Propaganda weapons or souvenirs? Tourism publications for German servicemen in Europe, Africa and North America during World War II
Historians have long highlighted how Nazi Germany weaponised wartime tourism in occupied France for ideological purposes. Scholars often focus on the bimonthly German guide to the French capital Wohin in Paris: Der deutsche Wegleiter (1940-1944). This article broadens the scope by introducing a range of other tourism publications for German servicemen in France, North Africa, and the United States, including the Kleiner Führer durch Amerika produ…
Prisoners of War and Local Women in Europe and the United States, 1914-1956
Brotherhood in Combat
There is no shortage of books on African Americans in the military or their role in specific conflicts or campaigns. Even the so-called forgotten war in Korea (1950–1953) no longer deserves that label and is now recognized as the moment when a desperate military situation finally led to the end of racial segregation in the American armed forces. Brotherhood in Combat adds little to this familiar narrative. Jeremy P. Maxwell wants to “demonstrate …
Blind Workers against Charity
Founded in 1893, the National League of the Blind was the first nationwide self-represented group of visually impaired people in Britain. This book explores its campaign to make the state solely respo
‘Justice not Charity’
‘We are living in a period in which it would seem that every class in the community is seeking, by combined action, to press upon the nation a recognition of the claims for which they stand,’ the President of the National League of the Blind wrote in 1908. 1 In order to successfully compete with these other causes and bring Parliament to pass a bill which provided direct state aid for blind people outside of the framework of charity, the League h…

Americans, Germans, and War Crimes Justice
The legal prosecution of war criminals in Germany for deeds committed during World War II has attracted a fair degree of historical interest. However, Americans, Germans, and War Crime Justice chooses an interesting and new approach by comparing the way the U.S. military justice system dealt with atrocities committed against its own soldiers and the way it prosecuted American servicemen who illegally killed enemy prisoners of war or civilians dur…
Circulars, Surveys and Support
Whether unemployed protest marches to London in 1936 were worth the effort was a question that was heatedly debated at the time and is still a subject of dispute among historians today. This article takes a fresh look at this question by examining a hitherto ignored source — a TUC survey among those trades councils who were approached by marchers for support in 1936. This survey reveals the widespread support for unemployed protest marches among …

Bronzed Bodies behind Barbed Wire
During the Second World War, some 371,000 German prisoners of war (POWs) were interned in the United States. Historians studying this group have so far mainly focused on the country's adherence to the Geneva Convention and on its reeducation program for German POWs. This article argues that the prisoners' bodies are also a central category for understanding their experience of captivity. For many Americans, the German veteran soldiers seemed to e…
Forgotten Pioneers of the National Protest March
Forgotten Pioneers of the National Protest March
Between the First and the Second World War, national protest marches from the provinces to London or Edinburgh became frequent events. The best remembered of these marches is still the Jarrow 'Crusade' of 1936, although the 'Hunger Marches' of the Communist-dominated National Unemployed Workers' Movement (NUWM) were more frequent, bigger and much more complex. Nevertheless, it is virtually forgotten today that the National League of the Blind inv…
