In concrete terms, this mainly concerned military operations and their course. And of course the very specific anti-Jewish measures, as part of the war conditions in general, that made going into hiding necessary. These measures are discussed in the topic Anti-Jewish measures. Here we are concerned with the perception of the more general wartime developments in the Netherlands and abroad. Since the Allied victory was obviously vital for the people in hiding, they followed the progress closely. Their information came from the radio, was related by the helpers or came from the mainstream or underground newspapers and magazines they brought with them.
\r\n\r\nAnne occasionally wrote in her diary, which she started in June 1942, about the invasion of the Netherlands in May 1940. She did not include any concrete memories of those battles, despite the fact that there had been a lot of air activity over Amsterdam-Zuid because of its proximity to Schiphol Airport. Three days before her thirteenth birthday, on 9 June 1942, a transmitting device from an English plane came down on the roof of Merwedeplein 8,[1] but Anne did not talk about this. A few days after her birthday, she remembered that she couldn't celebrate her birthday in 1940 because of the invasion that had just taken place.[2] In July 1942, Anne wrote retrospectively about the war in Europe, the invasion of the Netherlands and the increasingly far-reaching measures against the Jews.[3]
\r\n\r\nThe diary does contain several references to resistance activities and German reactions to them. For example, in October 1942, newspapers carried the news that 15 hostages had been shot, which Anne recorded in her diary.[4] She also mentions arson at the Labour Exchange and the Register of Population. She places these events, when she writes the note in 1944, "a few days" apart.[5] In reality, the incidents took place on 10 February[6] and 27 March 1943.[7] The discrepancies between the A and B versions of Anne's diary play a confusing role in this respect.
\r\n\r\nDue to the frequent air activity, the air raid alarm often went off in Amsterdam. This frightened Anne, especially when anti-aircraft guns were in action. 'Shooting' is a theme that often recurs.[8] Anne mentions in her diary the heavy attacks on the Fokker factories in Noord and on the port of IJmuiden.[9] Her notes on Fokker, in which she mentions the many alerts from the Air Protection Service, correspond well with the 'air hazard' reports recorded by the police.[10] This seems to indicate that she based this note in the B-version, in which 1943 is only discussed retrospectively, on her earlier notes - which have been lost.
\r\n\r\nIn addition to a plane crashing into the Carlton Hotel in late April 1943,[11] two more planes crashed close to the Secret Annex. On 22 March 1944, an American bomber crashed into a school on Spaarndammerstraat.[12] In an air battle on 3 May, several Allied aircraft exploded in the sky over Amsterdam, and others crashed in and around the city.[13] One plane came down in Van Bossestraat.[11] All three of these locations were less than a kilometre and a half away. Anne also notes these incidents.[14]
\r\n\r\nIn early 1944, fears grew that the Netherlands could become a warzone. German authorities warned of the far-reaching consequences of this, such as the inundation of parts of the country. The Haagsche Post published a map showing what consequences inundation of the western Netherlands would have.[15] Seyss-Inquart refuted the rumours about evacuation of the cities in the west, and had proclamations posted urging the population to continue their daily lives.[16] In the Secret Annex, these proclamations and notices led to fear. Anne refers to the inundation map, and describes making plans to stockpile water in basket bottles. The possible consequences of an evacuation were discussed with Jan Gies, among others.[17]
\r\n\r\nIn June 1944, it came to Anne's attention that Anton Mussert announced he would serve in the German army in the event of an Allied invasion of the Netherlands. That announcement, made at a meeting in the Concertgebouw, made its way into the daily newspapers on Anne's birthday.[18] Some two weeks later, she put it in her diary.[19]
\r\n\r\nIn late 1942, Anne wrote that Stalingrad had still not been captured by the Germans.[20] She kept pretty good track of subsequent developments on the Eastern Front. She notes when Soviet troops are at the Gouvernement-Generale, near Romania, in front of Odessa and around Ternopil.[21] Further notes follow in June and July 1944, including on the fall of Zhlobin and Orsja.[22] Her notes match the information available through legal and illegal channels at the time.[23]
\r\n\r\nThe British offensive in North Africa in autumn 1942 fuelled hopes that Germany would soon be defeated. Anne, however, showed a fear of "new blunders".[24] By the latter, she was most likely referring to Operation Jubilee, the so-called 'trial landing' at Dieppe that was widely seen as a fiasco.[25] Anne continued to report in her diary on the course of the battle in North Africa.[26] By the end of 1942, 'the gentlemen' were upbeat about the course of the battle.[27]
\r\n\r\nAfter the Allies landed in Italy, their progress was discussed. Or the lack of it, when the offensive at Monte Cassino stalled.[28] However, days before D-Day, she noted the Fifth Army's capture of Rome.[29]
\r\n\r\nIn March '43, Turkey's position in the international arena shifted. Confusing reports of this emerge in the Secret Annex and in Anne's diary.[30]
\r\n\r\nLike countless others in the Netherlands and worldwide, the people in the Secret Annex were eagerly awaiting the opening of the 'third front' in Western Europe. In early 1944, everyone seemed to think that it was almost there. Churchill predicted that within weeks the world was about to witness the biggest military operation in history.[31] This increased the 'invasion mood' in the Secret Annex.[32] In the following months, this kept the people in hiding busy. In early May, Anne wrote that the Allies could not just leave everything to the Soviets after all.[33] She lost a bet with Mrs Van Pels about it.[34] When the invasion did start on 6 June 1944, the people in hiding still thought at breakfast that it was another 'trial landing'.[35] Anne described the course of the battle after D-Day, also mentioning the capture of five German generals and the deployment of the German 'miracle weapons'.[36] They kept track of Allied progress on a map cut from De Telegraaf .[37] Optimism among them was high again. Otto Frank and Hermann van Pels claimed they would be free by 10 October at the latest.[38] Following the failed assassination attempt on Hitler, Anne last noted anything to do with the war developments on 21 July 1944.[39]
\r\n\r\nThe outcome is well known: on 4 August 1944, the Sicherheitsdienst arrested the people in the Secret Annex, as well as the helpers Kugler and Kleiman. All cherished hopes of timely liberation were thus dashed.
