Russia Prisoner of War Camps in World War One Architecture Pierce Herbert HD. H. D.
An Archive of Material Relating to Russian Prisoner of War Camps Mostly in Siberia 1914-1916 Including Several Hand Drawn Architectural Plans for a Camp at Omsk from the Estate of Diplomatic Assistant Herbert H.D. Pierce
Siberia Petrograd et al. 1916. First Edition. Various documents and letters most legal format roughly 200 pages in total with three publications and several newspapers on the subject and thirteen hand drawn architectural plans for a new camp at Omsk measuring between 25 x 17 and 13 x 8 inches. During World War One a staggering number of prisoners - roughly 2.4 of the five million in total who were sent to the Eastern Front - ended up as prisoners of war in Russia. Of that number roughly two million were from Austria-Hungary. Though often neglected by historians due to the attention given to the Russian Civil War and the atrocities of World War Two the subject has drawn increased historical interest with the historian Gerald H. Davis and others calling attention to its importance in the 1980s. Davis and others have written on the relationship between the large prisoner population and the dissolution of their nations as well as the abhorrent conditions many were forced to endure partially due to hierarchical structure of treatment due to differing attitudes by their Russian hosts toward different nations and ethnicities and partially due to the lack of appropriate infrastructure and resources to support such a large prisoner population. <br /> <br /> Offered here are the papers of Herbert H.D. Pierce the Special Aide to Embassador George T. Marye in Petrograd containing a substantial amount of firsthand accounts of prison conditions from the early years of the war as well as a striking series of manuscript architectural plans for a new prison camp that was built in Omsk. Pierce a diplomat who was most famously involved with a case involving seal fishing in the Berings Strait was appointed as a Special Aide out of his retirement and served until his death in 1916. It is possible that he was assigned the task of dealing with the prisoner of war situation as nearly all of his papers that we recovered from his estate from this period deal with the subject. Pierce was involved specifically with the disbursal of relief funds received from the German and Austro-Hungarian governments that were to be disbursed to their citizens. <br /> <br /> The highlight of the collection is a series of hand drawn architectural plans for a series of POW camp structures in Omsk bearing the signature of a N. Alexandrow architect. It is unclear what Pierce's exact relationship was to this project. The plans are translated into English in ink. Of particular interest are the separate officers' barracks plans as one of the violations of POW laws in Russia was the varying levels of treatment given to different prisoners in particular in their recognition of German and Austro-Hungarian ranking officers. There were twenty-eight prison camps in Omsk this one is not identified specifically. The Siberian camps often held up to 35000 prisoners this one shows plans for 10000. There were 128 camps in the Moscow region where camps typically housed 2000-5000 prisoners. The conditions of the camps were generally abysmal with camp capacities routinely exceeded by roughly 50-100%. Frequent disease outbreaks killed thousands of prisoners during the conflict in Omsk Novo-Nikolaevsk Sretensk and Totskoe specifically. <br /> <br /> The group includes letters written to Marye describing conditions in the camps as well as reports of the Americans' own observations in Siberia Moscow and elsewhere. Most are in English though several original documents in German are included. Also included are Pierce's working copies of the Second Hague Convention guidelines of 1907 Order 697 of the War Department that established the regulations regarding prisoners of war in 1914 and a copy of the agreement made between Germany and Russia in August of 1914 which allowed for all women and all men over 45 years and younger than 17 to leave the country unheeded. Some of the letters document violations of this agreement for example a fifty-five year old Austrian man writing to the embassy stating that he had been detained. The authorship of some of the reports is often unclear - one report is credited to "A Russian Lady" another from Krasnaya-Ratchka near Khabaraovsk is an uncredited 18 page description of prisoner conditions. One uncredited report nineteen pages long on the conditions of prisoners in the Moscow Circuit may have been written by Pierce himself and is addressed to Marye. Another 44 page report on Siberian prison conditions is uncredited and likely produced by the embassy itself. A portion - perhaps 25% or so - of the reports are incomplete or unclear in origin though there is much to glean from them regardless. <br /> <br /> Also included are three printed publications. The first is entitled Rapport du Conseiller Prive E.G. Chinkevitch Membre du Comte special de secours aux prisonniers de guerre sur la visite des camps des prissoniers Austro-Hongrois dans l'arrondissement militair d'Omsk printed in 1915. OCLC locates a single copy in France. The report outlines the observed conditions and includes twenty-six photographs of prisoners. The second is a forty-three page report addressed to James Gerard the American ambassador in Berlin by an unidentified author which outlines the prisoner of war conditions in England written in February of 1915. The third is a scarce map of Russian prisoner of war camps printed by L. Friederichsen in Hamburg in 1915 entitled Karte vom Europäischen und Asiatischen Russland mit Angabe der hauptsächlichsten Orte in denen sich Kriegsgefangene und zurückgehaltene Zivilpersonen befinden sowie mit Bestimmungen über den Postverkehr nach diesen Orten. The map shows locations of prison camps throughout the Russian Empire and also shows the mail routes. It is in fine condition overall and we locate six copies in OCLC. <br /> <br /> Overall a scarce survival of primary source material on a somewhat overlooked but important period in Russian history with relevance to diplomatic historians as well worthy of further study. <br /> <br /> Works cited: <br /> <br /> Grekov N.

