What do we owe the past? How to make peace with a dark family history? Burkhard Bilger hardly knew his grandfather growing up.

The World Wars of the 20th century caused massive upheavals all over the world.

"My good friends," the mustached, bony man with thick eyebrows and large, strong teeth somewhat reminiscent of those of a horse, shouted to the crowds from the second-floor window of his house at 10 Downing Street, "this is the second time in our history, that there has come back to Downing Street from Germany peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time." (McDonough, 1998, 70).

Marine general William H. Rupertus is best known today for writing the Corps' Rifleman's Creed. Rupertus was one of the outstanding Marines of the twentieth century, but he died in 1945, so his story has never been told.

In the early years of the Third Reich, Hermann Göring, one of the most notorious leaders of the Third Reich, worked to establish his own personal army to rival Himmler's SS and Reichswehr. The result: a private Prussian police force which grew into one of the most powerful armored units in Nazi Germany's Wehrmacht. This unit fought throughout the Second World War, meeting Anglo-American forces in vicious battles across the European theatres of Tunisia, Sicily, and Italy before finally being defeated by the Red Army on the Eastern Front.

No action by an American correspondent during the war proved more controversial.

Livet under Besættelsen gik videre. Under krigens ekstreme situation voksede en omfattende og organiseret kriminalitet - som ellers kun var kendt fra forbudstidens USA - frem. Ikke mindst i den brutale politiløse tid fra 1944. Ulovlig handel med rationeringsmærker, cigaretter mv. fandt sted over hele landet på kaffebarer og i baglokaler. Opfindsomheden var stor blandt menigmand, men også egentlig erhvervskriminalitet, hvor en lang række respektable virksomheder var involveret, fandt sted.

Like other totalitarian regimes, the leader of the Nazis kept an iron grip on power in part by making sure nobody else could attain too much of it, leading to purges of high-ranking officials in the Nazi party. Of these purges, the most notorious was the Night of the Long Knives, a purge in the summer of 1934 that came about when Hitler ordered the surprise executions of several dozen leaders of the SA.
