Este libro está dirigido a los lectores que buscan una introducción a la confusa diversidad de la literatura alemana. El orden cronológico elegido es el más adecuado para este fin porque, a diferencia de los métodos de ordenación orientados a temas o géneros, muestra una génesis y traza la genealogía de la literatura alemana. El hecho de que la novela de Goethe Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre probablemente habría tenido un aspecto completamente distinto sin el Simplicissimus de Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen puede mostrarse más fácil y eficazmente en el contexto de un viaje en el tiempo presentado cronológicamente.

Deutschland – Deutschland: ein historischer Moment. Selten gibt es Augenblicke in der Geschichte, die wie ein Brennglas wirken. Das einzige Fußballspiel zwischen der DDR und der BRD ist ein solcher herausragender, brisanter und zugleich universaler Moment. Als sich am 22.

In November 1941, Hitler ordered German forces to complete the final drive on the Soviet capital, now less than 100 kilometers away. Army Group Center was pressed into the attack for one last attempt to break Soviet resistance before the onset of winter. From the German perspective, the final drive on Moscow had all the ingredients of a dramatic final battle in the east, which, according to previous accounts, only failed at the gates of Moscow.

Have you ever wondered what was going on in Adolf Hitler's mind during his final hours in the Führerbunker? What were his thoughts as radio contact with the outside world grew faint, Soviet explosions became louder and louder, and he began to feel his unassailable power ebbing away?

Historicizing the much-championed ideal of zero waste, Anne Berg shows that the management of waste was central to the politics of war and to the genesis of genocide in the Nazi Germany. Destruction and recycling were part of an overarching strategy to redress raw material shortages, procure lebensraum, and cleanse the continent of Jews and others considered undesirable. Resource extending schemes obscured the crucial political role played by virtually all German citizens to whom salvaging, scrapping, and recycling were promoted as inherently virtuous and orderly behaviors.

Thomas Harding kannte seinen Großonkel Hanns Alexander als einen freundlichen Mann mit viel Familiensinn, der ein bürgerliches Leben als Bankangestellter in London geführt hatte, sich für die Synagoge engagierte und gerne Witze machte.

Erst nach dem Tod von Hanns Alexander erfuhr Harding, dass er ein Nazijäger gewesen war.
