Walter Ulbricht's dismissal as SED.Mayor of Bremen Hans Koschnick (right) in March 1985From 1971 to 1973, he served as the director of the newly established Institute for International Politics and Economics (IPW).", "From 1973 to 1985, he was the head of the West Department, later renamed the Department of International Politics and Economics, at the SED Central Committee.", "From 1976 to 1978, he was a candidate member, until 1986 a full member of the Central Committee, and from 1984 to 1985 a full member of the Politburo, the ''de facto'' highest leadership body in East Germany, and Secretary of the Central Committee of the SED.In 1982/1983, Häber and Philipp Jenninger supported the secret German-German credit project \"Zurich Model,\" which was not realized due to the support of the billion-dollar credit negotiated between Franz Josef Strauß and Alexander Schalck-Golodkowski on the \"South route\" by Erich Honecker and Helmut Kohl.As the head of the West Department of the SED Central Committee, Häber established close contacts with politicians from West Germany.", "Honecker's policy of German-German dialogue made him the ideal advocate for Honecker's Western policy within the Politburo.", "However, this policy faced significant resistance in the Soviet Union, especially from Chernenko and Ustinov.Häber was awarded the Patriotic Order of Merit in 1964, 1966 and 1980 and the Banner of Labor in 1970.===Honecker's planned trip to West Germany===In the early summer of 1984, Honecker pushed for his plans for a state visit to West Germany, previously rejected by Moscow.",

Chernenko of the necessity of such a visit during the meeting.", "\"Write down all the reasons why a trip to Bonn is absolutely necessary,\" he told Häber, who advocated for a coalition of reason between the two German states and subsequently drafted a fundamental paper.Honecker had to cancel his planned trip to West Germany.", "\"The hidden threat from Chernenko, that deviating from the previous role of the SED as a follower of the CPSU could also have consequences for Honecker personally, prompted him to look for a scapegoat.", "He quickly found one in Herbert Häber.",

with Honecker's political self-preservation instinct, who had trusted and supported Häber until 17 August 1985.Additionally, not only did the \"Moscow faction\" in the Politburo turn against Häber, but also the other members of the SED leadership did not resist his removal, which violated the statutes.Häber was politically isolated, suffered a nervous breakdown, and was admitted to the Government Hospital in Berlin-Buch on 18 August 1985, where, on 16 September, Honecker dictated his resignation letter \"for health reasons.\"", "The SED Central Committee dismissed him from the Politburo on 22 November 1985, \"at his own request.", "\"The stated reason for his removal was doubted from the beginning in both East and West.Until 18 March 1986, Häber was then accommodated in the District Hospital for Psychiatry in Bernburg (Saale).", "Häber was meant to stay there indefinitely and his release only came from the intervention of a doctor.", "Afterward, he worked until 1989 as an employee at the Academy of Social Sciences at the SED Central Committee.", "According to Häber, the job was a sinecure with no responsibility and nothing to do.===Reunified Germany court cases===After German reunification, Häber kept the judiciary occupied for more than nine years: from the initiation of the proceedings by the State Prosecutor II responsible for prosecuting crimes of the GDR government at the Berlin Regional Court in January 1995 until the verdict of the 40th Grand Criminal Chamber of the Berlin Regional Court on 11 May 2004.In between, there was the acquittal verdict of the 32nd Grand Criminal Chamber of the Berlin Regional Court in the second Politburo trial on 7 July 2000 – against which the State Prosecutor (in Häber's case, however, not the plaintiff) had filed an appeal – and the judgment of the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) in this matter on 6 November 2002.In the second Politburo trial, Herbert Häber, along with Politburo members Siegfried Lorenz and Hans-Joachim Böhme, had to answer for manslaughter by omission.", "The 5th (Leipzig) Criminal Senate of the Federal Court of Justice had overturned the verdict of the Berlin Regional Court and referred the case for a new trial and decision to another criminal chamber of the regional court.", "This, the 40th Grand Criminal Chamber, concluded the proceedings against Häber on 25 March 2004.His case, viewed differently from the beginning in the second Politburo trial, not least due to the statements of many witnesses – especially West German politicians, historians, and political observers – was concluded in three trial days with the surprising verdict quoted at the beginning.On 11 May 2004, Häber was found guilty by the Berlin Regional Court of incitement to triple murder.", "The accused, as a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the SED, was deemed co-responsible for the deaths of three people shot at the former inner-German border, according to the court.", "However, Häber was not punished, as the court refrained from imposing a penalty on him.", "This decision was based on the argument that during his tenure in the political leadership of the GDR, Häber had advocated for a moderation of the border regime, leading to significant, including personal, disadvantages for him." ], [ "References" ] ]

