This comment is offered on three papers on occupied landscapes of the eastern front. They were dealing with the occupational policy of the German and Austro-Hungarian empires in formerly Russian Poland (Stephan Lehnstaedt), the role of oil on the one hand as a resource in the mobilisation of the belligerents and on the other hand as an element of defence, a way to make war and and method of warfare (Yaroslav Golubinov) and on the militarisation of the environment as a consequence of the war, the transformation of the landscape into a zone of combat and on the role of the environment as an instrument of war in this context (Oksana Nagornaia).
The commentary links up these three papers on the one hand to an environmental history approach trying to look for links between the presentations and environmental history more in general. On the other hand it tries to locate the presentations into the historiographical setting of a history of the interdependence between humans and nature in the last approximately 100 years.
