Z Force On The Ground: The Canadian Deployment To Iceland, 1940-41, Steven J. Bright Apr 2022

Z Force On The Ground: The Canadian Deployment To Iceland, 1940-41, Steven J. Bright

Canadian Military History

The date of 10 May 1940 is well known for the start of the German blitzkrieg and the end of Neville Chamberlain’s tenure as British Prime Minister. That fateful day also opened a chapter in Canada’s war story that, in the end, saw more than 2,600 Canadian servicemen deployed to far-away but strategic Iceland. The Canadian commitment to that remote island from June 1940 to April 1941 was a metaphoric stepping-stone in the long Allied struggle against the Axis powers in the North Atlantic, building what ultimately became a secure strategic bridge for the deployment of the forces that liberated …


Fashion Under The Swastika: An Analysis Of Women's Fashion During The Third Reich, Ayrika Johnson Jul 2018

Fashion Under The Swastika: An Analysis Of Women's Fashion During The Third Reich, Ayrika Johnson

Ursidae: The Undergraduate Research Journal at the University of Northern Colorado

This paper works to demonstrate women's fashion in Germany during WWII and how it was impacted by Nazi culture. Within Hitler's Germany, there was a desire to create a uniform community separate from the rest of the world, and greater than all others. Fashion is one way to analyze how the Nazis tried to accomplish this goal. The paper relies on speeches, magazines, and their fashion pages, and advertisement clippings to uncover the social, economic, and political factors at play. By using fashion as a means of expressing cultural, societal, economic, and political goals, the desires of the Nazi government …


The Making Of A Communist Journalist: Rupert Lockwook, 1908-1940, Rowan Cahill Aug 2014

The Making Of A Communist Journalist: Rupert Lockwook, 1908-1940, Rowan Cahill

Rowan Cahill

The journalist/publicist Rupert Lockwood (1908-1997) was one of Australia’s best known Cold War communists, his name synonymous with the Royal Commission into Espionage in Australia, 1954-1955, as author of the notorious Document J. However the communist journalist did not spring fully formed into history. He joined the Australian Communist Party in 1939. This article traces Lockwood’s development as a journalist and his evolution as a communist between the wars. It is a story that ranges from small-town Western Victoria, and the West Wimmera Mail, to Melbourne and Sir Keith Murdoch’s Herald. In between, much of the world is traversed--significantly, South …

Colonial Companies, Indentured Labour And Imperialism 1860-1940, Robert Castle, James Hagan, Andrew Wells

Robert G. Castle

The literature on modem imperialism is both immense and inconclusive. The defInition, central facts, archival sources, methods, theories and implications of 'imperialism' are subject to endless contestation. The doyen of Australian liberal historiography, WK Hancock, was moved to warn nearly half a century ago, 'Imperialism is no word for scholars'. Despite his assertion the scholarly and polemical debates continued unabated.

"Atmosphère, Atmosphère": On The Study Of France Between The Wars, Steven Ungar Jun 1997

"Atmosphère, Atmosphère": On The Study Of France Between The Wars, Steven Ungar

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

Street Noises: Parisian Pleasure, 1900-1940 by Adrian Rifkin and Shanghai on the Métro: Spies, Espionage, and the French Between the Wars by Michael B. Miller are test cases for issues of historiography related to period and duration in the study of France between 1919 and 1940. Of added relevance to these issues is the fact that Rifkin and Miller both question distinctions between elite literary cultures linked to book publishing and new forms of mass reproduction enhanced by technologies of sound reproduction and illustration. A concluding excursus explores recent theories of urban space symbolized by the street as a site …
