Donations to the
World War Two Studies Association
To help defray costs of the WWTSA that
may not be not covered by membership
dues, the Kansas State University
Foundation, which is eligible to receive
contributions that are tax-deductible to the
extent provided by law, has kindly
established a dedicated account to which
donations may be made for the use of the
World War Two Studies Association.
Members and supporters of the association
are invited to send to the secretary, together
with their membership dues, separate
checks or money orders made out to the
"KSU Foundation," indicating (on the
"purpose" line) that they are for "Friends of
the WWTSA" or "Account No. F40752."
I
As in the past, such donations could
facilitate keeping dues, particularly for
students, at a relatively modest level, and
could, in addition, provide welcome means
to cover otherwise unreimbursed
association expenses.
Annual Business Meeting.
The World War Two Studies Association
will hold its annual business meeting in
conjunction with the American Historical
Association conference at the New York
Hilton Hotel in January 1997. The meeting
will be from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, January
3, in Room 507 of the Hilton. All WWTSA
members are welcome to attend.

Oxford University Press is to be congratulated on its publication of translations of the first
three volumes of the projected ten-volume history of Germany in the Second World War being
written under the aegis of the German Defense Ministry's Military History Research Institute.
Moved after unification from Freiburg to Potsdam, this agency of the German government,
headed by a brigadier general on the active list, but staffed largely by highly qualified civil
servants, has provided the base for an internationally recognized team of professional
historians to produce, on a carefully orchestrated collaborative basis, what is clearly emerging
as the most comprehensive, thoroughly documented history of the origins, assumptions, and
course of the Second World War in German perspective. I

6 - Fall 1996
The German Series to Date (volumes 1-4, 5/1, & 6)
Considering inititially the original edition, as of fall 1996, roughly half the projected ten­
volwne series has been published in Gennan. The first four volumes, on the background and
the political and military course of the war in Europe and the Mediterranean to December 1941
are rounded out by the thousand-page first half of the fifth with economic and administration
coverage through 1941 and the sixth, carrying the account, extended to a global scale, to early
1943. 2 These six tomes, with an average length of some 900 pages, do not provide a single,
panoramic narrative; there are well-written narrative segments, but it seems evident, on the
basis of what has been published, that more complete coverage than would otherwise have
been possible has been achieved in the series so far by having built it out of more than two
dozen thematically interlocking, individually written scholarly studies on the most significant
aspects and phases of the background and course of the war. In tenns of scope, coherence, and
intrinsic importance, at least half of these contributions, each the sole responsibility of a single
scholar, could easily stand alone as book-length monographs representing substantial additions
to the field. 3 But the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The value of the individual
contributions comprising each volume and, in turn, the value of each volume as a major
segment in the series is immeasurably enhanced by the skill with which each part has been
designed to complement the next in its meticulously documented treatment of the particular
aspect of the approaching and then unfolding war on which it focuses.
The thematic unity of each multifaceted volume is underlined by well-crafted, substantial
introductory and concluding essays. Each volume includes maps, graphics, an index of names,
and an extensive bibliography with full citations of the works named in the copious footnotes. 4
The resulting coverage, seen as a whole, is not seamless, nor is it intended to be, for the
internal coherence of many of the individual contributions makes a certain amount of
overlapping unavoidable. Moreover, the detailed consideration of intimately related events
from different perspectives inevitably leads to differing and at times contradictory
interpretations. This reflects the fact that, the effectively coordinated scholarly coherence of
the contributions to this series notwithstanding, these volumes are not an official history. The
suggestion that they might be, writes Dr. Manfred Messerschmidt, the chief historian of the
Institute, on the first page of his introduction to volume 1, "is open to misunderstanding. It is
not the [Military History Research] Institute's task to produce work expressing 'the viewpoint
of the Federal Republic of Gennany.' Such a viewpoint does not exist and therefore cannot be
given. By a valuable tradition, the Institute enjoys academic freedom in its work and
publications. The authors on its staff are responsible to the learned world for their research and
conclusions."5
Among the most significant of their conclusions, and one which runs through all the volwnes
published to date, was noted by Peter Paret in his review of the translation of the first volume:
"The dispassionate analysis of the war by a working group of Gennan scholars with
unequalled command of the relevant archival sources constitutes an important voice in support
Fall 1996 - 7
of those historians in the debate [regarding German history, i.e., the Historikerstreit] who
reject efforts of some of their colleagues to deny the singularity of actions that many Germans
carried out in the name of their country during the war."6
Volume 1: The Build-up of German Aggression
The dramatic success of the National Socialist regime in organizing and mobilizing for its
purposes the resources of the German nation during the six and a half years from Hitler's
appointment as chancellor to his unleashing of the Second World War in Europe was not the
work of anyone person, but the consequence of carefully coordinated efforts in many sectors
of the state, the society, and the economy. The first volume of this new history of Germany
and World War II traces these efforts in four parallel studies, each dealing with a fundamental
aspect of the transformation of the Weimar Republic of early winter 1932-33 into the Third
Reich of late summer 1939:
•
the ideological and political mobilization of German society for the war;
•
the rebuilding and preparation for war ofthe German economy;
•
the reestablishment and build-up of the German armed forces; and
•
the restoration of German sovereignty and recovery of Great-Power status.
