BUSINESS MEETING
The annual business meeting of the ACHSWW is to be on Wednesday, 28
December, from 4:45 to 6:30 p.m., in the State Room of the Fairmont Hotel,
1717 N. Akard St. at Ross Avenue. Items on the agenda will include
consideration of proposals for a joint ACHSTNW-AHA session at the 1978
annual meeting and for developing a guide to the study of the era of the
Second World War--an undertaking discussed at the ACHSWW Board Meeting
held in Washington, D. C.,as reported below.

JOINT ACHSWW-AHA SESSION
At the business meeting last December, it was decided to propose,
for the 1977 meeting, a joint session on prisoners of war. The session
proposal by the ACHSWW and (as announced in our May newsletter) accepted
by the AHA program committee has been scheduled for Thursday, 29 December,
from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., in the Travis Room of the Sheraton-Dallas Hotel,

The recent plight of the American prisoners of war in Vietnam has engen­
dered widespread interest among public and professional audiences in the
fate of paws in that war and throughout history. The three papers at
this session address themselves to important aspects of the pow issue
as it has developed since the beginning of the Second World War.
The first is an account of the experience of prisoners in Stalag
Luft III, who were spared many of the hardships suffered by other pri­
soners in Germany. The author of a forthcoming book on the subject,
Dr. Durand describes the factors that made this particular Stammlager
an historical model of what can be done, despite an intensely hostile
environment, not only to alleviate the plight of prisoners, but also to
maintain the professional integrity of their captors. One of the most
important factors in the relatively humane atmosphere at Stalag Luft III,
according to Captain Durand, was the sense of honor and respect between
professional soldiers in their respective roles as captors and captives-­
a sense of professional respect that seems to have all but disappeared
in such situations as they have arisen since the Second World War.
The second paper is a presentation by Dr. Fred Kiley, Director of
Research on American paws in Vietnam, Office of the Secretary of Defense,
Washington, D. C. In the course of the extensive research necessary to
evaluate the Vietnam POW question in historical perspective, Colonel
Kiley has found that, in spite of a major revision of the Geneva Conven­
tion in 1949 designed to resolve some of the problems uncovered during
World War II, the treatment given paws has in fact become increasingly
brutal and inhumane. Kiley's paper provides specific information and
historical examples to support this conclusion and suggests explanations
why certain belligerents have chosen not to accord prisoners the kind of
humane treatment described in Captain Durand's presentation.
The third paper, by Dr. Edna Jo Hunter, Assistant Director and Head
of Family Studies, Center for Prisoner of War Studies, Naval Health
Research Center, San Diego, California, focusses on the role of the
families of prisoners of war, exploring an often neglected social and
psychological dimension of the question of the historical significance
of prisoners of war.
OTHER CONFERENCES AND MEETINGS
BIENNIAL CONFERENCE
In May 1977 the ACHSWW held its Biennial Conference, jointly
sponsoring, with the Eisenhower Institute for Historical
Research, a two-day symposium at the Smithsonian, and also
holding a board meeting at which consideration was given to
several questions, as indicated below.
1.
AMERICANS AS PROCONSULS
With a capacity audience in the Carmichael Auditorium of the National
Museum of History and Technology, the two-day conference on "Americans
as Proconsuls," dealing with the postwar occupation of Germany and Japan,
opened on the morning of Friday, 20 May. It enjoyed the authorized
4
support not only of the Eisenhower Institute's staff, but also of members
of the staff of the National Archives, both on the platform and behind
the scenes, where their service was invaluable in preparations, arrangements,
and the fulfilment of the many responsibilities related to an undertaking
of this character.
The proceedings of the conference, which are being prepared for
publication under the editorship of Dr. Robert Wolf, National Archives,
are to include the text not only of the papers on the program, but also
unscheduled presentations and discussion, such as the session-within-a­
session that grew out of the extensive comments of John J. McCloy and
his responses to the questions addressed to him.
2.
