Wer waren die SS-Totenkopfverbande? Welche Menschen steckten hinter der Fassade der einzelnen Fuhrungspersonlichkeiten dieser Verbande, speziell im Konzentrationslager Buchenwald?Ziel dieser Studie ist es, darzustellen, welche SS-Totenkopfeinheiten in den Jahren des Bestehens des Konzentrationslagers Buchenwald von 1937 bis 1945 auf dem Ettersberg ihren Dienst verrichteten. Dazu werden Verpflegungs- und Bekleidungslisten sowie Laufzettel aus der damaligen Zeit herangezogen, die belegen, dass Angehrige bestimmter Einheiten in Buchenwald tatschlich eingekleidet und versorgt wurden. Anhand dieser Listen kann zudem die Struktur dieser SS-Verbnde rekonstruiert werden. Ein weiterer Aspekt der Studie sind die Fhrungspersnlichkeiten dieser Einheiten. Verschiedene Personalakten von unterschiedlichen Personen, bezogen auf ihre Funktionen und Dienstrnge, werden dazu betrachtet. Deutlich wird dabei, dass es sich bei den SS-Fhrern zunchst um Personen aus vllig normalen Sozialstrukturen handelt, bevor sie in den Reihen der SS zu den berchtigten Ttern wurden. Alle im biographischen Teil der Arbeit aufgefhrten SS-Fhrer hatten vor ihrer Karriere in der SS brgerliche, und teilweise recht gut bezahlte Berufe. Die meisten waren bis Kriegsende und darber hinaus verheiratet, was wiederum darauf schlieen lsst, dass ihre Ttigkeit im Lager Buchenwald von den Familienangehrigen befrwortet oder zumindest toleriert wurde. Im Weiteren wird das Alltagsleben der SS im Lager Buchenwald dargestellt. Kommandanturbefehle des Lagerkommandanten Karl Koch, die fr die gesamte SS im Lager und somit auch fr die SS-Totenkopfverbnde galten, dienen hierfr als Grundlage. Aufgefhrt sind dienstliche Begebenheiten im Lager selbst sowie Geschichten, die mit dem Leben der SS-Mnner auerhalb ihrer Dienstzeit in Weimar und Umgebung in Verbindung stehen. Es handelt sich dabei teilweise um bedeutende Ereignisse, aber auch weniger bedeutsame Vorkommnisse, die es dennoch wert sind, erzhlt zu werden. Zustzlich wird die SS, ihre Entstehung und Entwicklung, ausfhrlich dargestellt. Ebenso wird die Entstehung des Konzentrationslager Buchenwald, dessen Insassen und die ihnen gegenber angewandten Strafmamanahmen berblickartig thematisiert.

The Story of The North Central College Cross Country and Track & Field TeamsRun for Fun and Personal Bests is not about trophies and championships. It's ultimately about much more important goals and lasting rewards for the student athletes who built and benefit from our North Central program.The basic responsibility of a coach should never veer from the goal of stressing core internal values that guide athletes to personal growth.I train cross country and track athletes, but this recipe, this process, should work for any athlete in any sport. I also believe it can guide other young people pursuing a personal goal in school, at work, or in their personal lives, who are asking themselves, "I know where I want to go, but how do I get there?"At times, we are all so busy working toward material outcomes for our youths that we don't have time for the most important needs they require to succeed.In a world that's becoming more materialistic, more professional, more outcome-oriented, we believe, to the contrary, that the ultimate competition is you against you.

"What begins as an exploration into why a certain popular long and brutal Tennessee footrace exists soon expands (rather humorously) into a much broader philosophical examination of why anything at all exists. Two runners in the race don't actually get very far, but spend most of their time discussing it and arguing their thoughts about almost everything. They don't like each other very much either, but they've haplessly stuck together (for survival) and do respect one another's ideas (while trying forever to argue them down). This is adventure not in the physical but in the mental sense. It will challenge just about everything you hold sacred and believe in, and it should make you think. This is not for the passive masses, the followers-blindly, or those intellectually squeamish peeps that happen to find themselves already entered--without asking why--in the (human) race, "the race that eats its young."--Back cover.

The 1968 US men's Olympic track and field team won 12 gold medals and set six world records at the Mexico City Games, one of the most dominant performances in Olympic history. The team featured such legends as Tommie Smith, Bob Beamon, Al Oerter, and Dick Fosbury. Fifty years later, the team is mostly remembered for embodying the tumultuous social and racial climate of 1968. The Black Power protest of Tommie Smith and John Carlos on the victory stand in Mexico City remains one of the most enduring images of the 1960s. Less known is the role that a 400-meter track carved out of the Eldorado National Forest above Lake Tahoe played in molding that juggernaut. To acclimate US athletes for the 7,300-foot elevation of Mexico City, the US Olympic Committee held a two-month training camp and final Olympic selection meet for the ages at Echo Summit near the California-Nevada border. Never has a sporting event of such consequence been held in such an ethereal setting. On a track in which hundreds of trees were left standing on the infield to minimize the environmental impact, four world records fell--more than have been set at any US meet since (including the 1984 and 1996 Olympics). But the road to Echo Summit was tortuous--the Vietnam War was raging, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy were assassinated, and a group of athletes based out of San Jose State had been threatening to boycott the Mexico City Games to protest racial injustice. Informed by dozens of interviews by longtime sports journalist and track enthusiast Bob Burns, this is the story of how in one of the most divisive years in American history, a California mountaintop provided an incomparable group of Americans shelter from the storm.
