In the wake of World War I, the German army lay in ruins - defeated in the war, sundered by domestic upheaval, and punished by the Treaty of Versailles. A mere 20 years later, Germany possessed one of the finest military machines in the world, capable of launching a stunning blitzkrieg attack against Poland in 1939. Well-known military historian Robert M. Citino shows how Germany accomplished this astonishing reversal and developed the doctrine, tactics, and technologies that its military would use to devastating effect in World War II.

For 32 days, they were chased across the mountains as they headed for the coast and a rendezvous with a Royal Navy launch waiting to spirit the general to Cairo. Rick Stroud, whose Phantom Army of Alamein won plaudits for its meticulous research and its lightness of touch in the telling, brings these same gifts to bear in this new project.

The Berlin Wall, constructed in October of 1961, stood for 28 years as an ugly divisor of a once united Germany. The wall was successful at keeping many East Germans inside a country that fell further and further behind in living standards, democratic privileges, and individual freedoms. Despite its success, many found a way to cross the barrier to obtain a better life in the West.

Set against the backdrop of the turbulent late 1960s and early 1970s, this compelling audiobook provides the first comprehensive history of the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, notorious for the abduction of Israeli Olympians by Palestinian terrorists and the hostages' tragic deaths after a botched rescue mission by the German police. Drawing on a wealth of newly available sources from the time, eminent historian David Clay Large explores the 1972 festival in all its ramifications.

After the failure of the Weimar Republic, the Nazis believed their mission was to "masculinize" life in Germany. Hermann Goering told women, "Take a pot, a dustpan and a broom, and marry a man", but many still became active participants in murder and mayhem. From the Reich Bride Schools through the Bund Deutscher Mädel and the bizarre Lebensborn Aryan breeding programme to the brothels of the Sicherheitsdienst, this book covers the lives of women in the Third Reich, concentrating on those who sought personal power and influence amid the chaos.

In February 1945, 350 American POWs captured earlier at the Battle of the Bulge or elsewhere in Europe were singled out by the Nazis because they were Jews or were thought to resemble Jews.

Frederick the Great, king of Prussia from 1740 to 1786, was one of the most remarkable men of the 18th century. Born the son of strict disciplinarian Frederick William I in 1712, he was a most precocious and obstinate young man, and until he actually became king, he never exhibited any signs of becoming a military genius. But the young king displayed an amazing aptitude for military life and plunged into war with Austria over the long-disputed province of Silesia.

On 30 April 1945, Adolf Hitler committed suicide. The following day, his propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, also killed himself, and the crumbling Third Reich passed to Admiral Karl Dönitz. The Nazis' position seemed hopeless. Yet remarkably, the war in the rest of Europe went on for another 10 days. After Hitler looks at these days as a narrative day-by-day countdown but also as a broader global history of a European war that had seen some of the most savage battles in history.

Der bekannte Historiker Martin Kitchen gibt hier die Geschichte der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft in großen Zügen wieder und beantwortet die wichtigsten Fragen: Wie kam Hitler an die Macht? Wie wurde die Diktatur etabliert? Wo liegen die Gründe für Hitlers außerordentliche Popularität ...

Das Ministerium für Staatssicherheit der DDR: Schaltstelle zur Überwachung der Bürger und Archiv für Dokumente der Kontrolle und Bespitzelung. Was bis heute nicht nach außen drang, sind die Mitschnitte von Vernehmungen und unzähligen Anrufen aus DDR und BRD, um Mitbürger zu denunzieren: mögliche Grenzflüchtige, unerlaubte Warensendungen, mangelnde Gesinnung. Doch es gibt auch die andere Seite, die Sabotage.

Am 7. November 1918 wurde Revolution gemacht in München, Kaserne um Kaserne musste die rote Flagge hissen, bis die Wittelsbacher endlich zugunsten der Republik gestürzt waren. Dass der Freistaat Bayern, der von konservativen Kreisen so stolz im Munde getragen wird, ausgerechnet von dem Sozialisten Kurt Eisner ausgerufen wurde, wird hierzulande gerne unter den Tisch gekehrt, ebenso wie das blutige Ende der Münchner Räterepublik. Wer könnte sich besser zu einer schaurig-schönen Reise zu den Ursprüngen des roten Bayerns aufmachen als Hans Well?
