The latest issue of the bundeswehr-journal has a special section dedicated to war memorials. The background is the new initiative to create a memorial for the Bundeswehr dead in Berlin, an initiatve which has since been postponed. One of the articles is by yours truly:

Über den Tod des Staatsbürgers für die Nation. bundeswehr-journal November 2007 (2. Jahrgang), 12-15.

The article had to be shortened to cut out several of the examples and some of the interpretive content. A full version of the same article with links to various examples will be made available at sites-of-memory.de some time in the future.

Other articles on the same theme include one by the editor of the journal, Christian Dewitz, as well as reprints of articles by Werner Sonne, Manfred Hettling, and Christian Saehrendt.

The bundeswehr-journal is produced by Christian Dewitz, a lieutenant colonel in the Bundeswehr reserves, and is read widely in German defense and foreign policy circles.
