Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Holocaust in Norwegen: Registrierung,
Book SynopsisDas Buch stellt die erste wissenschaftliche Monografie ëber den Holocaust in Norwegen dar. Es zeichnet die Entwicklung der antijëdischen Politik, die Verfolgung und Ausrottung der Juden in Norwegen vom Anfang der deutschen Besatzung bis zum Kriegsende nach.Nach dem Einmarsch deutscher Truppen in Norwegen im April 1940, der Ernennung des Reichskommissars Josef Terboyen und der "Nationalen Vereinigung" unter Parteichef Vidkun Quisling zur einzigen legalen Partei, fëhrten die Besatzer nach anfänglichem Zögern eine gezielte antijëdische Gesetzgebung ein. Im Januar 1942 wurden systematisch Juden registriert. Im ganzen Land wurden sie anschließend terrorisiert und von lokalen Gestapo-Gruppierungen und norwegischen Nazi-Organisationen verfolgt. Einzelne Juden wurden verhaftet und später deportiert. Systematisch vom Rest der Bevölkerung wurden sie jedoch nicht getrennt, auch der "Davidstern" wurde nicht eingefëhrt.Im Februar 1942 fëhrte Vidkun Quisling nach seiner Ernennung zum Fëhrer einer sogenannten "Nationalregierung" das Judenverbot von 1814 wieder ein. Im Herbst 1942 wurden sowohl die Besatzer als auch die Kollaborateure zunehmend ungeduldig in Bezug auf die "Judenfrage". Wie sie daher in der Folge agierten, unterschied sich jedoch vom Vorgehen der Nationalsozialisten im Rest Westeuropas. Warum war das so? Und wie haben die Täter - Deutsche und Norweger - zusammengearbeitet, um ihr Ziel zu erreichen? Diese und weitere Fragen beantwortet der Autor und gibt dabei gleichzeitig auch den Opfern eine Stimme.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Passion und Vernichtung: Kriegspfarrer an der
Book SynopsisIm Juni 1941 überschritten mehr als drei Millionen deutsche Soldaten die Grenze zur Sowjetunion und begannen einen Krieg, der als erklärter Rassen- und Vernichtungskrieg geführt wurde. Am Ende dieses Krieges hatten ca. 18 Millionen sowjetische Zivilisten, über 8 Millionen Soldaten der Roten Armee fast 3 Millionen deutsche Soldaten ihr Leben verloren. Inmitten des Infernos von massenhaftem Mord und tausendfachem Sterben verkündeten Wehrmachtgeistliche beider christlicher Konfessionen im Auftrag des NS-Staates die "Frohe Botschaft". Wie gingen diese Geistlichen damit um, dass sie sich in einem Vernichtungskrieg befanden? Was sagten sie sich und anderen, als sie Zeugen von Morden an Juden und Kriegsgefangenen wurden? Und wie kommentierten sie den Tod der eigenen Soldaten? Antworten auf diese Fragen finden sich in unveröffentlichten Tagebüchern, Briefen und Berichten, die von Dagmar Pöpping in zahlreichen Archiven gefunden und ausgewertet wurden.

