1976 JOINT ACHSWW-AHA MEETING IN WASHINGTON, D. C.
The annual meeting of the American Committee on the History
of the Second World War, held in conjunction with that of the
American Historical Association, takes place in December
1976. The business meeting of the ACHS~~ will be held at
4:45 Tuesday afternoon, 28 December, in the Assembly Room
of the Sheraton-Park Hotel, 2660 Woodley Road, N.W. Among
the items on our agenda will be the proposal for a joint
ACHSWW-AHA session at the December 1977 Dallas meeting.
Professor Dewey Grantham of Vanderbilt University, Chairman
of the 1977 AHA Program Committee, has acknowledged the
ACHSWW~s advance request for a place on the program, but
requested, in turn, as deta.iled a program proposal as
possible.
At 9;30 Wednesday morning, 29 December, in the Regency
Ballroom of the Shoreham-Americana Hotel on Calvert Street
at Connecticut Avenue (directly across Calvert Street from
the rear entrance of the Sheraton-Park), the joint AHA­
ACHSWW session is scheduled:
CODEBREAKING AND INTELLIGENCE
IN THE EUROPEAN THEATER, WORLD WAR II
CHAIR:
Arthur L. Funk, University of Florida
The Significance of Codebreaking and Intelligence in
Allied Strategy and Tactics
David Kahn, New York University
COMMENT:
Telford Taylor, Columbia University
Jurgen Rohwer, Director, Bibliothek fur Zeitgeschichte,
Stuttgart
Harold C. Deutsch, U. S. Army War College
At a major convention, schedule conflicts are virtually
inevitable. Thanks to the cooperative ingenuity of the AHA
Program and Local Arrangements committees' chairmen, Professors
Jacob M. Price, Michigan, and Thomas T. Helde, Georgetown,
respectively, the ACHSWW Program does not conflict with the
meetings or sessions of the American Military Institute, the
Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, or the
U. S. Commission on Military History. Not announced by title
in the AHA Meeting Program is a paper that may interest
participants in the ACHSWW's May Conference on the postwar
occupation of Germany and Japan; as part of the fourth session
on Quantification in German Studies, being held Tuesday evening,
28 December, at 7:00 p.m. in the Assembly Room of the Sheraton­
Park, Professor Richard L. Merritt, University of Illinois, will
give a presentation on "HICOG Public Opinion Surveys and the
1953 Bundestag Election."

MEETINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL COMMITTEES
1.
SAN FRANCISCO, AUGUST 1975
Papers presented at the Fourteenth International Congress of
Historical Sciences under the auspices of the International Committee
for History of the Second World War have been published under the
title Politics and Strategy in the Second World War (Manhattan,
Kansas: Military Affairs/Aerospace Historian Publishers, c1976).
Members of the ACHSWW are being sent copies with this newsletter.
Additional copies are available for $3.00 each from the publisher,
c/o Department of History, Kansas State University, Manhattan,
Kansas 66506.
2.
OSLO, AUGUST 1976
With the support of the American Council of Learned Societies,
Professor John A. Lukacs, Chestnut Hill, represented the ACHSWW
at a four-day conference on The Great Powers and the Nordic Countries, 1939-1940. The symposium dealt, he reported, "with a rather
limited period and a limited area . . . . The meetings--all day
during four days, in addition to receptions and excursions--were
wearisome but, for me, seldom if ever boring or repetitive. I
spoke the second day, dealing with the American factor in diplomatic
and political events affecting Scandinavia and the Great Powers from
October 1939 to June 1940. The papers were not read but circulated
and commented upon. The best paper, in my opinion, was a magisterial
one by the principal historian of modern Norwegian history, Magne
Skodvin; close to it was the performance of the eminent Swedish
historian Erik L~nnroth (both of them producing new fragments of
evidence from their respective national archives) . . . . "
In closing his report, Lukacs reiterated his appreciation for the
chance to participate, noting that there was a reception by King
Olaf, that one of the excursions was to the Norwegian War Resistance Museum, and that "both the substance and the format of this
symposium was successful enough to suggest the possibility of the
eventual adoption of its format in the United States some day."
3.
ANKARA, SEPTEMBER 1976
As a vice president of the Comite International d'Histoire de la
Deuxieme Guerre Mondiale, Professor Arthur L. Funk, Florida, chairman of the ACHSWW, participated in a meeting of the International
Committee's board in mid-September in Ankara, Turkey. His summary
report of that meeting follows:
The Board, consisting of Henri Michel, President; A. L. Funk,
Pavel Zhilin and J. Marj anovic, Vice Presidents; Harry Paape,
Treasurer, and Jean Vanwelkenhuyzen, Secretary, met in the company of Professor Enver Ziya Karal, President of the Turkish
Society of History.

