Burschenschaft(German: “youth association”) German student organization that started as an expression of the nationalism prevalent in post-Napoleonic Europe. First appearing in 1815, the early groups were liberal and egalitarian and favored the political unification of Germany. The groups were suppressed under the Carlsbad Decrees and went underground until 1848, when they participated in the German revolution (see Revolutions of 1848). After German unification, they adopted a new and aggressive nationalism. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | By 1818 there was a union of Burschenschaften that brought together student organizations from universities across the German states. The camera focuses briefly on the face of Josef Kramer, the former commandant of Belsen, whose unusually brutal appearance - small eyes cast to the side; thick neck; beefy cheeks ribboned with Schmiesse, the dueling scars that were points of pride for members of the fraternal Burschenschaften - makes him a helpful exemplar of the kind of person responsible for such crimes. |
