Using engaging first-person accounts of downed pilots, as well as previously unused primary sources, Terror Flyers challenges the notion that such lynchings were exclusively the domain of Nazi party officials and soldiers. New evidence reveals ordinary German people executed Lynchjustiz as well. Initially occurring as a spontaneous reaction to the devastation of the Allied air campaign against the cities of the Third Reich, Lynchjustiz offered the Nazi regime a unique propaganda opportunity to harness the outrage of the German population. Fueled by inspiration from America's own history of the lynching of African Americans, Nazi propaganda exploited the very same imagery found in US publications to escalate the anger of the German people. Drawing heavily on the accounts of the downed airmen themselves, testimonies from the "flyer trials" held in Dachau during 1945-48, and rarely seen Nazi propaganda, Terror Flyers offers a new narrative of this previously overlooked aspect of the Allied campaign in Europe and suggests that at least 3,000 cases of lynch justice likely occurred between 1943 and 1946."-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xPrisoners and prisons, German. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xAtrocities |zGermany. 650 0 Lynching |zGermany |xHistory |y20th century. 610 10 United States. |bArmy Air Forces |xAirmen. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xAerial operations, American. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xCampaigns |zGermany. 650 0 Civilians in war |zGermany. 610 17 United States. |bArmy Air Forces. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00549671 650 7 Military operations, Aerial |xAmerican. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01710199 650 7 Armed Forces |xAirmen. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01982032 650 7 Atrocities. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00820727 650 7 Civilians in war. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01746486 650 7 Lynching. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01004334 650 7 Military campaigns. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01710190 651 7 Germany. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210272 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iOnline version:Hall, Kevin T, |tTerror flyers |dBloomington, Indiana : Indiana University Press, [2021] |z9780253050168 |w(DLC) 2020007460 852 0 |bscstacks |hD804.G3 |iH35 2021