4
The complete minutes of the Board will be published in the
i_nt:§:r~atJ()n:a:l: !!e~~_bulletin. The following are comments regarding
some of the points which were made.
The President pointed out that the number of members continues
to expand, with the possible addition of Spain, Iran, Egypt and
Tunisia. It is also possible for an individual to become a
member so long as dues of 100 Swiss francs are paid.
There was a review of meetings anticipated in the future. The
Polish Committee has now set the date for its conference on
cultural activities during the war as 5 - 10 September 1977. Other
meetings planned for 1977 include one in Bulgaria and possibly others
in Canada, Israel and Great Britain. The American Committee Confer­
ence on U.S. Military Government for May 1977 was also annou~ced.
In the future there are possible conferences in Brazil, Hungary,
Switzerland and France. The British conference, tentatively planned
for the second half of October 1977, would be on Governments in
Exile in London. Some discussion took place regarding the next
International Congress of Historical Sciences which will be held in
Romania in 1980.
The next meeting of the International Board will take place in
Warsaw at the time of the Polish conference, that is, in September
1977. It was agreed that a pamphlet be published setting forth the
history and accomplishments of the International Committee.
There was discussion regarding the in~§Fnationalpew~~u:l:l~~iB
which had been sent directly to all members. It was agreed that
in the future the American Committee would undertake to distribute
the international bulletin to its members. In this way the address
list can be kept up to date more easily. Bulletin No. 15 will
probably be ready by the end of the year.
Mr. Funk announced that the papers presented at San Francisco on
"Politics and Strategy in the Second World War" were in the process
of being printed and would be made available before the end of the
year.
4.
WARSAW, SEPTEMBER 1977
As noted above, the latest information from the Polish Committee on
the History of the Second World War indicates that the conference
on cultural activity during the war will take place 5 - 10 September
1977. The Polish Committee plans to have the papers published by
the time of the conference. The American contributor is to be
Professor Charles G. Alexander, Ohio, whose paper "Liberal Inter­
ventionism and the Crisis of American Liberal Thought, 1938-41"
has been forwarded to Warsaw. Professor Alexander's Nationalism
in American Thought, 1930-45 is an outstanding study of American
attitudes in the pre-war and war years.
BIENNIAL CONFERENCE, WASHINGTON,
20~22
MAY 1977
As explained in the previous newsletter (No. 15, August 1976),
the secretary and two members of the committee's board of
directors, Forrest C. Pogue of the Eisenhower Institute and
Robert Wolfe of National Archives, have been charged with
organization of the ACHSWW's next biennial conference, to be
held in 1977. (The last one was the San Francisco meeting in
August 1975, the papers from which, as announced above,
recently have been published.)
Plans for the meeting are
now largely completed.
1.
SPONSORSHIP AND COORDINATION
Under the sponsorship of the Smithsonian Institution's Dwight D.
Eisenhower Institute for Historical Research, the conference is
being held in the Leonard Carmichael Auditorium of the National
Museum of History and Technology, Constitution Avenue between
Twelfth and Fourteenth Streets, Northwest. It is being coordinated
with the MacArthur Memorial Library and Archives of Norfolk,
and the George C. Marshall Research Library in Lexington, Virginia,
at which related conferences have recently been held (as will be
explained by the Director of the Eisenhower Institute in the
opening session).
2.
PUBLICATION
Because this conference can be expected to generate a valuable
synthesis of the history and historiography of American Military
Government in Occupied Germany and Japan, together with a con­
structive but critical assessment of resources available for further
research on the topic, provisions are being made to publish its
entire proceedings--not only the principal papers, but also the
panel discussions and audience participation, as done in the case of
the National Archives Conference on Captured German and Related
Records, published in 1974, and edited by Robert Wolfe, one of the
organizers of this conference. As in that case, it is anticipated
that the proceedings of this conference will list all in attendance
as invited participants.
3.
INVITATIONAL PARTICIPATION
Although the facilities available should be able to accomodate
all wishing to participate, it would be inappropriate to leave the
matter to chance, especially when one takes into account the commit­
ment of the Eisenhower Institute and the co-sponsoring ACHSWW, as
well as the legitimate interests of the MacArthur Memorial Library
and of the Marshall Research Library, sponsors of the two preceding
occupation conferences in the series which this one includes. Par­
ticipation will therefore be on an invitational basis only. ACHSWW
members may request letters of invitation simply by checking the
space on the enclosed membership form. Non-members wishing to
p-ardcTpate· are asked to request invitations by writing direc!=ly_. _