four specific actors: the German Southeast Command, Allied Mediterranean Command, NOVJ and JVuO, they had specific interests in Serbia, and based on them they formulated their strategies.", "Coalitions were formed based on matching interests.From the end of 1943.The Allies changed their attitude towards Mihailović's forces, and the priority of their policy in Yugoslavia became helping to strengthen the NOVJ forces in Serbia The Supreme Headquarters of the NOVJ made plans to support the strengthening of partisan forces in Serbia by the penetration of stronger forces from Bosnia and Montenegro.", "The German command, as well as Mihailović, were determined to prevent it.Considering the Drina as a natural obstacle suitable for defense, the NOVJ plans consisted in concentrating forces on the left side of the Lim, where units collected and prepared for penetration deep into Serbia.", "Germany Southeast Command with this in mind decided to defend Serbia with active actions - by preventing the movement of units of the NOVJ through Bosnia across the west, as well as a series of large and ambitious operations in Sandžak and eastern Bosnia calculated to break the NOVJ concentrations and disable them for offensive operations.", "The forces of the JVuO, for their part, participated with great enthusiasm in these operations, as well as in those organized by the German commander of Serbia against local partisans.The peak of this collaboration occurred in August 1944, which was also a turning point in which the most intense and massive actions took place.", "The efforts of the NOVJ ended in success after long, exhausting battles.", "During the first days of August, a group of NOVJ divisions (2,5) managed to break through from Montenegro Gore and forces Ibar.", "On August 21, the First Proletarian Division penetrated into western Serbia, soon followed by the Sixth Lička, and in early September the Twelfth Corps.", "These forces liberated many towns (Gornji Milanovac on September 12, Valjevo on September 18, Arandjelovac on September 20) and established a base for the upcoming attack on Belgrade.", "In the first half of September, the German defense of Serbia from the west, already compromised by major penetrations of the NOVJ, experienced a breakdown due to the outbreak of the Red Army threat from the east.At that moment, Allies and NOVJ had a decisive advantage.", "Operation Ratweek and the fighting in Macedonia prevented the Germans from trying to effectively reinforce the defenses of Serbia, and the battle for Serbia was definitely decided during October, Belgrade operation - the invasion of the well-equipped forces of the Red Army, to which the NOVJ represented a valuable partner, both by covering the territory and communications in depth, as well and as frontline infantry.The battle for Serbia was thus resolved.", "Further fighting in the southwestern part was not aimed at regaining control over Serbia, but the breakthrough of German Army Group E from Greece.During the Battle of Serbia 1944, the partisans, with the support of the allies, led the fight for liberation from the occupiers and the coming to power, while the Chetnik units, left without the support of the allies, entered into full collaboration at all levels in an attempt to prevent the arrival communist competitors for power." ], [

other.", "Novo vreme' from March 24, 1944.After the collapse of the uprising at the end of 1941, Serbia was largely a pacified territory.", "Except for a couple of short-lived episodes, there were no

"Occup.", "disposition to fight, barely matched the combat value of the German Landeschichen units''\".", "November 4, 1944 The focus of war moved west of the Drina and south of the Lim.When asked by Field Marshal von Weichs where the communists imprisoned in the concentration camp were, the Higher SS and police leader Hermann Behrends replied that they had all been killed.", "He then drew attention to the fact that he had managed to insert sufficiently strong Security Services groups into the Chetnik ranks, which should remain with the Chetniks in the future.", "To that, the Commander-in-Chief remarked that this alone was a sufficient reason why the leadership of the Chetniks should be entrusted exclusively to the Senior SS and Police Leader.", "Notes from the consultation of the German occupation leadership on the Chetnik issue in Serbia, October 8, 1944.