Dieses Hörbuch bietet eine knappe Gesamtdarstellung des Dritten Reiches auf dem neuesten Forschungsstand. Nach einer Analyse der Faktoren, die den Aufstieg des Nationalsozialismus und die Etablierung der Diktatur ermöglicht haben, ist der größere Teil der Lesung den Jahren von 1939 bis 1945 gewidmet, in denen sich die deutsche Geschichte in eine europäische und welthistorische Dimension ausweitet. Klar und prägnant im Urteil informiert Ulrich Herbert über Hitlers Krieg gegen die Sowjetunion, die deutsche Besatzungsherrschaft in Europa und die Ermordung der europäischen Juden.

In 1941 Hitler's armies blocked the last roads leading into Leningrad. What followed was one of the most horrific sieges in history. When the German High Command encircled Leningrad it was a deliberate policy to eradicate the city's civilian population by starving them to death.

If anything, Karl Marx’s life reminds us of the power of the pen over the sword. During his lifetime, he lived in relative obscurity. Rather than making any waves, Marx was usually lucky just to make the rent. And to make the ongoing hardship of his life even worse, Karl Marx was afflicted with boils from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. But his pen would indeed demonstrate its power, and by the time 70-some years had passed since his demise, one-third of the entire planet would be living under regimes based upon his ideology.

The Arms of Krupp brings to life Europe's wealthiest, most powerful family, a 400-year German dynasty that developed the world's most technologically advanced weapons, from cannons to submarines to antiaircraft guns; provided arms to generations of German leaders, including the Kaiser and Hitler; operated private concentration camps during the Nazi era; survived conviction at Nuremberg; and wielded enormous influence on the course of world events.

In May 1941 the German battleship Bismarck, accompanied by heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, broke out into the Atlantic to attack Allied shipping.

The massive armies of the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies posed a huge threat to the nations of Western Europe. US military planners decided they needed a plan to slow the juggernaut they expected when and if a war began. The plan was Special Forces Berlin.

May 1945. Hitler is dead, and the Third Reich is little more than smoking rubble. No GI wants to be the last man killed in action against the Nazis.

It's a dangerous mission, but Lee has help from a decorated German Wehrmacht officer and his men, who voluntarily join the fight.

Unruhige Jahre sind es, die am Beginn der modernen deutschen Geschichte stehen selbst wenn die Unruhe zunächst von außen kommt. Die Französische Revolution, dann Napoleon mit seinen Feldzügen verändern die europäische und auch die deutsche Landkarte.

"Wer sich in die Geschichte der deutschen Nation vertieft, der hat leicht den Eindruck eines unruhigen Lebens in Extremen." (Golo Mann)

Drawing on more than a half-century of research and teaching, Dennis Showalter presents a fresh perspective on the German Army during World War I. Showalter surveys an army at the heart of a national identity, driven by - yet also defeated by - warfare in the modern age, that struggled to capitalize on its victories, and ultimately forgot the lessons of its defeat.
