Free Download Bas Von Benda-Beckmann, "German Historians and the Bombing of German Cities: The Contested Air War "
English | ISBN: 9089647813 | 2015 | 292 pages | PDF | 1470 KB
Today, strategic aerial bombardments of urban areas that harm civilians, at times intentionally, are becoming increasingly common in global conflicts. This book reveals the history of these tactics as employed by nations that initiated aerial bombardments of civilians after World War I and during World War II. As one of the major symbols of German suffering, the Allied bombing left a strong imprint on German society. Bas von Benda-Beckmann explores how German historical accounts reflected debates on postwar identity and looks at whether the history of the air war forms a counternarrative against the idea of German collective guilt. Provocative and unflinching, this study offers a valuable contribution to German historiography.

Free Download Demographischer Impact in städtischen Wohnquartieren: Entwicklungsszenarien und Handlungsoptionen (German Edition) by Olaf Schnur
German | July 15, 2010 | ISBN: 3531176501 | 518 pages | PDF | 5.99 Mb
Auf der stadtentwicklungspolitisch so wichtigen Ebene der Wohnquartiere gab es hinsichtlich demographischer Prozesse lange Zeit nur wenige Forschungsarbeiten. Dies ist kein Zufall, denn „das Quartier" entzieht sich einfacher Analysen. Olaf Schnur eröffnet neue inhaltliche und methodische Perspektiven: Anhand einer Untersuchung von vier deutschen Städten exploriert er demographisch und baulich unterschiedlich strukturierte Wohnquartiere in einem kreativen Methoden-Mix (u.a. Szenariotechnik, Delphi-Methode). Daraus werden Entwicklungsszenarien im Rahmen einer Wohnquartierstypologie, „Tools" für Kommunen und die Wohnungswirtschaft („Quartiersentwicklungsmanagement") sowie ein demographisch orientiertes, zyklisches Governance-Modell der Quartiersentwicklung abgeleitet. Einzelnen Quartierstypen lassen sich damit verschiedene Zukunftskorridore zuordnen. Mit Hilfe solcher „strukturierter Zukünfte" kann die Entwicklung der Quartiere gezielter gesteuert und ein zu erwartender Quartierswandel einfacher kommuniziert werden.

Free Download Amieke Bouma, "German Post-Socialist Memory Culture: Epistemic Nostalgia "
English | ISBN: 9463726616 | 2019 | 304 pages | PDF | 2 MB
After German unification, former officers of the GDR state security service united with GDR professors and cultural managers to establish the East German Committee of Associations (OKV). On the basis of encompassing oral history into this complex web of interest organizations and memory clubs, Bouma argues that these activists are driven by an epistemic nostalgia: a longing for the time when their political understanding of the world was seemingly unchallenged. Far from constituting a ‘second life of the Stasi’, the main goal of OKV associations has been to validate the personal biographies of their activists, against the now prevalent view that the GDR was a ‘state of injustice’. While the OKV quickly adapted to the new legal procedures in post-socialist Germany, their staunch defence of the GDR heritage complicates their relation to SED successor party Die Linke and other radical left parties and associations, even when they share practical goals.

What happens when the world around us feels fragmented? How can a person continue to respond positively to their environment when it seems to have lost its internal coherence? These questions lie at the heart of this innovative interpretation of some of the most influential German philosophers of the twentieth century. The key figures in this study are the young Georg Lukács (1885-1971), Ernst Jünger (1895-1998), Ernst Bloch (1885-1977), Theodor Adorno (1903-1969), Max Kommerell (1902-1944), and Siegfried Kracauer (1889-1966).

Free Download Lars Hellwinkel – Hitler’s Gateway to the Atlantic: German Naval Bases in France 1940-1945
Seaforth Publishing | 2014 | ISBN: 1848321996 | English | 248 pages | PDF | 109.36 MB
When the Wehrmacht overran France in May and June of 1940, the German navy’s dream of access to the Atlantic was realized, and Brest, Lorient, St. Nazaire, La Pallice and Bordeaux were converted into naval bases for surface, U-boat and auxiliary cruiser operations, though it is only the heavily fortified U-boat bunkers that have received any attention to date. The book describes the extent to which the French, both locally and at the level of the Vichy Government, cooperated with the German authorities in occupied France to convert the existing ports, and explains how the 45,000 workers of the Todt Organization built the monumental bunkers and other facilities.
