Out of Sight, Out of Mind
This article explores the relationship between wartime captivity and the production of medical knowledge through the phenomenon of ‘barbed wire disease’. This was a term used by First World War POWs and internees themselves to describe symptoms of depression and related neurological disorders. The Swiss surgeon Adolf Lukas Vischer borrowed it for the title of a book he wrote in 1918 suggesting that the spatial and temporal peculiarities of camp l…
MI5, the Security State and Communist Political Refugees from Nazism in Second World War-Era Britain
This article examines the British Security Service’s monitoring of Gustav Beuer, a Sudeten German communist and former member of the Czechoslovak parliament who arrived in London as a refugee in 1938 and set up home there until 1946. Although from a friendly country, Beuer was placed under continuous surveillance and was interned, together with five of his compatriots, in 1940–41. The article uses this case to challenge previous interpretations o…

From the Wartime State of Siege to Weimar’s Early Years
One of the paradoxical – but seldom recognised – aspects of the wartime state of emergency in Germany between 1914 and 1918 is that it went hand in hand with a simultaneous strengthening of parliamentarism. The Reichstag not only approved the granting of extraordinary powers to the unelected Bundesrat (Federal Council) to ‘order all necessary measures required to avert economic harm’ for the duration of the conflict, allowing in effect a temporar…
Introduction
This article introduces the theme of states of emergency during the First World War era, and provides details on the 13 different case studies presented in the special issue. It makes the case for seeing states of emergency as being shaped by historical experience as opposed to emerging from the abstract reasoning of legal principle and moral philosophy. Equally, though, it recognises that moments of exception do have legal and philosophical, as …

Macht der Ausnahme
The Reich Finance Ministry (RFM) was founded on 21 March 1919 as successor to the old, under-empowered Reich Treasury Office (Reichsschatzamt). Its immediate remit was to manage the transition from war to peace ‘in a democratic setting’ (p. 13). Between then and 1945, as Stefanie Middendorf shows in this essential new study, the new ministry’s real and imagined authority, its ability to dictate measures concerning taxation and expenditure, was ba…
A Forgotten Minority
This article examines the expulsion of Germans abroad (Auslandsdeutsche) from Allied countries and colonial empires in the aftermath of the First World War, and their somewhat negative reception in Weimar Germany in 1919-20. It does so against the background of what it identifies as a re-territorialisation of German national identity, beginning during the war itself and leading to an abrupt reversal of previous trends towards the inclusion of Ger…
Ein Laboratorium des Ausnahmezustands
Der Beitrag untersucht Kontinuitäten im Einsatz von Schutzhaft als Mittel des Ausnahmezustands zwischen 1914 und 1923 mit einem Fokus auf die beiden größten deutschen Staaten, Preußen und Bayern. Er behandelt Schutzhaft nicht nur als juristisches Konstrukt, sondern als einen neuen, experimentellen Raum für exekutives Handeln gegen eine Bandbreite von imaginierten, sowohl sozialen wie politischen „internen Feinden“. Der Beitrag argumentiert, dass …

Hitlers Parteigenossen
To scholars of early twentieth-century Germany, the political scientist Jürgen Falter is known principally for his important contributions on voting patterns in Weimar-era elections, and especially for his book Hitlers Wähler (C.H. Beck, 1991). Among his many findings in this earlier study, two stand out. Firstly, he confirmed the shift away from identifying National Socialism as a protest movement of the ‘panicked’ lower middle classes or Mittel…
Der umkämpfte Krieg
‘A kind of present from Donald Tusk to Angela Merkel’ (p. 226). This is just one of the ways in which Law and Justice party (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, PiS) chairman Jarosław Kaczyński, now Polish Prime Minister, chose to denounce the newly opened Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk, commissioned by Tusk when he was Prime Minister in 2008. Over the past decade, Kaczyński had similarly suggested that the museum was intended to offer a ‘German’ v…
Thomas W. Goldstein, Writing in Red
Eastern Europe in 1968
Stibbe provides a detailed analysis of East German reactions to the Prague Spring and Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. His main emphasis is on the ideological challenge that Dubček’s reforms posed to the GDR variant of state socialism, and he places this within the broader framework of triangular relations between East Germany, West Germany and Czechoslovakia. He explores East German leader Walter Ulbricht’s role in the broader War…
Nach dem ‘Großen Krieg’
Steffen Kailitz has undoubtedly chosen a good time to edit a volume of essays charting the historical triumph of democracy in Europe at the end of the First World War and its traumatic demise over the next two decades. In his view, there are some unsettling parallels between the hopes of 1918/19 and the despair of 1939 on the one hand, and the liberal certainties of 1989/90 and populist revolt of 2016/17 on the other. When one considers the rise …

