When the Second World War ended, Europe was in ruins. Yet, politically and socially, the years between 1943 and 1947 were a time of dramatic reconfigurations, which proved to be foundational for the ...making of today's Europe. This volume hones in on the crucial period from the beginning of the end of Nazi rule in Europe to the advent of the Cold War. Through a series of interrelated case studies that span the entire continent, it demonstrates how the everyday experiences of Europeans during these five years shaped the transition of their societies from war to peace. The authors explore these reconfigurations on different scales and levels -the local and regional, the ethnic and national, and the international - with the purpose of enhancing our understanding of how wars end.
Über 600.000 Italienernwurden zwischen 1943 und 1945 vom NS-Regime gefangen gehalten undzu Zwangsarbeit verurteilt.Es handelte sich beiihnen um ehemalige königlich-faschistische Soldaten, die bis zum ...Waffenstillstand Italiens mit den Alliierten vom 8. September 1943 Seite an Seite mitdeutschen Soldatengekämpft hatten. Für Hitler und den Großteil der deutschen Bevölkerung galten sie daher als 'Verräter', die für den Abfall der Regierung vom Bündnis der sogenannten Achse Rom-Berlin zu büßen hatten. Zeugnisse der Gefangenschaft lässt die italienischen Militärinternierten zu Wort kommen, deren Schicksal nach 1945 in Deutschland undauch in Italien lange Zeit unbeachtet blieb, obwohl sie in besonderer Weise von dem nationalsozialistischen Regime und der vielschichtigen deutsch-italienischen Kriegsvergangenheit betroffen waren.
Thousands of Frenchmen volunteered to provide military help to the Nazis during World War II, fighting in such places as Belorussia, Galicia, Pomerania, and Berlin. Utilizing these soldiers' memoirs, ...The French Who Fought for Hitler examines how these volunteers describe their exploits on the battlefield, their relations to civilian populations in occupied territories, and their sexual prowess. It also discusses how the volunteers account for their controversial decisions to enlist, to fight to the end, and finally to testify. Coining the concepts of 'outcast memory' and 'unlikeable vanquished', Philippe Carrard characterizes the type of bitter, unrepentant memory at work in the volunteers' recollections and situates it on the map of France's collective memory. In the process, he contributes to the ongoing conversation about memory, asking whether all testimonies are fit to be given and preserved, and how we should deal with life narratives that uphold positions now viewed as unacceptable.
The dramatic story of Mussolini's fall from power in July 1943, illuminating both the causes and the consequences of this momentous event. Morgan shows how Italians of all classes coped with the ...extraordinary pressures of wartime living, both on the military and home fronts, and how their experience of the country at war eventually distanced them from the dictator and his fascist regime. Looking beyond Mussolini's initial fall from power, Morgan examines how the Italian people responded to the invasion, occupation, and division of their country by Nazi German and Anglo-American forces - and how crucial the experience of this period was in shaping Italy's post-war sense of nationhood and transition to democracy.

This is a ground-breaking history of the Rani of Jhansi Regiment, part of the Indian National Army led by Bengali revolutionary Subhas Chandra Bose during World War II. The Regiment, a hitherto ...forgotten part of "the Forgotten Army", was composed largely of teenage volunteers from Malayan rubber estates, girls who had never seen India yet were eager to enlist to liberate India from colonial bondage.

The Rani of Jhansi Regiment provides a model of empowerment relevant for contemporary Indian women.
