenching portrait of the vulgarity and violence of Neoliberalism, but through her clarity of analysis, Fekete gives us sustenance for the struggles that lay ahead. -- Barbara Ransby, author of Eslanda: The Large and Unconventional Life of Mrs Paul RobesonRacism, for Liz Fekete, is the breeding ground of fascism, and her struggle to combat both-on the ground and in her writings-has earned her the reputation of being an intrepid organiser, an inspirational speaker and an organic intellectual. -- A. Sivanandan, Director Emiritus of the Institute of Race RelationsFor twenty-five years, Fekete relentlessly monitored Europe's far right while the continent's leaders preferred to look away. With right-wing extremism finally recognised by the mainstream as a fundamental threat to Europe's future, her indictment of those who enabled, amplified, and aided the rise of the hard right is an essential contribution to the defense of democratic values. -- Arun Kundnani, author of The Muslims are ComingIn Europe's Fault Lines, Liz Fekete has not only written an excellent study of how racism is once again being normalised but how, in turn, it is acting as cloak under which fascism is resurgent. -- Nicolas Lalaguna * Morning Star *A relatively brief book, but it makes important points that are often left out of the discussion. -- Daniel Trilling * Prospect *[Europe's Fault Lines] provokes a range of emotional responses, from rage to helplessness, but closes leaving the reader equipped with an intellectual arsenal to begin resisting fascism in all its guises. * Peace News *Fekete provides an accessible and stimulating discussion on the roles of the state, intellectuals, the media, and uneven development in the triumph of the right in our age of crisis and rage ... Europe's Fault Lines is a wealth of resource on one of the most disturbing aspects of our age of rage. * The Bullet *A perspicacious enquiry into the 'fomenting of a reactionary cultural revolution' over the last few decades ... provid[ing] the reader with a clear picture of the state of political play in Europe. * Counterfire *

Classical Press of Wales Sparta's German Children: The Ideal of Ancient
Book SynopsisThe use by the Nazi regime of idealised images of ancient Sparta is increasingly recognised as an important element of the Third Reich. This work explores the historical roots and the personal effects of these ideals. The author uses new archival research and freshly-elicited eyewitness testimony, to study the Royal Prussian Cadet-Schools, which trained boys from the age of ten to become army officers, and the Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalten (Napolas), which aimed to educate the future elite of the Third Reich. She shows that, for over a century, the Spartan paradigm was considered a crucial element in the formation and socialisation of Prusso-German military commanders, and that cadets regarded Spartan youths as their ultimate role-model. During the Third Reich, these ideas were transmuted in accordance with Nazi racial ideology, which presented the Spartans as the most Germanic and racially pure of all Greeks. Pupils at the Napolas were taught the importance of the Spartan example, particularly in terms of heroism and self-sacrifice. A feature of this book is the revealing information its author has collected by interviewing survivors who, as children in the dying years of the Third Reich, were exposed as pupils to Nazi educational methods and ideals.

Bohlau Verlag Der Fall Reinthaller: Das Strafverfahren gegen
Book SynopsisNach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges bestand neben der Ahndung von NS-Gewaltverbrechen politisches Interesse daran, strafrechtlich gegen Personen vorzugehen, die stellvertretend für viele als Repräsentanten der mit dem Anschluss an Deutschland einhergehenden NS-Machtergreifung angesehen wurden und für die Aufarbeitung der NS-Vergangenheit ein Exempel zu statuieren. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden in Österreich gegen Anton Reinthaller und andere Mitglieder der ehemaligen Regierung Seyß-Inquart im Zusammenhang mit dem Anschluß Österreichs an das Deutsche Reich Volksgerichtsprozesse geführt. Im Buch erfolgt die Aufarbeitung dieses Strafverfahrens unter analytischer Betrachtung der darin gegenständlichen historischen Ereignisse sowie der staats- und völkerrechtlichen Komponenten des Falles. Gegenstand und Ablauf der Strafverfahren und die betreffenden Gnadenverfahren gegen Anton Reinthaller werden dargestellt und im allgemeinen historischen und rechtlichen Gesamtkontext analysiert und kritisch betrachtet. Es stellt sich bei dieser Thematik im Besonderen die Frage nach der Verantwortung Einzelner für gesamtgesellschaftliche Vorgänge und für staatlich organisierte Aktionen. Auch die im Zusammenhang mit diesem Fall Reinthaller erfolgte Medienberichterstattung mit deren politischer Komponente wird bei der Betrachtung des Falles berücksichtigt.

Book SynopsisDie Zerstörung von Kulturdenkmälern und das Ausrauben von Museen waren Teil des Vernichtungskrieges, den das nationalsozialistische Deutschland in der Sowjetunion führte. Hunderttausende von Objekten werden bis heute vermisst, viele Fragen sind unbeantwortet. Und doch fehlt das Verständnis für die immensen Zerstörungen und Verluste an russischen Kulturgütern im Zweiten Weltkrieg in Deutschland weitgehend.Erstmals wird in diesem Buch aus russischer und deutscher Sicht der NS-Kunstraub anhand von detaillierten Fallstudien beschrieben. Betrachtet werden die Zarenschlösser bei St. Petersburg sowie die Städte Pskov und Novgorod. Der Blick auf einzelne russische Museen erlaubt es, eine Geschichte der Kunst im Krieg zu erzählen. Neu erschlossenes Quellenmaterial gibt authentische Einblicke in das Kriegsgeschehen. So treten die Personen in den Vordergrund, die auf NS-Seite für Kunstschutz und Raub, auf sowjetischer Seite für die Rettung der Kunstsammlungen verantwortlich waren.

