The CONDE project seeks to explore deindustrialisation in a systematic historical perspective and place it in wider political, economic, social and cultural contexts. The project is led by the Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History (IfZ) in Munich. C²DH is one of nine collaborating institutions. C²DH histori...

The aim is to break with the traditional historiography surrounding the 'forced recruits' and to critically examine established narratives within the country's overarching historical discourse. Rather than treating these young men as a homogeneous group, the project explores the personal experiences of the soldiers,...
