| Zusammenfassung: | This is an innovative account of how the concept of comradeship shaped the actions, emotions and ideas of ordinary German soldiers across the two world wars and during the Holocaust. Using individual soldiers' diaries, personal letters and memoirs, Kühne reveals the ways in which soldiers' longing for community, and the practice of male bonding and togetherness, sustained the Third Reich's pursuit of war and genocide. Comradeship fuelled the soldiers' fighting morale. It also propelled these soldiers forward into war crimes and acts of mass murders. Yet, by practising comradeship, the soldiers could maintain the myth that they were morally sacrosanct. Post-1945, the notion of kameradschaft as the epitome of humane and egalitarian solidarity allowed Hitler's soldiers to join the euphoria for peace and democracy in the Federal Republic, finally shaping popular memories of the war through the end of the twentieth century |

The decline of comradeship, 1945-1995 -- Privatisation -- Integration -- Demonisation -- Conclusion: protean masculinity and Germany's 20th century This is an innovative account of how the concept of comradeship shaped the actions, emotions and ideas of ordinary German soldiers across the two world wars and during the Holocaust. Using individual soldiers' diaries, personal letters and memoirs, Kühne reveals the ways in which soldiers' longing for community, and the practice of male bonding and togetherness, sustained the Third Reich's pursuit of war and genocide. Comradeship fuelled the soldiers' fighting morale. It also propelled these soldiers forward into war crimes and acts of mass murders. Yet, by practising comradeship, the soldiers could maintain the myth that they were morally sacrosanct. Post-1945, the notion of kameradschaft as the epitome of humane and egalitarian solidarity allowed Hitler's soldiers to join the euphoria for peace and democracy in the Federal Republic, finally shaping popular memories of the war through the end of the twentieth century Germany / Heer / Military life / History / 20th century Germany / Heer / History / World War, 1939-1945 Deutsches Reich Wehrmacht (DE-588)26159-2 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1918-1995 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Weltkrieg (1939-1945) Soldiers / Germany / Social conditions / 20th century Soldiers / Germany / Attitudes / History / 20th century Fellowship / History / 20th century Male friendship / Germany / History / 20th century Kameradschaft (DE-588)4532697-6 gnd rswk-swf Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 gnd rswk-swf Soldat (DE-588)4055409-0 gnd rswk-swf Erster Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079163-4 gnd rswk-swf Soldat Motiv (DE-588)4131988-6 gnd rswk-swf Deutschland Deutschland (DE-588)4011882-4 gnd rswk-swf Deutschland (DE-588)4011882-4 g Soldat (DE-588)4055409-0 s Kameradschaft (DE-588)4532697-6 s Geschichte 1918-1995 z 1\p DE-604 Soldat Motiv (DE-588)4131988-6 s 2\p DE-604 Deutsches Reich Wehrmacht (DE-588)26159-2 b Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 s 3\p DE-604 Erster Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079163-4 s 4\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, hardback 978-1-107-04636-8 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, paperback 978-1-107-65828-8 https://doi.org/10.1017/9781107110106 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 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
