| Zusammenfassung: | During the Second World War, the United Kingdom faced severe shortages of essential raw materials. To keep its armaments factories running, the British government enlisted millions of people in efforts to recycle a wide range of materials for use in munitions production. Recycling not only supplied British munitions factories with much-needed raw materials - it also played a key role in the efforts of the British government to maintain the morale of its citizens, to secure billions of dollars in Lend-Lease aid from the United States, and to uncover foreign intelligence. However, Britain's wartime recycling campaign came at a cost: it consumed items that would never have been destroyed under normal circumstances, including significant parts of the nation's cultural heritage. Based on extensive archival research, Peter Thorsheim examines the relationship between armaments production, civil liberties, cultural preservation, and diplomacy, making Waste into Weapons the first in-depth history of twentieth-century recycling in Britain |

History, Culture, and Civil Liberties -- The built environment -- Wasting paper -- Requisition -- Victory and postwar During the Second World War, the United Kingdom faced severe shortages of essential raw materials. To keep its armaments factories running, the British government enlisted millions of people in efforts to recycle a wide range of materials for use in munitions production. Recycling not only supplied British munitions factories with much-needed raw materials - it also played a key role in the efforts of the British government to maintain the morale of its citizens, to secure billions of dollars in Lend-Lease aid from the United States, and to uncover foreign intelligence. However, Britain's wartime recycling campaign came at a cost: it consumed items that would never have been destroyed under normal circumstances, including significant parts of the nation's cultural heritage. Based on extensive archival research, Peter Thorsheim examines the relationship between armaments production, civil liberties, cultural preservation, and diplomacy, making Waste into Weapons the first in-depth history of twentieth-century recycling in Britain Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1939-1945 gnd rswk-swf Außenpolitik Geschichte Weltkrieg (1939-1945) World War, 1939-1945 / Great Britain / Equipment and supplies Defense industries / Great Britain / History / 20th century Recycling (Waste, etc.) / Great Britain / History / 20th century Salvage (Waste, etc.) / Great Britain / History / 20th century Scrap metals / Recycling / Great Britain / History / 20th century Cultural property / Great Britain / History / 20th century Civil rights / Great Britain / History / 20th century Recycling (DE-588)4076573-8 gnd rswk-swf Schrott (DE-588)4130660-0 gnd rswk-swf Rüstungsindustrie (DE-588)4115806-4 gnd rswk-swf Waffenproduktion (DE-588)4477603-2 gnd rswk-swf Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien Great Britain / History, Military / 20th century Great Britain / Foreign relations / 1936-1945 Great Britain / Social conditions / 20th century Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 s Waffenproduktion (DE-588)4477603-2 s Schrott (DE-588)4130660-0 s Geschichte 1939-1945 z 1\p DE-604 Recycling (DE-588)4076573-8 s Rüstungsindustrie (DE-588)4115806-4 s 2\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-1-107-09935-7 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-1-107-49209-7 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781316162989 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
