Le petit village d'Erbisoeul, de 1945 à 1948, a accueilli l'un des plus grands complexes d'internement jamais créé en Belgique. Des dizaines de milliers de prisonniers de guerre allemands y ont transité, vécu et travaillé.00Cet ouvrage révèle à la fois l'histoire et la dimension inouïe de ce camp et des détails parfois émouvants touchant au vécu le plus intime des prisonniers, leurs conditions de vie et leurs rapports avec la population locale. Il passe également sous la loupe le rôle important qu'il a joué dans la reconstruction d'un pays00Ni avocats ni accusateurs, les auteurs ont consulté et récolté des fonds d'archives en Belgique et en Suisse, mais ont également fait appel aux derniers témoins de cette période troublée.

"In the eighteenth century, as wars between Britain, France, and their allies raged across the world, hundreds of thousands of people were captured, detained, or exchanged. They were shipped across oceans, marched across continents, or held in an indeterminate limbo. The Society of Prisoners challenges us to rethink the paradoxes of the prisoner of war, defined at once as an enemy and as a fellow human being whose life must be spared. Amidst the emergence of new codifications of international law, the practical distinctions between a prisoner of war, a hostage, a criminal, and a slave were not always clear-cut. Renaud Morieux's vivid and lucid account uses war captivity as a point of departure, investigating how the state transformed itself at war, and how whole societies experienced international conflicts. The detention of foreigners on home soil created the conditions for multifaceted exchanges with the host populations, involving prison guards, priests, pedlars, and philanthropists. Thus, while the imprisonment of enemies signals the extension of Anglo-French rivalry throughout the world, the mass incarceration of foreign soldiers and sailors also illustrates the persistence of non-conflictual relations amidst war. Taking the reader beyond Britain and France, as far as the West Indies and St Helena, this story resonates in our own time, questioning the dividing line between war and peace, and forcing us to confront the untenable situations in which the status of the enemy is left to the whim of the captor."--

Comrades is a new history of the mentalities of ordinary Wehrmacht soldiers, based on recently discovered intelligence records from the American interrogation camp Fort Hunt near Washington, where German prisoners of war were interned and secretly listened in on during the Second World War. US Military Intelligence captured tens of thousands of open conversations between Wehrmacht soldiers and recorded them in verbatim transcripts. The resulting collection offers new insights into the thinking and worldviews of ordinary members of Hitler's armed forces - their attitudes towards National Socialism and the 'Führer', their views of the war and their experiences during the fighting, and their knowledge of and participation in war crimes and the Holocaust. The accompanying biographical information reveals how their mindsets were connected to their individual paths through the Third Reich, the Wehrmacht, and the war. The book offers a nuanced and realistic account of life in the Wehrmacht, based on unique source material, which allows us to see the Second World War through the eyes of the protagonists

Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la captivité n'a pas seulement concerné près de deux millions de soldats français. En effet, chaque parent, chaque épouse, chaque proche, tous la subissent dans l'inquiétude et, souvent, dans les privations. Après la guerre, viennent les difficultés du retour dans la vie familiale et professionnelle et, pour nombre d'entre eux, les tourments de la réclusion se prolongent au travers de douloureuses séquelles physiques et psychiques. Dans cet ouvrage, Evelyne Gayme s'attache à répondre à de multiples questions. Quelles furent les véritables conditions de détention dans les Stalags et dans les Oflags ? Comment, dans cette « étrange défaite », les prisonniers vécurent-ils leur condition de vaincus ? Comment devinrent-ils un enjeu dans la politique de Vichy ? Et comment ces hommes furent-ils accueillis à leur libération ? Plus tard, souhaitant transmettre aux générations suivantes le souvenir de ces sombres années, certains écrivent, beaucoup racontent leur vie quotidienne en Allemagne. S'appuyant sur des témoignages jamais étudiés, Evelyne Gayme révèle ainsi la forte empreinte laissée dans la société française par cette épreuve collective, depuis 1940 jusqu'à nos jours. -- Quatrième de couverture
