Beheaded by Hitler
From 1933 during the Nazi era when Hitler refashioned the German judicial system in line with his oppressive regime, many crimes became capital offences which led to a drastic increase in the number of executions. In 1936, the Reich Minister of Justice, Franz Gurtner, acting upon Hitler’s direction, ordered that the fallbeil, a variation on the guillotine, replace the hand axe as the official method for all civil executions throughout Germany. To meet this new demand for ‘justice’, many prisons were designated as execution sites and equipped with a ‘Tegel Fallbeil’, named after the inmates of the Tegal prison in Berlin who first built these atrocious contraptions.

Monty was by nature a cautious commander with dwindling manpower resources. Operation Market Garden in September 1944 had not been successful in achieving a major lodgement over the Rhine. Monty knew that Hitler regarded the Rhine as his final barrier, and his storm-troopers and paratroops had fought like demons for four weeks in February/March 1945 defending the Siegfried Line in Operations Veritable and Blockbuster. Presumably they would continue to defend their o...
Eine Frage der Rasse?
Anders als andere evangelische Kirchen hat die bayerische Landeskirche nicht von sich aus den Arierparagrafen eingefuhrt. Dennoch waren antisemitische Vorstellungen auch hier weit verbreitet und teils tief verwurzelt. Die Studie verdeutlicht am Beispiel der Schicksale bayerischer Pfarrfamilien mit judischen Vorfahren, dass und warum es innerhalb der bayerischen Landeskirche in der Zeit des "Dritten Reichs" nie zu einer eindeutigen und einheitlichen Haltung zu Christen judischer Herkunft, insbesondere zu den Pfarrern oder Pfarrfrauen unter ihnen, gekommen ist. Denkweisen und Verhaltensstrategien bewegten sich meist in einer Grauzone zwischen Zustimmung und Abgrenzung zur nationalsozialistischen Rassenideologie und Rassengesetzgebung.