THE TENTATIVE PROGRAM
The program is all but complete, though several speakers, panelists,
session chairmen, etc" remain to be designated. The final program will also explicitly indicate audience participation at several
of the sessions. The two morning sessions are to be divided by a
coffee break. Specific times for the sessions will be indicated
in the final program. Any further plans--possibly for luncheon
meetings or late afternoon or evening functions--will be announced
when the tentative program is presented for approval at the ACHS~v
business meeting in December.

RELATED MATERIALS
Several entries in the bibliography concluding this newsletter
directly pertain to the topic of the Smithsonian Conference,
particularly titles I.A.4, the Ward and Shulman bibliography on
the occupation of Japan; VI.3, The Clay Papers; and VI.14, the
history of The U. S. Army in the Occupation of Germany, 1944~46
by a director of the ACHSWW, Earl F. Ziemke.
The entry near the beginning of this newsletter regarding the
joint AHA-ACHSWW meeting in Washington in December concludes with
a reference to a session not announced in the AHA program during
which a paper is to be delivered on HICOG Public Opinion Survey and
the 1953 Bundestag Election.
8
At the joint conference of the International Committee and the
American Committee on the History of the Second World War, held
in connection with the historical congress at San Francisco in
August 1975, Professor Warren Kimball, Rutgers, presented a paper
on the USSR as a factor in Anglo-American planning for postwar
Germany (pp. 88-112 of the proceedings being sent ACHSWW members
with this newsletter).
Under "Announcements and News Items," imme~iately below, is
information concerning the availability of previously unpublished
Congressional material on U.S. foreign affairs from 1943 to 1950,
and there is also information on the opening of postwar Japanese
archives.
ANNOUNCEMENTS AND NEWS ITEMS
Committee on International Relations Historical Series
The House Committee on International Relations has announced
publication of a series of eight volumes presenting hitherto
unpublished transcripts of selected executive session hearings
of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (now the Committee on
International Relations) of the U. S. House of Representatives. The hearings were selected from the committee's files
in the National Archives and cover the period from 1943 to
1950. They are grouped under four main topics: Problems
of World War II and Its Aftermath; Foreign Economic Assistance Programs; Military Assistance Programs; and U. S.
Policy in the Far East.
Particular subjects covered include the evolution of
policy concerning the future of Palestine, assistance to
Greece and Turkey under the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall
Plan, the Mutual Defense Assistance Programs, and military
assistance to Korea and China. According to Dr. Thomas
E. Morgan, Chairman of the Committee on International Relations, the committee feels the volumes will help in the
commemoration of the nation's bicentennial. Congress
determined our foreign policy in the early years of the nation,
he noted, and the studies themselves deal with the period
in which Congress acquired experience and background in
asserting itself as a significant partner with the President
and the Department of State in the making of our foreign
policy.
The publication of the historical series was authorized by
the committee in April 1975 under an arrangement with the
University Center for International Studies of the University
of Pittsburgh. Faculty members and research assistants
from ,Pi ttJ?l::>urgh prepared introductory and background material,
and annotation-for the transcripts. The project director
was Dr. Harold L. Hitchens, Senior Research Associate in
the University Center.
9
.Published with the hearings are copies of the legislation
under consideration, the committee's reports on it, and