SPANISH AMERICAN WAR
Remember the Maine! A Collection of Photographs and Ephemera Relating to the Sinking of the Battleship Maine in 1898
On February 15 1898 a mysterious explosion destroyed the battleship USS Maine while it was anchored in Havana Harbor killing 260 men and helping to propel the United States into war with Spain. Although the cause of the explosion was unclear American newspapers were quick to allege that the ship had been brought down by a Spanish bomb. Led by William Randolph Hearst in the New York Journal and Joseph Pulitzer in the New York World the press demanded action. Hearst's headline "Remember the Maine!" became a rallying cry that helped turn American public opinion strongly in favor of war with Spain. By April President McKinley had given into to additional pressure from hawkish senators and his own vice-president Theodore Roosevelt and war was declared. Although brief the Spanish-American War had important consequences. It ended Spain's colonial empire in the Western Hemisphere and secured the position of the United States as a Pacific power. "U.S. victory in the war produced a peace treaty that compelled the Spanish to relinquish claims on Cuba and to cede sovereignty over Guam Puerto Rico and the Philippines to the United States. The United States also annexed the independent state of Hawaii during the conflict. Thus the war enabled the United States to establish its predominance in the Caribbean region and to pursue its strategic and economic interests in Asia" Office of the Historian U.S. State Department.<br/><br/>This collection consists of approximately 120 items including original photographs printed and real photo postcards stereoviews commemorative programs patriotic covers postal stamps calling cards song sheets lithographs and other ephemera showing the Maine as she appeared before the disaster the wreckage and salvage efforts the funeral service and burials of the victims first at Cristobal Colon Cemetery in Havana later at Arlington National Cemetery and some of the myriad ways in which the Maine was memorialized and mythologized in American popular culture. Original photographs and real photo postcards capture the ship and crew prior to the disaster crowds of sailors lined up to pay their respects to the victims the coffins being transported the cemetery dotted with freshly dug graves elaborate floral wreaths and memorials and salvage efforts in the immediate aftermath of the disaster and in 1911 when the ship was raised before being towed out to sea to its final resting place at the bottom of the ocean. The wide reach of the patriotic feelings aroused by the disaster can be seen in two cabinet cards of young children wearing U.S.S. Maine hats as well as on items that have no military or national connection e.g. a high school commencement program a blotter advertising corsets yet bear images of the Maine or the "Remember the Maine" slogan. On envelopes and stationery we see images of Uncle Sam punching a Spainiard an eagle dubbed "the New Bird in Havana Harbor" and troops walking toward a ship under the heading "On to Cuba." A mendicant uses the Maine as his theme on a card handed out to solicit alms; a song by a writer of sensational crime broadsides is reported to have been "composed and written during the indecision of the U.S. Government" and urges "Let's show all foreign powers Aye the haughty sons of Spain they will brook no insult like the Sinking of the Maine." A particularly unusual item is an envelope illustrated with an image of the remains of the ship captioned "WHO DID IT" containing illustrated sheets of tissue with instructions to blow them up via a small "fuse" on the back. In all an illuminating collection that helps demonstrate the impact of both the incident and how it captured the popular imagination -- such that many Americans still recognize the "Remeber the Maine!" rallying cry today even if they no longer know what it represents. unknown books

INTERVIEW BETWEEN SHERMAN & JOHNSON sic
