No meu mundo de infância, eu só conseguia perceber a essência de duas gerações anteriores: meus avós (apenas maternos) e meus pais. Meus avós riam e brincavam com seus netos, embora seus rostos mostrassem a aflição fatalista que vivenciaram na Europa durante os difíceis anos da primeira metade do século XX. Eles estavam lá e conheciam o sentido da vida além do que podemos imaginar. É tão simples que seus rostos nos mostram a diferença entre existir e sobreviver.

Dieses dem Buch zugrunde liegende schriftliche Material ist im strengen Sinn kein Tagebuch, trotzdem wird der Begriff übernommen, weil der Soldat Engelbert selbst von einem Tagebuch spricht. Das aufgefundeneTagebuch und die Briefe sind Geschichte zum anfassen und hinterlassen nach dem Lesen meist mehr Fragen als sie Antworten geben.

Dabei können Tagebücher viel über einen Menschen aussagen, wenn der Tagebuchschreiber sich an die Wahrheit hält und ehrlich mit sich selbst umgeht. Und da stellt sich die Frage?

Albert Speer – Hitlers Lieblingsarchitekt, späterer Rüstungsminister und enger Vertrauter des Diktators – gehört zu den rätselhaftesten Figuren des Dritten Reichs. Jahrzehntelang prägte er sein öffentliches Bild selbst: als verführter Künstler, unpolitischer Macher, der von den Verbrechen des Regimes nichts gewusst haben wollte. Heinrich Breloer, einer der renommiertesten deutschen Dokumentarfilmer, räumt mit diesem Mythos auf.

Vladimir Lenin lies in a tomb in Moscow's Red Square. History has not been kind to this Russian leader, his teachings reviled by modern mainstream politics. But in today's capitalist society, riven by class inequality and imperialist wars, perhaps it is worth returning to this communist icon's demand for "Peace, Land and Bread", and his radical understanding of democracy.

In April 1917, as Tsar Nicholas II's abdication sent shockwaves across war-torn Europe, the future leader of the Bolshevik revolution, Vladimir Lenin, was far away, exiled in Zurich. To lead the revolt, Lenin needed to return to Petrograd immediately. But to get there, he would have to cross Germany, which meant accepting help from the deadliest of Russia's adversaries and betraying his homeland.

But the post-9/11 war against terrorists is not the first time the United States has battled such ferocious foes.

As a Russian recruit in World War II, Ivan Makarov witnessed General Chuikov pull out his pistol and shoot their regimental commander as a traitor. That was on his first day at the front. 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.
