Descripción del proyecto
Otra mirada a la experiencia europea de la Segunda Guerra Mundial
¿Por qué lucharon soldados no alemanes, con uniforme alemán, junto a los alemanes durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial? ¿Qué sabemos sobre su participación en la guerra? Se sabe que más de dos millones de extranjeros de diferentes territorios ocupados y zonas de guerra, así como de países neutrales, prestaron servicio en las filas de las fuerzas armadas de la Alemania nazi, o «Wehrmacht», y las «Waffen-SS», la organización «Schutzstaffel», o las SS, del partido nazi. El proyecto TransWarSoldierWWII, que cuenta con el apoyo de las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, se centrará en los soldados originarios del Benelux para estudiar la experiencia bélica europea desde una nueva perspectiva.
Objetivo
Over two million foreigners served in the ranks of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. They came from different occupied territories and war zones, or even from uninvolved and neutral countries. These men had a significant impact on the war itself and how it was experienced and conducted. How these men from more than 40 countries experienced the war in German uniform as transnational soldiers remains a black box. TransWarSoldierWWII will trace the experiences of these soldiers by focusing on those who originated from the Benelux to determine the framework of the European war experience from a new angle. This research will deepen understandings of individual biographies of foreign soldiers in WWII from a transnational perspective. This new angle will open up the academic and public discussion on the involvement of non-German soldiers and their entanglement in the war and aims at a profound and critical analysis beyond nation-state narratives. I will be hosted at the Netherlands Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies (NIOD) in Amsterdam, where Professor Ismee Tames will supervise and mentor me. The research is premised on Responsible Research and Innovation. It will result in a symposium on transnational war experiences, two scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals and dissemination activities in public lectures and a podcast. The project's overall aim is to strengthen my research capacity and skills to assist in securing a leading research position that will enable me to contribute my knowledge and make a crucial impact on this field in military and social history.
