Did the Federal Republic of Germany plan another European border revision just 20 years after the end of the Second World War? Did the plan call for the use of biological and chemical weapons? Bonenkamp’s ground-breaking research shows how disinformation campaigns were part of the German-German conflict during the Cold War. One such attempt by East Berlin to internationally discredit its Western class enemy was the Ministry for State Security operation named Aktion ‘Verwüstung’ (English: operation ‘Devastation’), which is the focus of this book. This campaign shows how hard those responsible in the GDR tried to attain international recognition and what enormous resources were mobilised for this. The study is based on numerous original documents

Die Darwin’sche Theorie ist ein Beschreibungsmodell, das unsere Augen für neue Erkenntnisse öffnet. Das gilt nicht nur für die Evolutionsbiologie und für die Genetik. Auch in der kulturellen Evolution erkennen wir Zusammenhänge, die wir ohne Darwins Modell übersehen hätten. Wir entdecken beispielsweise einen Beziehungsstrang, der von den Weltkriegen über den Kalten Krieg bis zum Immobilien-Crash in den USA und bis zur globalen Finanzkrise führt. In den undurchschaubaren Nebeln der Weltwirtschaftskrise wird ein monsterartiger Mutant des Krieges sichtbar: der Weltwirtschaftskrieg. Kriege hinterlassen unauslöschbare Spuren in der kulturellen Evolution. Eine Folge des Kalten Krieges ist die Weltwirtschaftskrise. Hinter ihr verbirgt sich ein Weltwirtschaftskrieg.

The traces of the Cold War are still visible in many places all around the world. It is the topic of exhibits and new museums, of memorial days and historic sites, of documentaries and movies, of arts and culture. There are historical and political controversies, both nationally and internationally, about how the history of the Cold War should be told and taught, how it should be represented and remembered. While much has been written about the political history of the Cold War, the analysis of its memory and representation is just beginning. Bringing together a wide range of scholars, this volume describes and analyzes the cultural history and representation of the Cold War from an international perspective. That innovative approach focuses on master narratives of the Cold War, places of memory, public and private memorialization, popular culture, and schoolbooks. Due to its unique status as a center of Cold War confrontation and competition, Cold War memory in Berlin receives a special emphasis. With the friendly support of the Wilson Center.
