Girls of Weimar Berlin by Barbara Ulrich, 1927.

I've come late to the German series, Babylon Berlin. I can't praise it enough. This is incredible, stylish storytelling. It's flash and substance. This is better Television than Hollywood has ever produced. Once again, Netflix connects its customers to great content being produced around the world.

Babylon Berlin is set in 1929 Berlin, during the decline of the Weimer Republic and the rise of National Socialism. It depicts that grime and despair hiding beneath the glitzy hedonism of the Roaring Twenties.

Do you think the weimer republic could have sorted it's issues and survived? Or did it have too many factors against it? I feel even if hitler never comes to power there would have been another right wing group like the old prussian militarists to fill the gap, but if it had avoided some of the bad economic choices (like endlessly printing money to pay for versailles) it could have survived as well. It seems it could really have gone either way?

I actually discussed that in my podcast series on the Weimar Republic on @boiledleather. Essentially, what could have been done to forestall the rise of Adolf Hitler, and what would the shape of Germany had been. Kurt von Schleicher could potentially have had an aristocratic German state, which would still have probably caused problems on its eastern border, that's one route. Bruhning not trying to crash the government with intentionally bad economic policy and the government utilizing the Schwartz-Rot-Guld to beat down the SA and the Rotkampferbund was another, which would have been similar to France in the 1930's with open street brawling. Stresemann not dying might have also seen a successful coalition of parties and used sensible economic policies to help weather the Depression, possibly using Argentina and the UK to help replace lost US funding - it'd be a hard slog until about 1933-35ish.

While the mistruths about exactly who could have stopped Hitler when is one of my all-time pet peeves of bad history, there were ways that it could be written that is both realistic and sensible.

Thanks for the question, Cat.

Otto dix

Otto Dix is an artist that lived through both world wars, and whose are was shaped by the conflicts.

He was a German painter who was highly critical of the Weimer republic, when Nazi's came into power he was denounced and fired from his job at an academy, forced to draw inoffensive landscapes

While his art criticising his leaders was often Satirical, his work about the conflicts were gritty, black and white, and haunting.

A MODERN DANCE OF DEATH - by Frans Fiedler- German Weimer Republic

A weird and wonderful album of life's dance with sex, love and death by the eccentric photographer Franz Fiedler (1885-1956). which shows a nude woman with a skeleton in various erotic poses. The preceding text, tells about death who is a fool and her playmate. A wonderful and in every sense of the world unique album, made against the backdrop of unstable Weimar republic, in which hedonism, sex and fear where indeed intimated companions. Fiedler won at the 1911 world exhibition in Turin the first prize and had another exhibition in Prague in 1913. He belonged to the circle of Jaroslav Hašek and Egon Erwin Kisch and in 1916 married Erna Hauswald in Dresden where he occupied astudio at Sedanstraße 7. From 1919, he began to work with a 9×12 folding camera and in 1924 became one of the first professional photographers to use a Leica. After expanding his studio in 1925, he took part in the exhibition "Film und Foto" in Stuttgart. The outstanding publication on the city of Dresden, conceived in the spirit of Die Neue Sachlichkeit, is one of the first illustrated works created according to the new principles of photography. It marks a turning point in his work. Fiedler's studio was destroyed on 13 February 1945. All that was left was a box with photographs for an exhibition which was deposited with his family in Moravia. After 1945 he did not have his own studio and earned a living in the GDR as author of books on photography. Anneliese Kretschmer, Dortmund, is one of his pupils.

The postwar Fire Nation is primed for a “stab in the back myth,” which wouldn’t even be totally a myth. The Fire Nation was on the verge of victory, and only lost due to a handful of traitors(Zuko, Iroh, Piandao, Jeong Jeong), one of which who proclaimed himself Firelord in the aftermath. The level of anger and resentment which develops in the postwar Fire Nation is likely to exceed anything the Weimer Republic experienced(at the very least the Weimer Republic had strong social bases in the SPD and the Centre Party. Zuko’s regime has nothing).

Have you ever researched famous people born on your birthday? I have. I share a birthday with Babe Ruth, Bob Marley, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Queen Anne, Isidor Strauss, J.E.B. Stuart, Tom Brokaw, and, of course, a great many others. Two of the more fascinating, by contrast, were born a year apart. The one born in 1911 was a man. The one born in 1912 was a woman. He was an American patriot and…

FAVOURITE SINGERS: Lotte Lenya.