=== Strategic importance of Serbia ===Eastern Front on the borders of Serbia, October 1, 1944Of course, Serbia is primarily important to its inhabitants as the homeland and the place where they live.", "Two military-political movements, Titov National Liberation Movement and Mihailović Ravnogorsk Movement, had conflicting concepts and conflicting intentions regarding the character of society and the organization of the state.", "Both movements were determined to dominate Serbia.", "A special reason was that both movements declared themselves as Yugoslav, and Serbia represented a key factor without which Yugoslavia is not possible.Serbia was important to foreign belligerents for several reasons:1.It had certain resources important for waging war - primarily agricultural and mining.2.Serbia is in a particularly important strategic position.", "Considering the development of the war in the Mediterranean basin, the Germans allocated two large operational formations to the Balkans: the Second Panzer Army in Yugoslavia and the Army Group E in Greece.", "Considering all possible operational scenarios, good, broadband communications between them were of key importance, both for supply and for eventual deployment of forces.", "However, due to the configuration of the terrain and underdeveloped infrastructure, there was only one suitable communication channel: the Moravian-Vardar route.", "As a result, the Balkan, although geographically a wide peninsula, represented a communication strait.This dependence on one communication was a problem for the Germans on the one hand, and an attractive motive for action for the Allies on the other.", "From the Allied point of view, given its length, the communication was difficult to defend, and very significant results could be achieved on it with a relatively modest force.Thus, from the point of view of the Allied Mediterranean Command, Serbia was a platform from which to attack German vital communications.3.There was also a political motive.", "Hitler had views on the political future of Europe that are incompatible with the views of the other subjects, but the visions of the Allies differed to a considerable extent.", "Therefore, establishing some future political influence was not an insignificant motive for either side.So in the second half of 1943.profiled the intentions and interests of the main contenders for Serbia:# NOVJ had plans to conquer strategic positions in Serbia, to ensure political and military dominance# JVuO intended to prevent this at all costs# The Allied Mediterranean Command planned to use the NOVJ to create problems for the Germans on vital communications# Germany's Southeast Command intended to firmly hold and defend Serbia and maintain communications security.# The Red Army did not exert influence or intentions towards Serbia until September 1944.Then Serbia became a good operational opportunity for it, in case of successful blocking of German forces by the NOVJ and the western Allies.=== Evolution of the Allies attitude ===In these fateful and great days for Yugoslavia, when the victorious armies of the Soviet Union stand on our border on one side, and the American and British armies on the other, when the day of our freedom is in full dawn, I call on all Serbs, Croats and Slovenes to unite and join the People's Liberation Army under Marshal Tito.", "(...) by our people's army, which is unanimously recognized, supported and helped by our great allies, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States of America.All those, who rely on the enemy against the interests of their own people and its future, and who would not respond to this call, will not succeed in getting rid of the traitor mark, neither in front of the people nor in front of history.", "With this message of mine to you, I strongly condemn the abuse of the name of the king and the authority of the crown, which tried to justify cooperation with the enemy and cause discord among the fighting people in the most difficult hours of its history, thus benefiting only the enemy.", "Invitation of King Peter II to join the People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia Invitation of King Peter II to join the People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia (September 12, 1944)Great Britain is for reasons of ideological closeness and loyalty to the Yugoslav king and government in November 1941.promised full support to Mihailović, albeit on the condition that he reach an agreement with \"other elements of the resistance\".", "However, the actual situation on the ground was quite well known.", "As early as July 1942, Glenconner wrote to the Southern Department of the Foreign Office:»As we know, we would actually have to attribute all activity in Yugoslavia to the partisans.", "However, when it comes to the public use (of that data), I don't see why it would be harmful to credit some of it to Mihailović.«Many authors explain the genesis of the attitudes of the Allies towards the events in Yugoslavia primarily with political motives.", "They ended up playing a significant role.", "However, in this period, from the summer of 1943.until the summer of 1944, there was still a dominant concept that the basic goal was to defeat Germany militarily, that everything possible should be done to inflict as large a state as possible on it, while everything else was of secondary importance.", "The political theory of the genesis of the allied attitude towards Yugoslavia is also based on an incorrect assumption about the negligibly small importance of events in Yugoslavia to the war as a whole.Contrary to this conception, it was the army, not politics, that exerted pressure and took steps in this evolution.Contrary to David Martin's conspiracy theory, the Allied Commander