Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Lutz and Primel follows several electrical and construction companies including Siemens, AEG, and Philipp Holzmann, to wartime Ukraine, the most important arena of German economic exploitation in Eastern Europe. They trace their role within the occupation regime, their crucial contribution to the war, and their own goals in the process. Through a detailed examination of the giant, world-renowned hydroelectric power plant DniproGES (Dneprostoi), they argue that private business both literally and metaphorically powered German conquest, occupation, and the continuing war effort.