MEETING OF THE ACHSWW BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The meeting, held in the fifth-floor West Conference Room of the
Museum of History and Technology by courtesy of the Smithsonian's Eisen­
hower Institute, was requested by the ACHSWW Secretary, with the support
of the Committee Chairman, to consider several aspects of the problem of
informing, in detail, those interested in the era of the Second World War
of the steadily increasing volume and variety of primary and secondary
source materials becoming available in publications and archives here anu
abroad. In preparing the bibliographies included with the newsletter
(partly on the basis of Library of Congress listings provided by Miss
Janet Ziegler, who unfortunately could not be present), the secretary
had become convinced that there was an urgent need for a far more
comprehensive and ambitious effort than could be mounted in the secre­
tariat with the resources at hand.
Unlike the national committees in several other countries, which are
housed in (or supported as) independently funded agencies, the ACHSWW
has a secretariat located in the history department of a public univer­
sity. The administration of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale
has, to be sure, proven as cooperative as possible, but fiscal constraints
have so far precluded granting the ACHSWW Secretary released time from his
normal teaching load or other responsibilities as professor of history,
not to mention affording secretarial support beyond the help that can
be made available by two secretaries and two part-time student workers
serving a department of twenty. Membership dues are barely adequate to
cover current operating costs; the expenses of the present conference~ for
example, are largely being borne by the Smithsonian Institution. Even so,
because of the unusually large volume of correspondence related to this
invitational conference, it has been impossible to carry, in the current
(May 1977) newsletter, more than a single one-page-long bibliographical
entry. The autumn newsletter would, to be sure, have an extensive
bibliography [twenty-five pages, as it turns out], including substantial
selections of the Library of Congress listings transmitted by Miss
Ziegler, a full summary of the contents of an invaluable new National
Archives microfilm publication, and a detailed description of a publicized
special series of publications made available by the Historian of the
U. S. Senate. What unfortunately would simply not be able to be in­
cluded, however, would be important European listings that had been
graciously offered by Michael Parrish, a librarian at Indiana University,
not to mention significant further coverage that would gladly have been
,--

provided by Frank Joseph Shulman, Director of the East Asia Collection at
t.he University of Haryland' s College Park Library System.
In the course of the ensuing discussion (in which, at the invitation
of the secretary~ Laszlo Alfoldi of the U. S. Army Military History
Research Collection, Robin Higham, editor of Aerospace Historian and
Military Affairs, Arnold Price of the Library of Congress, JUrgen Rohwer
of the Library of Contemporary History at Stuttgart, and Frank Joseph
Shulman, College Park, participated), a number of problems were tentatively
defined and at least a preliminary consensus was reached on several issues:
A. SCOPE OF NEWSLETTER BIBLIOGRAPHY.--It was generally agreed that
the ACHSWW Secretary should continue to include a bibliography in the
newsletter, but insofar as limitations in resources of the secretariat
precluded more comprehensive coverage, he should give priority to
newly available source materials, bibliographical tools, and basic
research resources, particularly those that might otherwise not come to
committee members' attention at all--or in any case only belatedly.
B. PERIODICAL LITERATURE COVERAGE. --AI though it un fortuna tely is
not possible at this time to provide separate coverage of periodical
literature on the era of the Second World War, articles on the period
are included (though not in a separate section) in the listings in the
American Historical Association's journal Recently Published Articles,
edited by our committee colleague James J. Dougherty, Bibliographer
of the AHA (and also coordinator, with Robert Dallek, UCLA, of ACHSWW
book review coverage for the French Committee's Revue d'Histoire
de la Deuxieme Guerre Mondiale). Published three times annually,
RPA is available by subscription directly from the American Historical
Association (400 A Street, S. E., Washington, D. C. 20003, at $5.00
annually for AHA members and $8.00 for non-members, with a $1.00 sur­
charge if overseas postage is required).