I have been a fan of Berthold Brecht, Kurt Weill, and Lotte Lenya, since I was a late teenager. I loved that huge burst of creative energy that was the Weimer Republic, snuffed out by the clinical madness of the nazis. And as to the voice of Lotte Lenya - perfect. Others have sung Brecht/Weill, but no one quite like Lotte Lenya. Her singing Surabaya Johnny has to be a real, all-time favourite.

Sucks that a lot of the people that were hurt the most by the Knot also depended on it for their existence. I wanted to see Hanno Tauber get to live his best Weimer Republic twink life

Azula, Iroh, Zuko, Imperial Japan, Teenage Soldiers, and Coming to Terms with Failed Ideologies.

Below is the summary of the journal of a teenage Japanese Navy sailor who came home after World War II to face defeat and irresponsibility. It has obvious implications for the postwar path of Azula and other child soldiers like her, and for the Fire Nation more generally.  It also has huge implications for how people might respond to Zuko and particularly Iroh’s behavior, might respond to their refusal to accept responsibility.

Dower, W. John. Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II. New York City, NY: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc. 2000.  Pages 339-345.

For those of you interested in Imperial Japan, or in the Fire Nation potential path after the war, I would highly recommend this book. It’s amazing in general.  Dower also wrote War Without Mercy: Race & Power In the Pacific War, which is another absolutely amazing book. 

Admittedly, Zuko’s regime is far more likely to follow the path of the Weimer Republic than it is to follow the path of postwar Japan, but that’s another story.

@lightdancer1 @ultranos​ you might find this particularly interesting, given the fics you are writing.

