Eine Organisation, die gar nicht existiert, soll überall verboten und ihe nicht existierenden Mitglieder verhaftet werden. Bis vor wenigen Jahren wäre solches politisches Personal ausgelacht und zum Psychiater geschickt worden. Heute bekleidet es Präsidenten- und Ministerämter.

@weimarfilmnetwork.bsky.social Hello there! Could I possibly ask you to share this CfC on Masculinities in Weimar Cinema? :)

Very much looking forward to speaking at the Stanley Burton Centre on 1 October - do come along and support the brilliant work of our colleagues in the Department of History at the University of Leicester.

Your periodic reminder that the 'hostile environment' was pioneered by the previous Labour government. www.ft.com/content/d97e...

‘Prejudice against the disabled was still so widespread that in 1980 a Frankfurt court ordered the reimbursement of the cost of a hotel to a tourist who had been upset by the presence of a group of guests with cerebral palsy.’ Richard J. Evans on German eugenics: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

A nice post from @unisouthampton.bsky.social remembering Edgar Feuchtwanger, whose generosity to me as his rather less illustrious replacement as tutor in Gernan history i remember well www.linkedin.com/posts/univer...

My new article on Anglo-German relations prior to 1914 (the introduction to a special issue) has just come out online for the journal 'German History'. academic.oup.com/gh/advance-a...

The @royalmusical.bsky.social is honouring me with a roundtable to discuss the implications of my book both for scholarship and for the contemporary musical world at its annual conference next week - very much hope to see musical friends there! Listing below: www.southampton.ac.uk/~assets/doc/...

If you weren't planning to be in Vienna on 30 October you still have time to change your schedule - looking forward to sharing a few thoughts with colleagues there: oegmw.at/veranstaltun...

If you believe there’s no such thing as too many books, here’s a wonderful opportunity for a bargain, including titles in our “Studies in German History” series… www.berghahnbooks.com/series/studi...

I would so love to see a similar initiative in the UK, but it just feels unthinkable.

The cordon sanitaire (which was always a bit of a myth, recall Alan Clark and the Monday Club crowd) between the Tories and the far right is now well and truly gone. But our media can't bring itself to acknowledge this disturbing fact.

This is well worth 10 minutes of your time - www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Es ist wirklich bitter, wenn Vertreter*innen der vorgeblichen Parteien der Mitte, rechtsextreme Talking Points wiedergeben. Hier aus der Hamburger FDP. Die Merz-Union macht es doch gerade vor, dass man durch Übernahme rechter Ideen, die Rechten nicht halbiert, sondern stärkt

Saddened to read of the untimely passing of Wulf Kansteiner - thoughts with his family and those who knew him well.

Really wasn’t expecting a review in @thewiremagazine.bsky.social but thanks very much!

Likely a long shot, but might any #earlymodern musicologists be able to identify these bars? There are numerous settings by Campion, Morley, Gautier in this Scottish ms, so I wondered if it was recognisable as any of theirs, or indeed someone else’s. As a lit historian, it’s beyond me, sadly.

Raquel Ayora, @msf.ca General Director: “In MSF’s nearly 54 years of operations,rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.The GHF distribution sites masquerading as ‘aid’ have morphed into a laboratory of cruelty.This must stop now.” www.msf.org/ghf-run-food...

I'm so pleased to share that my first book, "Reinventing Protestant Germany," appears today with @harvardpress.bsky.social. It offers a new take on West Germany's winding path toward postwar democracy, highlighting the ambivalent role of the Protestant Church. www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067...

A proper 12-month replacement post with decent salary (for UKHE, at least) in modern European history. Belfast is a decent place to live - relatively affordable apart from extortionate pint prices - and I can personally vouch for what a great & friendly School we have. www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DOE451/l...

Please join us on 9 September for this exciting #event, and to celebrate the #launch of my new #book, A #History of England in 25 Poems.

An important statement which I wholeheartedly support.

Delighted to see my forthcoming book - The Long Death of Adolf Hitler - is now available for preorder... yalebooks.co.uk/book/9780300... 👀

Nice to be back in @historytoday.com after a wee gap of 15 years, with a few thoughts on Alec Ryrie’s new ‘The Age of Hitler and How We Will Survive It’. Interesting, enjoyable, not entirely persuasive but I have tried to disagree well.

Another new low. Prospective Reform Home Secretary, while discussing the violence in Epping referring to immigration as ‘racial terrorism’. ‘Some would say’ (typical slippery qualifier) doesn’t wash because only someone from the extreme right would say this. So inflammatory.

RIP Roger Norrington www.br-klassik.de/aktuell/news...

It was a pleasure to talk with @melekfirataltay.bsky.social for the New Books Network podcast - megaphone.link/NBNK4795577331

Thrilled that 'Home After Fascism' has received the 2025 BIAJS Book Prize! Many thanks to the #BIAJS and especially to the prize committee for their kind words! bajsbulletin.wpcomstaging.com/2025/07/08/b...

A few (more) thoughts on Mein Kampf, 100 years on compass.icwa.org/p/mein-kampf...

Beautiful stillness up Ben Macdui.

After 12 months of mending, physio, gym the final bit of rehab - a gentle stroll up Mullach Clach a Bhlair and Sgor Gaoith with great views of the 4000ers. If walking the hills is your thing, do consider a donation to the nearest MRT!

Great pleasure to speak at the Barenboim-Said Akademie tonight - an informed, engaged, thoughtful audience, and a great setting in which to speak. A real joy.

So I accepted the invitation to submit to the 'Page 99 test' - quite fun to do. page99test.blogspot.com/2025/06/neil...

It was a pleasure to present the new book at Arundells yesterday - a nice event. Particular thanks to the lady who got the date wrong and turned up thinking she was going to hear John Major. She stayed - whether out of politeness or because she didn’t spot the difference I don’t know!

Veranstaltungstipp von @nsdoku.bsky.social und @leibniz-ifz.bsky.social für alle, die in den Pfingstferien daheim bleiben ☺️👇

It's publication day for the latest book by Soton History's Neil Gregor, The Symphony Concert in Nazi Germany, which tells a new history of how the musical worlds of German towns and cities were transformed during the Nazi era. Congratulations to Neil! press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

Here it is - my book on the interpreters at the first Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial is now out in physical form (not in open access for a year or two unfortunately) but good to hold a copy www.bloomsbury.com/uk/interpret...

So my 1982 school report floated to the surface - frankly it’s a mystery I made it as far as 6th form…..
