Produktbeschreibung
This third volume intervenes critically in a regional memory culture characterized by problematic Wehrmacht apologetics and revisionist interpretations. International scholars from history, archaeology, and museum studies examine how military operations between September 1944 and February 1945 were narratively constructed as the “Battle of the Hürtgen Forest.” The contributions analyze mechanisms of local history production, from mythologizing victim narratives to systematic exclusion of Nazi contexts. The innovative conflict landscape approach reveals how material transformations and discursive meaning-making mutually constitute each other. Based on interdisciplinary research at Osnabrück University, the contributions to the volume demonstrate how spaces become “battlefields” through language, narratives, and practices. It calls for a democratic memory culture that critically engages with violence and injustice, particularly urgent as authoritarian tendencies resurge.