\r\n\r\nEr wordt in het Achterhuis zeer veel over ‘de politiek’ gesproken. De facto gaat het dan vooral om militaire operaties en hun verloop. Verder zijn het uiteraard de zeer specifieke anti-Joodse maatregelen, als onderdeel van de oorlogsomstandigheden in het algemeen, die het onderduiken noodzakelijk maken. Deze maatregelen komen in het onderwerp Anti-Joodse maatregelen aan bod. Hier gaat het om de beleving van de algemenere oorlogsontwikkelingen in Nederland en daarbuiten. Omdat de geallieerde overwinning voor de onderduikers natuurlijk van levensbelang is, volgen ze de voortgang op de voet. Hun informatie komt van de radio, wordt verteld door de helpers of is afkomstig uit de (boven- of ondergrondse) bladen die deze meebrengen.
\r\n\r\nAnne schrijft in haar in juni 1942 begonnen dagboek af en toe over de oorlogsdagen van mei ‘40 in Nederland. Concrete herinneringen aan de strijd in de meidagen zijn daar niet bij, terwijl boven Amsterdam-Zuid vanwege de nabijheid van Schiphol veel luchtactiviteit is geweest. Drie dagen voor haar dertiende verjaardag, op 9 juni 1942, kwam een zendapparaat uit een Engels vliegtuig neer op het dak van Merwedeplein 8,[1] maar Anne heeft het hier niet over. Een paar dagen na haar verjaardag bedenkt ze dat haar verjaardag er in 1940 bij inschoot vanwege de oorlog die toen net was uitgevochten.[2] In juli ’42 schrijft Anne in retrospectieve zin over de oorlog in Europa, de inval in Nederland en de steeds verdergaande maatregelen tegen de Joden.[3]
\r\n\r\nEr staan in het dagboek wel meerdere verwijzingen naar verzetsactiviteiten en de Duitse reacties daarop. Zo brachten de kranten in oktober ’42 het nieuws dat er vijftien gijzelaars waren doodgeschoten, wat Anne in haar dagboek opnam.[4] Ze maakt ook melding van brandstichtingen bij de Arbeidsbeurs en het Bevolkingsregister. Deze gebeurtenissen plaatst ze, als ze in 1944 de notitie schrijft, 'een paar dagen' na elkaar.[5] In werkelijkheid vonden de incidenten plaats op respectievelijk 10 februari[6] en 27 maart 1943.[7] Hier spelen de discrepanties tussen A- en B- versies van Annes dagboek een verwarrende rol.
\r\n\r\nDoor de vele luchtactiviteit ging in Amsterdam vaak het luchtalarm af. Dit joeg Anne angst aan, vooral als daarbij de luchtafweer in actie kwam. Het ‘schieten’ is een thema dat vaak terugkomt.[8] De zware aanvallen op de Fokkerfabrieken in Noord en op de haven van IJmuiden vinden een plaats in Annes dagboek.[9] Haar notities over Fokker, waarin ze de vele alarmeringen van de Luchtbescherming noemt, stemmen goed overeen met de ‘luchtgevaar’-meldingen die de politie optekende.[10] Dat lijkt er op te wijzen dat ze deze notitie in de B-versie, waarin 1943 alleen in retrospectief aan bod komt, baseerde op haar eerdere aantekeningen - die verloren zijn gegaan.
