The Istanbul Branch of the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) in the years 1933 until 1944.<\/p>\n
With the beginning of the National Socialist \u201cseizure of power\u201d in 1933, all state institutions of the Germany were to be reorganized in accordance with National Socialistic principles. This so-called period of \u201cGleichschaltung\u201d affected the scientific institutions abroad, such as the German Archaeological Institute in Istanbul, as well. The analysis of the branch\u2019s authority records for the years 1933 to its closure in 1944 \u2013 based on archive material \u2013 allows interesting insights into the concrete events on the ground and provides an in-depth understanding of the institutes\u2019 changing foreign cultural policy; conditioned by National Socialist propaganda. The National Socialists tried to instrumentalize the Branch in Istanbul as well as the scientific discipline for their inhumane ideology. With the years the archaeologists arranged with the Nazi-Rule as extensive correspondence prove. Even abroad, the local actors showed \u2013 in close consultation with the headquarter in Berlin \u2013 an ambivalent behavior between resistance and reluctant loyalty to the National Socialist regime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
