Hardback. Condizione: New. In 1947 German Field Marshal Albert Kesselring was tried and convicted of war crimes committed during World War II. He was held responsible for his troops having executed nearly 9,000 Italian citizens - women, children, elderly men - in retaliation for partisan attacks. His conviction, however, created a real dilemma for the United States and western Europe. While some sought the harshest punishments available for anyone who had participated in the war crimes of the Nazi regime, others believed that the repatriation of alleged war criminals would help secure the allegiance of a rearmed West Germany in the dangerous new Cold War against the Soviet Union. Kerstin von Lingen's close analysis of the Kesselring case reveals for the first time how a network of veterans, lawyers, and German sympathizers in Britain and America achieved the commutation of Kesselring's death sentence and his eventual release - reinforcing German popular conceptions that he had been innocent all along and that the Wehrmacht had fought a 'clean war' in Italy. But von Lingen shows that Kesselring bore much greater guilt for civilian deaths than had been proven in court - and that the war on the southern front had been far from clean. Von Lingen weaves together strands of the story as diverse as Winston Churchill's ability to mobilize support among British elites, Basil Liddell Hart's need to be recognized as an important military thinker, and the Cold War fears of the 'Senators' Circle' in the United States. Through this rich narrative, she shows how international politics shaped the trial's proceedings and outcome - as well as the memory and meaning of the war for German citizens - and sheds new light on the complex interplay between the combatants' efforts to 'master the past' and the threatening state of international relations in the early Cold War. In analyzing the efforts to clear Kesselring's name, von Lingen shows that the case was about much more than the fate of one convicted individual; it also underscored the pressure to wrap up the war crimes issue - and German guilt - in order to get on with the business of bringing a rearmed Germany into the Western alliance. ""Kesselring's Last Battle"" sheds new light on the 'politics of memory' by unraveling a twisted thread in postwar history as it shows how historical truth is sometimes sacrificed on the altar of expediency. …

Translated by Alexandra Klemm. Lawrence, Kan.: University Press of Kansas, 2009, ix, 451pp., . Series: Modern war studies In 1947 German Field Marshal Albert Kesselring was tried and convicted of war crimes committed during World War II. He was held responsible for his troops having executed nearly 9,000 Italian citizens-- women, children, elderly men-- in retaliation for partisan attacks. His conviction, however, created a real dilemma for the United States and western Europe. While some sought the harshest punishments available for anyone who had participated in the war crimes of the Nazi regime, others believed that the repatriation of alleged war criminals would help secure the allegiance of a rearmed West Germany in the dangerous new Cold War against the Soviet Union. This close analysis of the Kesselring case reveals for the first time how a network of veterans, lawyers, and German sympathizers in Britain and America achieved the commutation of Kesselring's death sentence and his eventual release--^, reinforcing German popular conceptions that he had been innocent all along and that the Wehrmacht had fought a "clean war" in Italy. But the author shows that Kesselring bore much greater guilt for civilian deaths than had been proven in court-- and that the war on the Southern Front had been far from clean. In this narrative, she shows how international politics shaped the trial's proceedings and outcome-- as well as the memory and meaning of the war for German citizens-- and sheds new light on the complex interplay between the combatants' efforts to "master the past" and the threatening state of international relations in the early Cold War.

24 cm. 347 S. Geb. Zustand: gut. 2167D. Deserteure der Wehrmacht und der Waffen-SS brachen im Zweiten Weltkrieg mit dem NS-Staat. Sie überschritten in vielfacher Weise Grenzen: Normen der Militärjustiz und militärisch-maskuline Werte, territoriale Sperranlagen und Frontlinien, ideologische Feindbilder, ethnische Hierarchien und Sprachbarrieren. Desertieren war mit der Suche nach Zuflucht und Aufnahme, Amnestie und Anerkennung verbunden. Dabei bewegten sich Deserteure in politisch-sozialen Rahmen, formuliert von Partisanen, Alliierten, neutralen Staaten und schliesslich von den Nachfolgestaaten NS-Deutschlands. Der politische Streit um die Deserteure endete vor 15 Jahren mit einer umfassenden Rehabilitierung. Die Beiträge des Bandes rekapitulieren diesen Prozess mit aktuellen Forschungen. Sie richten den Blick auf bislang wenig beachtete Aspekte, etwa dass ein Grossteil der Deserteure nichtdeutscher Herkunft war und aus annektierten und besetzten Gebieten stammte, sowie auf die Rolle von Helferinnen und Helfern.

Hardback. Kerstin von Lingen, Brill. While the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg has been at the centre of scholarly attention, the Tokyo Tribunal has for decades been largely neglected. This is surprising insofar as this tribunal was a well-organized Allied endeavour and prefigured the international courts and tribunals of our day. Eleven national teams were sent to Tokyo between 1946 and 1948 to bring about justice in the aftermath of the Pacific War. This volume offers an innovative approach to the Tokyo Tribunal as an arena of transcultural engagement. It contextualizes legal agents as products of transnational forces, constituted through dialogues about legal concepts and processes of faction-making. The endeavour was challenged by different national policies, divergent legal traditions, and varying cultural perceptions of the task ahead. Contributors are Milinda Banerjee, Anja Bihler, Neil Boister, David M. Crowe, Kerstin von Lingen, Narrelle Morris, Hitoshi Nagai, Valentyna Polunina, Ann-Sophie Schoepfel, Lisette Schouten, James Burnham Sedgwick, Yuki Takatori and Urs Matthias Zachmann. Hardback.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Edited by Dr. Viviane E. Dittrich, Prof. Kerstin von Lingen, Prof. Philipp Osten and Dr. Jolana Makraiova, this book concerns the 'International Military Tribunal for the Far East' (IMTFE), held in Tokyo from May 1946 to November 1948. It was a landmark event in the development of modern international criminal law. The trial in Tokyo was a complex undertaking and international effort to hold individuals accountable for core international crimes and delivering justice. The Tribunal consisted of 11 judges and respective national prosecution teams from 11 countries, and a mixed Japanese-American team of defence lawyers. The IMTFE indicted 28 Japanese defendants, amongst them former prime ministers, cabinet ministers, military leaders, and diplomats, based on a 55-count indictment pertaining to crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The judgment was not unanimous, with one majority judgment, two concurring opinions, and three dissenting opinions. The trial and the outcome were the subject of significant controversy and the Tribunal's files were subsequently shelved in the archives. While its counterpart in Europe, the 'International Military Tribunal' (IMT) at Nuremberg, has been at the centre of public and scholarly interest, the Tokyo Tribunal has more recently gained international scholarly attention. This volume combines perspectives from law, history, and the social sciences to discuss the legal, historical, political and cultural significance of the Tokyo Tribunal. The collection is based on an international conference marking the 70th anniversary of the judgment of the IMTFE, which was held in Nuremberg in 2018. The volume features reflections by eminent scholars and experts on the establishment and functioning of the Tribunal, procedural and substantive issues as well as receptions and repercussions of the trial.…
