Vortrag:
Laaske, London and East Berlin. The Transgressions of Wolfgang Gans Edler Herr zu Putlitz (1899-1975)

Heidelberger Ruderklub Vereinsgaststätte "Zum Achter“
Neuenheimer Landstrasse 3a
69120 Heidelberg

Beschreibung:

Dr. Muhs will speak about an Anglo-German life-story: Wolfgang Gans Edler Herr zu Putlitz who, as a German diplomat in London during the 1930s, became an informer for MI5, was flown out of Holland by them during the war when his arrest seemed imminent, returned to Germany as a naturalised British subject, but failed to find his feet in the Federal Republic and eventually defected to East Germany in 1952. 


Biographical Notes:

Dr Rudolf Muhs, Senior Lecturer in European History at Royal Holloway, University of London, studied at Freiburg im Breisgau and Edinburgh and has been teaching in London since 1987. Much of his work has been concerned with Anglo-German political and cultural relations, mainly in the 19th century. He is currently engaged in a study of the Nazi Landesgruppe in Britain during the 1930s and, as an offshoot from that, has become interested in the fascinating life story of Wolfgang Gans Edler Herr zu Putlitz.
