Battlegrounds. Cornell studies in military history
Content:
This text reveals how, over the course of the Third Reich, scenes involving alcohol consumption & revelry among the SS & police became a routine part of rituals of humiliation in the camps, ghettos, & killing fields of Eastern Europe. The book draws on a vast range of newly unearthed material to explore how alcohol consumption served as a literal & metaphorical lubricant for mass murder. It facilitated 'performative masculinity,' expressly linked to physical or sexual violence. Such inebriated exhibitions extended from meetings of top Nazi officials to the rank & file, celebrating at the grave sites of their victims. The book argues that, contrary to the common misconception of the SS & police as stone-cold killers, they were, in fact, intoxicated with the act of murder itself.
