Geschichtschreibung und Geschichtsbewußtsein im hohen Mittelalter
Der Gegenwartsbezug jeder Geschichtsschreibung ist bislang kaum systematisch untersucht worden. Das in diesem Buch behandelte hohe Mittelalter, eine wichtige "Umbruchs- und Krisenzeit" in der Geschichte sowohl des Denkens wie des Handelns innerhalb der Epoche des Mittelalters, eignet sich für einen solchen Ansatz in besonderer Weise: Es conflict, used to be die gebildeten Schichten anbelangt, unbestritten eine Epoche hohen Geschichtsbewusstseins, die erstmals seit der Spätantike wieder große geschichtstheologische Synthesen, zum Beispiel bei Hugo von St.

I suggested Fritsch next. He crossed to his writing-desk and handed to me an indictment personally signed by Giirtner, the Minister of Justice, charging Fritsch with an offence under Paragraph 175 of the penal code. He informed me that he had had this indictment in his hands for some time already, but had 47 suppressed it up to now as he had not believed the charge. But now that the question of the succession had suddenly and unexpectedly become acute the matter would have to be cleared up, and in these circumstances he could no longer allow things to rest as they were.
In view of my candour in my dealings with Brauchitsch it would not have been too difficult for him to have turned Hitler against me or to have awakened his mistrust in me, for in that respect Hitler was more than sensitive and he never failed to follow these things up. I know from Brauchitsch himself that in 1939 [General] Milch, the Secretary of State for Air, was being nominated to replace me. There would certainly have been endeavours from the Army's side to eliminate me as well, had they been able to find even one person prepared to accept my thorny office.
All these were only half measures and they did more harm than good; they evoked immediate criticism from the broad mass of the generals. Nobody knows better than Brauchitsch or I how heavy was the burden that he had inherited: Fritsch had enjoyed unlimited respect and admiration, and his shameless hounding had caused a wave of unjustified bitterness. Brauchitsch was harried day and night by Beck and the commanding generals all demanding that he speak out for his predecessor's immediate rehabilitation and reinstatement, insisting on Hitler's promoting him to field-marshal, and the like.
