This is the first paperback edition of a book which originally appeared under the title "South-West Africa Under German Rule", and appears with a new introduction by the author. The history of Namibia offers many parallels to developments in other European colonies. The settlers, with a greater or lesser use of force, established themselves in the country and their confrontation with the African population often culminated in rebellion in the area of major settlement; a European settler community would then consolidate itself over the ruins left by military conquest. The pattern was repeated in Namibia during the Nama and Herero wars. Helmut Bley shows how the roots of German totalitarianism stem from the colonial period. He provides a picture of how social insecurity, bureaucracy and rigid economic thinking produced the racialism and the extremism of the last years of German rule. The abuse of the Africans provided the roots of the abuse of the Jews.

Posen und seine Hochschuleinrichtungen waren seit den polnischen Teilungen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts immer wieder Ausgangspunkt deutsch-polnischer Auseinandersetzungen gewesen, wobei von polnischer Seite stets das gewichtige Argument einer Mehrheit der polnischen Bevölkerung in dieser Region angeführt wurde, die sich immer wieder gegen intensive Germanisierungsbestrebungen zu wehren hatte. Diese erreichten in der Zeit der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft ihren Höhepunkt, zugleich bedeuteten sie aber auch den tiefsten Punkt der deutsch-polnischen Beziehungen. Mit dieser Abhandlung wird über die bisherigen Darstellungen der «Reichsuniversität Posen» hinausgehend die Vorgeschichte dieser ausschließlich dem Nationalsozialismus verpflichteten Hochschule dargestellt. Dabei handelt es sich vor allem um die 1903 bis 1919 wirkende «Königliche Akademie in Posen» sowie die zunächst von 1919 bis 1939 bestehende polnische Universität Posen. Für die Zeit nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges werden in einem abschließenden Kapitel die Entstehung und die weitere Entwicklung der polnischen «Adam-Mickiewicz-Universität» in Posen sowie ihre nationale und internationale Bedeutung behandelt.