V&R unipress GmbH Wahrnehmungen des Nationalsozialismus:
Book SynopsisTagebücher spielen als Quelle von individueller Diktaturerfahrung eine wichtige Rolle, auch in Bezug auf die nationalsozialistische Volksgemeinschaft. Die Analyse von Tagebüchern von Jugendlichen der Kinderlandverschickung als auch von Angehörigen von NS-Jugendorganisationen zeigt, dass zwischen ideologischen Vorgaben der richtigen Darstellung des Nationalsozialismus und realer Textproduktion erhebliche Diskrepanzen bestanden. Die Darstellung des KZ-Arztes Peter Hofer in Eugen Kogons SS-Staat offenbart eine weitere Sicht auf die NS-Zeit und zeigt die Notwendigkeit quellenkritischer Lektüre auch von Berichten ehemaliger KZ-Häftlinge. Die bisherige Dekonstruktion dieser das Bild der Konzentrationslager prägenden Publikation wird hier fortgesetzt, zugleich werden Forschungsdesiderata der KZ-Geschichte deutlich. Die sich im ersten Nachkriegsjahrzehnt verändernden Sichtweisen ehemaliger Nationalsozialisten auf die Entnazifizierungsbemühungen in Österreich zwischen Entlastungsstrategien, Selbstviktimisierung und Forderungshaltung eröffnen einen Blick auf das Fortleben nationalsozialistischer Wertevorstellungen in der Zweiten Republik durch die fatale Integration in das österreichische Opferkollektiv. Diaries are an important source of the individual's experience of dictatorship, also with reference to the Nazi Volksgemeinschaft (people's community). The analysis of both diaries of young adults evacuated to the countryside during the war (Kinderlandverschickung) and members of Nazi youth organizations shows considerable discrepancies between the ideological principles of the correct presentation of Nazism and real text production. The portrayal of Peter Hofer, concentration camp doctor in Eugen Kogon's SS-Staat (The Theory and Practice of Hell), not only reveals a further perspective of the Nazi era but also the necessity of a source-critical reading, even of reports of former concentration camp prisoners. The previous deconstruction of this publication, which shaped the image of the concentration camps, is continued here, while research desiderata of the concentration camp history become clear. The changing views of former Nazis on the denazification efforts in Austria in the 1950s, between relief strategies, self-victimisation and demands, give insights in Nazi value systems in the Second Republic through the fatal integration into the Austrian victim collective.

V&R Unipress Enseigner le nazisme et la Shoah. Une etude
Book SynopsisHow have the Nazi period and the Shoah been presented in history textbooks for secondary schools published since 1950 in Germany, the United Kingdom, French-speaking Belgium and France ? This volume compares their contents by underlining the evolution of this content and the influence of the historic researches as well as the various events which have been topical over the last fifty years.Whilst the European public opinion often mentions the deep silence about this Nazi period and the Shoah up to the late nineties, German textbooks from the fifties provided pupils, aged 14 to 16, with important information. Although incomplete and imperfect at the beginning, this knowledge was quickly offered and broke the silence before being dramatically increased and more precise at the turn of the century.As far as quantity and quality are concerned, there is a sharp contrast between the German and French textbooks and the British ones which deal much less with this topic. As for Walloon textbooks, they were scarce from the seventies to 2000.

MODEL CENTRUM South African Air Force Fighter Colors: Volume 2:
Book SynopsisOnce the East African Campaign was concluded, some of the SAAF Fighter Squadrons, operating in Ethiopia and Sudan, moved north to Egypt to partake in the campaign in Palestine and the Desert War. 1 Squadron operated Hawker Hurricanes, while 2 Squadron operated the American built P-40 Tomahawks. 4 Squadron also transisioned to Egypt and soon joined 2 Squadron, flying the Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk. These two units were also joined by 5 Squadron, which had been formed and trained in the Union of South Africa. All three these units would eventually fly different marks of the P-40 Kittyhawk towards the end of the campaign. The ferocity of the aerial campaign over the North African desert and coastal plains can be illustrated by facts such as the numbers of fighter aircraft involved. The three SAAF Squadrons alone operated at least around 275 Tomahawks, that the author had been able to indentify. This was followed by a similar number of Kittyhawk Mk. I and Kittyhawk Mk. II aircraft. The SAAF would also operate more than 160 Kittyhawk Mk. II and Mk. IV fighters in the late stages of this campaign and the follow-up campaign in Italy. The different SAAF squadrons that eventually operated Hurricanes, also operated well in excess of 200 Hurricanes of different models during their time in North Africa. This volume covers the combat history of these fighter squadrons during the campaign, as well as the colors and markings of their aircraft. Primary sources, such as Squadron War Diaries, Pilot Logbooks, Personal Diaries, Aircraft Movement Cards, Medical and Incident Reports, Combat Reports and Supplementary reports, were used in the preparation of the text contained herein. This volume contains 88 pages, 20 full-color plates and 95 b&wphotos, indicating the people and aircraft operated by these squadrons. This volume will be followed by a third volume, tracing the onwards history of these squadrons as well as additional SAAF Fighter Squadrons during the final months of the campaign in North Africa. More volumes will follow, detailing the SAAF Fighter Squadron operations in Malta and the campaign in Sicily, Italy and the Balkans.