in the Mediterranean depended very little on information gathered through SOE.", "He had several sources of quality and comprehensive information:* Allied experts succeeded in decoding the German codes of the Ultra series, so that General Wilson had a report on German radio traffic on his desk every day.", "Basil Davidson of SOE stated that in early 1943, apparently by decision of some higher command, those reports began to reach SOE:I think that we started receiving intercepts in early January 1943 and that they probably started arriving on my desk already at the beginning of January.", "It was very clear that these were intercepted telegrams of the \"Sicherheitsdienst\" in Yugoslavia, so that they were extremely valuable information...", "They were telegrams with, for example, content like this: \"Partisans who were previously in X or Y are in movement towards Z.", "We are sending Chetniks against them.\"", "Another factor of historical significance is that these notifications played a very large role in the Prime Minister's (Churchill's) decision, which occurred when he arrived in Cairo in February 1943, to initiate changes in our policy.", "* The Axis press, especially in Italy, wrote a lot about operations in Yugoslavia, openly portraying extensive cooperation with the Chetniks.", "* Allied officers in Yugoslavia, especially Bill Hudson, succeeded in the second half of 1942.to describe to some extent the situation on the ground on which they were moving through radio messages.Due to a significantly greater number of sources, the commander of the Mediterranean, General Wilson, who was then in Cairo, had a clearer overall picture of the situation and factors in Yugoslavia than Colonel Bailey, who was in Mihailović headquarters in Lipovo near Kolašina.==== \"Ibarski telegram\" ====After the defeat at Neretva, with Mihailović's forces allied with the Italians while the British Army was fighting the Italians in Africa, from the perspective of the Mediterranean Command, the situation in Yugoslavia looked like this:Partisan forces fight and provide effective resistance to the Axis.", "However, it seems that the partisans lost their foothold in Serbia after the collapse of the uprising.", "There are still some Mihailović's forces there who could perhaps be induced to undertake something useful for the Allied cause.", "Based on this view of the situation, the Commander of the Mediterranean in May 1943, before the SOE mission even reached Tito's Supreme Headquarters, sent Mihailović the famous so-called \"Ibar telegram\", which was sent to the liaison officer, Colonel Bailey, to deliver it to Mihailović, which he did 29 May 1943:Henry Maitland Wilson, Supreme Allied Commander in the Mediterranean.The war in the Mediterranean has reached a stage when an Allied offensive can be considered imminent.", "It is absolutely necessary that General Mihailović now begins to fulfill the obligations he accepted earlier and that he cooperates fully at this moment... Mihailović does not represent a fighting force of any significance west of Kopaonik.", "Its units in Montenegro, Herzegovina and Bosnia have already been destroyed or are closely cooperating with the Axis.", "It is also difficult to say that his units exist in Croatia, Slovenia and Slavonia...", "The Partisans represent a good and efficient fighting force in all regions, where only the Quislings represent General Mihailović.That's why it was decided: you will inform Mihailovic that the British Central Command of the Middle East demands that he, as an ally, stop all cooperation with the Axis and go east, to Serbia.", "There he should establish full authority and personal influence to continue his attacks on enemy communications.You will inform Mihailovic to immediately go to Kopaonik with all his loyal officers and men; if necessary, let it be broken through by force, with the armed forces.The British High Command will in future consider the area under its command and influence to be limited to the west by the combat elements that already exist on the right bank of the Ibar River and southward to Skopje.", "To this territory the British High Command will send a great deal of aid by air.Please explain all this to Mihailović, convey these decisions to him as categorically as possible and try to get his quick and unequivocal consent for their implementation.", "You and the entire British mission will accompany Mihailović to Kopaonik and strive to make his cooperation sincere and successful... We ask London to agree with King Peter and Jovanovic to send instructions to Mihailović, informing him that the closest coordination of action with the allied forces is necessary in view of to future operations in southern Europe.This request, originating from the relevant military command, inspired by wartime operational interests, was withdrawn at the request of the British government.", "There was a period of adjustment, weighing and negotiation.