That a Jew living in Nazi Berlin survived the Holocaust at all is surprising. That he was a homosexual and a teenage leader in the resistance and yet survived is amazing. But that he endured the ongoing horror with an open heart, with love and without vitriol, and has written about it so beautifully is truly miraculous. This is Gad Beck's story.

The Berlin blockade brought former allies to the brink of war. Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union defeated and began their occupation of Germany in 1945, and within a few years, the Soviets and their Western partners were jockeying for control of their former foe. Attempting to thwart the Allied powers' plans to create a unified West German government, the Soviets blocked rail and road access to the western sectors of Berlin in June 1948.

Swansong 1945 chronicles the end of Nazi Germany and World War II in Europe through hundreds of letters, diaries, and autobiographical accounts covering four days that fateful spring: Hitler's birthday on April 20, American and Soviet troops meeting at the Elbe on April 25, Hitler's suicide on April 30, and finally the German surrender on May 8.

The tank was first developed by the British and French during World War I as a means to break the deadlock on the Western Front. More so than any previous war, the balance of power lay with the defense, as machine guns, trenches, bunkers, barbed wire, and rapid-firing rifles all made frontal assaults on established positions prohibitively costly. In the closing months of the war, the tank partially evened up that balance, even as the war’s commanders initially proved unsure of how to use them.

Der Kölner Dom, die Wartburg, Weimar, Lübeck und Bamberg sind wichtige Zeugen unserer Vergangenheit...

This is a day-by-day account of the 80-day struggle in 1940 between Hitler, poised on the edge of absolute victory, and Churchill, threatened by imminent invasion and defeat.

In the summer of 1962, one year after the rise of the Berlin Wall, a group of daring young West Germans risked prison, Stasi torture and even death to liberate friends, lovers and strangers in East Berlin by digging tunnels under the wall. Then, as the world's press heard about the secret projects, two television networks raced to be the first to document them from the inside, funding two separate tunnels for exclusive rights to film the escapes.

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.

At the end of September 1941, more than a million German soldiers lined up along the frontline just 180 miles west of Moscow. They were well trained, confident, and had good reasons to hope that the war in the East would be over with one last offensive. Facing them was an equally large Soviet force, but whose soldiers were neither as well trained nor as confident. When the Germans struck, disaster soon befell the Soviet defenders.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the continent of Africa was a hotbed of international trade, colonialism, and political gamesmanship. So when World War I broke out, the European powers were forced to contend with each other not just in the bloody trenches - but in the treacherous jungle. And it was in that unforgiving land that General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck would make history.

Il termine "assolutismo illuminato" fa riferimento alle idee e ai comportamenti di quei sovrani europei che nel '700 dichiaravano di volersi servire del potere per il bene dei loro sudditi e che si professavano amici e discepoli dei philosophes francesi. Il più famoso di questi fu il re di Prussia Federico II il Grande, scrittore prolifico, musicista di un certo valore, irreligioso, amico di Voltaire.

The Nazi conscience is not an oxymoron. In fact, the perpetrators of genocide had a powerful sense of right and wrong, based on civic values that exalted the moral righteousness of the ethnic community and denounced outsiders. Claudia Koonz's latest work reveals how racial popularizers developed the infrastructure and rationale for genocide during the so-called normal years before World War II.

It is often claimed that Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany through democratic means, and while that is a stretch, it is true that he managed to become an absolute dictator as Chancellor of Germany in the 1930s through a mixture of politics and intimidation. Ironically, he had set such a course only because of the failure of an outright coup attempt known as the Beer Hall Putsch about a decade earlier.

Alles, was Sie über die Germanen wissen müssen - spannend erzählt, kompakt aufbereitet, wissenschaftlich fundiert. Wie schafften es die Germanen, die scheinbar übermächtigen Legionen des Varus in der Schlacht vom Teutoburger Wald vernichtend zu schlagen?

The history of East Germany was closely intertwined with the development of its security services, specifically the Stasi. In an era of totalitarian countries dominated by repressive state agencies, the Stasi stood out for its size and the sheer breadth and depth of its surveillance.

München, 1918: Nach der Absetzung des Königs liegen mit der neuen Räterepublik plötzlich Pazifismus, direkte Demokratie und sogar die Herrschaft der Fantasie im Bereich des Möglichen. An der Spitze der Bewegung stehen die Schriftsteller Ernst Toller, Gustav Landauer und Erich Mühsam, bei denen nach den Tagen der Euphorie jedoch schnell Ernüchterung folgt. In rasantem Tempo und aus der Perspektive von Beteiligten wie Thomas Mann, Rainer Maria Rilke, Adolf Hitler oder Oskar Maria Graf erzählt Volker Weidermann einen historischer Thriller über ein einzigartiges Ereignis der deutschen Geschichte.

Rundfunk, der Geschichte machte. Dass der Kampf gegen Hitler-Deutschland nicht nur mutig war, sondern oft auch große Unterhaltung, ist hier erstmals in Reden, Liedern, Hörspielen und Kabarettsendungen zu hören, mit denen viele Schriftsteller und Künstler Widerstand leisteten. Die Grußsendungen mit deutschen Kriegsgefangenen waren so beliebt, dass sie tagsüber ausgestrahlt wurden und die Hörer hohe Zuchthausstrafen oder sogar ihr Leben riskierten.
