This book re-evaluates the architectural history of Nazi Germany and looks at the development of the forced-labour concentration camp system. Through an analysis of such major Nazi building projects as the Nuremberg Party Rally Grounds and the rebuilding of Berlin, Jaskot ties together the development of the German building economy, state architectural goals and the rise of the SS as a political and economic force. As a result, The Architecture of Oppression contributes to our understanding of the conjunction of culture and politics in the Nazi period as well as the agency of architects and SS administrators in enabling this process.

Stolen identity - the forced "Germanization" of "racially valuable" children during National Socialism, illustrated by the country of Poland. Heinrich Himmler, acting in his capacity as "Reich Commissioner for the Strengthening of German Foldom", ordered the selection of "racially valuable" polish children for "Germanization"--The Teutonic blood had to be collected even if it meant kidnapping children. For this reason polish children from orphanages, schools, forster parents, parents who refused to sign the "Volksliste" and parents who had been murdered or sent to forced labor or concentration camps had to have a "racial" examination - children who possessed the Nordic features were regarded as suitable for the "Germanization" and were distributed in special children homes. At these special children homes the children were forced to give up their own identity step by step: the children got new German names and had to learn German, moreover contact with relatives at home was painfully forbidden. In Austria, known as "Ostmark" during National Socialism, two special places were found, where polish children were confronted with "Germanization practices": the children home "Alpenland" in Oberweis next to Gmunden and the resettlement camp "Parsch" in Salzburg. After a "successful Germanization" the children were placed in German and Austrian forster families. There the children were treated in different ways: some children became a part of the family, they felt safety and comfortable and were treated like their own children. Other polish girls and boys were treated badly: the forster families took advantage of their defencelessness, they abused and beat the polish children, they reagard them just as cheap labourer. After the war only a small number of such kidnapped children was tracked by the several tracking services like UNRRA, IRO or the Polish Red Cross. But further problems arose when German and Austrian forster families or the children themselves opposed the repatriation to Poland. Being back in Poland, the polish children were regarded as children of the enemy - regarded as "German" of the polish society. Geraubte Identität. Die gewaltsame "Eindeuschung" von "rassisch vollen" Kindern in der NS-Zeit. Am Beispiel Polen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird das Schicksal von polnischen Kindern in der NS-Zeit untersucht. Die Jungen und Mädchen wurden aufgrund ihres "rassischen" Erscheinungsbildes und eines psychologischen Gutachtens von namhaften Dienststellen des Deutschen Reiches als „eindeutschungsfähig“ bewertet und in die „Ostmark“ deportiert. Die Verantwortlichen des Verfahrens sahen in den Selektierten den erwünschten "wertvollen Bevölkerungszuwachs", die betroffenen Kinder mussten lediglich nationalsozialistisch indoktriniert werden, um die Ideale des NS-Regimes nicht nur äußerlich zu verkörpern. Polnische Jungen und Mädchen wurden aus Fürsorgeheimen, von ihren Vormündern und von ihren Pflegestellen fortgenommen, aus ihrem leiblichen Elternhaus sowie aus Familien, die die Eintragung in die DVL verweigerten oder ins Konzentrationslager gebracht worden waren, regelrecht verschleppt. Im Laufe ihres Leidensweges mussten sich die Kinder einem strengen Auswahlverfahren unterziehen und wurden mit spezifischen „Eindeutschungsmaßnahmen“, wie der „Verdeutschung“ des Namens oder dem Erlernen der deutschen Sprache konfrontiert. Die Betroffenen wurden somit schrittweise ihrer ursprünglichen Identität entledigt. In der „Ostmark“ wurde in der Nähe von Gmunden eigens ein Heim für „einzudeutschende“ Jungen und Mädchen errichtet – das Kinderheim „Alpenland“ in Oberweis, das eine zentrale Schaltstelle für die Vermittlung „einzudeutschender“ Kinder an Pflegestellen in der „Ostmark“ darstellte. Daneben ist noch das Umsiedlerlager „Parsch“ in Salzburg zu nennen, in dem auch „eindeutschungsfähige“ Jungen und Mädchen kurzfristig untergebracht und an Pflegefamilien im Raum Salzburg übergeben wurden. Die Vermittlung an eine deutsche bzw. österreichische Pflegefamilie stellte den „krönenden Abschluss“ der „Eindeutschungsverfahrens“ dar. Die Integration in diese „Ersatzfamilien“ verlief allerdings unterschiedlich: So wurden einige Kinder von ihren Pflegestellen als Arbeitskräfte ausgenutzt, andere Familien hingegen gaben den ausländischen Pflegekindern ein herzliches Zuhause. Infolgedessen lehnten so manche Jungen und Mädchen nach Kriegsende die Repatriierung in ihre ursprüngliche Heimat ab. Das Auffinden der polnischen Kinder war für die diversen Suchdienste nach Kriegsende mit enormen Schwierigkeiten und bürokratischen Hindernissen verbunden, nur ein Bruchteil der Kinder konnte gefunden werden. Für viele stellte die Rückführung in die Heimat allerdings eine seelische Belastung dar: Die Kinder wurden mit Vorurteilen der Nachkriegsbevölkerung konfrontiert und wurden zu Außenseitern degradiert.

