The Novel Das Boot, Political Responsibility, and Germanys Nazi Past

This study investigates the relationship between Lothar-Gnther Buchheim (19182007), his bestselling 1973 novel Das Boot (The Boat), and West Germanys Vergangenheitsbewltigung.

As a war reporter during the Battle of the Atlantic, Buchheim benefitted from distinct privileges, yet he was never in a position of power. Almost thirty years later, Buchheim confronted the duality of his own past and railed against what he perceived to be a varnished public memory of the submarine campaign. Michael Rothbergs theory of the implicated beneficiary is used as a lens to view Buchheim and this duality. Das Boot has been retold by others worldwide because many people claim that the story bears an anti-war message. Wolfgang Petersens critically acclaimed 1981 film and interpretations as a comedy sketch, a theatrical play, and a streamed television sequel have followed. This trajectory of Buchheims personal memory reflects a process that practitioners of memory studies have described as transnational memory formation. Archival footage, interviews, and teaching materials reflect the relevance of Das Boot since its debut. Given the debates that surrounded Buchheims endeavors, the question now raised is whether Germanys mastering the past serves as a model for other societies analyzing their own histories.

Sitting at the intersection of History, Literature, and Film Studies, this is an unprecedented case study depicting how the pre- and postwar times affected writers and others caught in the middle of the drama of the era.

Dean J. Guarnaschelli currently teaches at Hofstra University, USA. His recent PhD in history complements his Masters degree in language teaching, a career spanning almost thirty years. His scholarly interest reflects Northern European affairs, with a special focus on Germany and Scandinavia.

Routledge Studies in Second World War History

The Second World War remains today the most seismic political event of the past hundred years, an unimaginable upheaval that impacted upon every country on earth and is fully ingrained in the consciousness of the worlds citizens. Traditional narratives of the conflict are entrenched to such a degree that new research takes on an ever important role in helping us make sense of World War II. Aiming to bring to light the results of new archival research and exploring notions of memory, propaganda, genocide, empire and culture, Routledge Studies in Second World War History sheds new light on the events and legacy of global war.