Each ofthe three volumes in translation under consideration in this review is important, but
the methodological thoroughness with which the first volume covers the four tracks of prewar
history, synthesizing the literature in several languages, has led to it having been recognized,
since its initial publication in German in 1979, as a landmark in contemporary historiography.
For that reason it commands considerably more space in this review than the second and third
translated volumes in the series, although each, in its way, represents an indispensable resource
for the reader for whom the German original is inaccessible.
Part I, "Ideology, Propaganda, and Internal Politics as Preconditions of the War Policy
ofthe Third Reich" (pp. 9-155), by Wolfram Wette, starts with a seventy-two page chapter
on "Militarist and Pacifist Ideologies in the Last Phase of the Weimar Republic," beginning,
after a carefully balanced definition of the problem and explanation of the approach being
taken, with a concise analysis of the National Socialist ideology of violence and Hitler's plans
for aggression.? Regarding the militarism ofthe "nationalist opposition," Wette explains that
"the 'nationalist' opposition' of the Weimar period was ... not only opposed to the republican
parties but to the Weimar form of government and democracy as such," going on to describe,
for example, the organization and programs of the Stahlhelm, the largest and most influential
veterans' organization, and of the right-wing German National People's Party
(Deutschnationale Volkspartei).8 In his account of the "soldierly nationalist" literary
movement that included Werner Beumelburg, Ernst and Friedrich Georg Hinger, and Ernst von
Salomon, among many others, Wette cites a devastating contemporary critique of an anthology
edited by Ernst JUnger (who in 1995 celebrated his hundredth birthday) by the prominent
I
8 - Fall 1996
socialist writer Walter Benjamin, who found by 1930 that "what was developing here beneath
the mask of a wartime volunteer and a post-war mercenary was in fact the unmistakable form
of a Fascist class-warrior, and when these writers speak of the nation, they mean a state ruled
by that class." 19
Wette's survey of the Weimar Republic continues with copiously annotated treatments of the
stance first of the Protestant churches and then of the Catholic church and the (Catholic)
Center PartylO, followed by subchapters on the liberals, on the socialists and trade unions, on
the isolated pacifist movement, and on the German Communist Party and the Comintem ll , and
concluded with an essay on the deluge of books and films on war that began at the end of the
twentiesY
The second chapter, "Propaganda Mobilization for War," begins with a review of National
Socialist propaganda before 1933, describes the control systems established and utilized from
1933 to 1939 in order to achieve "Ideological Gleichschaltung" within Germany, concisely
analyses Hitler's and Goebbels' "peace speeches," 1933-1936, in conjunction with the National
Socialist policy of deception, and considers the ever greater role of the armed forces in
preparations for war signalled, after 1936, with increasingly overt saber-rattling and "advance
disclaiming of war-guilt. II 13 The third and concluding chapter, "Organizing Society in
Preparation for War," systematically analyses the impact of the programs dealt with in the
foregoing chapter, explaining, in specific terms, what happened and how. 14 The discussion of
the military in the second chapter deals with institutional and ideological issues, but in the first
section of the third chapter, Wette writes:
"Within four days offonning his government, the new chancellor set about gaining the co-operation of the chief
anny leaders. He attached key importance to the role of the military in consolidating his power, as is clear from
the fact that in addressing the anny commanders on 3 February 1933 he unfolded to them the essential features
of his whole long-tenn policy. Thus, the military leaders were aware of his plans for conquest and expansion
from the outset." 15
In the conclusion of his third chapter, Wette writes of the regimented Volksgemeinschaft
[National Community):
"The aim of the Hitler regime was, by organizing society in all its aspects, to extend into everyday life the
authoritarian rule of the Fuhrer state. 16 The Volksgemeinschaft propaganda and the educational strategy that went
with it were designed to make this political and social exercise of authority palatable to the population--which did
not constitutute a homogeneous group, sociologically or politically--and compensate it for the effective denial of
its rights. It will probably never be exactly known how far the dictatorship was able in this way to break down
the inner solidarity of particular classes and groups and to substitute an emotional identification with the whole
community, or how far the claim to have done so was mere demagogy. Undoubtedly the uncertainty of law, and
the fear of denunciation and reprisals that was closely bound up with the system of compulsory organization,
contributed in large measure to the resigned attitude of the German people at the outbreak of war. The average,
