Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un million : c'est le nombre de soldats allemands prisonniers en France, à partir de juin 1944 et jusqu'en décembre 1948. À travers les registres des camps, les archives départementales et celles de la gendarmerie, ainsi que les rapports de la Croix-Rouge et les correspondances privées, c'est ce singulier itinéraire collectif que retrace ici Valentin Schneider. Un parcours qui, du déminage aux travaux des champs, en passant par la difficile cohabitation avec la population, a constitué une aventure humaine complexe, où la faim, les mauvais traitements et la mort ont trouvé leur place, mais aussi une étonnante expérience de vie commune, dans une France confrontée aux défis de la reconstruction. En 1948, 20 % de ceux qui restaient employés sur le territoire ont choisi d'y demeurer... Leur histoire n'avait pas encore été écrite.

Book excerpt: Entre 1944 et 1948, presque 1 000 000 de prisonniers de guerre allemands sont détenus en France, d'abord dans des enceintes sauvages et des sites provisoires, puis dans des camps réguliers, enfin chez des particuliers. Figures honnies de l'Occupation, ces soldats de Hitler deviennent, vaincus, un enjeu majeur de la sortie de guerre de l'Europe en pleine reconstruction. Les Allemands réclament leur libération, les Américains comptent sur eux lorsque la Grande Alliance cède la place à la guerre froide et le gouvernement français entend se servir de cette main-d'oeuvre peu chère et docile pour effacer les traces de la défaite. De sa plongée au cour des archives françaises, allemandes, suisses, américaines, britanniques, vaticanes, Fabien Théofilakis nous offre une connaissance renouvelée de la transition française de la guerre à la paix. A partir de documents inédits et de nombreux témoignages d'anciens prisonniers qu'il a recueillis, il rend compte de cette captivité oubliée. Il campe ainsi le face-à-face inversé entre vainqueurs et vaincus d'hier dans une France qui a du mal à surmonter les traumatismes de l'Occupation et de la collaboration. Il dévoile une cohabitation intime comme les petits entrelacs d'une vie quotidienne tendue entre Français et Allemands. Il interroge le lien ambigu de la société allemande sous le nazisme puis sous occupation française avec ses prisonniers jusqu'à leur rapatriement. Il resitue l'enjeu des prisonniers de guerre dans la redéfinition des relations entre Alliés. Ce travail magistral comble une lacune et propose une autre vision de l'immédiat après-guerre, celle du retour de la paix en Europe occidentale.
Download or read book Prisoners of War written by Harold Mytum and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The archaeology of war has revealed evidence of bravery, sacrifice, heroism, cowardice, and atrocities. Mostly absent from these narratives of victory and defeat, however, are the experiences of prisoners of war, despite what these can teach us about cruelty, ingenuity, and human adaptability. The international array of case studies in Prisoners of War restores this hidden past through case studies of PoW camps of the Napoleonic era, the American Civil War, and both World Wars. These bring to light wide variations in historical and cultural details, excavation and investigative methods used, items found and their interpretation, and their contributions to archaeology, history and heritage. Illustrated with diagrams, period photographs, and historical quotations, these chapters vividly reveal challenges and opportunities for researchers and heritage managers, and revisit powerful ethical questions that persist to this day. Notorious and lesser-known aspects of PoW experiences that are addressed include: Designing and operating an 18th-century British PoW camp. Life and death at Confederate and Union American Civil War PoW camps. The role of possessions in coping strategies during World War I. The archaeology of the ‘Great Escape’ Experiencing and negotiating space at civilian internment camps in Germany and Allied PoW camps in Normandy in World War II. The role of archaeology in the memorial process, in America, Norway, Germany and France Graffiti, decorative ponds, illicit saké drinking, and family life at Japanese American camps As one of the first book-length examinations of this fascinating multidisciplinary topic, Prisoners of War merits serious attention from historians, social justice researchers and activists, archaeologists, and anthropologists.

Book excerpt: The period 1941 - 1942 marked a decisive and unexpected turning point in the way the Nazis looked on the issue of "non-aryans" in their ranks. Following high losses in Russia, the need for replacement troops was very great. As a consequence, Bosnians, Arabs, Asians, Trans-Caucasians and Indian soldiers were all enlisted in the Wehrmacht and even in the Waffen-SS. More than a million such men served. This large format book is illustrated with more than 300 photographs, badges, flags, maps, uniforms and other documents, tells the little known story of these troops.

Book excerpt: The Few and the Brave Convinced by 1943 that the assault upon Nazi-held Europe would yield swiftly to elite troops, the U.S. Army created parachute regimental combat teams. Drawing on daring volunteers willing to hurl themselves from airplanes and hit the ground fighting, the 517th PRCT became one of the most highly trained airborne units in the world. Blooded in northern Italy in 1944, the Battling Buzzards dropped at night in southern France for the second D-day to spearhead a savage advance through the Champagne region and then into the Alps. Gerald Astor, acclaimed author of A Blood-Dimmed Tide, draws on the words of the men of the 517th to create this gripping, action-packed account of a unit that existed for only two years but fought heroically to defeat the vaunted German forces. From its campaign in Italy to its assault in the French Alps, the Battling Buzzards helped push the Germans out of southern Europe one fierce, close-quarter battle at a time. Then, after six months of nonstop action, the exhausted, battle-hardened 517th was called into the ultimate battle — at a place called The Bulge....