other selected documents related to the hearings. Except
for the correction of typographical errors and the insertion
of appropriate subheads, the unabridged hearings are published
exactly as they were taken down at the time. A limited
number of volumes in the historical series are available on
request from the Committee on International Relations. The
volumes are also available by purchase from the Government
Printing Office at prices ranging from $4.00 to $6.50.
(Bibliographical particulars will be given -in-the bihllo-graphical section of a subsequent newsletter.)
Declassification of Selected Japanese Archives, 1945-52
Earlier this year, the Japanese Foreign Ministry declassified
the equivalent of approximately 100,000 pages of documents
from its archives of the Occupation Era, 15 August 1945,
(the date of surrender) to 28 April 1952 (the date of the
San Francisco Peace Treaty).
In an editorial on 12 June
1976, the English-language "Japan Times Weekly" mentions that
the volume of documents released is ".
. less than 10
percent of the total of the official records made during the
Occupation Era and that a further 10 percent of this 10
percent was withheld from public viewing 'to protect the
national interest and the privacy of individuals'." The
balance of the released material is in English, including
a large volume of correspondence as well as records of
conferences between General MacArthur, Major General Richard
Sutherland, his Chief of Staff, and other principal SCAP
(Supreme Commander, Allied Powers) officers and top-ranking
Japanese officials. Frank J. Shulman, Director of the East
Asia Collection at the University of Maryland's McKeldin
Library, reports that the Japanese Foreign Ministry is
making available microfilm of most if not all of the declassified Occupation Era archival material through
Japan Microfilms Service Center Co., Ltd.

Nat~ona~Coordinating Committee
for the Promotion of History
A National Coordinating Committee for the Promotion of History
has been organized to take cooperative action to promote
interest in historical studies. The American Historical
Association, the Organization of American Historians, the
Southern Historical Association, the American Studies
Association and the New England Historical Association,
recognizing that the problems we face are serious now, will
con~inue ~o be serious through the 1970~and may get worse
- - - - - - -
10
during the 1980s,have combined their resources to develop
a long range education and action program to deal with our
problems. The purpose of the National Coordinating Committee
is:
To promote historical studies generally, but especially in
schools at all levels, to broaden historical knowledge among
the general public, to restore confidence in our discipline
throughout our society, and to educate employers in the
public and private sectors to the value of employing
professional historians.
The policy guidance for the National Coordinating Committee
will be provided by a National Policy Board composed of the
chief executive officer and president of the AHA, OAH, SHA,
ASA, and NEHA. The administration of the program will be
located in the Washington office of the AHA. Each of the
participating organizations is asking its members to make
contributions directly to its executive office. The responsible officer of each association will then make a contribution
to the AHA-NCC. These contributions will be used to organize
national resource groups and the state committees, to coordinate their activities, and to gather and disseminate information. Contributions to be routed through the AHA should
be sent to the National Coordinating Committee, in care of
the American Historical Association, 400 A Street, S. E.,
Washington, D. C.
20003.
AHA Institutional Services Program
Departments of History, libraries, and historically oriented
agencies and societies are invited to subscribe to the American Historical Association's Institutional Services Program,