simple citizen who had welcomed the regime's bloodless victories in foreign affairs between 1933 and 1938, but
who had not completely shed his reservations concerning it and above all did not want a war, found himself
entangled in a web of compulsion, intimidated and incapable of deviating from the system."17
Fall 1996 - 9
Part II, "The National Socialist Economy in Preparation for War," is a 214-page study by
Hans-Erich Volkmann. Its seven chapters trace the transformation of the German economy
from the world depression to the eve of the war, with particular consideration of the effort to
achieve autarky, the measures introduced under the Four-Year Plan, and the role Austria, the
Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, Slovakia, and much of South-east Europe in Germany's
economic mobilization for war. In sophistication and detail Volkmann's contribution is
comparable to the opening part of the volume by his colleague Wette. In 1989, ten years after
the publication of the German edition,Volkmann prepared the following bibliographical note
to be included, at the end of his first chapter, in the English edition, illustrating his approach to
the subject:
"The relationship between National Socialism and the leaders of the economy," Volkmann writes, "continues to
be the subject of new studies. It was also the theme of a series of lectures at the University of Augsburg.
Regrettably, the lecturer narrowed down the problem to the support given to Hitler by big business, without
making clear the motives of economic policy which ultimately led German big business to tum away from the
Weimar Republic and towards National Socialism. The National Socialist alternative to the free market and
world-wide economy, i.e. autarky within a large economic area, as formulated with the co-operation of renowned
representatives of big business, was not fully understood by the author. Cf. Bernecker, "Kapitalismus und
Nationalsozialismus." 18 Neebe, GrofJindustrie, 176 ff., 274 n. 17, questions the thesis that big business ultimately
supported the National Socialist economic policy for its autarky and large-area economic programme. 19 Such a
rash judgement can only be arrived at if one works exclusively from documents without tracing the co-operation
of big business and National Socialism in economic policy beyond the period 1930-3. Neebe lacks the
history-of-ideas approach to the subject. The same flaw is unfortunately exhibited also in the extensive and
worthwhile study by Turner, German Big Business and the Rise ofHitler. 20 Both studies are based exclusively on
documentary sources and the primary and secondary political-history literature, without the least regard to the
literature on economic policy and economic theory of the period analysed by them (cf. also Volkmann,
Wirtschaji im Dritten Reich, i, esp. 23_47).21 They are thus unable to mark out the intellectual background against
which political and economic decisions were made. Both authors tend towards a personalized view of history, but
this cannot ultimately explain why German private industry came to such a speedy arrangement with National
Socialism as soon as the latter came to power, or why during the Third Reich almost complete identity of
economic objectives was achieved, with the result that conflicts remained almost entirely confmed to the
organizational and administrative sphere. Turner is still deeply rooted in the totalitarianism theory. A very
differently structured study is that by Teichert, Autarkie. 22 It reveals the ideological background against which
economic policy, and especially foreign-trade policy, was possible and was being realized in practice. The author
refers in particular to the spate of articles on geopolitical and strategic thinking; this had an influence which
should not be underrated on the formulation of economic, and more especially foreign-trade, theory and
programmes. The study establishes the existence of a link between radically motivated expansionism, in the
sense of living-space theory, on the one hand, and a power-political and eventually economically motivated
expansionism on the other.'123
Volkmann's monographic study provides an invaluable synthesis of international scholarship
on the Third Reich's economic preparations for the war, but many historians, including this
reviewer, will not fault Turner for having spared his readers the kind of discussion of "the
literature on economic policy and economic theory of the period" that Volkmann criticizes him
for having omitted. Had Turner overlaid his well-informed and meticuloulsy documented
political account with a thorough consideration of the often technical and sometimes abstruse
I
10 - Fall 1996
literature on economic policy and theory, his book might well, in the end, have been far less
convincing and accessible than it is. In the last analysis, neither political nor economic history
alone can provide ultimate explanations of the steps that led to the consolidation of National
Socialist economic control in the Third Reich, but Turner's classic is a milestone in our
understanding of the process, and its value is not in the least diminished by the way in which it
is complemented by Volkmann's authoritative study.