Bohlau Verlag Zwangsarbeit in Plauen im Vogtland: Lebens- und
Book SynopsisDespite the marginal economic importance of the city, the forced labor system in Plauen in the Vogtland was just as merciless as in the industrial centers of the German Empire. While the imperial legislation made concessions in the course of the war, the operating conditions on the ground tightened. The intensifying bomb war during the war finally led the armaments companies to the periphery of the empire and thus to the Vogtland. With the relocation, a large number of foreign workers, especially from the occupied eastern territories, came to Plauen and new industries emerged. The local authorities had to react to the increasing challenges posed by the deployment of foreigners from 1943 onwards. The book describes in detail the development of the labor deployment of forced laborers, prisoners of war and concentration camp prisoners in Plauen and also highlights the individual fates of foreign workers who were used for forced labor in agriculture, industry and the authorities.

The Bukovinian city was a flourishing metropolis of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century and is now part of the Ukraine. In between there is an extremely changeable and painful history, for the city and for its residents, especially if they were Jews like Margot Ringwald and her family. As a ninety-year-old Margot Ringwald reports on the time before, during and after the war. Her story is individual and unique, and yet it is also typical; it stands for the fate of a large part of the extinct Eastern European Jewry, as the book clearly shows.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Bürger Gegen Hitler: Vorgeschichte, Aufbau und
Book SynopsisDer "Sperr-Kreis" war ein bürgerlicher Widerstandskreis gegen den Nationalsozialismus in Bayern. In der Widerstandsforschung wurde er bisher nur am Rande behandelt. Die Untersuchung der Ursprünge, Motive und Ziele der Gruppe erfolgt auf umfassender Quellengrundlage. Eine Mischung aus individual- und kollektivbiographischem Zugang macht die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede der etwa 66 Mitglieder der Widerstandsgruppe deutlich. Das Ziel des Widerstandskreises war der Aufbau einer "Auffangorganisation" für die Zeit nach dem Untergang des "Dritten Reiches" in Bayern. Seine Führungsriege der ehemalige Bayerische Gesandte in Berlin, Franz Sperr, sowie die früheren Weimarer Reichsminister Otto Geßler und Eduard Hamm stand früh mit dem bayerischen Kronprinzen Rupprecht in Verbindung, der im Falle des Zusammenbruchs als Integrationsfigur an die Spitze Bayerns treten sollte. Zur Wiederherstellung von Sicherheit und Ordnung trat man mit geeigneten Persönlichkeiten aus Militär, Polizei, Justiz, Verwaltung und Wirtschaft in Kontakt. Im Verlauf des Krieges nahm der Kreis mit dem westlichen Ausland sowie mit anderen Widerstandsgruppen Fühlung auf. So geriet er in das Fahrwasser des gescheiterten Attentats vom 20. Juli 1944, in dessen Folge seine führenden Köpfe verhaftet wurden. Sperr wurde hingerichtet, Hamm verlor sein Leben im Gefängnis. Doch sollte ein Großteil der ehemaligen Mitglieder der Gruppe den Krieg überleben und sich am Wiederaufbau und der Rückkehr zum Rechtsstaat beteiligen.

Book SynopsisIn the young Federal Republic there was a large number of civil servants in the Federal Ministry of Justice who were deeply involved in the injustice system of the Nazi state and who left their mark on their work. This volume illuminates the laborious decision-making process of the ministry to process its own history and presents the significant research results. It makes clear that the historical findings are of great current social importance. From different perspectives - also from an international point of view - the question of what lessons and consequences can be drawn from this is investigated. This applies, for example, to National Socialist thought patterns that still live on today. The responsibility of lawyers and their training in legal ethics will be put to the test, as will the role of the state as legislator. And last but not least, our culture of remembrance is also subjected to critical scrutiny.

Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Ausbildung der Lehrkräfte für die Volksschule. Drei Landeskirchen werden hierfür vergleichend in den Blick genommen und unter der Fragestellung untersucht, inwieweit es den Landeskirchen gelingt, die Ausbildung angehender Lehrkräfte vor ideologischer Vereinnahmung zu schützen. In unterschiedlichem Ausmaß sind institutionelle sowie inhaltliche Aspekte dafür entscheidend, ganz besonders jedoch zeigen sich die in die Ausbildung involvierten Personen als entscheidender Faktor dafür, wieweit ein Schutz der Ausbildung vor der Zerschlagung durch den Nationalsozialismus gelingt. Zeitgeschichtliche Umstände und institutionelle Rahmenbedingungen wirken demgegenüber meist vor allem unterstützend oder im Gegensatz hemmend.
