Taylor & Francis Ltd The Anarchy of Nazi Memorabilia
Book SynopsisOut of the numerous books and articles on the Third Reich, few address its material culture, and fewer still discuss the phenomenon of Nazi memorabilia. This is all the more surprising given that Nazi symbols, so central to sustaining Hitler's movement, continue to live long after the collapse of his 12-year Reich. Neither did Nazi ideology die; far-right populists would like to see the swastika flown over the White House or Buckingham Palace. Against a backdrop of right-wing extremism, military re-enactors think nothing of dressing up in Waffen-SS uniforms and romanticising the Third Reich in the name of living history. Auctioneers are prepared to hammer down Nazi artefacts to the highest bidder, but who is buying them, and why do they do so? Should collectors be allowed to decorate their homes with Nazi flags?The Anarchy of Nazi Memorabilia begins by examining the creation and context of Nazi artefacts and symbols during the volatile Weimar Republic to their widTrade Review"This is a corner of the technology of the Third Reich that can still be appropriated, when the larger and more complex technology has for the most part disappeared into museums. Hughes has produced an intelligent and detailed account of a materiality that refuses to become merely a part of the past." - Richard Overy, University of Exeter, Technology and Culture"The book will be of particular interest to scholars following contemporary trends in Nazi-era studies such as the archaeology of everyday sites of genocide, the looting of not only fine arts but an array of objects that constituted the violent transfer of wealth during the war, and the exploration of material culture more broadly. It also complements scholars interested in exploring areas of collecting that are ethically problematic, such as memorabilia from the Confederacy in the American South." - Paul Jaskot, Duke University, Journal of Contemporary Archaeology"Michael Hughes has written a probing, ambitious book that makes plain the quandaries of Nazi memorabilia collections." - Christopher J. McNulty, Northeastern University Boston, Journal of Military History"The Anarchy of Nazi Memorabilia is a well-written and thoroughly researched study offering valuable connections between the present and the past that will appeal to all historians, social scientists, those interested in collecting and in material culture, and likely many more." - Melissa Etzler, Butler University, German Studies Review"An ambitious, engaging, and important work on the origins, histories, and purposes of Nazi medals and badges and their societal contexts during and after World War II." - Robert M. Ehrenreich, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Winterthur Portfolio"The material culture of the Third Reich is the subject of The Anarchy of Nazi Memorabilia, a thought-provoking new study by Michael Hughes. For all the scholarly works examining various forms of Nazi propaganda, such as films, art, architecture, radio, and posters, this is the first book of its type, and Hughes deserves praise for his pioneering effort. Without question, this is an expansive subject that warrants further scholarship" - Jeffrey Luppes, Indiana University South Bend, German Politics and SocietyTable of Contents1 Introduction / 2 From Weimar to the Third Reich / 3 The Materiality of the People’s Community / 4 Pre-war Awards: More Than Just Eagles and Swastikas / 5 Medals for Babies: The ‘Honour Cross of the German Mother’ (Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter) / 6 Wartime Awards: All Ironed Out / 7 Objects as Texts and Trade / 8 Trash or Treasure: How do you solve a problem like Nazi memorabilia? / 9 Collecting Nazi Memorabilia in the 21st Century and Beyond

Taylor & Francis French Soldiers Morale in the Phoney War 19391940
Book SynopsisThe collapse of the French army in 1940 is a well-researched topic in Second World War Studies but a surprising gap in the historiography emerges when it comes to the study of the French military prior to the German offensive of May 1940.Using various public and private sources in different languages, this book aims to address this gap by studying morale on the frontline and its management by the French Government, the Grand Quartier Général, at the scale of the regiment and on a personal level. This research also investigates German and British propaganda in French and aimed at the French sector of the frontline in order to offer the first comprehensive comparative study of French army morale in any language.Table of ContentsList of figures and tables Acknowledgements Foreword Introduction Chapter 1: The French Army on the German-French Border Chapter 2: Inaction and demoralisation Chapter 3: The struggle against cafard Chapter 4: Dealing with German and communist propaganda Chapter 5: Interacting with British Soldiers Epilogue Conclusion Bibliography List of abbreviations Chronology Index

Taylor & Francis A New Nationalist Europe Under Hitler
Book SynopsisNazis, fascists and vÃlkisch conservatives in different European countries not only cooperated internationally in the fields of culture, science, economy, and persecution of Jews, but also developed ideas for a racist and ethno-nationalist Europe under Hitler. The present volume attempts to combine an analysis of Nazi Germanyâs transnational relations with an evaluation of the discourse that accompanied these relations.Table of ContentsList of Contributors Acknowledgements Abbreviations Introduction JOHANNES DAFINGER AND DIETER POHLPART I Concepts of Europe 1 “Volksgruppen Rights” versus “Minorities Protections”: the evolution of German and Austrian political order paradigms from the 1920s to 1945 ULRICH PREHN2 Speaking Nazi-European: the semantic and conceptual formation of the National Socialist “New Europe” JOHANNES DAFINGER3 From Greater German Reich to Greater Germanic Reich: Arthur Seyss-Inquart and the racial reshaping of Europe JOHANNES KOLL4 Nazi plans for a new European order and European responses TIM KIRK5 Hispanidad in the völkisch “New Order” of Europe (1933–1945) MARICIÓ JANUÉ I MIRET6 Portugal, Salazar, and the Nazi “New Order” in Europe CLÁUDIA NINHOSPART II Science, academia, and culture 7 Controlling agriculture in Greece (1935–1944): land exploitation, peasant mobilization, and big science MARIA ZARIFI8 “Population pressure” and development models for Southeastern Europe: interactions between German and Southeastern European economists, 1930–1945 IAN INNERHOFER9 Educating the “intellectual army” of the “New Europe”?

