Elisabeth Noltenius (1888-1964) was a German painter. [1]
Noltenius was born on 24 January 1888 in Bremen, Germany. She first studied etching with Hans am Ende and sculpture with Clara Westhoff. In 1911 she went to Munich to attend the Damenakademie (Ladies’ Academy). After the deaths of her brothers, sister, father, and fiancé during the years of the First World War Noltenius settled back in Bremen to support herself and her mother. For a time she had a studio in nearby Meyenburg. [2] She painted landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. [3]
In the interwar years Noltenius traveled to France (Paris specifically), Hungary, Italy, Norway, and Spain. [2] [3]
Noltenius remained in Germany during World War II. She attempted to protect her friend and fellow artist Dora Bromberger from persecution by the Nazis. She organized exhibitions in an attempt to save Bromberger from deportation, but despite her efforts Bromberger was deported and murdered in a concentration camp in 1942. [4] Noltenius' Bremen studio and the most of the artwork in it were destroyed by a bomb in 1944. She built a new studio in Meyenburg in 1949. [2] [3]
Noltenius died on 22 February 1964 in Bremen. Her work is in the Focke Museum and the Kunsthalle Bremen. [2]

She was a member of the Berlin based anti-fascist resistance group that was later called the Red Orchestra by the Abwehr, during the Third Reich.

LeutnantFriedrich Theodor Noltenius was a German flying ace during the First World War, with a total of 21 official victories. From July 1914 to July 1917, he served with distinction as an artilleryman. He transferred to the Luftstreitkräfte and became a fighter pilot. After his aerial combat career began with a horrifying incident, Noltenius began shooting down enemy observation balloons and airplanes on 10 August 1918. His battle claims were sometimes unsuccessfully disputed with other pilots, including his commanding officers. Despite the resulting transfers between units, Noltenius continued his success, being credited with his 21st victory on 4 November 1918. Only the war's end a week later barred him from receiving Germany's highest award for valor, the Pour le Mérite.

Some authors have carried out comparisons of Nazism and Stalinism. They have considered the similarities and differences between the two ideologies and political systems, the relationship between the two regimes, and why both came to prominence simultaneously. During the 20th century, the comparison of Nazism and Stalinism was made on totalitarianism, ideology, and personality cult. Both regimes were seen in contrast to the liberal-democratic Western world, emphasizing the similarities between the two.