Part III, "The Rearmament of the Wehrmacht," by Wilhelm Deist, is a 166-page
monographic account of the build-up of the German armed forces from the end of the First
World War to the beginning of the Second. Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which
had the force of law in Germany, the task of the German army was "limited to 'maintaining
order within the territory [of Germany] and control ofthe frontiers'" (Article 160).24 This
restriction and the 100,000-man personnel ceiling were regarded widely as unacceptable. For
this reason, the grand coalition government under the chancellorship of the Social Democrat
Hermann Muller in October 1928 "accepted responsibility for the secret rearmament measures
of the Reichswehr. The real importance of this development was not the amount of money for
secret rearmament measures from the budget of the defence ministry, and later from the
budgets of other ministries, but rather the undermining of the parliamentary system by the use
of government decrees. In a matter which was very sensitive at home and abroad, the right and
power of the Reichstag to control expenditure were nullified by the concerted action of
executive organs."2S
In his first chapter, largely on the Weimar period, Deist focusses on the important role played
by General Wilhelm Groener, who served as defense minister (Wehrminister) from January
1928 to April 1932 (when Franz von Papen became chancellor and General Schleicher defense
minister). As Ludendorffs successor at German supreme headquarters at the end of the war, he
had initiated the understanding between the army and Friedrich Ebert's government after the
fall of the monarchy, and had served in the cabinets of three chancellors in the early 1920s.
"Uniquely cognizant of the political, economic, technical, and military problems of warfare,"
Deist writes, "... he made the first real attempt to make the Reichswehr an integrated military
instrument of the general policy of treaty revision as formulated by Stresemann."26 As minister
of interior as well as defense, Groener imposed a ban on the activities of the National Socialist
paramilitary organization, the SA (Sturmabteilungen, storm troopers), which was opposed by
General Kurt Schleicher, the ranking officer in the ministry, and, on the appointment of Franz
von Papen as successor of Chancellor Heinrich Bruning on 1 June 1932, Groener's successor
as defense minister.
The course toward rearmament set by Groener was not changed by Schleicher, but was
pursued more overtly during five and a half months as defense minister. During his own
chancellorship, however, from early December 1932 to late January 1933, Schleicher was
increasingly criticized, within the officer corps of the German army, because of his "frequent
use of the Reichswehr for political tasks. For this reason," writes Deist, "the appointment of
Fall 1996 - 11
Hitler as chancellor and Blomberg as defence minister ... appeared to many officers as in
some degree a return to nonnal conditions, which they had long desired."27
"In February 1933 Hitler had described the build-up of the Wehnnacht as the most important
precondition for re-establishing Gennany's position as a great power," but, writes Deist at the
beginning of his third and concluding chapter, "The Wehnnacht of the Third Reich" (following
his accounts, in the second, of the reannament of the anny and navy and the build-up of the
Luftwaffe), "the present survey of the individual stages of Gennan reannament has shown that
the anning of the Wehnnacht as a whole was anything but planned and orderly. Rather, it was
essentially an uncoordinated expansion of the individiual services. There was no Wehnnacht
annament programme as such.... The services made their basic decisions without consulting .
. . each other."28 This continued until 1938, when Hitler abolished the position of Minister of
War and established the High Command of the Wehnnacht (OKW) as his instrument of
personal command. In his final chapter, Deist shows the relationship between the restructuring
of the high command of the anned forces and their Gleichschaltung, reviews Hitler's
increasing role in operational planning from the annexation of Austria to the beginning of the
war, and concludes that the Gennan military leaders' "tendency to concentrate on technical and
tactical questions of their own services implied a renunciation of responsibility in the larger
question of the means and ends of military policy, a responsibility of which many were no
longer aware. But this tendency also implied the self-degradation of the senior officers to mere
recipients of orders. In this way the Wehnnacht became an instrument in the hands of the
dictator. "29
Part IV, "Foreign Policy and Preparation for War," by Manfred Messerschmidt, the
concluding segment of the volume, is a magisterial 175-page account representing a state-of­
the-art synthesis of scholarship on the political and diplomatic background of the war,
including relevant considerations in the foregoing parts of the volume, and taking the more
important secondary literature into account in concise explanatory footnotes. 3D "The last days
and hours before the outbreak of war," Messerschmidt writes, "show Hitler vacillating between
the attempt to keep Britain out and the detennination, expressed no doubt in an exaggerated
manner, to fight on two fronts ifhe had to. 31 A clear line of reasoning is hard to find.
