Die Dritte Welt im Zweiten Weltkrieg: Unterrichtsmaterialien zu einem vergessenen Kapitel der Geschichte

Birgit Morgenrath, Karl Rössel et al.

Köln: Recherche International, 2nd, corrected and enlarged ed. (2012), 232 pp.

"Millionen Soldaten aus Afrika, Asien und Ozeanien haben im Zweiten Weltkrieg gekämpft, um die Welt vom deutschen und italienischen Faschismus sowie vom japanischen Großmachtwahn zu befreien. Allein Indien stellte 2,5 Millionen Kolonialsoldaten und China hatte mehr Opfer zu beklagen als Deutschlan ... d, Italien und Japan zusammen. Sowohl die faschistischen Achsenmächte als auch die Alliierten rekrutierten in ihren Kolonien Hilfstruppen und Hilfsarbeiter oftmals mit Gewalt. Japanische Militärs verschleppten zudem Hunderttausende Frauen aus Asien und von pazifischen Inseln in ihre Frontbordelle. Rekruten aus den Kolonien, ob Freiwillige oder Zwangsverpflichtete, mussten sich mit weniger Sold, schlechteren Unterkünften und geringeren Kriegsrenten als ihre «weißen Kameraden» zufrieden geben. Weite Teile der Dritten Welt – von Nordafrika über den Nahen Osten und Indien bis nach Südostasien und Ozeanien – dienten auch als Schlachtfelder und blieben nach Kriegsende verwüstet und vermint zurück. Bei der Befreiung der philippinischen Hauptstadt Manila von den japanischen Besatzern starben mehr Zivilisten als in Berlin, Dresden oder Köln. Die Kolonien der kriegführenden Mächte mussten zudem Nahrungs mittel für die kämpfenden Truppen und Rohstoffe für die Rüstungsproduktion liefern. Oft hungerte deshalb die einheimische Bevölkerung. Auch das NS-Regime bezog kriegswichtiges Material aus den Kolonien in Afrika und Indochina, die unter der Kontrolle der französischen Kollaborationsregierung in Vichy standen. Die Nazis wollten nach der Unterwerfung Osteuropas zudem ein Kolonialreich in Zentralafrika erobern und über Nordafrika in den Nahen Osten vor - stoßen. Auch Hunderttausende Juden in dieser Region mussten deshalb um ihr Leben fürchten. 1942 landete ein SS-Kommando in Tunesien, das die Juden in Palästina vernichten sollte. Noch im chinesischen Schanghai sahen sich Zehntausende jüdische Flüchtlinge von Gestapo-Verfolgern bedroht. In der Dritten Welt gab es allerdings nicht nur Opfer, sondern auch Kollaborateure der faschistischen Achsenmächte, die im Krieg an deren Seite kämpften – von Nordafrika und Palästina über den Irak und Indien bis nach Thailand und Indonesien. Die Unterrichtsmaterialien enthalten Hintergrundtexte, historische Quellen und Berichte von Zeitzeugen zu diesen und weiteren Folgen des Zweiten Weltkriegs in Afrika, Asien und Ozeanien. Fotogalerien, Zeittafeln, Karten und persönliche Erinnerungen von Kriegsteilnehmern erleichtern den Einstieg ins Thema. Im Anhang werden Vorschläge zur Unterrichtsgestaltung gemacht und weiterführende Themen erläutert (wie z.B. Kolonialgeschichte, Rassismus, Frauen im Krieg und Judenverfolgung außerhalb Europas). Die (Wander-) Ausstellung und die Internetseite zum Thema (www.3www2.de) werden vorgestellt sowie empfehlenswerte Bücher, Filme und Radiosendungen. Die Materialien sind nicht nur im Geschichtsunterricht verwendbar, sondern auch in Fächern wie Politik, Sozialkunde, Philosophie, Ethik, Geographie und Religion." (Buchrücken) more

The Theatre of Violence: Narratives of Protagonists in the South African Conflict

Don Foster, Paul Haupt, Marésa De Beer

Capetwon; Oxford: Institute of Justice and Reconciliation; HSRC Press; James Currey (2005), xii, 364 pp.

"If the dominant media stereotype portrays perpetrators as monsters, as ‘Prime Evil’, then the dominant academic image is the opposite. It paints them as ordinary people (gender ignored, but assumed as male) diligently under sway of modern bureaucratic compartmentalisation (the banality of evil ... thesis), or as obedient to authority and conforming to social pressures (the situationist thesis). No monsters here, just ordinary people under rather extraordinary circumstances. The moral message: we co uld all potentially become perpetrators, depending on the situation. There is a competing view: the perpetrator as a willing, even eager, executioner driven by strong negative emotions against the ‘other’. The scholarly world presents us with antagonistic perspectives. What picture do we get from narrative approaches, from stories told by those actually responsible for politically-related violence? First, there are only a few narrative studies. Second, they also paint competing pictures. On the one hand, is a picture of the perpetrator as a victim – of organisational routines, hierarchies, pressures and secrecy, and of dominant ideologies, as well as brutal initiation rites which instil the practice of obedience to authority. These narrative studies support the situationist and ordinary person line of explanation. They also correct the erstwhile neglect of gender issues by placing emphasis on masculinity as an important ingredient. On the other hand, the South African storytelling studies by Marks (2001), Straker (1992) and Campbell (1992) throw up a different picture. While victims in one sense – of Bantu education, poverty and violence at the hands of both state security agents and older vigilante groups – they are also action-oriented moral crusaders in defence of their communities and in politically-minded offensive against the apartheid state and its allies. Once again, we have contrasting and competing pictures of those responsible for political violence. In these particular storytelling perspectives, differences are partly due to the different positions of protagonists across the dividing line of power: state security personnel on the one hand and resistance activists on the other. Apart from the conflicting images from varying epistemological perspectives and different theoretical angles, the very label or category of a ‘perpetrator’ is more muddied, contested and problematic than a first glance would suggest. We described seven grey areas which challenge or disrupt the dominant binaries of victim-perpetrator and the triangular view of dramatis personae: perpetrator – ‘victim’ – bystander/observer. Moreover, in Chapter 4, we raise a number of moral quandaries or dilemmas in the study of those responsible for violence, which again dislodge the simple and tidy categories. Therefore a central component of the present study aims to problematise and disrupt the complacency of the very label and category of ‘perpetrator’. What should be done? In the face of these competing images and explanations we carve out a ‘third space’ beyond, or perhaps better, between the theoretical antagonisms of situationism versus agency (willing killers); among the grey areas between category labels of victim/perpetrator/bystander. Rather than this being seen as an alternative position, it should be read as an attempt at synthesis. Instead of the oppositional pairing of ‘either-or’, it should be seen in terms of the inclusive pairing ‘both-and’ (Foster, 1999).We argue that those responsible for violence should be regarded as potentially both victim and perpetrator, as well as both subject to circumstances/influences and active initiators."