WORLD WAR II HISTORICAL MATERIALS GUIDE .--In view of the steadily
increasing volume of historical source and secondary materials avail­
able on the era of the Second World War, there is an urgent need for
a comprehensive new guide. The problem is illustrated by the situa­
tion in the relatively circumscribed area of English-language book­
length publications. The bibliography prepared by Hiss Janet Ziegler
of the UCLA Library, a member of this Board of Directors and chairman
of the ACHSWW Bibliography Committee, World War II: A Bibliography
of Books in English, 1945-1965 (Stanford: Hoover Institution Press,
1971) was soon supplemented by Arthur L. Funk's compilation, A Select
Bibliography of Books on the Second World War (Gainesville, Florida:
American Committee on the History of the Second World War, 1975).
With increasingly selective newsletter coverage of general English­
language works, a current compilation updating the work of Funk and
Ziegler would be most useful.
Beyond that, however, there is a burgeoning international liter­
ature not only in book but micropublication form. Archives are being
opened and their collections expanded (the holdings, for example, of
the various Presidential Libraries). A tremendous volume of
­
C.
6
previously classified material is becoming a.vai1ab1e under the 30-year
rule, not to mention the Freedom-of-Information Act. In the background,
a large body of "forgotten" contemporary material is being rediscovered
(as a forthcoming report in this newsletter by Dr. Arnold Price of
the Library of Congress will illustrate). The resources available
today at College Park, Paris, Stanford, Stuttgart, and Turin alone-­
to refer to only five centers--wou1d, if fully appreciated throughout
the international community of World War II scholars, dramatically
facilitate the study and understanding of important aspects of the
Second World War as the background of the contemporary world.
The urgency and potential value of a comprehensive new guide
(or set of guides) to the bibliography and archival resources for
the study of the history of the Second World War were fully appre­
ciated at the board meeting. But it was also recognized that
formal initiation of so extensive a project would presuppose consi­
derable preliminary work, particularly since sophisticated coordina­
tion with leading authorities (and custodians) in the United States
and abroa.d would be involved. The discussion therefore ended with the
understanding that the committee officers and intereste1d members of the
board would give the undertaking further consideration, presenting
their tentative recommendations for discussion by the full committee
at the business meeting in Dallas in December.
[N. B.:
A detailed
proposal will be on the agenda.]
D.
APPRECIATION OF THE PREPARATORY WORK OF THE BIBLIOGRAPHY COMMITTEE.
Insofar as the next steps toward preparing a new guide would now have
to be coordinated by the chairman and secretary of the committee,
working together with individual board members of the ACHSWW Board and
with officers of the International Committee, it was acknowledged
that the Bibliography Committee, as originally established, had now
been supplanted. The original Bibliography Committee, under the
chairmanship of Miss Ziegler, had fulfilled its charge well, and the
ACHSWW Chairman and Secretary both expressed their appreciation, with
which several members of the Board of Directors strongly concurred,
also reiterating their appreciation of Miss Ziegler's continuing
collaboration with the newsletter bibliography.
E. ACHSWW ARCHIVIST. --Although, as the chairman (and f.ormer sec.re­
tary) stressed,
the bibliographies included in the newsletter since
the committee's establishment ten years ago were never intended to
offer cumulatively comprehensive coverage, the committee's publications,
considered as a whole, have come to be widely regarded as an invaluable
tool for research and instruction; Joachim Remak, for example, concluded
his "Suggestions for Further Reading" in The Origins of the Second
World War (Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, 1976) with the observation
that ". . . there are the truly encyclopedic listings of the American
Committee on the History of the Second World War . . . . " However, the
secretariat's stock of back copies of newsletters, bibliographies,
etc., is exhausted. Facilities and staff are not available to dupli­
cate file copies in order to fill continuing requests for the complete
set of committee materials issued since Newsletter No.1 in May 1968.
7
Because orders are being received from individual new members~
unaffiliated scholars~ and university libraries (most recently
Harvard's), the secretary suggested that master copies of the
newsletter and other committee publications be deposited with Professor
Robin Higham, Department of History~ Kansas State University, Man­
hattan, Kansas 66506, editor of Aerospace Historian and Military
Affairs, who would be willing to serve as committee archivist. In
1976 he had arranged to issue the proceedings of the San Francisco
conference session, Politics and Strategy in the Second World War
(cited below in the bibliography [III.A.9] as a publication of the
MAl AH Instant Publishing Series, and would be able to provide, on
demand, individual copies of other ACHSWW material. It was resolved,
without dissent, to ask Professor Higham to become committee archivist,
and he accepted.
