The Discursive Construction of History: Remembering the Wehrmacht's War of Annihilation

by Hannes Heer, Alexander Pollak, Walter Manoschek

How do democratic and pluralistic societies cope with traumatic events in their past? This interdisciplinary volume analyzes in detail for the first time the history and image of the German 'Wehrmacht' and the debates in Austria and Germany surrounding two highly contested exhibitions about the war crimes of the 'Wehrmacht' during World War II.