Mussolini offered mediation, but Hitler would not have it."32
The thirteen-page concluding essay, signed by the four authors of the volume, ends with the
following paragraph:
"The step-by-step realization of Hitler's continental programme--historically speaking, a new attempt to establish
Gennany as a great power and a world power--entered a new phase with the Gennan attack on Poland on 1
September 1939. The expectation that the subjugation of Poland would provoke only fonnal protests from the
Western powers was shattered by their declaration of war on Gennany on 3 September. Twenty-five years after
the outbreak of the First World War, the lights in Europe were again extinguished. A military machine was set in
motion whose destructive power exceeded anything previously known and affected almost every comer of the
European continent. This catastrophe was the result of policies pursued by Gennany since 1933, which were
I
12 - Fall 1996
aimed at expansion and war. These policies were not only based on Hitler's Lebensraum ideology, but were also
an expression of the claims to power and influence that groups of major importance in Germany had been
advancing without interruption since the tum of the century."33
Volume 2: Germany's Initial Conquests in Europe
Part I, "Politics and Warfare in the First Phase of the German Offensive," by Bernd
Stegemann, the first of the nine parts in this 444-page volume, is a twenty-five page overview
of international relations, diplomacy, and grand strategy during the first year of the war in
Europe, concluding with consideration of the question of Hitler's decision to attack the Soviet
Union. 34
Part II, "Action Plans and Situation Assessments of the Luftwaffe and Navy before the
Outbreak of War," includes a chapter by Klaus A. Maier, "Total War and Operational Air
Warfare," with a concise review of German air-war theory and an extensively documented
discussion of "Situation Assessment and Mission-P1anning,"35 followed by an overview, by
Bernd Stegemann, of "Germany's Second Attempt to Become a Naval Power. "36
Part III, "Hitler's First Blitzkrieg and Its Consequences for North-eastern Europe," by
Horst Rohde, is a five-chapter study that includes consideration of the Russo-Finnish Winter
War of 1939-1940. 37 Clear black-and-white maps are based on, but not equal to, the colored
maps of the original German edition.
Part IV, "The First Phase of the War at Sea up to the Spring of 1940," by Bernd
Stegemann, provides coverage of the war in the Baltic, the North Sea, and the Arctic, and of
the mine war as well as the submarine war. 38
Part V, "Securing the Northern Flank of Europe," includes chapters on German and Allied
strategy by Klaus Maier, and on the occupation of Denmark and Norway by Bernd
Stegemann. 39
Part VI, "The Battle for Hegemony in Western Europe," a hundred-page survey by Hans
Umbreit, has a subchapter on the military opposition to an extension of the war and a chapter
on the policies and defense efforts of the neutrals, Belgium, Holland, and Luxemburg. 40 In his
account of the campaign in the West, Umbreit devotes considerable space to the question
whether (and if so, to what extent), as the British retreated to Dunkirk, "the Germans failed to
exploit their favourable situation systematically."41 He notes that on 23 May 1940, Kleist,
whose armored forces had reached the Channel, "reported that more than half of his tanks were
out of action: his formation had lost a lot of its fighting-power and would not be able to stand
up to a major counter-attack."42 Hitler, who visited his field commander's headquarters the next
day, "concurred with Rundstedt's view that it would be more useful to leave the further attack
Fall 1996 - 13
to the infantry and to halt and bring together the badly worn-out armoured forces."43 Umbreit
does not rule out the possibility that Hitler may briefly have thought in terms of meeting half­
way those in England, who, unlike Churchill, might have come to terms with him, but he
leaves no doubt that he regards a basic consideration (if not the overriding one) to have been
that the "German armoured formations were to be saved as far as possible. They had new tasks
awaiting them--in the next few weeks and perhaps again in the not too distant future. "44
Umbreit concludes his treatment of the German victory in the West with subchapters on Italy's
entry into the war, the German-French armistice, and the initial steps in the establishment of
"The 'New Order' in Western Europe."45
Part VII, "The Operational Air War until the Battle of Britain," by Klaus A. Maier,
provides a concise overview. 46
Part VIII, "The Second Phase of the War at Sea (until the Spring of 1941)," by Bernd
