Hallo allerseits,
mein englischsprachiger Artikel über den Einsatz der Division "Brandenburg" in Jugoslawien während des Zweiten Weltkrieges ist vor Kurzem in Vojnoistorijski glasnik erschienen. Da es sich um eine Open-Access-Zeitschrift handelt, ist der Volltext frei zugänglich (s. Link).
Aus der Zusammenfassung:
"Third Reich’s main special forces unit, known as the
„Brandenburg“, continues to capture the public imagination even
after almost eight decades since the end of the biggest conflict in
world history. The exploits from the early phase of the Second
World War, notably those that took place in the Soviet Union and
North Africa, invariably occupy a central place in these narratives.
In stark contrast, the “Brandenburg” ’s service in occupied Yugosla-
via has, at best, received scant coverage despite the fact that all of
its major sub-units saw action there at one point or another. Using
largely unpublished primary sources, the article at hand will seek
to outline the unit’s involvement in what has once been aptly
described as “the Wehrmacht’s Balkan quagmire”. It will also
argue that its performance in counterinsurgency warfare did not
live up to its general reputation."
