When President Roosevelt called for the country to be the great "Arsenal of Democracy," Detroit helped turn the tide against fascism with its industrial might. Locals were committed to the cause, putting careers and personal ambitions on hold. Factories were retooled from the ground up. Industrialist Henry Ford, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, aviator Charles Lindbergh, legendary boxer Joe Louis, future baseball Hall of Famer Hank Greenberg and the real-life Rosie the Riveters all helped drive the city that was "forging thunderbolts" for the front lines.

Monatelang brandete 1945 eine Selbstmordwelle durch Deutschland, die Tausende - Frauen, Männer und Kinder - in den Untergang riss. In welchen Abgrund hatten die Menschen geblickt, dass sie angesichts der Befreiung vom Dritten Reich nur im Tod einen Ausweg sahen? Aus der Sicht derer, die das unfassbare Geschehen selbst miterlebt haben, erzählt der Historiker Florian Huber von dem größten Massenselbstmord der deutschen Geschichte und seiner Verdrängung durch die Überlebenden – ein fesselnder Blick auf die Gefühle der kleinen Leute, die in ihren Untergang marschierten.

My dearest Mr Snippet… World War II has just begun, and newly-married John, a young cadet army officer from London, has been forced to leave behind his beloved wife Rita. As each of them desperately try to hold onto their joint hopes and dreams, will fate grant them the future they dream of, or will the unpredictabilities of a relentless war conspire against them?

Combining the personal recollections of soldiers with historical narrative and analysis of the actual invasion as it unfolded, this is a detailed description of the action at Omaha Beach during the Normandy invasion of World War II.

The Reichsverteidigung (Defence of the Reich) was a do or die campaign that saw the very best fighter pilots in the Luftwaffe attempt to defend German skies from increasingly large formations of RAF and USAAF medium and heavy bombers. Flying both piston-engined and, eventually, the first jet-engined fighters to see operational service, the Jagdflieger employed a wide range of weapons and tactics in an effort to blunt the Allied air offensive across Nazi Germany and Occupied Europe.

Of the 16 million people who served in the Second World War, perhaps less than half a million are still alive (as of this writing). Regrettably, these veterans are currently dying at a rate of approximately 500 per day. Brookdale Creve Coeur is a local senior living facility in the suburbs of St. Louis that houses a number of these veterans. It also happens to be where the author's 85-year-old father recently moved. Places like Brookdale contain a treasure trove of remarkable and inspiring stories from World War Two.

Après le grand succès de son De Gaulle et Churchill, la mésentente cordiale, un nouveau face à face entre deux géants. D'un côté, le président des Etats-Unis, politicien brillant, retors et manipulateur. De l'autre, le chef de la France libre, visionnaire, intransigeant, soupçonneux à l'extrême et animé d'un patriotisme exacerbé.

Héros de la Grande Guerre, putschiste improvisé, chômeur morphinomane, homme d'affaires talentueux, dandy corpulent, orateur tonitruant, ministre de l'Intérieur sans scrupules, parvenu millionnaire, collectionneur d'art compulsif, maréchal de l'Air amateur, tel est Hermann Goering, le deuxième homme du IIIe Reich. Voici, grâce à une abondante documentation allemande, anglaise, américaine et suédoise, ainsi qu'à l'interview de témoins tels que l'aide de camp d'Adolf Hitler, le régime national-socialiste revisité au travers d'un personnage démesuré – à tous les sens du mot.

Prachtige, hartverscheurende memoires over de Holocaust, waarin Sara Leibovits en haar dochter Eti Elboim samen vertellen hoe Sara als jong meisje Auschwitz wist te overleven, als enige van haar hele familie. De trein kwam langzaam tot stilstand met piepende remmen. Het was donderdagochtend 18 mei 1944. Al sinds maandag hadden we in de duisternis en smerigheid van de veewagon opeengepakt gezeten en hongergeleden. Onze reisgenoten waren tranen, beklemming en onze angst voor het onbekende geweest. Het zestienjarige Joodse meisje Sara Leibovits zat samen met haar familie in deze trein.

In June 1944, an Allied army of British, American, and Canadian troops sought to open up a Second Front in Normandy. But they were not only fighting to bring the Second World War to an end. After decades of Anglo-American struggle for dominance, they were also contending with one another—to determine who would ascend to global hegemony once Hitler's armies fell. Marc Milner traces this bitter rivalry as it emerged after the First World War and evolved during the fragile peace which led to the Second.

Added to the invasion plan largely at the insistence of British General Bernard Montgomery, the attack at Utah Beach aimed to secure the Cotentin Peninsula and ultimately seize the port of Cherbourg. Although the assault on Utah Beach became one of the most successful American military operations of World War II, it was fraught with risk from the beginning: Not only was Utah the most isolated of the five D-Day beaches, but the airborne operation was of unprecedented size and scope.

At the eve of the Second World War, an estimated 1.6 million Jewish children lived in Nazi-occupied Europe. While 10,000 of them escaped to Britain in the Kindertransport, only some 500 found a new home in France. Here they attempted to begin again—but their refuge would all too soon become a trap. For the first time, Laura Hobson Faure brings to life the experiences of these children, and the Jewish and non-Jewish organizations who helped them. Drawing on survivors' testimonies as well as children's diaries, letters, drawings, songs, and poems, Who Will Rescue Us? recreates their journeys.

This compelling history examines the closing months of the vital campaign which ultimately determined the successful conclusion of the Pacific War for the Allies. But it had not been a smooth process. The campaign continued in fits and starts with both the US Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy making crucial errors. But as the pendulum of war swung, there was one distinct advantage to the Allies. This was the successful efforts by the United States Army Signals Intelligence Section and the Navy Communication Special Unit to monitor, intercept, decode and translate Japanese messages.

Neste trabalho rigoroso de pesquisa histórica, Eric Kurlander desfaz mitos sobre a ligação do nazismo a forças sobrenaturais ao mesmo tempo que encontra inúmeras evidências de como o Partido Nacional-Socialista surgiu em um meio que acreditava em teorias da conspiração delirantes e que, depois, passou a alimentar uma gama de irracionalidades. Os monstros de Hitler, trabalho de fôlego de Eric Kurlander, desvia dos exageros e mostra com vasta pesquisa a conexão real entre seitas com crenças abstrusas e o mais alto escalão do Partido.

Sur les hauteurs d'une colline, au coeur de l'Allemagne nazie, se dresse un imposant château gothique, magnifique et monstrueux. Dans ce colossal labyrinthe de pierre sont parqués les « ennemis n°1 » d'Hitler, 200 officiers haut gradés aux multiples nationalités. Tout au long de leur longue et éprouvante captivité dans l'enceinte ultrasécurisée de Colditz, ces « incorrigibles » n'auront qu'une seule obsession : s'évader.
