I fredlig hamn : Hur en fredlig hamn påverkades under en fientlig tid: Gävle Hamn under andra världskriget 1939-1945

Gävle hamn under andra världskriget är ett tidigare outforskat område. I denna uppsats undersöks hur hamnens verksamhet samt ekonomi påverkades under krigsåren 1939-1945. Uppsatsen fokuserar på stuveriarbetarförbundet samt den kommunala hamnstyrelsen. Vidare så undersöks huruvida det fanns dokumenterade åsikter angående Nazityskland och eventuella moraliska dilemman som uppstod i samband med handeln mellan Gävle hamn och Nazityskland. Resultatet visar att Nazitysklands ockupation av Danmark och Norge, samt spärren i Skagerack, som innebar ett stop för sjöfart mellan Östersjön och Atlanten, påverkade Gävle hamns verksamhet i stor utsträckning. Detta ledde till att Nazityskland var den enda möjliga stora handelspartnern för svenska Östersjöhamnar, vilket innebar att ekonomin och verksamheten i Gävle hamn upplevde störst nedgång efter att Nazitysklands krigslycka hade vänt. Dokumenterad kritik från stuveriarbetarförbundet mot Nazityskland var sparsam till mängden, men ökade något mot slutet av kriget.

Faith on the Home Front: Aspects of Church Life and Popular Religion in Birmingham, 1939-1945

The nature of religion on the domestic front in Britain during the Second World War has, hitherto, been relatively unexplored. This study focuses on Birmingham and describes wartime popular religion, primarily as recounted in oral testimony. The difference the War made to people’s faith, and the consolation wrought by prayer and a religious outlook are explored, as are the religious language and concepts utilised by the wartime popular media of cinema and wireless. Clerical rhetoric about the War and concerns to spiritualise the war effort are dealt with by an analysis of locally published sources, especially parish magazines and other religious ephemera, which set the War on the spiritual as much as the military plane. A final section of the study is devoted to measuring the extent of the influence of the churches in the creation of a vision for post-war Britain and Birmingham.

El Metro de Madrid en los comienzos del franquismo (1939-1945). La línea de los Bulevares y los Barrios Bajos. Consolidación de una red mallada con centro en Sol

La Compañía Metropolitano Alfonso XIII llevó a cabo, a principios del siglo XX, la empresa de dotar a la capital española de un ferrocarril subterráneo a la altura de otras ciudades europeas: el Metro de Madrid. Del proyecto original de cuatro líneas, la 3 y la 4 se construyeron e inauguraron en plena guerra civil y en los primeros años del franquismo (1936-1945). Esta última fecha es significativa, puesto que poco después de abierta al público la línea 4 (que convertía al metropolitano por fin en una red mallada), murió su primer arquitecto oficial, Antonio Palacios Ramilo, relevante proyectista de la primera mitad del siglo XX, responsable de emblemáticos edificios del centro de la capital (Círculo de Bellas Artes, Palacio de Correos, Banco Español del Río de la Plata...). En su calidad de arquitecto oficial de la Compañía Metropolitano Alfonso XIII, diseñó no sólo las estaciones, bocas y templetes del metro de Madrid, sino también toda una serie de edificios auxiliares entre los que destacan las centrales y subestaciones eléctricas. Explicaremos la evolución de la red de metro en los comienzos del franquismo y analizaremos la arquitectura subterránea que Palacios diseñó para el ferrocarril metropolitano, centrándonos en las llamadas líneas "de los barrios bajos" y "de los bulevares", la planificación de la estación de Sol como centro neurálgico de la red y en cómo los modelos de barandillas, accesos y decoración interior que ideó Antonio Palacios se siguieron utilizando hasta mucho después de su muerte, si bien otros elementos no subsistieron al paso del tiempo y la llamada "modernización" del Metro que se llevó a cabo en los años 60 y 70. También estudiaremos el modo de intervención de Palacios en la arquitectura industrial respecto al resto de su obra y haremos especial hincapié en el estado en que se encuentra actualmente este patrimonio, distinguiendo entre los casos en los que ha habido una intervención restauradora (Nave de Motores en Pacífico, Estación de Chamberí), los que están en desuso (subestaciones de Quevedo y Salamanca...) y los elementos que ya han desaparecido (templetes de Sol y Gran Vía).

De la popularité à l’obscurité : Les rouages de la montée et du déclin de Federal Union, Inc. aux États-Unis, 1939-1945

Ce mémoire examine les fondements de la montée ainsi que du déclin de l’organisation non gouvernementale Federal Union, Inc. aux États-Unis entre 1939 et 1945. Ce regroupement, mis sur pied par Clarence K. Streit dans l’optique de faire la promotion de son projet internationaliste décrit dans son livre intitulé Union Now: A Proposal for a Federal Union of the Democracies of the North Atlantic, connut durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale un élan de popularité remarquable qui l’amena à l’avant-scène des débats sur la gestion des relations interétatiques, avant de s’essouffler rapidement, malgré l’intérêt qu’il suscita au cours de ses premières années d’existence. Dans les faits, ce phénomène, s’avéra étroitement lié au contexte historique, à l’idéologie défendue par le mouvement, de même qu’à l’organisation et à la gestion des activités de Federal Union, Inc. Ainsi, par l’étude d’un cas particulier, ce mémoire ouvre une nouvelle fenêtre sur l’internationalisme américain durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un champ d’études négligé par les chercheurs. Avec pour principal objectif d’offrir une réflexion articulée sur le fédéralisme mondial, une idéologie toujours très peu étudiée à ce jour par les historiens, cette étude mettra en lumière les rouages expliquant les hauts et les bas de cette ligne de pensée politique à l’époque. Ce faisant, le lecteur sera amené à repenser le mouvement internationaliste américain, traditionnellement perçu comme triomphant au cours de la guerre de 1939 à 1945. Il permettra de surcroît de réfléchir aux facteurs favorisant la transformation de la pensée politique au sein d’une société, tels que l’opinion publique et le rôle des organisations non gouvernementales ainsi que des groupes d’intérêt.

The book contains an introduction by Paul Weisz and a collection of family letters written during World War II. The letters were written between February 1938 and September 1945. Some were translated into English and complemented by commentary by the editor, Paul Weisz. Paul Weisz' introduction is 10 pages long and serves as a short memoir by itself. He provides a family chronicle, the living circumstances of his family, and his childhood in Vienna. He ends in 1938 when the family was eager to leave Austria. The following years are covered by the various letters he brought together in this book. The authors are cousin Willie, then already in Palestine, his father Samuel, his mother Stephanie, and his sister Ruth.
