Veterinary Collaboration and Modernization in the French Animal By-Products Industry, 1940–1944
Scholars studying the Second World War animal by-products industry have underestimated the systematic nature and broad scope of German intervention. This article examines how the close co-operation between French and German veterinarians, reflecting a shared professional interest in animal slaughter and disease control, facilitated the large-scale restructuring and modernization of French carcass disposal under Nazi occupation from 1940 to 1944. …
The Transformation of Cattle Feet to Torpedo Oil
In January 1940, the Wehrmacht had only a two-month supply of torpedo oil, an irreplaceable lubricant derived solely from the feet and shinbones of slaughtered cattle. The Wehrmacht resolved this shortage by appointing the man responsible for its supply during the First World War: Alfons Knetsch. This case study shows not only the importance of knowledge transfer from one war to the other but also how competing industrial interests shaped Nazi re…
Are Carcasses Political? German Veterinarians and the Modernization of Rendering Technology, 1864-1940
The regulations dealing with animal death have undergirded the autarkic aspirations of governments as diverse as revolutionary France, Nazi Germany, and the German Democratic Republic. Three recent works on "fascist," "communist," and "capitalist" pigs reveal parallels between the industrialized slaughter of animals in Germany's twentieth-century authoritarian regimes and the capitalist slaughter system in nineteenth-century America's "red meat r…
Tuer la vache et récupérer la carcasse
En février 1940, l’Allemagne est presque à court de métaux pour subvenir aux besoins en munitions de la Wehrmacht. De mai à juin 1940, des équipes de « commandos économiques » suivent les troupes allemandes au Luxembourg, aux Pays-Bas, en Belgique et en France dans le but de réquisitionner les réserves en métal de ces pays. Celles-ci sont soit à destination de l’Allemagne, soit pour l’usage des usines locales. Hermann Göring et Georg Thomas décid…
Rethinking waste within business history
Waste and its reuse have constituted an important field of economic activity for most of human history, including modern times. While the collected articles of this special issue exemplify the significance that waste salvage had in mobilising resources in Europe, Asia, and North America in World War II, this introduction situates these cases in a long-term perspective. It explores the continuities and ruptures inside the structures, markets, and …
Korean kuzuya , ‘German-style control’ and the business of waste in wartime Japan, 1931-1945
This article shows how wartime conditions transformed the waste business in Japan. Hygiene regulations from 1900 to the 1920s followed by an influx of Korean migrant labour disrupted the traditional waste trade. The conquest of Manchuria opened up new export markets for Japanese waste and increased the demand for munitions, causing scrap metal prices to skyrocket. These new economic conditions created opportunities for Korean-owned waste business…
Les Lillois occupés face aux réquisitions allemandes de métaux, 1914-1918
De 1914 à 1918, l'armée allemande procède à des réquisitions de métaux aussi bien en Allemagne qu'en Europe occupée, ce qui implique des populations assujetties à l'effort de guerre de leur ennemi et viole directement la Convention de La Haye. Face aux demandes allemandes d'objets métalliques à transformer en obus et balles, les habitants des territoires occupés doivent choisir entre obéir ou défier l'occupant. En s'appuyant sur des témoignages p…
New Caledonian Nickel and the Origins of the Axis Alliance, 1931–40
In a 25 August 1940 telegram, the Vichy colonial ministry ordered New Caledonia to turn over its entire nickel production to Japan. This decision, announced in Nouméa on 3 September 1940, has been interpreted by memoirists and historians alike as a ‘camouflaged’ military invasion and a trigger for the successful bloodless coup that brought New Caledonia to the side of Free France 16 days later. The telegram’s full text, however, suggests an equal…
Tokyo Rosalie? A Franco-Japanese Envoy and Entrepreneur in the South Pacific, 1890-1959
The unlikely story of Berthe Rosalie Kitazawa Fouque, a Franco-Japanese businesswoman active in New Caledonia from 1937 to 1941, offers a novel way to connect the economic, political, and social histories of the Second World War in the South Pacific. Her story also illustrates a largely forgotten episode of French colonial history: the successful assimilation and integration of a New Caledonian Japanese community from 1892 to 1941. As the unlikel…
Steel of Victory, Scrap of Defeat
This article traces the implementation, execution, and results of the French Ministry of Armaments’ scrap iron collection drive from September 1939 to June 1940. This collection drive was a belated effort to mobilize patriotic sentiment and raw materials for France’s war effort. By the late 1930s, the French government realized that it did not have — and, more importantly, would not be able to acquire — enough metal to meet ambitious armament pla…
More Valuable than Gold
A central component of the Japanese government’s foreign policy after the First World War was its desire to control and secure access to strategic minerals necessary for munitions production. Two-thirds of the world supply of these strategic minerals—including metals like copper, lead, molybdenum, nickel, tungsten and zinc—was primarily under the commercial control of American and British interests. American geologists and foreign policy experts …
Récupérez!’ The German Origins of French Wartime Salvage Drives, 1939–1945
This article examines the origins, implementation and results of salvage drives carried out in wartime France from 1939 to 1945. In post-war accounts – including memoirs and local histories of the occupation – these salvage drives were understood simply as wartime frugality, a logical response to wide-spread shortages. Yet a careful study of the records of both the French Ministry of Armaments and Vichy's Service de la Récupération et de l'Utilis…
