The Nazi occupation of Europe of World War Two is acknowledged as a defining juncture and an important identity-building experience throughout contemporary Europe. Resistance is what 'saves' European societies from an otherwise chequered record of collaboration on the part of their economic, political, cultural and religious elites. Opposition took pride of place as a legitimizing device in the post-war order and has since become an indelible part of the collective consciousness. Yet there is one exception to this trend among previously occupied territories: the British Channel Islands. Collective identity construction in the islands still relies on the notion of 'orderly and correct relations' with the Germans, while talk of 'resistance' earns raised eyebrows. The general attitude to the many witnesses of conscience who existed in the islands remains ambiguous. This book conversely and expertly argues that there was in fact resistance against the Germans in the Channel Islands and is the first text to fully explore the complex relationship that existed between the Germans and the people of the only part of the British Isles to experience occupation.

From the late-1800s up to the beginning of World War I some of the most elegant and colorful regimental steins were produced for Kaiser Wilhelm II's cavalry regiments. Each stein portrayed the unique uniform colors, owner, service dates, and fellow servicemen of the regiment. These steins represent a time of military fashion that disappeared during World War I. The steins presented in this book are organized by cavalry service branch, beginning with the heavy cavalries of Prussia and Saxony, followed by the Hussar and Uhlan (lancer) regiments, and finishing with representative steins of the Mounted Rifle (JAger Zu Pferde) and Dragoon regiments. Each stein is well illustrated in large color photos. This book provides an accurate collector's reference for cavalry regimental steins of the Kaiser's time.

The contributors to this issue of Plough Quarterly focus on what it means to bear witness to the gospel. Peggy Gish reports on the church’s response to Boko Haram in Nigeria, where thousands of Christians have been killed. But in addition to witnesses who die for their faith, there are those who live for it, such as the families of those who died in Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. And in the wake of the US Supreme Court’s move to redefine marriage, we can’t talk about Christian witness without considering marriage and sexuality. With insights from Russell Moore, N. T. Wright, Amy Carmichael, Pope Francis, George Fox, Ivan Illich, Julia Chaney-Moss, Nathaniel Peters, Channah Ben-Eliezer, Chico Fajardo-Heflin, Les Isaac, Paul Sanders, and Robert Paeglow, this issue is sure to stimulate reflection and discussion. And as if that weren’t enough, you also get world-class art by Caravaggio, August Macke, Eric Drooker, Denis Barsukov, Pablo Picasso, George Tooker, Lucas Cranach the Elder, Janice Earley, John Singer Sargent, Paul Sanders, Paul Klee, Ghislaine Howard, and others. Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their faith into action. Each issue brings you in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art to help you put Jesus’ message into practice and find common cause with others.

During the thirty years prior to World War I, the Kaiser's Imperial Germany provided some of the finest examples of military fashion ever seen. The light cavalry, or Hussars, on parade were among the most elaborate and colorful regiments in military history. It was a time of regimental loyalty, honor and distinction. This two volume set provides a lavishly illustrated reference - with over 600 color and black and white photos - of Hussar busbies, tunics, trousers, horse accessories, steins, and swords of the twenty hussar regiments. These volumes are an excellent full-color photo reference to an era of military fashion long gone. This second volume covers the 10th-20th regiments and includes the colorful 10th, Brunswick 17th, and Saxon regiments. Chapters on the uniform accessories (bandoliers and boxes), swords, steins and rank and regimental insignia are also included. Each regiment has a chapter with full-page photos of the parade uniform, period black and white photos, and various regimental accessories.

Chapters provide in-depth research on the head-gear, tunics, trousers, and musician uniforms, and includes a rare set of watercolors illustrating the regimental parade horse bridles. Additional chapters are devoted to each individual regiment and contain extensive photos of the regiment's parade uniform, accessories, stein, and walkout uniform.

This book is a compilation of helmets collected over the past thirty years, and is intended as an illustrated reference source on the elaborate head dress of the Imperial German Army from 1880-1916. Displaying many rare helmets in full color, large format photographs, the book covers most branches within the army and is organized in alphabetic order beginning with the artillery units, moving through the various cavalry (hussars, dragoons, currasiers) and infantry units, and ending with uhlans - a superb cross section of all the different head dress types. Head dress of the large states like Prussia, Bavaria, WArttemburg, and Saxony are well represented, and in addition, smaller states like Hesse, Lubeck, Hamburg and the Saxon duchies can also be found. Other sections are devoted to the helmets of the generals and their staffs, with another showing six examples of the different ranks and models of the rare Garde du Korps helmets. This book is a beautiful, highly detailed source for collectors.

Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich BWL - Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte, Note: 1,1, Albert-Ludwigs-Universitat Freiburg (Historisches Seminar - Lehrstuhl fur Wirtschafts-, Sozial- und Umweltgeschichte), Veranstaltung: Geschichte - Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: "Die Arbeit zeichnet sich durch einen gut begrundeten Aufbau, klare Fragestellungen, eine reichhaltige Materialbasis, eine souverane Kenntnis der Sekundarliteratur, eine auch sprachlich uberzeugende Darstellung und schlussige Ergebnisse aus." Prof. Dr. Dr. F.J. Bruggemeier, Albert-Ludwigs-Universitat Freiburg, Abstract: Die Debatte der deutschen Wirtschaftselite um aktionarsorientierte Unternehmensfuhrung begann 1989, erreichte den Hohepunkt Ende der 1990er Jahre und ebbte dann die Folgejahre ab. Gerade in der wirtschaftssoziologischen Literatur wird die Offnung des deutschen Aktienmarktes fur internationale Investoren haufig als Prozess der Amerikanisierung der deutschen Wirtschaftskultur betrachtet, in dem die einzelnen Akteure sich Handlungslogiken fugen mussten, wie jener der Maximierung des Aktionarsgewinnes im Kontext der Internationalisierung der Finanzmarkte. Hierfur ist Shareholder Value zum Symbol geworden. Gestutzt auf eine Analyse der Debatte um Shareholder Value in der Wirtschaftspresse argumentiert die vorliegende Arbeit hingegen, dass der Wandel der deutschen Wirtschaftsordnung in der Konzeption der deutschen Wirtschaftselite als kreativer Such- und Aushandlungsprozess verstanden werden muss, nicht als passiver Akt der Ubernahme amerikanischer Vorstellungen davon, was richtige Unternehmensfuhrung sei. Durch die Konstruktion von raumlich zuschreibbaren Wirtschaftskulturen werden konkurrierende Eigen- und Fremdbilder geschaffen, die nicht nur das jungste Deutschland in einer sich globalisierenden Welt verorten sollen, sondern auch die Geschichte der deutschen Wirtschaftsordnung neu entwerfen.

Zwischen 1989 und 2009 entstand das, was wir heute den globalen Finanzmarkt nennen: ein amerikanisch gepr gter Marktplatz mit Investoren, die Anteile an nationalen Unternehmen weltweit kaufen. Viele Beobachter der Zeit f rchteten, dass mit der Globalisierung der Aktienm rkte auch eine Homogenisierung der Wirtschaftskulturen einherginge. Reizwort und Symbol f r die Furcht vor Amerikanisierung des deutschen Kapitalismus wurde die US-Managementmethode 'Shareholder Value'. Das vorliegende Buch vertritt entgegen des Tenors der damaligen Massenmedien die These, dass der deutsche Kapitalismus in den 1990er und 2000ern nicht durch die Globalisierung bedroht wurde, sondern sich vielmehr selbst in dieser Zeit geschaffen hat. Shareholder Value wird als Praxis wirtschaftlichen Handelns und als etwas Verhandelbares begriffen. Damit wird es kulturhistorisch interessant zu wissen, wie die deutschen Funktionstr ger der Wirtschaft mit aktion rsorientierter Unternehmensf hrung umgegangen sind. Zu erst wird aufgezeigt, welche Konzeptionen eines 'deutschen Kapitalismus' in der Literatur auftauchen. Dann wird der Begriff 'Wirtschaftskultur' gesch rft. Im Hauptteil vollzieht die Studie die Genese der Managmentmethode Shareholder Value in den USA nach. Anschlie end wird die Debatte der deutschen Wirtschaftselite um den Begriff zwischen 1989 und 2009 beleuchtet und die Zeit in Phasen eingeteilt. Dabei kommt heraus, dass der Begriff am hei esten Ende der 1990er Jahre debattiert wurde. Danach ebbte die Verwendung bis zum v lligen Verschwinden ab. Drei Argumentationsmotive tauchten zum Zusammenhang zwischen Shareholder Value und der deutschen Wirtschaftsordnung auf: Shareholder Value als revolution re Kraft, als Reformansatz und als blo technische Neuerung, die es zu integrieren gelte. F r die berpr fung der These stellt die Debattenanalyse drei Ergebnisse heraus: 1. Journalisten und Wirtschaftsbosse haben Anfang der 1990er die Kluft zwischen angeblich deutscher und angeblich amerikanische