In 1889, on November 1 in Gotha, Germany Anna Therese Johanne Hoch, who later would be known as Hannah Hoch was born. Being the eldest of five children, the girl was brought up in a comfortable and quiet environment of the small town. Her parents, a supervisor in an insurance company and an amateur painter sent her to Girl’s High school. However, at the age of 15 Hannah had to quit studying for the long six years to take care of her newborn sister. Only in 1912 she continued her education with Harold Bengen in School of Applied Arts, mastering glass design. As the World War I broke up Hannah returned to the native town to work in the Red Cross. The first years after war the young woman recommenced her studying, getting to know graphic arts. 1915 was highlighted by an acquaintance with an Austrian artist Raoul Hausmann, which grew into the long-lasting romantic relationship and involvement in Berlin Dada movement. For ten years till 1926 Hoch worked in Berlin’s major publisher of newspapers and magazines. Her task was to design embroidering, knitting and crocheting patterns for the booklets. Being on vacation with her beloved in 1918, Hannah discovered ‘the principle of photomontage in cut-and-paste images that soldiers sent to their families’ (National gallery of Art). This find affected greatly on her artistic production, and she created mass-media photographs comprising the elements of photomontage and handwork patterns, thus combining traditional and modern culture. Her prior preoccupation was to represent the ‘new woman’ of the Weimar Republic with new social role and given freedoms. Hoch was the only woman in Berlin Dada, who took part in all kinds of events and exhibitions showcasing her socially critical works of art. Till 1931 she participated in exhibitions but with the rise of National Social regime was forbidden to present her creative work. Till her last breath in 1978 Hannah Hoch lived and worked in the outskirts of Berlin-Heiligensee. The piece of art which is going to be analyzed in this research is ‘The beautiful girl’ designed in 1919–1920. It combines the elements of technology and females. In the middle of the picture one can clearly see a woman dressed in a modern bathing suit with a light bulb on her head which probably serves as a sun umbrella. In the background a large advertisement with a woman’s hair-do on top is presented. Maud Lavin describes strange human as ‘she is part human, part machine, part commodity’ (Lavin). The woman is surrounded by the images of industrialization as tires, gears, signals and BMW logos. A woman’s profile with the cat eyes, untrusting and skeptical, in the upper right corner is eye-catching as well. This unusually large eye symbolizes DADA movement — a monocle, which is present in almost every Hoch’s work. The colour scheme does not offer rich palette of tints, including mostly black, white, orange and red pieces. The photo is surrounded by the BMW circles which add the spots of blue. An apt description of the piece is given in the book ‘Cut with the Kitchen Knife’ and states that it is ‘a portrait of a modern woman defined by signs of femininity, technology, media and advertising’ (Lavin). In other words Hannah Hoch focused on the woman of the new age, free and keeping up with the fast-moving world. The artist promoted feministic ideas and from her point of view urbanization and modern technologies were meant to give hope to woman to gain equality of genders. With this photomontage she commented on how the woman was expected to combine the role of a wife and mother with the role of a worker in the industrialized world. The light bulb instead of a face shows that women were perceived as unthinking machines which do not question their position and can be turned on or off at any time at man’s will. But at the same time they were to remain attractive to satisfy men’s needs. The watch is viewed as the representation of how quickly women are to adapt to the changes. In a nutshell, Hoch concentrated on two opposite visions of the modern woman: the one from the television screens — smoking, working, wearing sexy clothes, voting and the real one who remained being a housewife. The beautiful girl’ is an example of the art within the DADA movement. An artistic and literal current began in 1916 as the reaction to World War I and spread throughout Northern America and Europe. Every single convention was challenged and bourgeois society was scandalized. The Dadaists stated that over-valuing conformity, classism and nationalism among modern cultures led to horrors of the World War I. In other words, they rejected logic and reason and turned to irrationality, chaos and nonsense. The first DADA international Fair was organized in Berlin in 1920 exposing a shocking discontentment with military and German nationalism (Dada. A five minute history). Hannah Hoch was introduced to the world of DADA by Raoul Hausman who together with Kurt Schwitters, Piet Mondrian and Hans Richter was one of the influential artists in the movement. Hoch became the only German woman who referred to DADA. She managed to follow the general Dadaist aesthetic, but at the same time she surely and steadily incorporated a feminist philosophy. Her aim was to submit female equality within the canvass of other DADA’s conceptions. Though Hannah Hoch officially was a member of the movement, she never became the true one, because men saw her only as ‘a charming and gifted amateur artist’ (Lavin). Hans Richter, an unofficial spokesperson shared his opinion about the only woman in their community in the following words: ‘the girl who produced sandwiches, beer and coffee on a limited budget’ forgetting that she was among the few members with stable income. In spite of the gender oppressions, Hannah’s desire to convey her idea was never weakened. Difficulties only strengthened her and made her an outstanding artist. A note with these return words was found among her possessions: ‘None of these men were satisfied with just an ordinary woman. But neither were they included to abandon the (conventional) male/masculine morality toward the woman. Enlightened by Freud, in protest against the older generation. . . they all desired this ‘New Woman’ and her groundbreaking will to freedom. But — they more or less brutally rejected the notion that they, too, had to adopt new attitudes. . . This led to these truly Strinbergian dramas that typified the private lives of these men’ (Maloney). Hoch’s technique was characterized by fusing male and female parts of the body or bodies of females from different epochs — a ‘traditional’ woman and ‘modern’, liberated and free of sexual stereotypes one. What’s more, combining male and female parts, the female ones were always more distinctive and vibrant, while the male ones took their place in the background. Hannah created unique works of art experimenting with paintings, collages, graphic and photography. Her women were made from bits and pieces from dolls, mannequins of brides or children as these members of the society were not considered as valuable. Today Hannah Hoch is most associated with her famous photomontage ‘Cut with the kitchen knife DADA through the last Weimer Beer-Belly Cultural epoch of Germany’ (1919–1920). This piece of art highlights social confusion during the era of Weimar Republic, oppositionists and government radicals (Grabner). In spite of never being truly accepted by the rest of her society, this woman with a quiet voice managed to speak out loud her feministic message. Looking at Hannah Hoch’s art for the first time I found it confusing, because couldn’t comprehend the meaning. It was quite obvious that every single piece and structure is a symbol of the era, its ideas and beliefs. However, after having learned about her life and constant endeavors to declare about female’s right, little by little I started to realize what’s what. As an object for research I chose ‘The beautiful girl’ as, to my mind, its theme and message intersects with the modern tendency: a successful, clever, beautiful and free woman has to become one in no time, cause the world is moving faster and faster. I enjoyed working with this artist as her example is inspiring and is worth following.