Stegemann, covers the naval war from the spring of 1940 to the spring of 1941, a period
during which German naval units, as a consequence of the fall of France, were able to operate
from French Atlantic portS. 47
Part IX, "Direct Strategy against Britain," opens with Hans Umbreit's treatment of
Churchill's determination to continue the war and Hitler's plans and preparations to land in
England, followed by Karl A. Maier's account of the Battle of Britain and a concluding essay
by Umbreit on Hitler's return to an indirect strategy against England. 48
Volume II ends with an essay entitled "Germany's Situation in the Late Autumn of 1940,"
which concludes with the following assessment of Hitler's dilemma, once it became clear that
the war would continue despite his successful campaigns against Poland, in Scandinavia, and
in the West:
"The Mediterranean had been left to Mussolini; the German admirals pressed for a campaign there, and the
generals would have preferred it to fighting in the east, but Hitler did not regard this as a sound alternative. He
refused to envisage doing more than come to the rescue ofMussolini, whose 'parallel war' had proved a disaster,
because, while a determined push in the Mediterranean area seemed to promise success for a time, it could not be
decisive for the outcome of the war. Hitler continued to postpone the solution of the 'problem of Britain.' As he
saw it, another 'blitz campaign' in the east would bring back the war to the direction orginally intended;
moreover, by removing Germany's last potential adversary on the Continent it would destroy British hopes and
thus put an end to the conflict. 'It followed, however, that if Hitler failed in this, he would have lost not merely a
campaign, but the war itself.'''49
Volume 3: The Mediterranean, South-east Europe, and North Africa, 1939­
1941 (From Italy's declaration ofnon-belligerence to the entry ofthe United
States into the war)
I
14 - Fall 1996
This large, five-part volume carries the account of the war in the east to the eve of the German
invasion of the Soviet Union, and in the west to the eve of the American entry into the conflict.
Part I, "Political and Military Developments in the Mediterranean Area, 1939-1940," by
Gerhard Schreiber, is a 294-page study that begins with a chapter on Mussolini's "non­
belligerence." The second chapter is an account of Italy's entry into the war and its initial
consequences. The third is a study of the strategic dilemma of the Axis in the summer and fall
of 1940. Chapter 4 deals not only with Hitler's ideas about German expansion, but also with
"the aspirations of German ruling circles at the time" regarding a colonial empire. 50
Part II, "Germany, Italy and South-east Europe: From Political and Economic
Hegemony to Military Aggression," a 144-page study, is also by Gerhard Schreiber. In the
first chapter, "Unequal Heirs of the First World War," he reviews the interwar history of
Albania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Greece. In the second he examines German and Italian
policy--and rivalry--in the region until the outbreak of the war, and the moves toward a
"Balkan Bloc" after its outbreak. The third chapter, an account of the background, course and
impact of the Italian Balkan campaign from its beginning until the eve of German intervention,
is entitled "Mussolini's Invasion of Greece: The Beginning of the End of Italy's Great-Power
Status."51
Part III, "German Intervention in the Balkans," by DetlefVogel, 105 pages in length,
begins with a review of German Balkan policy from autumn 1940 on, and focusses on
preparations for German intervention in GreeceY The second chapter begins with an account
of the signing of the Tripartite Pact by Yugoslavia on 25 March 1941, the coup d'etat that
followed two days later, and Hitler's announcement to his military leaders, within a few hours,
"that he was determined to crush Yugoslavia and eliminate her as a state as soon as possible."53
The third chapter is on the German campaign in Yugoslavia and Greece and the fourth on the
German airborne capture of Crete and the British evacuation of many of their forces, though
only at the cost of heavy losses to the Royal Navy in the eastern Mediterranean. 54
Part IV, "Politics and Warfare in 1941," by Gerhard Schreiber, eighty-two pages in length,
begins with an essay on "The Anglo-American Association and Its Consequences for British
Strategy,"55 and continues with an important three-part essay on "Hitler's Strategic
Deliberations in Connection with the [Planned] Attack on the Soviet Union. "56 dealing in tum
with his "Attempts to create a Forefield in the West," epitomized by the Franco-German
