"Nothing New But 'Abortive Gasp'“ portrays the short-lived, controversial Hamburg electro-industrial band Abortive Gasp (1987–1989). Founded by Harry Luehr (instruments) and Tim Paal (vocals) with rotating guests, they stood out for their high improvisation – unusual in the electronic scene. Their sound mixed early dub, parodies of Front 242/Ministry, and ironic-anarchic elements. As "Hamburg Bunker Bands“ (with Girls Under Glass), they played clubs like Kir or Stairways near the Schanzenviertel Flakbunker – a refuge from scene hostility.

Schon vor mehr als 300 Jahren gewöhnten sich die Deutschen an das Leben in der Welt des Kolonialismus. Schließlich wurde die lang geübte Ausbeutung zur Grundlage des deutschen Kolonialreichs in Afrika, Ozeanien und China: Das weltumspannende Imperium war größer, als heute oft angenommen wird. Private Unternehmer hatten die Voraussetzungen dafür geschaffen. An der Härte, mit der viele Europäer ihre Interessen durchsetzten, hatte die Abschaffung der Sklaverei im Lauf des 19. Jahrhunderts nur wenig geändert.

Historian Timothy W. Ryback illuminates just how close Hitler came to not ascending to power.

Operation Gold is one of the most extraordinary—and least believed—Cold War operations ever attempted: a secret tunnel dug beneath divided Berlin so Britain and America could listen directly to Soviet communications. It sounds like the plot of a spy thriller, yet it happened in real life, in a city where every street corner had eyes, every building had informants, and every shadow seemed to belong to someone else. This book takes you into that world, where engineering became espionage, and where the ground itself became a battleground.

'Sebestyen reminds us once again why he is one of the best historians writing today' ANDREW ROBERTS, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny In the years after the First World War, Berlin was - as Vladimir Nabokov described it - a place 'of dangerous glamour and worldliness, of tawdry cynicism...

In this new military-focused study, renowned World War II historian Robert Forczyk traces the development and operations of the Wehrmacht from the announcement of rearmament in 1935 to the occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1938.

In the bitterly cold forests along Germany's western frontier, the 8-mile ridge of the Schnee Eifel became the unlikely site of three brutal battles. This is a gripping account of the US 4th Infantry Division's ill-fated assault in September 1944, their months-long stalemate with German forces, and the catastrophic consequences of tactical misjudgments that led to one of the largest American surrenders of the war.

Das Stück über ihn erinnert nicht nur an die Aufbruchstimmung in Zeiten der Weimarer Republik, es zeichnet auch den Zusammenbruch eines Deutschlands nach, das sein Heil im Faschismus suchte. Vom gefeierten Autor des expressionistischen Dramas Der Sohn über den entschiedenen Gegner des Ersten wie Zweiten Weltkriegs und Komödienschreiber hin zum durch Europa Flüchtenden auf der Suche nach einem Ort, der ihm vor den Schergen des Dritten Reichs Schutz bieten sollte, ist das Drama Hasenclever das Porträt einer Zeit, die unter Krieg und Diktatur litt.

On 13 July 2014, World Cup Final, the last ten minutes of extra time: Germany forward Mario Götze, receiving a floated pass from his international teammate André Schürrle, jumps slightly to meet the ball and cushion it with his chest. Landing on his left foot, he takes a step with his right, swivels, and in one fluid motion, without the ball touching the ground, volleys it past the onrushing Argentine goalkeeper....

Case Red tells the often overlooked story of the fall of Metropolitan France from the evacuation of the BEF at Dunkirk through to the eventual collapse and armistice in June 1940. Even after the legendary evacuation from Dunkirk in June 1940 there were still large British formations fighting the Germans alongside their French allies. After mounting a vigorous counterattack at Abbeville and then conducting a tough defence along the Somme, the British were forced to conduct a second evacuation from the ports of Le Havre, Cherbourg, Brest and St Nazaire.

Germany one felt the world’s wrath for crimes committed during the Nazi regime. More recently, it received extravagant praise for facing up to the atrocities. The country now boasts of new Jewish museums, Holocaust memorials, restored synagogues, and classroom lessons designed to honor its Jewish heritage and teach tolerance. This effort was led not by politicians or historians, but by local citizen activists, few of them Jewish, almost all of them born after World War II. They could have shrugged off responsibility for evils done before they were born.

Carsten Dams und Michael Stolle untersuchen in ihrem Buch Anspruch und Wirklichkeit der Gestapo. Dabei spannen sie den Bogen von der späten Weimarer Republik über die Verbrechen des Nationalsozialismus in Deutschland und Europa bis zu den Prozessen gegen Gestapobeamte nach 1945. Entstanden ist eine souveräne Synthese auf dem Stand der neuesten Forschung.

Deutschland existiert seit 1871. Aber was war davor? Zweitausend Jahre lang war der Raum zwischen Rhein und Oder namenlos, gespalten, vergessen. Kein Reich wie Frankreich. Keine Insel wie England. Kein Königreich wie Spanien. Nur ein Flickenteppich aus Stämmen, Fürstentümern, Kriegen. Rom kam nie wirklich. Die stärksten Germanen zogen weg — nach Italien, Spanien, England. Zurück blieben die, die nicht gehen konnten. Das Heilige Römische Reich war eine hohle Hülle, ein Kaiser ohne Macht. Die Reformation zerriss das Land. Der Dreißigjährige Krieg tötete Millionen. Dann kam Preußen.

Da de russiske tropper nåede Berlin i april 1945, indtog de en ruinhob befolket af udmattede og udsultede skygger. Gennem dagbøger, interviews og nazisternes egne fortrolige overvågningsrapporter tegner den britiske historiker Roger Moorhouse et levende og detaljeret portræt af berlinernes liv under Anden Verdenskrig. Berlin i krig er en fortælling om mod, moral og frygtelige forbrydelser blandt almindelige berlinere. Alle blev de vidne til krigens rædsler og den ydmygende skæbne, der blev deres hjemby til del.