POLISH COMMITTEE CONFERENCE
From 7 through 9 September 1977 the Polish Commission for
the History of the Second World War and the History Institute
of the Polish Academy of Sciences held an International Collo­
quium on the theme of "The War and Culture 1939-1945," including
a paper by Charles C. Alexander, Professor of History at Ohio
University, a specialist in the history of American thought
and culture, who attended with support from his institution,
the ACHSWW, and the American Council of Learned Societies.
Professor Alexander noted, on his return, that the conference was in
fact more of a forum than a colloquium. There were papers that"..
might
have prompted lively discussion and interesting interchange, but there
was none of that kind of thing at this conference, which was confined
to formal presentations, one after another, with no direct commentary,
no questions from the floor. I was told . . . that this was the common
procedure at the conferences staged by the various national committees,
but as an American used to the give and take of American scholarly
gatherings, I was disappointed. . .
"Yet withal, the colloquium, held in the stately Staszic Palace
headquarters of the Polish Academy of Sciences, was a remarkable
experience. Once again I offer my thanks. . • ."
THIRD NAVAL HISTORY SYMPOSIUM
On Thursday and Friday, 27-28 October 1977, the History
Department of the U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland, will
sponsor the Third Naval History Symposium, to which interested
historians are invited.
Over ninety historians from Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United
Kingdom, and the United States will participate in a program of eighteen
sessions on a wide variety of topics. Each session will broadly address
the theme of "New Sources and Changing Interpretations in Naval History."
8
Of particular interest to historians of the era of the Second World
War should be the sessions on Naval Intelligence in the Second World War
f
Prelude and Postscript to Pearl Harbor, The U. S. Marine Corps and the
Search for a Mission in the 20th Century, The U. S. Navy and the New
Deal, and American Naval Biography.
The session on Naval Intelligence,
which will be chaired by Harold C. Deutsch, a director of the ACHSWW,
will include papers on ULTRA and the Battle of the Atlantic by Commander
Patrick Beesly, former Deputy Chief of the Admiralty's Submarine Plotting
Koom; Jijrgen Rohwer of the Library of Contemporary History in Stuttgart,
who participated in the ACHSWW-AHA joint session on Codebreaking and
Inte1.ligence in Washington last December, and Captain Kenneth Knowles, who
handled ULTRA for the U. S. Chief of Naval Operations. Captain Knowles'
paper will be based on material concerning ULTRA quite recently declassified by NSA and on his own vivid recollections of the Battle of the Atlantic.
Commentary will be by Admiral Denning, Director of British Naval Intelligence during World War II.
Anyone interested in information cJncerning the symposium or desiring
registration materials should promptly write to the Symposium Committee,
History Department, U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. 21402, or telephone the USNA History Department directly (301: 267-2349).
ACHSWW-OAH JOINT SESSION IN APRIL 1978
The Program Committee of the Organization of American Historians
has accepted the ACHSWW proposal for a joint session at the
annual meeting to be held in New York, N. Y., 12-15 April 1978:
FILM AND AMERICA AT WAR, 1941-1945

Professor Culbert, on leave of absence from Louisiana State last year as
a Woodrow Wilson Fellow in Washington, D. C., and this year as a National
Humanities Institute Fellow at Yale, will address himself to the official
propaganda effort represented by Frank Capra's seven orientation films
seen by civilian and military audiences throughout the world from 1942
through 1945. Lawrence Suid's paper studies the influence of the military
and the Office of War Information on the film industry.
The commentators, William Murphy of the National Archives, and Forrest
C. Pogue, past chairman and a permanent director of the ACHSWW, are apt
to be familiar, at least by name. to many members of the committee, out
the session chairman, Erik Barnouw may not be. Born in the Netherlands
before the First World War, he was a writer and editor for CBS and NBC.
