Deutsche Besatzungsverwaltung in Lettland 1941-1945. Eine Kommunikations- und Kulturgeschichte nationalsozialistischer Organisationen

Sven Jüngerkes delves into a crucial yet often overlooked chapter of history, focusing on the German occupation of Latvia between 1941 and 1945. Through meticulous research, he examines the intricate web of communication and cultural exchanges orchestrated by Nazi organizations during this tumultuous period. The narrative explores how these entities influenced the lives of everyday Latvians, shaping their experiences under occupation with a mix of propaganda, coercion, and cultural interaction.

Jüngerkes not only highlights the roles played by various bureaucratic and military organizations but also sheds light on the local responses and adaptations to the German presence. This multifaceted examination offers a fresh perspective on the dynamics of power, resistance, and collaboration, revealing how occupiers and the occupied navigated their complex realities.

With an emphasis on both institutional practices and personal stories, this work serves as a significant contribution to understanding the cultural history of occupied territories during World War II, providing valuable insights into the broader implications of occupation and governance.