S. Army Military History
ResearchS9Jl~ction
Located at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, the site of the
Army War College and Strategic Studies Institute, the Military History Research Collection (MHRC) is being developed
into an increasingly important center for the study of the
history of the Second World War. The MHRC is now engaged
in a comprehensive effort to list its holdings concerning the
-----~-----
13
military history of the war. As projected, this will result
in a very extensive bibliography, divided into parts dealing
with the war in the Pacific, on the European fronts, and elsewhere, and also with various specialized topics (technological
aspects, etc~) It is anticipated that in its final form,
the MHRC World War II Bibliography will be made available to
the public as a multi-volume set published by the Government
Printing Office. Meanwhile the MHRCts World War II holdings
are open and, within appropriate limits, accessible through
the interlibrary loan system. Those interested in utilizing
the collection, or learning of its holdings on a given topic,
are invited to write to

Mic~Ofil~_A~~~l~~~e ~n Angl~~American
Relations, 1939-45
The Public Record Office in London is making available
a special compilation of microfilm of key documents on
wartime Anglo·.American relations from the files of the
Premier and the Cabinet, as listed in detail in the previous
newsletter (No. 15, August 1976). Assembled on a pilotproject basis and issued as a set of six 100-ft. microfilm
reels at £16.50 per reel, this experimental offer represents,
as pointed out by Warren Kimball, Rutgers, a unique opportunity
both for research and advanced instruction in an important
area of the history of the Second World War and of American
diplomacy. An encouraging response to this initiative of the
PRO could have important long-range implications. A separate
copy of the PRO announcement is therefore provided to facilitate
promptly bringing this matter to the attention of library
order departments or others responsible for acquisitions.

The MARC printouts are retrieved on the basis of
Library of Congress classification numbers for the war, and
therefore do not necessarily l~st works dealing primarily
with the internal affairs of the various countries during
the war, biographies of military leaders, statesmen, etc.,
or a wide range of other matters that would fall under
other LC classification numbers, but that may nonetheless
be related intimately to the war.
Please bear in mind also, in using this bibliography,
that the MARC printouts, on which much of it is based, were
prepared from data supplied by publishers often well in
advance of publication. An entry may therefore be incomplete,
as was III.D.3 on the Strategic Bombing Survey in Newsletter
No. 15 (more complete data is given below), or there may be
a title change, as in III.B.2 in the same newsletter.
There
may also be substantial delays in the publication of a book,
and, in some cases, books listed by the Library of Congress
may, in the end, never appear in print at all. Any resulting
discrepancies, changes, etc., which are reported will, of
course, be noted in subsequent newsletters.
As an aid to identification and use, Library of Congress
classification numbers are listed here, insofar as they appear
on the MARC printouts.
In some cases, especially when book
titles are not particularly revealing, general indications
of content are given on the basis of the subject-heading
entries.
But I offer these with reservations, for the subjectheading entries must be used with caution. This was demonstrated by a case not long ago brought to my attention:
every single subject-heading entry on the LC card for an
English translation differed from the corresponding entry on
the LC card made up on the original German edition.

----- - - - - - P-repCl.red~s a -guide --tothe~Nuiembergciocu-mentsori-the Holocaust, to be followed by a second volume covering
oral testimony, this work will be a valuable asset for
students and researchers concerned with many other aspects
of the Third Reich and Second World War as well.
As explained in the preface (an introductory essay on
Nuremberg documentation in itself), only part of the
material gathered for the Nuremberg war crimes trials was
ever published. Much that was not printed was mimeographed.
If there were to be relatively limited distribution, only
a few photostatic copies might be made. In any case, it
turned out in the end that only very few sets of liThe
Nuremberg Documents" were preserved intact. It has
become extremely difficult--particularly for younger
scholars for whom the period is no longer contemporary
history--to gain an overview of the material. For them
especially Robinson and Sachs have provided this gUide,
It has three major parts. The Digest indicates the
subject of each of over three--thousand documents; the
Index is cross-referenced by name and subject~ with
additional survey entries to aid the user; and there is
finally a Chronology giving the date of origin of each
document. In addition, an extensive glossary of technical terms and jargon is complemented by lists of abbreviations and military, SS, and civil service ranks.
The value of this volume for research on the Second
World War is directly related to the importance, for the
leaders of the Third Reich, of its topic. In its way,
Adolf Hitler 1 s campaign to exterminate the European Jews
was a top-priority theater of the war, and his grim
determination not to be defeated--at least not on this
front--helped to sustain his implacable will to continue
the war long after all else was hopelessly lost. This
is why the Holocaust and the institutions of its implementation increasingly pervaded the history of Germany
and Europe during the latter part of the war--and why the
authoritative,objective handbook provided by Robinson and
Sachs will prove so valuable an aid for research on this
period.

