In January 2007 the Director general of The Royal Library in Copenhagen, Erland Kolding Nielsen turned 60. "Umisteligt" is the festschrift released to mark the occasion. Erland Kolding Nielsen is known for his active participation in the public debate about the protection and preservation of the cultural heritage and the necessity of international co-operation in these matters. He was also instrumental in the planning and building of the Royal Library's new building, known as The Black Diamond. The 35 articles in this book have a wide range: From the Bronze-Age to the Internet, from Peru to Nizhny Novgorod, from Don Quil to the Danish treasury of song, from the worship of saints to the Kulturkampf. However they all have the same point of interception: the manifold Danish cultural heritage and the management of it through time.

Samarbejde og modstand (Co-operation and Resistance) is the first methodical collection and recording of more than 50 years' publications on Denmark during the German occupation 1940-45. It consists of literature in the broadest sense of the word: novels, poetry, short stories, popular science, memoirs, scholarly dissertations, text books, legal records etc. The topic is the years of occupation in their entirety; the everyday life as well as both national and local political circumstances, and co-operation and resistance of every kind: Allied sailors, voluntaries on the Eastern front, prisoners in the German concentration camps and others. The recording has been made on the basis of books, journals, indices and bibliographies and also on documentaries and feature films on the years of occupation, a total of 8600 entries.

The German Plenipotentiary in Denmark, Werner Best, reported back several times a day to the German Foreign Ministry in Berlin about conditions in occupied Denmark between November 1942 and May 1945. In the opposite direction came directives and correspondence from the German Foreign Office to Denmark. This correspondence makes up the core in this publication of primary research. The work is supplemented with primary sources from other German authorities. Mainly from the highest ranking officers of the Wehrmacht, the Navy, German Police and for the unit that held responsibility for dealing with munitions contracts with Danish businesses. Werner Best was ordered, in April 1945, to burn his correspondence from the years 1942-1945. The letters have, however, been reconstructed after a thorough examination of especially Danish and German archives. During the research, many of the sources researchers once thought of as lost, have now been re-found. The work consists of 10 volumes, containing 2,900 annotated documents all in German that together give a picture of how the occupying German forces regarded and dealt with occupied Denmark. The period was one of the bloodiest and most dramatic periods in modern Danish history. Most of the documents have never before been published, and many have as yet not been referenced by researchers of the period. Volume 10 includes a dozen appendices with an overview of executions, German acts of terror, Danish workers in Germany, the prisoners of the Gestapo and Danes deported to Germany. Furthermore, the work of Rector Dr Aage Trommers on the incidences of railway sabotage is printed for the first time. The work was originally made for the rector's doctoral dissertation on the same subject in 1971.

This volume offers a comparative analysis of the two most important radical right-wing movements in Austria during the interwar period: Heimwehr and NSDAP. The book examines the movements from their emergence until they were incorporated into the existing power apparatus (Heimwehr) or forbidden (NSDAP). The analysis ends in 1934 after democracy was disabled, when the Austrian labour movement was violently put down and the NSDAP vainly made an attempted coup. The author concludes that even though both the Heimwehr and NSDAP strained the democratic institutions they were not responsible for the eventual collapse of Austrian democracy. The main perpetrator was the Christian Social Party (Christlichsoziale Partei - CSP), which chose to abandon democracy to avoid handing over power or to share the power on other terms than its own. Later attempts to blame either the right-wing movements or to devise the idea of a "shared guilt" between the CSP and the Social Democrats should not deter from the facts. The Heimwehr was a project of the CSP - no matter how fervent it has tried to distance itself from it afterwards. The destruction of democracy paved the way for the smooth and successful Anschluss of Austria into the German Reich in March 1938. Drawing on important archival material, this well-researched study is important reading for anyone interested in the interwar period and the machinations fermenting in the years building up to WWII.
