- 'England is pro-Hitler': German popular opinion during the Czechoslovakian crisis, 1938(Manchester University Press, 2021-01-08)
;Urbach, Karina ;Gottlieb, Julie V. ;Hucker, DanielToye, RichardHistory is about perspective as well as information. To understand Germany’s actions during the Czechoslovakian crisis, we have a great deal of information and perspective from the top but much less from the bottom. The reason for this unevenness is obvious. In a dictatorship, people censor themselves continuously – in every letter they write and in every conversation they have. As a consequence, we are left with anecdotal evidence. However, with the help of new sources this article shows that it is possible to combine political and social history to understand this crisis in its multiple dimensions.282 463 - Useful idiots: the Hohenzollerns and Hitler(Oxford University Press, 2020-08-01)

While the national level has been researched in some detail, we do not have much information about the international aspect.This article shows what foreign connections the Hohenzollerns had and why they made them available to Hitler. Private correspondence in the papers of three Americans offers new insights.Resumption of the throne was a driving force for the Hohenzollerns who hoped to copy Mussolini’s arrangement with the Italian monarchy. But the family were not just opportunists. They shared many beliefs with the National Socialists: anti-Semitism, anti- parliamentarism and anti-communism.They also greatly admired Hitler’s wars of conquest. For the National Socialists, the Hohenzollerns’ eagerness to support them was welcome propaganda.438 471 - The Zaydi Manuscript Tradition (ZMT) Project: Digitizing the Collections of Yemeni Manuscripts in Italian Libraries(Comparative Oriental Manuscript Studies (COMSt), Hamburg, 2019)
;Schmidtke, SabineSagaria Rossi, ValentinaThe literary tradition of the Zaydi community, a branch of Shiʿi Islam that originated in Kufa and later developed in Northern Iran and Yemen, is among the richest and most variegated strands within Islamic civilization and at the same time one of the least studied due to issues of preservation and access. The ZMT project is an attempt to create a digital library of the literary tradition of Zaydism.388 104