This and the foregoing item were listed as entries III.D.1
and III.D.3 in the bibliography of the previous newsletter (No. 15), on the basis of incomplete data on
MARC printouts indicating neither pagination nor number
or contents of the volumes in the set.
The Survey (USSBS), begun several months before the end
of the war in Europe and concluded only in 1947, was a
large-scale study, conducted by a staff of over a thousand
military and civilian analysts, of the effect of strategic bombing in the war against Germany and Japan
(and accumulating, in the process, a substantial
amount of valuable documentary material eventually deposited in the National Archives). Its history, cited
in entry IILD, 6 above, was written by Prof. David
MacIsaac, Ph.D., Lt. Col., USAF, Deputy for Military
History at the USAF Academy.
Of the total of more than three hundred reports produced in th£ course of the USSBS, MacIsaac has in this
ten-volume set p the contents of which are listed below,
published thirty-one. Eleven of these had never before
been available for public sale. Thirty are numberedj
the thirty-first is the unnumbered Minority Report of
General Anderson in Vol. VII. Among the numbered
thirty, only six--European Reports Ill, 112, and 113, and
23
Pacifi,c Reports Ifl, !f2, and #3--actually received the
formal stamp of approval of the Office of the USSBS
Chairman. The remaining twenty-four, though by no
means mere r'minori ty reports" 11 present advisory
findings; only the six formally approved reports (published here in the first and seventh volumes) present the
official conclusions of the USSBS. The other reports,
technically speaking, have the standing of supporting
documents only.

D. Clay:
The Papers of General Lucius
Germany 1945-1949. Edited by Jean Edward
Smith. A Publication of the Institute of German Studies
at Indiana University. Bloomington & London: Indiana
University Press, 1974.
2 volumes, xli, 1210 pp.
DD257 .C58
A proconsu1's-eye-view of Germany and America's
role in postwar Europe from April 1945 through May
1949 is provided in these two well~roduced volumes
covering the U.S. Military Governor 1 s four-year record
31
as reflected in the 746 letters, cables, and teleconference transcripts selected by Toronto's Prof. Smith.
His concise headnotes indicate the immediate context of
the documents, ~'Thich cumulatively fill out a mosaic,
piece by piece, showing the extent to which Clay was
truly a master state-builder. The picture also shows
that Clay--though perhaps best remembered for the defense
of Berlin against the Soviet blockade--found himself,
in the fulfilment of his responsibilities, in conflict
not only with the Russians, but also with the French
and, in fact, quite frequently even with his associates
and superiors in Washington. No less than eleven
times, in connection with policy issues, he proffered
his resignation. It was not accepted. His amicable
final departure from Germany coincided with the establishment of the Federal Republic.
As a matter of personal and professional style,
Clay, while Hilitary Governor, did not choose to "go
public" in his decision-making conflicts with Washington (not to mention the French or Russians) on German
policy, nor did his 1950 volume, Decision in Germany,
fully reveal the extent to which he exercised that most
perilous kind of leadership--leading one's superiors
in a direction fraught with uncertainties for reasons
they too frequently do not fully understand or unreservedly accept. But The Papers now make it possible
to trace, on a day-to-day, week-to-week basis, the
lucid even-handedness with which Clay defined often
complex, elusive alternatives and the vigor with
which he consistently advocated a line of policy
ultimately consummated in the establishment of the
West German democracy.
