Schwert der Justiz
(2019)
Das Gerichtsvollzieherwesen erlebte in den zurückliegenden 200 Jahren eine wechselhafte Entwicklung. Die Gerichtsvollzieher standen und stehen seit jeher zwischen verschiedenen Polen: zwischen Selbstständigkeit und Abhängigkeit, zwischen Eigenverantwortung und Weisungsgebundenheit, zwischen moderatem Mittlertum und einem rein exekutiven Verständnis des Amtes als »Schwert der Justiz«.
Die Beiträge dieses Bandes beschreiben die Geschichte des Gerichtsvollzieherwesens von seinen Anfängen im territorial zersplitterten Deutschland um 1800 bis in die heutige Zeit.

Speaking the Unspeakable
(2019)
This article discusses the filmic representation of the infamous Wannsee Conference, when fifteen senior German officials met at a villa on the shore of a Berlin lake to discuss and co-ordinate the
implementation of the so-called final solution to the Jewish question. The understanding reached during the course of the ninety-minute meeting cleared the way for the Europe-wide killing of six million Jews. The article sets out to answer the principal challenge facing
anyone attempting to recreate the Wannsee Conference on film: what was the atmosphere of this conference and the attitude of the participants? Moreover, it discusses various ethical aspects related to the portrayal of evil, not in actions but in words, using the medium of film. In doing so, it focuses on the BBC/HBO television film Conspiracy (2001), directed by Frank Pierson, probing its historical accuracy and discussing its artistic credibility.
Rebuilding an Austrian Army
(2019)
After the Second World War, a new Austrian Army (the Bundesheer) was formed to guarantee the country’s armed neutrality. But the period between 1938 and 1945 remained a point of contention. While some Austrian officers had been sidelined, the majority had served in the Wehrmacht and thus shared experiences and soldierly values. As Cold War realities necessitated a professional experienced army, a group around Erwin Fussenegger (1908–1986) dominated the new Bundesheer and contemplations about reforming the military culture and value system were postponed; while at the same time, the Bundesheer managed to prevent becoming a mere continuation of the Wehrmacht.