In 1944-45, he supervised the educational unit of the Armed Forces Radio
Service, the office within the Information and Education Division of the
War Department that included the Social Science Research Branch and Frank
Capra's film unit. which produced the Why We Fight series. A Columbia
University professor emeritus of dramatic arts (cinema, radio, and television),
Barnouw is the author of a three-volume history of American broadcasting
(1966-70, the third volume having received the Bancroft Prize in 1971),
as well as a documentary on the history of the nonfiction film (1974)
and an account of the evolution of American television (1975). (These
books, as well as his forthcoming volume on the role of the sponsor in
broadcasting, are issued by Oxford University Press.)
BULGARIAN COMMITTEE CONFERENCE
On 27-28 May 1978 the Bulgarian affiliate of the International
Committee on the History of the Second World War is sponsoring
a conference, with papers from Bulgaria, East and West Germany,
Hungary, Italy, and Romania, on the "The Anti-Fascist Resistance
Among the European Members of the Tripartite Pact, 1939-1945."
The meeting will be attended by members of the International
Committee, as well as representatives of the various national
committees.
Depending upon the reception, at the Dallas
meeting in December 1977, of a proposal being drafted for
international coordination of a bibliographical and archival
guide to the study of the war, it may be possible to begin its
international coordination at the Sofia meeting of the International Committee, of which the ACHSWW chairman is a vice
president.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
~lliMBERSHIP
DlRECTORY
A directory of the active membership of the ACHSWW will be
prepared for distribution early in 1978. It will give each
member's name, address, and particular areas of interest,
as indicated on the lower part of the form attached to this
newsletter as an unnumbered final page, which may be returned
to the secretariat with dues for calendar year 1978, payable
as of the beginning of January. Academic or military rank
or title and affiliation will be listed as given on the form;
the wish of any member not to be included on the membership
list will, of course, be respected without question.
ACHSWW BOARD ELECTIONS
In November, ballots for the annual election of one-third
of the Board of Directors will be mailed to the membership with
the request that they be returned to the secretariat by midDecember or given to the secretary during the business meeting
in Dallas at the end of the month.
THE ALBERT F. SIMPSON HISTORICAL RESEARCH CENTER
At Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama 36112, the Air University
maintains the Albert F. Simpson Historical Research Center of
the United States Air Force. Because it has become an important center for historical research on the Second World War,
ACHSWW members may be interested in the following overview of
its mission and facilities, provided at the request of the
secretary by the chief of its Historical Reference Branch
(and a committee colleague), Royce C. McCrary, Jr.:
The purpose of the Albert F. Simpson Historical Research Center is to
provide facilities for research in Air Force history. It furnishes
historical and archival services to the Air Force and serves as the
principal repository for Air Force historical records. The Center comes
under the direct control and supervision of the Chief, Office of Air
Force History.
The Center's historical document collection is one of the nation's
most extensive and valuable collection of documentary sources materials
on the history of the United States military aviation. It now contains
approximately 40,000,000 pages of historical material, with approximately 2,000,000 pages added each year. A number of finding aids are
available at the Center. Students of the Second World War will find
a great deal of primary source materials in the doc.ument collection.
These include, among others, Army Air Force World War II unit histories - narratives and supporting documents; personal papers of general
officers and other World War II Army Air Force personnel; historical
10
11
monographs and studies; oral history tapes and transcripts of Air Force
leaders whose service dates to World War II; working papers of major
staff officers of Headquarters, Army Air Forces, during World War II;
records of the Strategic Bombing Survey; and an extensive collection
relating to the World War II German Air Force Force.
The Unit histories are perhaps of greatest va.lue. These have been
submitted periodically since the establishment of the Air Force Historical Program by Presidential order in 1942, The submissions vary in quality
and there were some gaps during World War II. Nevertheless, taken as a
whole, the unit histories furnish good coverage of Army Air Force
activities from 1942 through 1945. Nearly all of the histories are now
unclassified and available on l6-mm microfilm at a nominal cost.
