Preparing for war by fostering alpine winter tourism
Neither in historiography of alpine (winter) tourism nor in that on the First World War in mountainous regions has (Austro-)Hungarian mountaineer and officer Hermann Czant received a lot of attention, although he was amongst those, who promoted alpine winter tourism not least as an important training for military operations in a war in mountainous terrain such as the Alps or the Carpathians. This article analyses the ideas of Hermann Czant on the…

In diesem Band werden seine beiden Forschungsgebiete durch namhafte Autorinnen und Autoren zusammen…
Les prisonniers de guerre allemands
Fabien Théofilakis’ book on German prisoners of war in France between 1944 and 1949 begins with the short story of an Alsatian shopkeeper, who had taken on a German prisoner of war in 1946 to help with his daily work. Everything had gone well and the German prisoner even ate at the family table, until a man from the French interior grassed on him. In order to appease public opinion, he had henceforward to have his breakfast in a public location. …

Recht statt Rache oder Rache durch Recht

Unlawful Warfare is Uncivilised’

Not much, however, is known about the debate on the issue before and during the First World War. This article tries to explore the debate among Western European jurists and publicists on the issue in the period between 1872 and 1918, linking it to the idea of civilised behaviour in wartime, as many jurists and …

Although the issue of the punishment of war crimes had been discussed for a long time before the Balkan Wars and the First World War, it only rose to a place of prominence in the context of these wars. The present article sets out to analyze the international debate amongst jurists and other academics in the period of 1912 to 1918 looking at whether violations of the laws and customs of war merited prosecution at all, what kinds of crimes were co…
Raphael Lemkin and the international debate on the punishment of war crimes (1919–1948)
Common Doctrine Rather than Secret Staff Conversations
Ever since the European Powers guaranteed Switzerland’s neutrality in 1815 the Swiss government and military leadership have always officially proclaimed to uphold its neutrality against any foreign interference. Nevertheless the development of Swiss military doctrine has always been strongly influenced by the military development in neighbouring countries, although Swiss officials would never have accepted such an influence publicly. The militar…
