Viele Angehörige der älteren Generation erinnern sich noch daran, wie die Nazis ihre Kindheit mißbrauchten, ohna daß sie dies damals erfassen konnten. Wie aber erlitten die Söhne und Töchter jüdischer Eltern diese Zeit? Inge Deutschkron, in Berlin aufgewachsen, mußte erfahren, was es heißt, ein jüdisches Kind zu sein. Zunächst bedeutete dies nur, nicht mit Gleichaltrigen spielen zu können, vom Schwimmen- und Sportunterricht ausgeschlossen zu sein, mehrmals die Schule zu wechseln und in andere Stadtviertel umzuziehen zu müssen.

L'intensa testimonianza di Sami Modiano, il ricordo e la celebrazione di un'amicizia che è stata un'ancora nella solitudine, un baluardo contro la disumanità e la disperazione.

In questa nuova biografia politica, Hans-Ulrich Thamer riassume in modo pregnante lo stato della ricerca concentrandosi in particolare sul rapporto tra messinscena e potere, e tra consenso e violenza. L’autore – tra i maggiori esperti del nazionalsocialismo – mostra in modo chiaro e comprensibile come Hitler abbia reagito abilmente alle aspettative della società tedesca facendo diventare il culto del Führer la base stessa della sua politica.

The scale of the Second World War was enormous: so many countries, so many battles, the challenges of training and deploying huge numbers of soldiers, sailors, and airmen. Every participant in that war had fascinating and often unique experiences and stories to tell. It’s no wonder the major locations in that war were referred to as “theaters.”

The Parachute Regiment is Britain's elite airborne infantry. On the 80th anniversary of their first crucial campaign, in Operation Torch in North Africa, historian and broadcaster Mark Urban combines perspectives from German and British sources to tell the gripping stories of the men who had the resilience, fitness and self-reliance to be "Red Devils"—the name they were given by their German enemies.

Using hitherto untold stories and new archival sources, Damien Lewis follows one close-knit band of warriors from the SAS foundation through to the Italian landings—chronicling the extraordinary part they played as the tide of the Second World War truly turned in the Allied's favour.

John Masters was a soldier before he became a best-selling novelist. He went to Sandhurst in 1933 at the age of 18 and was commissioned into the Fourth Gurkha Rifles in time to take part in some of the last campaigns on the turbulent North-West Frontier of India. John Masters joined a Gurhka regiment on receiving his commission, and his depiction of garrison life and campaigning on the North-West Frontier has never been surpassed. Bugles and a Tiger is a matchless evocation of the British Army in India on the eve of the Second World War.

They were known as “Rudder’s Rangers,” the most elite and experienced attack unit the Army had. In December 1944, they would be the spearhead into Germany, taking the war into Hitler’s homeland at last. Their colonel was given this objective: Take Hill 400. After two days, when they were finally relieved, only 16 Rangers remained to stagger down from the top of Hill 400. The Last Hill is filled with unforgettable action and characters—a gripping, finely detailed saga of what the survivors of the battalion would call “our longest day.”

The Story of Wake Island takes the listener to the heart of the action from the point of view of the commanding officer. It is a brilliant account of this tragic event that demonstrated the fighting spirit of the American soldier even in the face of unbeatable odds.

Thrown into an open field to face German tanks and artillery fire, with only rifles and machine guns to defend themselves with, almost 2,000 men of his regiment were wiped out in only six days at the Eastern Front. At this rate, Ivan struggled to comprehend how he would survive the hundreds of battles that lay before him, with death seeming to be the only certainty.