The United States Air Force and Air University encourage qualified
historical researchers to use the historical document collection and
facilities of the Albert F. Simpson Historical Research Center. The
unofficial researchers should realize, however, that the Center I s resources
are limited and that its primary mission is to serve the United States
Air Force. Any researcher desiring information about the Center and use
of its document collection and facilities for research should first submit
inquires to:
Albert F. Simpson Historical Research Center (HOA)
Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama 36112
Telephone:
(205) 293-5958; Autovon 875-5958
He can be assured that every service, consistent with the Center's
mission, will be rendered to him.
EAST ASIAN COLLECTION GRANT
The University of Maryland's College Park Library System has
received a $117,079 grant to preserve the library's valuable
and unique East Asian Collection of Allied Occupation materials.
The grant, awarded by the National Endowment for the Humanities
(NEH), will support a three-year project resulting in the
creation of a fully catalogued and integrated research and
reference collection. The East Asian Collection includes approximately 11,000 titles of newspapers, 11,000 titles of periodicals, 40,000 volumes of books, and numerous other documents.
The project will encompass three stages:
first, completion
of the processing and arranging of newspapers and periodicals
for preservation, including the preparation of holding cards;
second, expeditious processing of the monographic literature,
particularly the publications of social! cultural, and historical value; and third, preparation of the bibliographic catalogs
and a research guide to all of the materials.
During the first
two years, emphasis will be placed on stages one and two.
The proposal for the project was prepared by Jack Siggins,
Project Director, Frank Joseph Shulman, Director of the East
Asia Collection, and Professor Marlene Mayo, chairperson of
the university of Maryland Committee on East Asian studies.
12
THE NAVAL HISTORICAL CENTER
The U. S. Naval History Division has published an annotated
guide to a group of 173 unpublished histories contained in
the Navy Department Library. These manuscripts were prepared
by major naval activities during the World War I I period and
relate to virtually all aspects of naval policy and administration during the war years and immediate pre-war era.
Interested scholars may obtain a copy of the guide by writing to
the Director of Naval History, Building 220, Washington
Navy Yard, Washington, D. C.
20374.
Additionally, the Division recently prepared a 36-reel microfilm publication containing 446 intelligence bulletins issued
by the Joint Intelligence Center, Pacific Ocean Area, during
World War II. These documents contain information on Japanese
areas and equipment together with other types of intelligence
used by U. S. forces during the Pacific War.
Individual
reels in the series are available for a charge of $5.00. A
catalog describing the material can be obtained by contacting
the Director of Naval History at the above address.
THE EISENHOWER INSTITUTE
The£ollowing i temis carried in response t.o a number of
inquiries in connection with the recent conference jointly
sponsored by the ACHSWW and the Eisenhower Institute:
In an Act approved on 30 August 1961, the Eighty-seventh Congress of the
United States of America provided that the Smithsonian Institution shall
be equipped with a "study center for scholarly research into the meaning
of war, its effect on civilization, and the role of the Armed Forces in
maintaining a just and lasting peace by providing a powerful deterrent
to war." The study center so authorized is known as the Dwight D.
Eisenhower Institute for Historical Research, a component of the Smithsonian's National Museum of History and Technology.
The Eisenhower Institute sponsors, supports, and takes part in scholarly
seminars, conferences, meetings, and publications relating to military
history, such as the recent conference on the postwar occupation of Germany
and Japan.
As one of the most important functions, the Eisenhower Institute
serves as a clearinghouse for American and foreign scholars desiring
access to documents pertaining to military history in Washington, D. C.,
at other points in the United States,and in foreign countries.
The Eisenhower Institute carries out its broad mission under the
immediate direction of Dr. Forrest C. Pogue, formerly head of the
George C. Marshall Research Library, Lexington, Virginia, a permanent
director (and formerly chairman) of the ACHSWW.
