The Nazis sought to legitimize this conscription by labeling these individuals as \"deutsche Volkszugeh?rige\" or \"Deutschst?mmige,\" despite it being a clear violation of international law.\u003cbr\u003eThis collection explores the lives of these non-German conscripts, focusing on individuals from Slovenia, Poland (Silesia), Luxembourg, Belgium, and France. Each chapter adopts an actor-centered approach, examining their daily lives, social dynamics, recruitment, military deployment, and experiences in German uniform under coercion.\u003cbr\u003eThe authors cover cases of desertion and escapes to neutral countries, along with the repercussions for families, tracing the capture of conscripts as POWs and the complex processes of redeployment by the Allies against the Germans and the re-conscription by national governments. Through a rich collection of ego documents and personal records, this work vividly captures their complex realities, offering nuanced insights into the dynamics of occupation, coercion, and the shifting allegiances that defined wartime and post-war Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNina Janz\u003c\/strong\u003e; \u003cstrong\u003eDenis Scuto;\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSarah Maya Vercruysse\u003c\/strong\u003e, C2DH, University of Luxembourg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 451\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 30, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45773613007045,"sku":"9783111083117","price":94.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/jzI_7TrkOB9783111083117.webp?v=1770510719","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-impact-of-war-experiences-in-europe-the-conscription-of-non-german-men-and-women-into-the-wehrmacht-and-reichsarbeitsdienst-1938-1945-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