Wydawnictwo STRATUS, Artur Juszczak Bulgarian Fighter Colours 1919-1948: Volume 1
Book SynopsisBulgaria is arguably the historically most underrated Axis ally that actually fought the Allies during World War 2. Despite remaining outside the main battleground of the war, the Eastern Front, this Balkan country did take its fair share of warfare, particularly due to the combat activity of its fighter air force against the armada of US bombers and their fighter escorts, in 1943 and 1944. Then, following an about-face in early September 1944, the Bulgarians combatted their former ally, the Germans. This notable air activity is largely unknown outside Bulgaria, and is not very much popularized even within the country, despite fully deserving the utmost attention.This two-volume book describes and illustrates all the fighter and fighter trainer aircraft used by the Bulgarian armed forces before, during, and shortly after WW 2. These aircraft were procured from the following countries: Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia. Emphasis is placed on the most potent German fighter types, the Messerschmitt Bf 109E and G, as well as the top-notch fighter type of France, the Dewoitine D.520. However, rare, exotic models, including the sole locally built prototype that fits the definition, the DAR-5, are also included.The camouflage and markings, as well as the military coding system of these large variety of aircraft types are described in great details. Fully illustrated with many rare photos, most of them seen for the first time in print. Mutinously detailed colour profiles of many representative aircraft type are included as well.Summing up, this lavishly illustrated, full-colour two-volume book, spanning across over 600 pages, is the reference work of the fighter and fighter trainer aircraft, as well as the pilots who flew for the Royal Bulgarian Air Force prior to, during, and shortly after World War 2.

Kagero Oficyna Wydawnicza Spanish Air Force During World War II: Germany'S
Book SynopsisContinuing with the study of the lesser known Air Forces that fought in the skies of Europe during World War II, in this book we want to remember the Spanish Air Force and how it defended the Spanish skies from several Air Forces that took part in the war. Besides we can read about the Blue Squadrons that fought against the Soviet Air Force in the Eastern Front in spite of the Spanish neutrality. We have written a text that will show us the bravery and courage of these men, in a difficult balance between the Allies and the Axis that allowed to General Franco continue in his position as chief of the Spanish state after the World War 2. We want to compile in a didactic way but without academic intention, the information about this topic from various main sources such as Juan Arráez Cerdá, José Luis González Serrano, Carlos Caballero, Francisco Martínez Canales or Jorge Fernández-Coppel, trying to focus on the Spanish Air Force actions during the world conflict defending the Spanish neutrality and in the Blue Squadrons actions against the USSR. Finally as is required we use this work to pay tribute to all the members of the Spanish Air Force that fought for their country during the difficult years of World War II.Trade ReviewA very interesting story that expands on what happened to the Spanish Air Force after the end of the Civil War. * Military Model Scene 07/06/2019 *

Kagero Oficyna Wydawnicza Panzerkampfwagen vi Tiger
Book SynopsisThe German heavy tank Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger is a vehicle known even to laymen. It was heavily armored and armed with a deadly 88 mm gun. Despite their legend, the Tigers were plagued by several technical problems, especially with propulsion, which often did not allow them to fully use their combat potential.The main motivator for designing the Pz.Kpfw. VI was eager to install a Flak 36 antiaircraft gun 36 caliber 88 in the turret. It was a weapon that could destroy Soviet tanks on long distances. In addition, it was necessary to build a tank able to withstand fire from the T-34/76 guns, which effectively eliminated the German medium tanks Pz.Kpfw. III and IV.A competition for a tank that fulfills these requirements was set, and in April 1942 the prototypes of Porshe and Henschel went for the final duel. After a series of tests, the tank developed by Henshel proved to be better. It received the designation Sd.Kfz. 181 Pz.Kpfw. VI Tiger Ausf. H1 and went into production at the plants in Kassel-Mittelfeld and Wegmann AG.The tank was plagued by many teething problems, and as a result, many subsequent construction changes were introduced in the course of production. Considering the periods of their implementation, it is possible to extract Tigers of early production series, vehicles after modification and vehicles of late production series.Trade Review'..a nice source of detailed information..' * DetailScaleView *
