Descrizione del progetto
Un altro sguardo all’esperienza della Seconda guerra mondiale in Europa
Perché soldati di nazionalità non tedesca lottarono al fianco dei tedeschi, con l’uniforme di questo paese, nel corso della Seconda guerra mondiale? Cosa sappiamo del loro coinvolgimento nella guerra? Ciò che è noto è che oltre due milioni di stranieri provenienti da diversi territori occupati e zone di guerra, nonché paesi neutrali, prestarono servizio agli ordini della Wehrmacht nazista tedesca e delle forze armate Waffen-SS, ovvero l’organizzazione paramilitare Schutzstaffel (SS) del partito nazista. Con il sostegno del programma di azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, il progetto TransWarSoldierWWII concentrerà l’attenzione sui soldati provenienti dal Benelux per studiare l’esperienza di guerra europea da una nuova angolazione.
Obiettivo
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.