The Eisenhower Institute welcomes visits and inquiries directed

S. ARMY CMH FELLOWSHIPS
To stimulate unofficial scholarly research in the field of
military history, the united States Army Center of Military
History (CMH) is offering two "Dissertation Year Fellowships"
for academic year 1978-79. Awarded to qualified civilian
graduate students writing dissertations in American military
history, each fellowship carries a $4000 stipend and access
to the Center's facilities and technical expertise. Winners
will be announced in April, 1978, and will begin their residence as "CMH Visiting Research Fellows" in September 1978.
The Center of Military History will undertake to support
the fellow's scholarly activities in the Washington area
by making its collections accessible and its specialists
available insofar as official duties permit. One historian,
usually a senior staff specialist, will serve as adviser
during the fellow's stay.
Review of the dissertation by CMH
will be at the discretion of CMH and the candidate's sponsoring
institution, but responsibility for the control and approval
of the dissertation will remain with the academic institution
and its faculty.
The Center of Military History does require
deposit in its collection of one copy of the completed
dissertation.
For further information and application forms (which must
be completed and submitted, with supporting documents, no
later than 24 January 1978) , write to the Chief Historian,
Center of Military History, Department of the Army, Washington,

BIBLIOGRAPHY
Please note that it is not our purpose here to announce
all current titles on World War II, and that the bibliographical sections of our newsletters therefore do not
cumulatively provide comprehensive coverage of the subject.
What this bibliography represents is rather a checklist of
publications that may otherwise escape notice. The current
list is longer than usual for two reasons: a number of
titles that would ordinarily have been listed in the previous newsletter had to be, as explained there, carried
over to this one. Moreover, two important sets of docu-mentation are described in detail, requiring extensive
entries.
Item I.A.6 is a listing of executive (i.e., secret)
hearings of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from
1947 through 1953. The Historical Series, kindly made available to the ACHSWW Secretariat through the Office of the
Senate Historian, Dr. Richard Baker, is an indispensable complement co the State Department I s Foreign Re.lations Series r3,nd
the House Committee on International Relations' Historical
Series noted in ACHSWW Newsletter 17. As in the case of
the House Committee hearings, these secret presentations,
followed by sometimes bitterly adversary discussion,
reveal the definition of problems, the expression of misgivings, and allegations (and even acknowledgment) of error
and ignorance with an openness rarely encountered in open
hearings, not to mention diplomatic correspondence. After
the first eight topical volumes (titles I.A.6.a-f), the
Senate Historical Series shifted to the chronological approach
reflected in the subsequent five entries.
(The first two
volumes of the chronological series (items I.A.6.i & I.A.6.j)
do overlap, in terms of the period with which they deal,
the years covered by the topical series, but they introduce
new material not published in those eight volumes.)
Current
plans provide for continuation of publicatio~, in annual
volumes, of the record of executive hearings on important
issues as they are declassified after a period of twelve
years.
The second major documentation item, I.A.7, lists
finding aids prepared for the National Archives' publication
of the microfilm records of the series of war crimes trials
from which excerpts of the proceedings were published
in fifteen volumes as "Trials of War Criminals Before the
Nuernberg Military Tribunal Under Control Council Law No.
10" (Washington, D. C.: U. S. Government Printing Office,
1946-49). As the listings below (not to mention the actual
finding aids themselves) suggest, what has hitherto been
published represents only a fraction of the archival
material now available.
Although these special, detailed entries have been
compiled with the listed publications at hand, the majority
of listings in this newsletter, as in previous ones, has been
J
14
15
drawn up on the basis of Library of Congress ~illRC (machinereadable cataloguing) data printouts; these entries are
readily identifiable by the LC Catalogue Number with which,
unless ther:eis cOITment,most of them conclude.
The MARC
data have been made available to the Secretariat, where the
bibliography has been compiled, by Miss Janet Ziegler of
the University Library of the University of California at
Los Angeles. The coopell.ation of Miss Ziegler, a member of the
ACHSWW Board of Directors, and of the UCLA Library is
sincerely appreciated.

Nuernberg War Crimes Trials.