Philadelphia: P.S. Duval & Son LIth. 1865. Broadside lithograph oblong 10-1/8" x 6-3/4." Some foxing at the margins else Very Good.<br/><br/> This is an extremely rare lithograph by Duval depicting General Joe Johnston's surrender of his army to General Sherman on April 18. "Peter Stephen Duval the most prominent Philadelphia lithographer of the 19th-century was born ca. 1804/5 in France. He emigrated from France to Philadelphia in the fall of 1831 to accept a job as a lithographer with the printing firm of Childs & Inman. By 1837 he had established his own lithographic printing shop and remained in business until his retirement in 1869" online Library Company article on Duval. <br/> "Sherman studies the surrender terms as his vanquished opponent Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston waits with evident unease in this rare depiction of the meeting at the Bennett House in Durham North Carolina. The print erred in showing the principals with their staffs; Sherman remembered that 'we were alone together.' Unlike Appomattox the Bennett House surrender quickly had a shadow cast over it when the War Department disallowed Sherman's terms and this scene never rivalled the meeting of Lee and Grant in iconographic memory." Neely and Holzer THE UNION IMAGE: POPULAR PRINTS OF THE CIVIL WAR NORTH. UNC Press: 2000. Page 194 Figure 98. In our copy the face of the man standing behind Sherman differs slightly from the Neely-Holzer illustration.<br/>Neely & Holzer 194.

Japanese Internment World War II
WWII Japanese Internment Camp- Departure Check List From Attests to The Internment of Entire Families
World War II Original Departure Document from the closing of the camps. Single page typed representing the difference between interment and freedom for forcibly relocated Japanese-American citizens. Has spaces for the Date Time Name of the Family and a checklist before departure. The fact that entire families were forcibly relocated is reflected in the simple question "Will Individual or Family Depart As Scheduled" <br/><br/>About 120000 people were incarcerated and interned in the camps from 1942-1946 of which 30000 were children. Colonel Karl Bendetsen the architect behind the program went so far as saying anyone with "one drop of Japanese blood" qualified. In 1943 Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes wrote "the situation in at least some of the Japanese internment camps is bad and is becoming worse rapidly." Many camps were built quickly by civilian contractors during the summer of 1942 based on designs for military barracks making the buildings poorly equipped for cramped family living. Throughout many camps twenty-five people were forced to live in space built to contain four. Armed guards were posted at the camps which were all in remote desolate areas far from population centers. Medical conditions and in-camp schooling was similarly poor. The phrase "shikata ga nai" loosely translated as "it cannot be helped" was commonly used to summarize the interned families' resignation to their helplessness throughout these conditions an attitude adopted to shield children from the massive trauma experienced by their parents. Provenance: Emily Brown a general's daughter who worked for the camps and wrote reports on their closing. Toning. Two hole punches presumably from original clipboard at top. Clean. In near-fine condition. unknown books

DECLARATION OF WAR World War II
GERMANY HAS DECLARED WAR ON THE UNITED STATES" Original US Navy Cable Dispatch
World War II U.S. Navy. Navy Original Cable Dispatch declaring "GERMANY HAS DECLARED WAR ON THE UNITED STATES." U.S.S. Biscayne heading The cable was sent from the Secretary of Navy "SECNAV". 8" x 6.5" inches. Dated "11 Dec 1941". Two punch holes along top edge. In near-fine condition. On December 11th 1941 four days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States' declaration of war against the Japan Nazi Germany declared war against the United States bringing America which had been neutral into WW II. With a single page the fates of hundreds of thousands of Americans currently serving in the US Navy was decided: World War II had officially begun for America. <br/><br/>At the time of this telegram The U.S. Navy was officially neutral but was already attacking German U-boats in the Atlantic. On Thursday 11 December 1941 American Chargé d'Affaires Leland B. Morris the highest ranking American diplomat in Germany was summoned to Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop's office where Ribbentrop read Morris the formal declaration of war the meeting lasted 3 minutes from 2:18 to 2:21 pm Berlin time. At 3:30 p.m. on December 11 1941 the German charge d'affaires in Washington handed American Secretary of State Cordell Hull a copy of the declaration of war. Roosevelt wrote to Congress on that same day asking them to declare war on Germany and Italy the motion passed through both houses without dissent the declaration was signed by Roosevelt at 3:00 pm EST. This original US NAVY cable dispatch is from the day of the declaration itself and has a Time stamp of 1451 GCT 2:51 PM- Greenwich Civil Time <br/><br/>Hitler's declaration of war against the United Sates is generally seen as an enormous strategic blunder on his part as it allowed the United States to enter the European war in support of the United Kingdom and the Allies without much public opposition while still facing the Japanese threat in the Pacific. Hitler had in fact committed Germany to fight the US while in the midst of a war against Russia and without having first defeated the UK instead of taking the option of putting off a conflict with the US for as long as possible. Hitler's lack of knowledge about the US and its industrial capacity for mounting a war on two fronts probably led him to this fatal decision. unknown books

