Vier ehemalige Wehrmachtsangehörige berichten über ihre Erlebnisse in alliierten Lagern. Ihre Alltagserfahrungen unterschieden sich beträchtlich, je nachdem, ob sie in angelsächsische, französische oder sowjetische Gefangenschaft gerieten. Jedoch litten sie alle gemeinsam unter den extremen Bedingungen von Gefangennahme und Internierung.

Hans von Dohnanyi war eine der bedeutendsten Figuren der Militäropposition gegen Hitler. Er wurde 1943 von der Gestapo festgenommen und kurz vor Kriegsende im Konzentrationslager Sachsenhausen hingerichtet. Die Geschichtsforschung hat von ihm ein schwankendes Bild gezeichnet, da sie lange allein auf die Zeugnisse seiner früheren Verfolger angewiesen war und ihnen oft unkritisch folgte. Dohnanyis leichtfertigem Umgang mit finanziellen Dingen, so ihr Ergebnis, sei es zuzuschreiben gewesen, dass der Widerstand in Gefahr geriet. Die Juristin Elisabeth Chowaniec zeichnet auf der Basis bislang unzugänglicher Dokumente die Hintergründe, die einzelnen Etappen und die skandalöse Durchführung des Verfahrens gegen Dohnany nach und leistet damit einen Beitrag zu seiner politisch-moralischen Rehabilitation.

The work of Wallace Stevens has been read most widely as poetry concerned with poetry, and not with the world in which it was created; deemed utterly singular, it seems to resist being read as the record of a life and times. In this critical biography Alan Filreis presents a detailed challenge to this exceptionalist view as he traces two major periods of Stevens's career from 1939 to 1955, the war years and the postwar years. Portraying Stevens as someone whose alternation between cultural comprehension and ignorance was itself characteristically American, Filreis examines the poet's impulse to disguise and compress the very fact of his debt to the actual world. By actual world Stevens meant historical conditions, often in order to impugn his own interest in such externalities as the last resort of a man whose famous interiority made him feel desperately irrelevant. In light of events ranging from the U.S. entry into World War II to the Cold War, Filreis shows how Stevens was driven to make a "close approach to reality" in an effort to reconcile his poetic language with a cultural language. "Wallace Stevens and the Actual World is not only an impressive feat of historical recovery and analysis, but also a pleasure to read. It will be useful to anyone interested in the relationship between American politics and literature during World War II and the Cold War."--Milton J.

The Great Depression devastated the economies of both Germany and Great Britain. Yet the middle classes in the two countries responded in vastly different ways. German Protestants, perceiving a choice among a Bolshevik-style revolution, the chaos and decadence of Weimar liberalism, and Nazi authoritarianism, voted Hitler into power and then acquiesced in the resulting dictatorship. In Britain, Labour and Tory politicians moved gingerly together to form a National Government that muddled through the Depression with piecemeal reform.In this troubling book about troubled times, Kenneth Barnes loo

The most universal civilian privation in World War II Britain, the blackout possessed many symbolic meanings. Among its complicated implications for filmmakers was a stigmatization of film spectacle--including the display of "Hollywood women," whose extravagant appearance connoted at best unpatriotic wastefulness and at worst collaboration with the enemy. Exploring the wartime breakdown of conventional gender roles on the screen and in the audience, Antonia Lant demonstrates that many British films of the period signaled their national cinematic identity by diverging from the notion of the Hollywood star, the mainstay of commercial American motion pictures, replacing her with a deglamourized, mobilized heroine. Nevertheless, the war machine demanded that British films continue to celebrate stable and reassuring gender roles. Contradictions abounded, both within film narratives and between narrative and "real life." Analyzing films of all the major wartime studios, the author scrutinizes the efforts of realist and melodramatic texts to confront women's wartime experiences, including conscription. By combining study of contemporary posters, advertisements, propaganda notices, and cartoons with consideration of recent feminist theoretical work on the cinema, spectatorship, and history, she has produced the first book to examine the relationships among gender, cinema, and nationality as they are affected by the stresses of war.Originally published in 1991.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