After the conclusion of the
International Military Tribunal (HIT) at Nuernberg,
twelve war crimes trials were conducted in the same city
from 1946 to 1949 before U. S. Military Tribunals. The
records of these twelve cases, which required over 1200
days of court sessions and generated more than 330,000
transcript pages, are being issued as NARS Microfilm
Publications available at a flat rate of $12.00 per roll,
including postage within the United States, Mexico, or
Canada, payable by check to the General Services Administration (NEPS), to be sent to the Cashier, NARS, GSA,
Washington, D. C. 20408, specifying the Microfilm Publication No., e. g., M978 for the Guertner Diaries, as
des cribed in item 7. a. (11) below, and the roll or ro11s

Preparation of the records for microfilming and develop~
ment of finding aids, as described in items 7.a and 7.b
below (available on request from the National Archives
at the address given above), has been undertaken by the
German records staff of the Modern Hilitary Branch of ..the
National Archives.

Descriptive pamphlets have been issued on the records
of all twelve cases, except for VI, the I. G. Farben
(Industrialist) Case; X, the Krupp (Industrialist)
Case; and XI, the Weizsaecker (Ministries) Case. The
former two cases have, however, already been micro~

remaining six records (one in French, one in
English), deal with foreign workdrs and POWs in

of the
German Minister of Justice who served from 1932 to
1941 were largely kept during the 1934-38 period,
recorded on the three microfilm rolls of M978,
by his personal assistant, Hans von Dohnanyi,
brother-in-law of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (like him he
was eventually put to death for his convictions).
The entries are summaries of incoming correspondence and reports dealing with a variety of topics,
particularly the involvement of Nazi Party members in criminal activities, representing a record
and running commentary on injustice and persecution committed by the National Socialist regime.
Entries include such subjects as church persecution (the Confessing Church, Pastor Niemoller,
restrictions on Catholics, persecutions of individual
priests and of Jehovah's Witnesses); concentration
camp torture; sterilization; elimination of Jews
and anti-Nazis; amnesties or quashing proceedings
against party and SA members who ran afoul of the
law; and a number of items regarding the infamous Julius Streicher and his. attacks on individuals.

Irving, David. Hitler's War. New York: Viking Press, 1977.
Pp. xxxiii & 926. D757 .169. In preparing a study of the war
in Europe from what he alleges to have been Hitler's point of
view, Irving, the British author of The Bombing of Dresden
and The Destruction of Convoy PQ.17, has located and exploited
significant new sources, such as the diary of Walther Hewel,
Ribbentrop's liaison officer in Hitler's headquarters. His
extensive Notes (pp. 829-902) do not consistently provide
documentation for suspect statements of fact, not to mention
problematical interpretations. Far from presenting his
monumentum aeris (as he calls it) as just another contribution
to the international historiographical dialogue on the Second
World War, Irving emphatically distances himself from the great
body of postwar scholarship. He claims that Hitler, "the
weakest leader Germany has known in this century" (his stress),
was the victim of insubordination during the war by his
generals, and of their collusion with historians afterwards.
His revisionism culminates in the categorical assertion that
Hitler not only did not order the extermination of the Euro~
pean Jews, but that it was initiated behind his back against
his will--and that for "thirty years, our knowledge of Hitler's
part in the atrocity has rested on inter-historian incest."
In the 4 July 1977 issue of the German newsweekly, Der Spiegel,
Irving is reported to have gone so far, when challenged by
David Frost on a BBC interview for whitewashing Hitler, as to
agree that he was saying, in effect, that Hitler was no worse
than Churchill ("Kecke Revision," pp. 72-74).

of the texture of American life during the war. Using
de£tlydrawn vignettes as his point of departure for
penetrating analysis) Blum explores the extent to which
American society was mobilized in its unprecedented war
effort by a thinly veiled appeal to the self-interest of the
majority--even where this involved (for "necessitarianll
reasons, from President Roosevelt's point of view) all but
rhetorical abandonment not only of social reforms, but
even human rights of minorities. Yet the book is not
a polemic, but an exploration--and a model in style, content, and
methodology of the social history of a nation at war.
