In diesem Tagebuch steigen wir wieder in das Cockpit eines Jagdflugzeuges. Luftkämpfe, Abschüsse und der Verlust von Kameraden zeichnen den Weg dieses Jagdfliegers, der 1943 seinen ersten Feindflug im Osten erlebte und dann schnell lernen musste, wie die Deutsche Luftwaffe sich zu Tode siegte. Dieser Erlebnisbericht schildert schonungslos die Strapazen und Härten, die diese jungen Männer in der Blüte ihres Lebens durchstehen mussten und zeigt auch die katastrophalen Versorgungsengpässe in der Luftwaffe und die teilweise überstürzten Rückzüge an der Ostfront.

Like many post-9/11 combat veterans, JT Blatty struggled to regain her sense of purpose in the first years returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq. In 2018, a chance encounter brought her to Ukraine, drawn in by the familiarity of war and those who serve in wars. Over five years, JT captured the oral history and portraits of a tribe of revolutionaries, the Donbas volunteer soldiers. As she embedded with them on the front line in bunkers and forests, and in Kyiv flats, JT's story began to blend with theirs in a universal bond of combat veterans, compelling her to stay as a new war began.

Nicht weit des ostpreußischen Rastenburg, des heutigen Ketrzyn in Polen, befand sich ein zentraler Ort des Zweiten Weltkriegs: das »Führerhauptquartier Wolfsschanze«. Dort verbrachte Adolf Hitler nach dem Angriff auf die Sowjetunion den Großteil seiner Zeit. Dort wurde über die systematische Ermordung der europäischen Juden entschieden. Dort ereignete sich am 20. Juli 1944 das Stauffenberg-Attentat, das der Diktator nur leicht verletzt überlebte. Auf der Basis von Zeitzeugnissen und bislang unveröffentlichten Dokumenten rekonstruiert Felix Bohr den Alltag in der »Wolfsschanze«.

Originally published in 1969, Akenfield forms a unique document of a way of life that has, in many ways, disappeared.

Throughout the 16th century, wars raged across Europe as kings and republics jostled for wealth and power. Yet one man exceeded all these medieval princes of Christendom: Suleiman the Magnificent. As ruler of the Ottoman Empire, he governed 25 million people from Constantinople, his realm stretching from Persia to the Atlantic Ocean. Twice Suleiman attacked the heart of Europe: first the island of Rhodes, home to the Hospitaller Knights, and secondly, Vienna, the gateway city to the continent.

Formed in the fall of 1943, the Fifteenth Air Force was popularly known as the "The Forgotten Fifteenth," as its achievements were overshadowed by more glamorous exploits of the Eighth Air Force in the air war over Germany. Nevertheless, the Fifteenth's contribution to Allied victory was crucial, and a vital part of that was the role played by the escorting fighter groups from the Fifteenth Fighter Command who protected the B-17s and B-24s from the Luftwaffe in the skies over Romania.