==== December telegram ====Although in the meantime Mihailović led an action against German and NDH forces that \"lasted six weeks\".", "The commander of the Mediterranean assessed that these were secondary and short-term activities, while avoiding to take any action on communications important for the Allies and for the Germans.", "Therefore, 9 December 1943 sent Mihailović a telegram demanding the execution of specified attacks on communication, which begins with the words:'''The freedom with which the Germans use the railways from Greece to Belgrade for the transport and maintenance of troops is intolerable.''", "December 1943 to Draž Mihailović on the request of the Command of British troops in the Middle East that the Chetniks carry out two acts of sabotage against the Germans,This telegram is considered a kind of ultimatum to Mihailović.", "The aforementioned attacks on communications were never carried out, and in mid-December General Wilson instructed all allied officers in Mihailović's forces that they were free to leave the Chetniks and link up with the nearest Partisan forces.", "However, this action to evacuate Allied officers for security reasons took place in stages until the end of May, 1944.Prime Minister Great Britain Winston Churchill made a formal decision to withdraw support for Mihailović 17 February 1944.After that, allied aid was directed at strengthening the forces of the Yugoslav PartisansIn the meantime, the Allied High Command began to focus more and more attention on Serbia.The strategic importance of Serbia was obvious.", "It was located on the Belgrade-Thessaloniki railway line, a communication of vital importance to the enemy.", "Its importance would be increased if the Allies landed somewhere in the Balkans, which at that time was still a possible possibility.Until then, we considered Serbia to be primarily a Chetnik domain.", "The material that we delivered to them there earlier was thrown out to Mihailović.", "But the results, according to the Middle East Command, were disappointing.", "In particular, there was very little or no interruption of traffic on the Belgrade-Thessalonica line...In the Lower House Mr. Churchill explained the government's action.", "\"The reason - he said - why we stopped supplying Mihailovic with weapons and did not give him support was simple.", "He did not fight against the enemy and, moreover, some of his subordinates made agreements with the enemy.", "\"This is how a relationship that was based on a misunderstanding from the beginning ended.", "With the help of our propaganda, we made Mihailović something in our imagination that he never seriously presented.", "Now we have rejected it, because it did not meet our own expectations.Since it was decided to reject the Chetniks, the task of our policy was to help strengthen the partisans in Serbia as soon as possible... Now the Serbian partisans had a high degree of priority for obtaining materials...After a series of complex battles, the envisioned major combined ground and air force operation against vital communications was carried out in the first week of September 1944.in cooperation with the NOVJ and the Allied Air Force.", "It is known by its code name \"Operation Ratweek\" Ratweek, and was of great importance to the further development of the war in Europe.==== Support for partisans ====The change in our attitude also had a significant psychological effect.", "All the prestige that the Chetniks had enjoyed until then due to allied assistance was transferred to the Partisans.", "The effect was increased by the news that Tito had reached an agreement with King Peter, and by the king's proclamation calling on his subjects to support the partisans, which dispelled General Mihailović's claim that he was fighting for the monarchy.As it often happens, all these events, one after the other, acted like an avalanche.", "Allied support and material aid attracted an even greater number of volunteers; better equipped and more numerous, the partisans were able to increase the scope of their activities; their successes on the battlefield, on the other hand, brought larger stocks of seized weapons and increased their prestige all the more; thus, in a few months, the movement strengthened considerably.Finally, the civilian population also understood that the more active politics of the partisans was not frivolous, as it once seemed to them.", "Then it suddenly became clear to them that this very policy secured Tito's allied support, which Mihailović, no matter how well-intentioned, eventually lost due to his caution and inactivity.Fitzroy MacLeanEvery day, more and more former supporters left the Chetniks, and more and more volunteers joined the ranks of the Partisans.", "In the following days, long lines of men and boys made their way to Partisan headquarters to take rifles and ammunition; partly deserters, partly prisoners, partly conscripts, partly volunteers, some in their old uniforms and with traditional Chetnik beards, others in ordinary work clothes.Dragoljub Mihailović, Chetnik leader.\"Serbia:...", "due to constant incidents caused by the Chetniks, it was ordered to stop aid to those D.M.-Chetniks participating in the fight against the

the concentration of insignificant reserves, and recklessly leaving wider parts of the country exposed, the penetration of Tito's forces across the Ibar Valley towards the southeast of Serbia could not be prevented in fierce battles.Army Group \"F\" threw the 1st Brigade into battle against Tito's forces, prepared in Montenegro.", "Eluding his pressure, other Tito units crossed the southwestern