Taylor & Francis Ltd British Exploitation of German Science and
Book SynopsisAt the end of the Second World War, Germany lay at the mercy of its occupiers, all of whom launched programmes of scientific and technological exploitation. Each occupying nation sought to bolster their own armouries and industries with the spoils of war, and Britain was no exception. Shrouded in secrecy yet directed at the top levels of government and driven by ingenuity from across the civil service and armed forces, Britain made exploitation a key priority. By examining factories and laboratories, confiscating prototypes and blueprints, and interrogating and even recruiting German experts, Britain sought to utilise the innovations of the last war to prepare for the next. This ground-breaking book tells the full story of British exploitation for the first time, sheds new light on the legacies of the Second World War, and contributes to histories of intelligence, science, warfare and power in the midst of the twentieth century.Trade ReviewThis book is not only a page turner for anyone interested in science, national security, and the postwar order, it also fills a void in our understanding of Britain’s role in exploiting Germany’s technological breakthroughs as it set out on a new role in world affairs.- Jonathan Moreno, David and Lyn Silfen University Professor, University of PennsylvaniaIn this thoroughly researched and engaging read, Hall argues that the British exploitation programme became primarily shaped by concerns about beating the Soviet Union to Germany’s treasure trove of science and technology. In doing so, this book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the close of the Second World War and the origins of the Cold War. - Brian Balmer, Professor of Science & Technology Studies, University College LondonA scholarly history of the British exploitation of German science and technology after World War II is long overdue. Charlie Hall’s book is very well written, thoroughly researched, comprehensive, and balanced in its judgments. I recommend it to anyone interested in how the Allies seized and utilized German technology and personnel as the war ended and the Cold War began. - Michael Neufeld, Smithsonian National Air and Space MuseumHall has written a short but weighty book that should be on the reading list of any historian of science and technology, the Cold War, and international relations alike.- Mario Daniels, Technology and Culture 62, no. 4Table of ContentsAcknowledgementsAbbreviationsIntroductionChapter One: The Scientific War Science and Strategy Spying on Science Forerunners to Exploitation Chapter Two: The Origins of Exploitation The Exploitation Idea Wartime Deployment Into the Reich Chapter Three: Exploitation in Earnest Committees and Agencies Investigators and Exploiters Competition and Co-operation Chapter Four: The Spoils of War Material Spoils Chemical and Biological Warfare Rocketry and Aeronautics Chapter Five: Exploiting Expertise Dustbin and Epsilon Detention and Interrogation in Germany Detention and Interrogation in Britain Chapter Six: The Brain Drain Defence Recruitment Civil Recruitment The Émigrés Chapter Seven: Allies and Rivals The United States Europe The Global Diaspora Chapter Eight: A New Adversary Working with the Soviets ‘A Completely Open Race’ Denial Policy Chapter Nine: Exploitation and the Occupation The British Zone Control of Science Denazification and Demilitarisation Chapter Ten: Exploitation in Context Reparations Legality and Morality The Public Domain Conclusion Epilogue I: The End of Exploitation Epilogue II: Impacts and Legacies Concluding Remarks BibliographyIndex

Taylor & Francis The Memory of the Second World War in Soviet and
Book SynopsisThis volume showcases important new research on World War II memory, both in the Soviet Union and in Russia today.Through an examination of war remembrance in its various formsâofficial histories, school textbooks, museums, monuments, literature, films, and Victory Day paradesâchapters illustrate how the heroic narrative of the war was established in Soviet times and how it continues to shape war memorialization under Putin. This war narrative resonates with the Russian population due to decades of Soviet commemoration, which continued virtually uninterrupted into the post-Soviet period. Major themes of the volume include the use of World War II memory for political legitimation and patriotic mobilization; the striking continuities between Soviet and post-Soviet commemorative practices; the place of Holocaust memorialization in contemporary Russia; Putinâs invocation of the war to bolster national pride and international prestige; and the relationship between individual memorTable of ContentsIntroduction: The Politics of Commemoration in the Soviet Union and Contemporary Russia Part I: Soviet Remembrance of the War 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Memories of the Second World War in Neutral Europe 19452023
Book SynopsisThis edited volume is a sequel to, and a development of, The Long Aftermath: Cultural Legacies of Europe at War, 19362016 (2016). It focuses on the six major European countries and states that remained officially neutral throughout the Second World War, namely Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Vatican.Its transnational, comparative, and interdisciplinary approach addresses complex questions pertaining to collective remembrance, national policies and politics, and intellectual as well as cultural responses to neutrality during and after the conflict. The contributions are from a broad range of scholars working across the disciplines of history, literature, film, media, and cultural studies. Their thought-provoking chapters challenge many assumptions about neutrality in the post-war European and global context, thereby filling a gap in the existing scholarship.Common themes that run through the volume include the intertwined Table of ContentsForeword: The search for neutrality in wartime.
