Using individual soldiers' diaries, personal letters and memoirs, Kuhne reveals the ways in which soldiers' longing for community, and the practice of male bonding and togetherness, sustained the Third Reich's pursuit of war and genocide. Comradeship fuelled the soldiers' fighting morale. It also propelled these soldiers forward into war crimes and acts of mass murders. Yet, by practising comradeship, the soldiers could maintain the myth that they were morally sacrosanct. Post-1945, the notion of kameradschaft as the epitome of humane and egalitarian solidarity allowed Hitler's soldiers to join the euphoria for peace and democracy in the Federal Republic, finally shaping popular memories of the war through the end of the twentieth century. 610 10 $a Germany. $b Heer $x History $x History $y 20th century. 610 10 $a Germany. $b Heer $x History $y World War, 1939-1945. 650 0 $a Soldiers $z Germany $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Soldiers $z Germany $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Fellowship $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Male friendship $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 3 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092945.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213013651.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802023545.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=11C24D142FC611E7A3652FCCDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
