The Third Reich's Elite Schools
The Third Reich's Elite Schools tells the story of the Napolas, Nazi Germany's most prominent training academies for the future elite. This deeply researched study gives an in-depth account of everyday life at the schools, while also shedding fresh light on the political, social, and cultural history of the Nazi dictatorship.

Stranded in the Present
In this inventive book, Peter Fritzsche explores how Europeans and Americans saw themselves in the drama of history, how they took possession of a past thought to be slipping away, and how they generated countless stories about the sorrowful, eventful paths they chose to follow. In the aftermath of the French Revolution, contemporaries saw themselves as occupants of an utterly new period. Increasingly disconnected from an irretrievable past, worried about an unknown and dangerous future, they described themselves as indisputably modern. To be cast in the new time of the nineteenth century was to recognize the weird shapes of historical change, to see landscapes scattered with ruins, and to m...
Catholics and Violence in the Nineteenth-Century Global World
This book analyzes violence involving Catholics in the nineteenth-century world – revealing the motives for violence, showing the link between religious and secular grievances, and illuminating Catholic pluralism. Catholics and Violence in the Nineteenth-Century Global World is the first study to systematically analyze the link between faith and violent action in modern history. Focusing on incidents involving members of the Roman Catholic Church across the globe, the book offers a kaleidoscopic overview of situations in which physical or symbolic violence attended inner-Catholic, Catholic-secular, and interreligious conflicts. Focusing especially on the role of agency, the authors explore...
Die Napola Reichenau
Es gibt Klassentreffen, die mit besonderer Diskretion ablaufen, man möchte keine Öffentlichkeit, keine Zuschauer. Dazu gehören sicher auch Klassentreffen ehemaliger Schüler der Nationalpolitischen Erziehungsanstalten (NPEA, Napola), der Elite- und Ausleseschulen des Dritten Reiches. Man befürchtet, in die rechte Ecke gedrängt zu werden, als rechtsradikaler Klüngel dargestellt zu werden. Die "FAZ" hat am 2.11.1985 ein solches Klassentreffen der Napola Plön beschrieben, einschließlich der Schwierigkeiten, einen Altschüler für ein Interview zu gewinnen. Die Napola-Schüler sind schwer in das gängige Täter/Opfer-Schema des Dritten Reiches einzuordnen. Täter sind sie nicht gewesen, ...
Die Reichenau im Sommer 1945
Aus der Vorbemerkung Wir sind sechs Schülerinnen des Wirtschaftsgymnasiums der Wessenberg-Schule Konstanz. Im Schuljahr 1992/93 besuchten wir in der Jahrgangsstufe 12 den Leistungskurs Französisch, der sich im Rahmen der Landeskunde auch mit Themen wie Besetzung Frankreichs im 2. Weltkrieg, Collaboration, Résistance und französische Besatzungszeit nach 1945 befasste. Dabei kam auch das Schicksal der Insel Reichenau zur Sprache, nämlich die Evakuierung von 1945, von der wir noch nie etwas gehört hatten, auch nicht die drei Schülerinnen, die selber auf der Reichenau wohnen. Wir haben eine erste Fassung für einen Französisch-Wettbewerb der Robert-Bosch-Stiftung geschrieben und dafür A...
Prisoners of War, Prisoners of Peace
Millions of servicemen of the belligerent powers were taken prisoner during World War II. Until recently, the popular image of these men has been framed by tales of heroic escape or immense suffering at the hands of malevolent captors. For the vast majority, however, the reality was very different. Their history, both during and after the War, has largely been ignored in the grand narratives of the conflict. This collection brings together new scholarship, largely based on sources from previously unavailable Eastern European or Japanese archives. Authors highlight a number of important comparatives. Whereas for the British and Americans held by the Germans and Japanese, the end of the war meant a swift repatriation and demobilization, for the Germans, it heralded the beginning of an imprisonment that, for some, lasted until 1956. These and many more moving stories are revealed here for the first time.
