One third of detainees died, prompting comparisons with Nazi terror. But what about the western zones, where the Americans, British, and French also detained hundreds of thousands of Germans without trial? This first in-depth study compares internment by all four occupying powers, asking who was interned, how they were treated, and when and why they were arrested and released. It confirms the incomparably appalling conditions and death rates in the Soviet camps but identifies similarities in other respects. Andrew H. Beattie argues that internment everywhere was an inherently extrajudicial measure with punitive and preventative dimensions that aimed to eradicate Nazism and create a new Germany. By recognising its true nature and extent, he suggests that denazification was more severe and coercive but also more differentiated and complex than previously thought. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Prisoner-of-war camps $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Concentration camps $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Prisoners and prisons, German. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Concentration camps $z Germany. 650 0 $a Denazification $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Military government $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Germany $x History $y 1945-1955. 650 7 $a Concentration camps. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00872933 650 7 $a Denazification. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890254 650 7 $a Military government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021191 650 7 $a Prisoner-of-war camps. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01746580 650 7 $a Prisoners of war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077227 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200924021215.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8C0C6370FE2B11EAA9C7A44D1FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
