Victory at Gallipoli, 1915
The German contribution in a famous Turkish victory at Gallipoli has been overshadowed by the Mustafa Kemal legend. The commanding presence of German General Liman von Sanders in the operations is well known. But relatively little is known about the background of German military intervention in Ottoman affairs. Klaus Wolf fills this gap as a result of extensive research in the German records and the published literature. He examines the military assistance offered by the German Empire in the years preceding 1914 and the German involvement in ensuring that the Ottomans fought on the side of the Central Powers and that they made best use of the German military and naval missions. He highlights...
Psychotherapy in the Third Reich
The idea for this book sprang from Geoffrey Cocks' curiosity as to what happened in the new, dynamic field of psychotherapy hi Germany with the advent of Hitler. While traditional views merely asserted that the Nazis destroyed the field of psychotherapy in Germany, a viewpoint justifiably based on the testimony of those in the field who had emigrated from Germany to escape Nazi persecution, Cocks learned that there was more to the story. He looked to several interesting shards of evidence that pointed to the possibility that one could reconstruct a history of morally questionable professional developments in German psychotherapy during the Third Reich. The evidence included: existence of a j...
Nazi Propaganda Films
Hitler and the Nazis saturated their country with many types of propaganda to convince the German citizenry that the Nazi ideology was the only ideology. One type of propaganda that the Nazis relied on heavily was cinematic. This work focuses on Nazi propaganda feature films and feature-length documentaries made in Germany between 1933 and 1945 and released to the public. Some of them were Staatsauftragsfilme, films produced by order of and financed by the Third Reich. The films are arranged by subject and then alphabetically, and complete cast and production credits are provided for each. Short biographies of actors, directors, producers, and other who were involved in the making of Nazi propaganda films are also provided.
U-boat Hunters
Robert Grant has made a lifelong study of U-boat operations in the Great War. He explains how the code breakers at the Admiralty's Room 40 were able to break into the German naval codes during World War I, offering the Navy the opportunity to hunt down and destroy U-boats at sea.
Das Pferd im "Nachpferdezeitalter"
Als die tierliche Arbeitskraft im Zuge der Motorisierung nach 1945 weitgehend obsolet geworden war, verloren Pferde unwillkürlich an Relevanz. Doch statt ihres mitunter befürchteten Verschwindens lassen sich für das Verhältnis zu Pferden Prozesse kultureller Sinnstiftung, Umwidmung, Neubesetzung und des Wiederauflebens beobachten. Nicht nur der Leistungsreitsport erlebte nach 1945 eine Blütezeit, auch das Pferd selbst erfuhr als Freizeitpartner, Fürsorgeobjekt und Freiheitssymbol neuerliche Signifikanz. Diese vielfältigen Ausprägungen von Mensch-Pferd-Beziehungen zeichneten sich zum einen durch Postulate der Erneuerung und Symbiose, zum anderen durch Traditionalität und die persistente Ausnutzung equiner Fähigkeiten aus. David de Kleijns Studie der heterogenen, stets emotional besetzten Diskurse um die Rolle des Pferdes im "Nachpferdezeitalter" (Koselleck) ermöglicht tiefe Einblicke in ein bislang wenig beachtetes Feld deutsch-deutscher Gesellschaftsgeschichte.
