In the final year of the Second World War, as bitter defensive
fighting moved to German soil, a wave of intra-ethnic violence
engulfed the country. Bastiaan Willems offers the first study into
the impact and behaviour of the Wehrmacht on its own territory,
focusing on the German units fighting in East Prussia and its
capital Koenigsberg. He shows that the Wehrmacht's retreat into
Germany, after three years of brutal fighting on the Eastern Front,
contributed significantly to the spike of violence which occurred
throughout the country immediately prior to defeat. Soldiers
arriving with an ingrained barbarised mindset, developed on the
Eastern Front, shaped the immediate environment of the area of
operations, and of Nazi Germany as a whole. Willems establishes how
the norms of the Wehrmacht as a retreating army impacted
behavioural patterns on the home front, arguing that its presence
increased the propensity to carry out violence in Germany.
