В 1933 г. Адольф Гитлер стал рейхсканцлером Германии. Спустя год все партии, кроме нацистской, были запрещены, свобода прессы осталась лишь воспоминанием, а власть Гитлера, как казалось, стала абсолютной. Однако уже в скором времени возникло немецкое Сопротивление. Группы заговорщиков, в которые входили военные, школьные учителя, политики, дипломаты, богословы и даже плотник, снова и снова пытались положить конец кровавому правлению фюрера.

10 maggio 1933. A Bebelplatz, nel centro di Berlino, allo scoccare della mezzanotte migliaia di libri vengono dati alle fiamme. Joseph Goebbels proclama: «L'uomo tedesco del futuro non sarà più un uomo fatto di libri, ma un uomo di carattere». Su tutta l'Europa si sparge un odore di benzina e di cenere. 24 febbraio 2022. La Russia invade l'Ucraina, e di lì a qualche mese un nuovo conflitto devasterà la striscia di Gaza.

On 17 October 2019, in Hamburg's imposing criminal justice building, a trial laden with extraordinary historical weight begins to unfold. Bruno Dey stands accused of being involved in a crime committed over seven decades ago: the murder of at least 5,230 inmates at Stutthof, the Nazi concentration camp in present-day Poland. Only seventeen at the time, Dey was a member of the SS unit responsible for administering the camp. Though he concedes to his role as a guard, he adamantly denies responsibility for the killings.

In the aftermath of Germany's defeat in World War I and the failed November Revolution of 1918-19, the conservative government of Bavaria identified Jews with left-wing radicalism. Munich became a hotbed of right-wing extremism, with synagogues under attack and Jews physically assaulted in the streets. It was here that Adolf Hitler established the Nazi movement and developed his anti-Semitic ideas. Michael Brenner provides a gripping account of how Bavaria's capital city became the testing ground for Nazism and the Final Solution.

Germany is one of the richest and most influential countries in the world, which is amazing when you consider that the nation is only about the size of the US states of Oregon and Washington combined. It’s even more astounding when you consider that at the end of World War II, every major German city (and many minor ones) had been flattened by the Allied bombing campaign. Still more amazing is that the country has gone from international pariah and home of the Holocaust to one of the most well-regarded and humanitarian nations on Earth.

At the end of 1941, it seemed to many people, especially in Germany, that the war was virtually over. Some began to consider what a postwar Europe would look like after a Nazi victory. With nothing to stop them, the Nazis became the most rapacious looters of art the world had ever seen, to the extent that it has been estimated that the Nazis may have acquired up to 20 percent of all art in Western Europe. Some works were returned after the war, many disappeared, and still others have become the subject of intense speculation.

In his best-selling autobiography, Albert Speer, Minister of Armaments and chief architect of Nazi Germany, repeatedly insisted he knew nothing of the genocidal crimes of Hitler's Third Reich. In this revealing new biography, author Martin Kitchen disputes Speer's lifelong assertions of ignorance and innocence, portraying a far darker figure who was deeply implicated in the appalling crimes committed by the regime he served so well. Kitchen reconstructs Speer's life with what we now know, including information from valuable new sources that have come to light only in recent years.

Demokratie ohne Demokraten. Die Weimarer Republik war der erste demokratische Staat auf deutschem Boden, aber - es fehlte ihr an begeisterten Demokraten: Die politische Linke sang das Loblied des Kommunismus, während die Rechte um die NSDAP die Soldaten des Ersten Weltkriegs als neue Elite beschwor. Eine besondere Rolle spielte dabei das Radio, das auch für die politische Propaganda missbraucht wurde. Hier sind die wichtigsten Politiker, Schriftsteller und andere Künstler im O-Ton zu hören.

Wilhelm Canaris was appointed by Hitler to head the Abwehr (the German secret service) 18 months after the Nazis came to power. But Canaris turned against the Fuhrer and the Nazi regime, believing that Hitler would start a war Germany could not win. In 1938 he was involved in an attempted coup, undermined by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. In 1940 he sabotaged the German plan to invade England, and fed General Franco vital information that helped him keep Spain out of the war.

Tantor Audio presents the complete audio version of the long awaited one-volume campaign history from the leading experts of the decisive clash of Nazi and Soviet forces at Stalingrad. Stalingrad is an abridged edition of the five-volume Stalingrad Trilogy.

Despite the best efforts of a number of historians, many aspects of the ferocious struggle between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during the Second World War remain obscure or shrouded in myth. One of the most persistent of these is the notion - largely created by many former members of its own officer corps in the immediate postwar period - that the German Army was a paragon of military professionalism and operational proficiency whose defeat on the Eastern Front was solely attributable to the amateurish meddling of a crazed former Corporal.

For all the literature about Adolf Hitler, there have been just four seminal biographies; this is the fifth, a landmark work that sheds important new light on Hitler himself. Drawing on previously unseen papers and a wealth of recent scholarly research, Volker Ullrich reveals the man behind the public persona, from Hitler's childhood, to his failures as a young man in Vienna, to his experiences during the First World War, to his rise as a far-right party leader.

Was geschah in Deutschland, als sich im November 1918 die militärische Niederlage nicht länger leugnen ließ? Als alles möglich schien - eine Revolution des Proletariats ebenso wie eine Diktatur des Militärs? Döblins vierbändiges Monumentalwerk entstand in den Jahren 1937 bis 1943, auf der Flucht vor den Nationalsozialisten.

By the end of World War I, Albert Einstein had become the face of the new science of theoretical physics and had made some powerful enemies. One of those enemies, Nobel Prize winner Philipp Lenard, spent a career trying to discredit him. Their story of conflict, pitting Germany's most widely celebrated Jew against the Nazi scientist who was to become Hitler's chief advisor on physics, had an impact far exceeding what the scientific community felt at the time.

Ein kulturgeschichtlicher Überblick von 1700 bis 1750 in sachkundig bissiger Rosendorfer-Manier...

Geschichte fasziniert. Vor allem, wenn ein großer Geschichtenerzähler sie mit so klarem Wissen und in so unterhaltsamer Form darbringt, dabei unversehens ganz neue Zusammenhänge aufdeckt und mit bestechender Sachkenntnis und feinsinniger Beobachtungsgabe die wahren Triebfedern der Geschichte entlarvt.
