A propos de cet article

Hardcover. From Incarceration to Repatriation explores their lives and memories of the nearly 1.5 million German POWs that were held by the Soviet Union during and after World War II and released in phases through 1956, seven years longer than any other Allied nations. Susan Grunewald argues that Soviet leadership deliberately kept able-bodied German POWs to supplement their labor force after the end of the war. The Soviet Union lost 27 million citizens and a quarter of its physical assets during the war, motivating Soviet leadership to harness the labor of German POWs for as long as possible. Engaging with recently declassified documents in former Soviet archives, archival material from multiple German governments, as well as innovative use of digital humanities methods and GIS mapping, Grunewald demonstrates that Soviet authorities detained German POWs primarily for economic rather than punitive reasons. In fact, the GIS mapping of the historical materials makes it clear that most of the 4,000 POW camps across the USSR were strategically located near industrial, infrastructure, and natural resource sites that were critical to postwar economic reconstruction. From Incarceration to Repatriation is the first book to draw together the distinct fields of Soviet and German history to provide a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of German POW captivity in the USSR during and after the Second World War. Attending to the ways the memory of the German POWs remains in circulation in both the former Soviet Union and Germany, Grunewald tracks the political repercussions of war commemoration. "Explores the experiences and memories of the 1.5 million German POWs held by the Soviet Union in World War II and how they were used in postwar economic reconstruction"- Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