group of German soldiers and Chetniks of Draža Mihailović during the breakthrough into Serbia of the 2nd Proletarian and 5th Krajina Divisions of the NOVJAt the behest of D.M., Raković specified again:1.Certain (written) guarantees that there are not even the slightest intentions to plan a general uprising or to carry out sabotage actions.2.Readiness to fight against communists outside of Serbia, along with ammunition deliveries.Raković further announced that the main headquarters of the DM were afraid of the advance of the Russians on the Eastern front.The command of Army Group F considered this threat serious and made a plan of its own countermeasures.", "It took measures to take the initiative, curtail and prevent the NOVJ operation.", "For the tactical command of operations in Serbia, she assigned the Military-administrative commander of the Southeast, General Felber.", "At the same time, Command Ag F took care of the coordination of General Felber's actions with 2.armored army, i.e.", "with 5.SS Corps in eastern Bosnia and 21.corps in Sandžak.Military Commander of the Southeast General Felber, although he did not have front-line forces, formed a combined combined detachment from rear German, Bulgarian and RZK and SDK forces.", "The main mass of his forces consisted of the JVuO forces, which took a large part in this operation on their own initiative.", "With these combined forces he managed to prevent the NOVJ forces from forcing the Ibar, and managed to keep them under constant pressure, constantly attacking, disrupting, harassing and weakening them.For its part, 5.SS Corps effectively prevented attempts to force the Drina by 17.division NOVJ, and 21.Corps in the starting area managed to threaten some important areas for the NOVJ, both with significant involvement of Chetniks.Thus, after 66 days of grueling fighting, the NOVJ division were forced to retreat to their initial positions, failing to establish the planned connections and stronghold zones, thus the NOVJ operation ended in failure.“Serbia: the remnants of the 2nd and 5th divisions united on Zlatar Mountain (south of Nova Varoša).", "Thus, after two months, the attempt of the Morača Group, which lost three quarters of its strength, to carry out Tito's order to create a communist base in southeastern Serbia ended.", "Against small German and in some places considerable Chetnik and volunteer losses, the enemy lost 2,736 dead, 108 captured and 64 defected ....\" === Penetration of partisans into western Serbia ===In addition to the agreement

weapons and ammunition to the Chetniks (August 16, 1944)On September 9, 1944, the Partisan First Proletarian Corps defeated the main Chetniks in the Battle on Jelova Gora.", "from that moment Draža Mihailović and his units ceased to be a political and military factor in Serbia.The first corps had a lot of trouble to liberate Valjevo.", "The Germans, who retreated, and for whom this was a key position, decided to keep it at all costs and the garrison fortified itself to the last man in the last stronghold around the barracks turned into a fortress by a very well planned and executed fortification system.", "In the battle that ensued, the partisans suffered heavy losses and only defeated the enemy when two allied \"Bowfighters\" with rockets, called from Italy, delivered the final blow to the besieged garrison, crashing down and firing rockets from close range at the barracks building.The rapid fall of Valjevo surprised many residents who cooperated with the occupier and did not have time to organize their escape.", "This included: supporters of Nedić and Ljotić, as well as some Chetniks.", "On the facade of one house there were still slogans: \"Long live Ljotić!", "Death to the Bolshevik scum!", "\", which the owner, despite frantic efforts in the last hour, was unable to erase.In the liberated Valjevo, the concentration of people was carried out and then they headed towards Arandjelovac, 60 km south of Belgrade.In September 1944, the Kolubar Corps of the JVUO and the Germans together defended Ub from the units of the People's Liberation Army.=== Allied bombing ===The operation was carried out with great military success, which prevented the German command from maneuvering its forces from Greece on neighboring European battlefields.", "The Germans were prevented from marching maneuvers - their forces on the move were separated into many groups, tied to positions and forced to break through for a long time under combat.", "This isolation of large German forces enabled the rapid liberation of Serbia, the successful execution of the Belgrade operations and the forced advance of the Red Army into southern Hungary, which was of great importance for ending the war in Europe.Due to the massive use of heavy bombers, the operation caused significant civilian casualties.Allied air forces repeatedly bombed German strongholds in Belgrade.", "The infrastructure in Belgrade was successively bombed in April, May, June, July and the last time in September 1944.The heaviest civilian casualties were recorded during the April bombing, which
