While the combat experiences of German soldiers are relatively well-documented, as are the everyday lives of the occupied French population, we know much less about occupiers' daily activities beyond combat, especially when it comes to men who were not top-level administrators. Using letters, photographs, and tour guides, alongside official sources, Julia S. Torrie reveals how ground-level occupiers understood their role, and how their needs and desires shaped policy and practices. At the same time as soldiers were told to dominate and control France, they were also encouraged to sight-see, to photograph and to "consume" the country, leading to a familiarity that limited violence rather than inciting it. The lives of these ordinary soldiers offer new insights into the occupation of France, the history of Nazism and the Second World War."--Provided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 610 10 Germany. |bHeer |xMilitary life |xHistory |y20th century. 610 17 Germany. |bHeer. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00534549 611 27 German Occupation of France (1940-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01353176 610 17 Deutschland |bWehrmacht. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4064995-7 651 0 France |xHistory |yGerman occupation, 1940-1945. 650 0 Soldiers |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Germans |zFrance |xHistory |y20th century. 651 0 France |xHistory |yGerman occupation, 1940-1945 |xSocial aspects. 650 7 Germans. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00942100 650 7 Social aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01354981 650 7 Soldiers. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01125233 651 7 France. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204289 651 7 Germany. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210272 650 7 Soldat. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4055409-0 650 7 Alltag. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4001307-8 650 7 Besetzung. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4006020-2 651 7 Frankreich. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4018145-5 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iebook version : |z9781108675871 830 0 Studies in the social and cultural history of modern warfare. 852 0 |bstacks |hDC397 |i.T67 2018
