In October 1977, an unknown German police unit made global headlines by storming a hijacked Lufthansa airliner in Mogadishu, Somalia. Operatives of GSG 9 freed eighty-six hostages, eliminated three of the four terrorists, and emerged with a near-total victory. This daring rescue left the world in awe, including the US military.

Über leere Throne kann man eine Menge sagen. In der Geschichte, sowohl in der Antike als auch in der Neuzeit, bedeutete das Fehlen eines Erben und der plötzliche Tod eines geliebten Monarchen immer Probleme.

In der Geschichte des mittelalterlichen Englands gab es viele solcher Episoden.

There are fewer than 5000 people who can genuinely claim to be members of the British aristocracy, and yet they loom large in the popular consciousness. We're fascinated by their houses and estates, their lives and loves, their foibles and eccentricities. And we entertain the strong suspicion that, while they may be fellow citizens, they are very far from being People Like Us. In Heirs and Graces Eleanor Doughty draws on her unparalleled access to a bewildering range of dukes, duchesses, earls and others to create a vivid picture of who they are and how they tick.

La sera del 23 agosto 1942 la Sedicesima divisione corazzata tedesca si assestava sulle rive del Volga, a breve distanza dalla città di Stalingrado . Era l'avanguardia della "grande armata" che poco più di un anno prima Hitler aveva lanciato a sorpresa contro l'Unione Sovietica "per schiacciare il comunismo slavo". L'Armata Rossa pareva in rotta.