These guides provide a concise yet rich example of wartime indoctrination and the resulting cultural associations and relationships formed within the average American by the war.<br/><br/> All 18 guide books are war dated and they include: Alaska 1943; Australia 1944; Egypt 1943; France 1944; Paris and Cities of Northern France 1944; Cities of Southern France 1944; Great Britain 1944; India 1944; Iran 1943; Iraq 1943; Italian Cities 1944; New Caledonia 1944; New Guinea and the Solomons 1944; New Zealand 1943; Northern Ireland 1942; Panama 1943; Syria 1942; West Africa 1943. Washington DC: War and Navy Departments 1942-1944. Stapled bindings. 5.25" x 4.25" inches. All first editions. Written often in a casual approachable way From the Pocket Guide to Iraq: "Herr Hitler knows he's licked if the peoples united against him stand their ground" these guides repeatedly drill in the strategic necessity for Americans to create diplomatic relations wherever they are stationed. For example from the Pocket Guide to New Zealand: "Always remember that it is to our enemies' advantage to sow seeds of discord between us and our allies and it is to our advantage to understand them and to make them our friends." They also illustrate explicit policy motivations as with the Pocket Guide to Iran: "As an American soldier assigned to duty in Iran once called Persia you are undertaking the most important job of your life. There is no other war theater where military success by the United States and her fighting allies will contribute more to final victory over the axis. You've heard a lot of talk in this war about life lines - the sea lanes and land routes by which military supplies flow into the combat zones to be turned against the enemy. Iran is much more that a life line. It is a major source of the power that keeps the United Nations' military machine turning over -- oil. Because of its prime strategic value Iran in the only country in the world where the armies of three of the United Nations -- Great Britain Russia and the United States -- are operating in daily touch with each other . You as an American have a responsibility that goes beyond the ordinary military duties required of you. Your country has a reputation throughout the world for decency and unselfishness in its dealings with other nations. That reputation is a major asset for us in this global war. By your actions you can uphold it or destroy it." Includes period maps of the respective regions as well as cartoon illustrations to accompany the instructional text. Scattered soiling and wear. Altogether very good. unknown books

World War II Front Germans
Collection of Over 90 Vintage World War II Photos of German Soldiers on the French and Russian Fronts
Collection of over 90 Gelatin silver print vintage black and white photos of German World War II soldiers on the French and Russian fronts. The photos depict life in the barracks preparing tanks for battle on the front grave sites countryside and city destruction and close up portraits of the young men. The Germans' army military was managed through mission-based tactics rather than order-based tactics which was intended to give commanders greater freedom to act on events and exploit opportunities. In public opinion the German Army was and sometimes still is seen as a high-tech army. However such modern equipment while featured much in propaganda was often only available in relatively small numbers. This was primarily because the country was not run as a war economy until 1942-1943. Only 40% to 60% of all units in the Eastern Front were motorized baggage trains often relied on horse-drawn trailers due to poor roads and weather conditions in the Soviet Union and for the same reasons many soldiers marched on foot or used bicycles. Such details appear in this photo collection. Photos come in their original envelope and have some age related foxing and creasing. Overall good condition. unknown books