Die Arbeit stellt die Hauptlinien der im 20. Jahrhundert in West- und Osteuropa geführten Totalitarismus-Debatten dar, um die besonderen Merkmale von Cassirers Auseinandersetzung mit demselben Phänomen des Totalitarismus zu zeigen. Der Autor konzentriert sich auf Cassirers Kulturphilosophie und politischer Philosophie im Verhältnis zu den dargestellten Debatten. So wird geklärt, welchen Gewinn Cassirers kulturanthropologisch angelegte Deutung totalitärer Herrschaft aus heutiger Sicht abwirft.

Enno Georg, Schüler des Göttinger Historikers Percy Ernst Schramm, gibt umfassenden Einblick in einen weithin unbekannten Aktionsbereich der SS im Staate Hitlers. SS-eigene Wirtschaftsunternehmen entstanden, vor allem auf dem Sektor des Baugewerbes, schon vor 1939 vor allem in Gestalt von Häftlingsbetrieben, d.h. als Nebenwirkung des Konzentrationslagersystems der SS. Frühzeitig fand Himmlers Bestreben nach Ausweitung der SS-Kompetenzen hier ein neues Betätigungsfeld. Zugleich bot sich dem Reichsführer SS dabei die Möglichkeit, weltanschauliche Lieblingsvorstellungen sowie bestimmte technische Erfindungen und Experimente in eigener Regie zu verwirklichen. Der dann im Krieg anschwellende Konzern der SS-Betriebe, Deutsche Ausrüstungs-Werke (DAW), Deutsche Erd- und Steinwerke (DEST) u.a.m., die in die Form privatkapitalistischer GmbHs gekleidet waren, machte das Wirtschaftsverwaltungshauptamt der SS schließlich zu einem bedeutenden Faktor der Rüstungswirtschaft. Es zeichnete sich hierbei auch die Unterwanderung der privaten Konkurrenzwirtschaft durch eine letztlich nicht nach Rentabilitätsgesichtspunkten arbeitende, aufgrund der Staatssklaverei in den Konzentrationslagern von Lohnverpflichtungen unabhängige SS-Monopolwirtschaft ab. Der Verfasser zeigt auch, welche Zukunftsvorstellungen Himmler mit diesem Instrument SS-eigene Wirtschaft verband

When the curtains fell on the 'Thousand-Year Reich', in May 1945, SS-Brigadefuhrer Walter Schellenberg left for neutral Stockholm, only to be takn shortly thereafter to Frankfurt and London for interogating. The 'Final Report' on the Case of Walter Schellenberg is the revealing product of those Allied interogations. Reinhard R Doerries has written the first scholarly appraisal of Schellenberg as a Nazi leader and Hitler's final head of foreign intelligence.

"This is the first-ever analytical study of Nazi Germany's political foreign intelligence service, Office VI of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt and its head, Walter Schellenberg. Katrin Paehler tells the story of Schellenberg's career in policing and intelligence, charts the development and activities of the service he eventually headed, and discusses his attempts to place it at the center of Nazi foreign intelligence and foreign policy. The book locates the service in its proper pedigree of the SS as well as in relation to its two main rivals - the Abwehr and the Auswärtige Amt. It also considers the role Nazi ideology played in the conceptualization and execution of foreign intelligence, revealing how this ideological prism fractured and distorted Office VI's view of the world. The book is based in contemporary and postwar documents - many recently declassified - from archives in the United States, Germany, and Russia."--Provided by publisher.

In Making Sense of War, Amir Weiner reconceptualizes the entire historical experience of the Soviet Union from a new perspective, that of World War II. Breaking with the conventional interpretation that views World War II as a post-revolutionary addendum, Weiner situates this event at the crux of the development of the Soviet--not just the Stalinist--system. Through a richly detailed look at Soviet society as a whole, and at one Ukrainian region in particular, the author shows how World War II came to define the ways in which members of the political elite as well as ordinary citizens viewed the world and acted upon their beliefs and ideologies. The book explores the creation of the myth of the war against the historiography of modern schemes for social engineering, the Holocaust, ethnic deportations, collaboration, and postwar settlements. For communist true believers, World War II was the purgatory of the revolution, the final cleansing of Soviet society of the remaining elusive "human weeds" who intruded upon socialist harmony, and it brought the polity to the brink of communism. Those ridden with doubts turned to the war as a redemption for past wrongs of the regime, while others hoped it would be the death blow to an evil enterprise. For all, it was the Armageddon of the Bolshevik Revolution. The result of Weiner's inquiry is a bold, compelling new picture of a Soviet Union both reinforced and enfeebled by the experience of total war.
