"A most valuable book." —Christian Science Monitor For readers of The Monuments Men and The Hare with Amber Eyes, the story of the Nazis' systematic pillaging of Europe's libraries, and the small team of heroic librarians now working to return the stolen books to their rightful owners. While...

Nach der Landung der Alliierten am 6. Juni 1944 in der Normandie musste die französische Kollaborationsregierung unter Marschall Pétain außer Landes gebracht werden; mit dem greisen Marschall kamen Minister, Staatssekretäre und ein ganzer Hofstaat in die französische Enklave an der Donau. Im Schatten des großen Krieges überwinterte vom 8. September an die politisch einflusslose Vichy-Regierung in dem abseits gelegenen Hohenzollernschloss von Sigmaringen auf der Schwäbischen Alb; von der neuen Hauptstadt im oberen Donautal sollte die Rückeroberung Frankreichs betrieben werden.

Ob Martin Luthers Thesen am 31. Oktober 1517 tatsächlich an die Wittenberger Schlosskirche genagelt wurden, ist umstritten. Sicher ist allerdings, dass die Thesen durch Briefe und Nachdrucke in Windeseile verbreitet wurden. Was bis dahin in einem akademischen Disput nur allmählich bekannt geworden wäre, machten Buchdruck und Korrespondenz unter Humanisten zu einem öffentlichen Ereignis. In seinen Thesen wendet sich Luther gezielt gegen den Ablass.

In May 1940, Nazi Germany was master of continental Europe. The only European power still standing was Great Britain - and the all-conquering German armed forces stood poised to cross the Channel. Following the destruction of the RAF fighter forces, the sweeping of the Channel of mines, and the wearing down of the Royal Naval defenders, two German army groups were set to storm the beaches of southern England.

Rundfunk, der Geschichte machte. Dass der Kampf gegen Hitler-Deutschland nicht nur mutig war, sondern oft auch große Unterhaltung, ist hier erstmals in Reden, Liedern, Hörspielen und Kabarettsendungen zu hören, mit denen viele Schriftsteller und Künstler Widerstand leisteten. Die Grußsendungen mit deutschen Kriegsgefangenen waren so beliebt, dass sie tagsüber ausgestrahlt wurden und die Hörer hohe Zuchthausstrafen oder sogar ihr Leben riskierten.

Combining impeccable scholarship and literary elegance, David Wetzel depicts the drama of machinations and passions that exploded in a war that forever changed the face of European history.

In the predawn darkness of June 22, 1941, three million men waited along a front stretching from the Baltic coast of Poland to the Balkans. Ahead of them lay the Soviet Union, its border guarded by millions of Red Army troops. This massive gathering of Wehrmacht soldiers from Adolf Hitler's Third Reich and his allied states stood poised to carry out Operation Barbarossa, Hitler's surprise attack against the country of his putative ally, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.

A thrilling Cold War narrative of superpower showdowns, media suppression, and two escape tunnels beneath the Berlin Wall. In the summer of 1962, the year after the rise of the Berlin Wall, a group of young West Germans risked prison, Stasi torture, and even death to liberate friends, lovers...

In 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. A year later, all parties but the Nazis had been outlawed, freedom of the press was but a memory, and Hitler's dominance seemed complete. Yet over the next few years, an unlikely clutch of conspirators emerged - soldiers, schoolteachers, politicians, diplomats, theologians, even a carpenter - who would try repeatedly to end the Fuhrer's genocidal reign. This dramatic and deeply researched book tells the full story of those noble, ingenious, and doomed efforts.

This new edition of a best-selling history of Germany, originally published in 1976, includes the great watershed of 1989-90 and its aftermath. Germany: A Short History provides a thorough introduction to German history from antiquity to the present.

La dolorosa y humillante final de Alemania tras la I Guerra Mundial, la hiperinflación económica y el odio hacia la nueva república instaurada, fueron la razón perfecta para que un hombre desconocido hasta entonces, Adolf Hitler, logrará posicionar su agresiva retórica incendiaria, militarista y antisemita, como el emblema del tristemente célebre Partido Nacional Socialista.

Tras la toma de Berlín y el suicidio de Hitler en 1945, la espantosa II Guerra Mundial había llegado a su fin. Estados Unidos, Rusia, Inglaterra y Francia, vencedores del conflicto, fueron a la mesa de negociación para decidir el futuro y desarrollo de una Alemania nueva. Sin embargo, el proceso posterior tuvo implicancias dramáticas y no se resolvería hasta 1991, con la Caída del nefasto Muro de Berlín.

After the failure of the Weimar Republic, the Nazis believed their mission was to "masculinize" life in Germany. Hermann Goering told women, "Take a pot, a dustpan and a broom, and marry a man", but many still became active participants in murder and mayhem. From the Reich Bride Schools through the Bund Deutscher Mädel and the bizarre Lebensborn Aryan breeding programme to the brothels of the Sicherheitsdienst, this book covers the lives of women in the Third Reich, concentrating on those who sought personal power and influence amid the chaos.

It's 1942 and the Nazis are racing to be the first to build a weapon unlike any known before. They have the physicists, they have the uranium, and now all their plans depend on amassing a single ingredient: heavy water, which is produced in Norway's Vemork, the lone plant in all the world that makes this rare substance. Under threat of death, Vemork's engineers push production into overdrive. For the Allies, the plant must be destroyed.

When the ashes had settled after World War II and the Allies convened an international war crimes trial in Nuremberg, a psychiatrist, Douglas Kelley, and a psychologist, Gustave Gilbert, tried to fathom the psychology of the Nazi leaders using extensive psychiatric interviews, IQ tests, and Rorschach inkblot tests. Never before or since has there been such a detailed study of governmental leaders who orchestrated mass killings.

In February 1945, 350 American POWs captured earlier at the Battle of the Bulge or elsewhere in Europe were singled out by the Nazis because they were Jews or were thought to resemble Jews. They were transported in cattle cars to Berga, a concentration camp in eastern Germany, and put to work as...

The author lived almost 27 years in Germany working as an Army Counterintelligence Special Agent. He interviewed hundreds of refugees from East Germany and East Prussia. He also interviewed many Germans who survived as Russian prisoners of war. This book is based the memories of those who lived through World War Two and the American Occupation of Germany.

Munich, Germany, 1942. Hans Scholl never intended to get his younger sister involved in an underground resistance. When Sophie Scholl finds out, she insists on joining Hans and his close friends in writing and distributing anti-Nazi leaflets entitled The White Rose.

It is sometimes difficult to remember that in war there are innocents on all sides who suffer. German citizens who had no connection to the atrocities committed by their countrymen nonetheless endured great hardships because of them.