\r\n\r\nNaast een vliegtuig dat eind april ‘43 op het Carlton Hotel neerkwam,[11] stortten er nog twee keer vliegtuigen dichtbij het Achterhuis neer. Op 22 maart 1944 kwam een Amerikaanse bommenwerper terecht op een school in de Spaarndammerstraat.[12] Bij een luchtgevecht op 3 mei ontploften boven Amsterdam enkele geallieerde toestellen in de lucht; andere stortten in en om de stad neer.[13] Een toestel kwam neer in de Van Bossestraat.[11] Deze locaties waren alle drie op minder dan anderhalve kilometer afstand. Anne noteert ook deze incidenten.[14]
\r\n\r\nBegin ’44 nam de vrees toe dat Nederland strijdtoneel kan worden. Duitse autoriteiten waarschuwden voor de verstrekkende gevolgen, zoals het inunderen van delen van het land. De Haagsche Post publiceerde een landkaartje waarop is aangegeven welke gevolgen inundatie van West-Nederland zou hebben.[15] Seyss-Inquart weersprak de geruchten over evacuatie van de steden in het westen, en liet proclamaties aanplakken die de bevolking aanmaandn het dagelijks leven voort te zetten.[16] In het Achterhuis leidden die proclamaties en berichten tot angst. Anne refereert aan het inundatiekaartje, en beschrijft het maken van plannen om een watervoorraad in mandflessen aan te leggen. De mogelijke gevolgen van een evacuatie werden met onder andere Jan Gies besproken.[17]
\r\n\r\nIn juni ’44 kwam het Anne ter ore dat Anton Mussert aankondigde bij een geallieerde inval in Nederland dienst in het Duitse leger te zullen nemen. Die aankondiging, gedaan op een bijeenkomst in het Concertgebouw, kwam op Annes verjaardag in de dagbladen terecht.[18] Zo’n twee weken later zet ze het in haar dagboek.[19]
\r\n\r\nEind ’42 schrijft Anne dat Stalingrad nog altijd niet door de Duitsers veroverd was.[20] De latere ontwikkelingen aan het Oostfront hield ze vrij goed bij. Ze noteert wanneer de Sovjettroepen bij het Gouvernement-Generaal, vlakbij Roemenië, voor Odessa en rondom Ternopil staan.[21] In juni en juli ’44 volgen er nog notities over onder meer over de val van Zhlobin en Orsja.[22] Haar notities stemmen overeen met de destijds via legale en illegale kanalen beschikbare informatie.[23]
\r\n\r\nHet Engelse offensief in Noord-Afrika voedde in de herfst van 1942 de hoop dat Duitsland snel zou zijn verslagen. Anne toont zich echter wel bevreesd voor ‘nieuwe blunders’.[24] Met dit laatste doelde ze zeer waarschijnlijk op Operation Jubilee, de zogenaamde ‘proeflanding’ bij Dieppe die algemeen als een fiasco wordt gezien.[25] Anne blijft in haar dagboek verslag doen van het verloop van de strijd in Noord-Afrika.[26] Tegen het einde van 1942 waren ‘de heren’ vrolijk over het verloop van de strijd.[27]
\r\n\r\nNadat de geallieerden de sprong naar Italië maakten, komen hun vorderingen aan de orde. Of het gebrek er aan, toen het offensief bij Monte Cassino vastliep.[28] Daags voor D-Day kan ze echter de verovering van Rome door het Vijfde Leger noteren.[29]
\r\n\r\nIn maart ’43 verschoof de positie van Turkije in het internationale krachtenveld. De verwarrende berichten hierover komen in het Achterhuis en in Annes dagboek terecht.[30]
\r\n\r\nNet als talloze anderen in Nederland en wereldwijd wachtten de onderduikers met smart op de opening van het ‘derde front’ in West-Europa. Begin ’44 leejt iedereen te denken dat het bijna zo ver was. Churchill voorspelde dat de wereld binnen enkele weken de grootste militaire operatie uit de geschiedenis ging meemaken.[31] De ‘invasie-stemming’ in het Achterhuis nam hierdoor toe.[32] In de volgende maanden hield dit de onderduikers bezig. Begin mei schrijft Anne dat de geallieerden toch niet alles maar aan de Sovjettroepen over kunnen laten.[33] Ze verliest er een weddenschap over met mevrouw Van Pels.[34] Als op 6 juni 1944 de invasie toch komt, denken de onderduikers aan het ontbijt nog dat het opnieuw een ‘proeflanding’ is.[35] Anne beschrijft het verloop van de strijd na D-Day, en vermeldt daarbij ook het gevangennemen van vijf Duitse generaals en de inzet van de Duitse ‘wonderwapens’.[36] De onderduikers hielden de geallieerde vorderingen op een uit De Telegraaf geknipt kaartje bij.[37] Het optimisme onder hen was opnieuw groot. Otto Frank en Hermann van Pels beweerdn dat ze uiterlijk 10 oktober vrij zouden zijn.[38] Naar aanleiding van de mislukte aanslag op Hitler noteert Anne op 21 juli 1944 voor het laatst iets dat met de oorlogsontwikkelingen heeft te maken.[39]
\r\n\r\nDe afloop is bekend: op 4 augustus 1944 arresteerde de Sicherheitsdienst de onderduikers in het Achterhuis, en ook de helpers Kugler en Kleiman. Alle gekoesterde hoop op tijdige bevrijding werd hiermee gelogenstraft.
