The Impact of War Experiences in Europe
This publication focuses on the impact of war experiences on non-German nationals serving in the Nazi German armed forces and labour organisations. This new research sheds light on the individuals and their biographies, exploring the tense situations in which they found themselves.. It was not just the individuals who were called up to the Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD), the Kriegshilfsdienst (KHD) and the Wehrmacht who were affected; families and communities at home also had to cope with and respond to the conscription of their sons, husbands and fathers. In some occupied regions cases, the families of deserters and men who went into hiding were resettled and saw their properties confiscated.In this context, adopting an actor-centred approach by focusing on ego-documents to observe individual experiences is key to understanding the diversity and heterogeneity of the war experiences of these men and women.
Instrumentalizing the Past
In today's world, we can point to many international disputes and interstate conflicts fueled by past events. Historical resentments or memories of past suffering or fame are often used to justify political, economic and even territorial demands. Inter-state disputes and historical conflicts should be understood as evidence of political and social tensions related to active, serious differences in the assessment of the common past. The book explains the role of such conflicts in international relations and suggests ways of classifying them. It presents examples of the internationally relevant instrumentalisation of history from different regions of the world and outlines ways of overcoming them.

Stalin's Defectors
The first systematic study of the phenomenon of frontline surrender to the Germans in the Soviet Union's 'Great Patriotic War' against the Nazis in 1941-1945, showing that while people were disgruntled with Stalin's rule, most attempts to cross the frontline stemmed from a wish to survive this war, rather than a desire to support Hitler's regime.

Zero Night
'The story of a lesser known – but perhaps the greatest – escape of Second World War prisoners has been told in a new book.' The Scotsman 'This is undeniably history as it should be told and a thundering good read.' History of War Magazine Oflag VI-B, Warburg, Germany: On the night of 30 August 1942 – 'Zero Night' – 40 officers from Britain, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa staged the most audacious mass escape of the Second World War. It was the first 'Great Escape' – but instead of tunnelling, the escapers boldly went over the huge perimeter fences using wooden scaling contraptions. This was the notorious 'Warburg Wire Job', described by fellow prisoner and fighter ace ...
Konfliktlandschaften interdisziplinär lesen
Gewaltereignisse formen Landschaften und Orte grundlegend neu. Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge eröffnen interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf die Art und Weise, wie Gewalt ihre Schauplätze materiell verändert und wie sich daran geknüpfte Narrative und Diskurse, Ereignisse und Akteure aufeinander beziehen. Die Fallbeispiele reichen von der Antike über das Mittelalter bis in die Neuzeit und adressieren kriegerische Kampfplätze, militarisierte Grenzen sowie Gewalt- und Vernichtungsorte der Shoah. Im Verständnis der Interdisziplinären Arbeitsgruppe Konfliktlandschaften (IAK) der Universität Osnabrück geht es dabei um eine Integration von naturwissenschaftlichen, sozial- sowie k...
Lesen / Sehen
Literatur ist nicht einfach eine Sammlung von Texten - sie ist ein materielles, haptisches und nicht zuletzt visuelles Erlebnis. Der Blick der Lesenden wird gleichermaßen fasziniert und irritiert durch das Aufscheinen des Wortes - nicht als auflösbares Zeichen, sondern als gedrucktes Artefakt. Theoretisch ist dies immer wieder ins Feld geführt worden - etwa in Luhmanns Funktionsbestimmung der Literatur -, im wissenschaftlichen Umgang mit literarischen Texten dominiert jedoch das Lesen. Die Beiträge des Bandes widmen sich einer theoretischen, methodischen und praktischen Symmetrisierung von Lesen und Sehen für die Literatur des 18. bis 21. Jahrhunderts.