Women's International Activism during the Inter-War Period, 1919-1939
This article explains why women’s international activism in the inter-war period should be a subject of scholarly interest, and also discusses the myriad and vibrant forms it could take. For some women campaigners, international work—whether through established national women’s movements or via separate, radical pacifist organisations—was crucial for the prevention of war and the maintenance of world peace. However, this was not the only motivati…
Peace at any Price
In early March 1939 the Nazi women's leader (Reichsfrauenfühererin) Gertrud Scholtz-Klink made a little-known visit to London at the invitation of the Women’s League of Health and Beauty and the Anglo-German Fellowship. Taking place against the background of intense efforts to maintain peace, and growing expectations of war, the visit prompted a variety of responses from British women activists. Through analysing these responses, as well as exami…
The Internment of Civilians by Belligerent States during the First World War and the Response of the International Committee of the Red Cross
Between 1914 and 1918 several hundred thousand ‘enemy aliens’ were interned by the belligerent nations of the first world war, and many more civilians were trapped behind enemy lines in their own countries. This article looks at the efforts made by the International Committee of the Red Cross and other relief agencies to alleviate the plight of non-combatants held in internment camps. It also examines the dilemmas faced by neutral inspection team…

Enemy Aliens, Deportees, Refugees: Internment Practices in the Habsburg Empire, 1914–1918 This article explores both the historiography and history of civilian internment in the Habsburg Monarchy between 1914 and 1918, with particular emphasis on the Austrian half of the empire (Cisleithania). It is often assumed that Austro-Hungarian policies towards enemy civilians and «enemies within» were simply a milder variant of a common pattern of intoler…
Captivity, Forced Labour and Forced Migration in Europe during the First World War
The notion of the First World War as 'the great seminal catastrophe' (Urkatastrophe) of the twentieth century is now firmly established in historiography. Yet astonishingly little has been written about the fate of non-combatants in occupied and non-occupied territory, including civilian internees, deportees, expellees and disarmed military prisoners. This volume brings together experts from across Europe to consider the phenomena of captivity, f…
In and Beyond the Racial State
This article provides a comprehensive overview and critical discussion of recent scholarship on gender issues in Nazi Germany. In particular it examines how gendered approaches have both contributed to, and been shaped by, new research in three key areas: the formation of the Nazi Volksgemeinschaft (national or people's community); Nazi understandings of ‘space’ and empire; and memory and the legacy of the National Socialist regime. The article a…

The Fischer Controversy Over German War Aims in the First World War and Its Reception by East German Historians, 1961–1989
The Fischer controversy of the 1960s was a major landmark in post-war West German historiography. Surprisingly few historians to date have devoted their attention to the East German reception of Fischer's work, however. This article seeks to fill this gap by looking at some of the critical reviews published in East German academic journals and also at internal records from the Socialist Unity Party archive. Particular emphasis is placed on the pe…

The Last Revolutionaries
A Question of Retaliation? The Internment of British Civilians in Germany in November 1914
In early November 1914 the German military authorities ordered the internment of all British male civilians aged between 17 and 55 then still resident in Germany. Over four thousand British subjects were affected by this measure. This article examines the domestic political background to the decision in favour of internment, focusing on the role of public opinion and of competing voices within the German war leadership. It also looks at attempts …

Far less has been written about his role as a leading figure in the German Communist Party in Britain between 1936 and 1944, and his work for the US Strategic Bombing Survey in 1944–5, activities which later came back to haunt him when he was the subject of a major inquiry launched by the Central Party Cont…

Barbed Wire Diplomacy
The ‘realist’ theory of international relations holds that states ‘have neither permanent friends, nor permanent enemies; just permanent interests’, a maxim usually attributed to Lord Palmerston. This raises the issue of whether belligerent states during the Second World War were permanently interested in the fate of their servicemen taken prisoner by the opposite side during the course of the fighting. Neville Wylie, in his new study, answers th…

Weimar Publics/Weimar Subjects
As Kathleen Canning puts it in her introduction to this anthology of essays on Weimar political culture, what made this era stand out as a unique period in German history was its ‘bold embrace of living in the future tense’ (p. 2). This can be seen in the emergence of new publics: new voters, new consumers, new readers, new audiences, new activists and new street fighters; and of new subjects: welfare, sexuality, leisure, mass entertainment and m…
Reactions from the Other Germany
This article seeks to understand East German reactions to the Fischer controversy within the broader context of German-German historiographical relations during the Cold War. For an interpretive framework it draws on Christoph Kleßmann’s notion of the history of the two Germanys after 1945 as being the record of an asymmetrical process of ‘intertwining and differentiation’ ( Verflechtung und Abgrenzung). With varying degrees of scepticism and ent…
