Modern military history, inspired by social and cultural historical
approaches, increasingly puts the national histories of the Second
World War to the test. New questions and methods are focusing on
aspects of war and violence that have long been neglected. What
shaped people's experiences and memories? What differences and what
similarities existed in Eastern and Western Europe? How did the
political framework influence the individual and the collective
interpretations of the war? Finally, what are the benefits of
Europeanizing the history of the Second World War? Experts from
Belgium, Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland,
and Russia discuss these and other questions in this comprehensive
volume.
