Aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse, um die Waffen-SS besser zu verstehen. Die in diesem Band versammelten Texte einschlägig ausgewiesener Experten erkunden bislang vernachlässigte Themenbereiche und entwickeln neue Fragestellungen zur Geschichte der bewaffneten SS. Zu ihnen gehören biographie-, struktur-, sozial- und operationsgeschichtliche Ansätze. Es wird nach der Rolle des weiblichen Personals in der Waffen-SS, nach Netzwerken innerhalb des Führerkorps sowie nach der Motivation von ausländischen Freiwilligen und Zwangsrekrutierten gefragt. Das Buch bietet auch Studien zu Soldaten, die aus Jugoslawien, Rumänien, Estland, Dänemark und Norwegen stammten. Sowohl Kriegsverbrechen als auch die Beteiligung von Waffen-SS-Einheiten am Holocaust werden beispielhaft erläutert. Die militärischen Leistungen der Waffen-SS auf dem Schlachtfeld sind Gegenstand exemplarischer Analysen. So entsteht ein differenziertes Bild der Waf-fen-SS, ihrer Organisationsstruktur, ihres Personals und ihrer Verbände, das in seiner Gesamtheit über die bislang vorliegenden monographischen Darstellungen hinausgeht.

The study shows that Poland and Norway have to cope with various governance vulnerabilities and face different challenges. Thus, both countries should adopt some country-specific and joint measures to reduce their governance systems’ exposure to the negative impact of unfolding domestic and international situations. According to the WGI assessment, Norwegian governance is much more effective than Poland’s. This suggests the possibility to transfer governance-related knowledge and best governance practices between Norway and Poland in such a manner that could help Poland close at least some of the identified governance gaps. Poland and Norway could and should further cooperate so as to have a potential positive impact on security, energy and migration in bilateral relations and at the EU level. On security, Poland and Norway have matching interests, as they are members of the same alliance but countries that need to import security, due mostly to their locations and lack of sufficient resources to cope with potential worst-case scenarios. They cooperate closely in the Alliance, have expressed similar concerns for its future, proposed similar solutions and face a resurgent and more confrontational Russia, one that has recently challenged the existing post-Cold War order in Europe with its annexation of Crimea.
