From Windhoek to Auschwitz?

Forty years before the war of annihilation in eastern Europe and the Holocaust, German colonial troops in German South West Africa perpetrated the first genocide of the twentieth century. From Windhoek to Auschwitz? interrogates the relationship between colonialism and National Socialism, using genocide, the 'racial state', and systems of forced labour as points of departure for comparative observation. The book is an indispensable document in the intensive debate among German and international scholars about the postcolonial expansion of German history, and it offers a fresh look at the history of colonialism and also the 'Third Reich'.

The Heroic Earth

In The Heroic Earth, David T. Murphy argues that geopolitical ideas were most dynamic and significant in Germany not during the Nazi era (1933-45) but in the democratic culture of the Weimar republic (1919-33). By helping to condition the German population to geopolitical ideas, which emphasized revision of the Versailles settlement and enlarging Germany's living space, geopolitics helped contribute to Nazi imperialism. From the defeat of Germany in 1918 until the rise of National Socialism i9n 1933, theories of geographical determinism enjoyed a broad currency in many fields of German public life. The ancient notion that environmental factors--climate, topography, resource distribution--sha...

Tanganyika's special status as a UN Trust Territory was a decisive factor in the timing, method and manner in which it became independent. This study investigates the interaction between Tanganyikan Africans, Great Britain and the UN in this process, and how the Africans exploited this status by means of petitions and manipulation of UN Visiting Missions. It provides unique insight into the UN's role in dismantling colonial empires, Great Britain's history as a colonial power and the development of political consciousness of modern Africans in a colonial and international context.

Dekane

Am Beispiel der Evangelischen Landeskirche in Württemberg wird die kirchliche Funktionselite der Dekane und damit die für das Funktionieren einer kirchlichen Verwaltung entscheidende Personengruppe erstmals systematisch untersucht. Damit werden Innenansichten einer lutherischen Landeskirche möglich, die sich als eine der wenigen der Eingliederung in die Reichskirche zu widersetzen vermochte. Aus einer akteurszentrierten Perspektive werden insbesondere die Rolle der Dekane bei der nationalsozialistischen "Machtergreifung" sowie der Selbstbehauptung der württembergischen Kirche unter den Bedingungen der nationalsozialistischen Diktatur beschrieben. Ein eigenes Kapitel ordnet zentrale Ergebnisse in übergreifende Fragestellungen ein und schärft das Profil der Dekane durch den Vergleich mit militärischen und Verwaltungseliten.