agreements of May 1941 reached in Paris between Admiral Jean-Franyois Darlan on the one
hand and General Walter Warlimont and Ambassador Otto Abetz on the other,57 with German
strategy in the Middle East, culminating in German intervention in the Anglo-Iraqi War of
May 1941 and its sequel, the five-week Syrian War of June-July 1941,58 and with "Planning
for the Period after Barbarossa. "59
Fall 1996 - 15
Part V, "The Halo-German Conduct ofthe War in the Mediterranean and North
Africa," by Bernd Stegemann, a 112-page study, begins with a detailed account of the British
offensives in North and East Africa, leading to the conquest of Tobruk in Cyrenaica (in
western Libya) and of Italian East Africa, enabling Emperor Haile Selassie to return to
Ethiopia. 60 The second chapter deals with the impact of German intervention in the naval and
air war in the Mediterranean,61 the third with the Axis reconquest of Cyrenaica but not
Tobruk,62 the fourth with the Sollum Front,63 the fifth with the naval and air war in the
theater,64 and the sixth and final chapter with Operation Crusader, the British counter­
offensive. 65
The "Conclusion" of the third volume closes with the following reflection on the historical
importance of the war in the Mediterranean: "It first became evident there how small the
aggressors' room for manouvre had become as the war continued its course after the late
autumn of 1940. The events of 1941 provided the first concrete signs that the Axis no longer
held the initiative; in the second half of 1942 this fact could not longer be denied, and by the
first half of 1943 it had become obvious. In the words of contemporary observers, in the
summer of that year Germany definitely ceased to be the 'hammer' and became the 'anvil."'66
CONCLUSION
The first three volumes of Germany and the Second World War provide the finest
coverageavailable in English on the background, origins, and course, well into 1941, of World
War II in Europe from the German perspective. They do so, moreover, in readable form, with
copious references to the relevant international scholarly literature, which is listed in their
extensive bibliographies. These volumes, and those that will succeed them in the series as they
are translated and published, will be indispensable to serious students of the World War II era
and they consequently should be made available in college, university, and major public
libraries.
Notes
1. On the Military History Research Institute's origins, mission, and structure, see the report by
Roland G. Foerster published in the WWTSA Newsletter in fall 1992 (No. 48, pp. 21-25),
reprinted from the summer 1992 issue of Army History (Washington, D.C.: U.S. Army Center
of Military History). The institutional and historiographical context in which the ten-volume
series on the history of the German Reich (i.e., traditional Germany as a whole) and World
War II is being written is concisely explained by Earl F. Ziemke in his review article on the
first three volumes in German (vols. 1,2 and 4), "Germany and World War II: The Official
History?," Central European History, vol. XVI (1983), pp. 398-407.

11. Wette notes that German foreign minister Gustav Stresemann, who in 1926 shared the
Nobel Peace Prize with his French counterpart, Aristide Briand, sharply attacked the German
pacifist leader (and chairman of the German Peace Society [Deutsche Friedensgesellschaft],
1914-1929) Ludwig Quidde, who in 1927 shared the Nobel Peace Prize with the president of
the French Human Rights League [Ligue des Droits de l'Homme], Ferdinand Buisson, for
damaging revelations concerning the secret German rearmament program that Stresemann
supported. This was by no means the first time the historian Quidde (former executive
secretary of the Prussian Historical Institute in Rome) had aroused ire in Berlin, for a
generation earlier his name had become a household word as the author of a twenty-page essay
reprinted as a pamphlet over two dozen times in the year of its publication, Caligula. Eine
Studie iiber romischen Ciisarenwahnsinn ["Caligula: A Study of Roman Imperial Insanity"]
(Leipzig: W. Friedrich, 1894). Ostensibly a carefully documented scholarly article on a first­
century Roman Emperor, it was so transparent a satirical attack on the already controversial
(not to mention vulnerable and sensitive) Emperor William II that Quidde was imprisoned for
three months for the crime of lese majeste. After the fall of the monarchy, the essay was
reissued in a sixty-three-page booklet, together with the author's reminiscenses and a
bibliography: Caligula. Eine Studie iiber romischen Ciisarenwahnsinn, ergiinzt durch
Erinnerungen des Verfassers: 1m Kampfgegen Ciisarismus und Byzantinismus ["Caligula--A
