The Battle of the Bulge was the largest land engagement of World War II. The German counter-attack, spearheaded by three Panzer armies, found the Allies unprepared and ill-equipped. As the fighting raged across the frosty forests of the Ardennes, it was left to a few untested US Infantry divisions to hold the Allied lines. Written by one of the world's leading experts on the subject, this account provides an essential introduction to the events of winter 1944-'45 and to the many soldiers who risked their lives in defence of freedom.

Through this audiobook, we know the true story of this American hero. Without his determination and leadership, we’d all be speaking German! You’ll adore this uplifting story because it’s lovingly written by his distant relative with the help of the General’s nephew as a lasting tribute to a man who changed the world and helped us win WWII.

"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).

Otto Fr. Rossegg verhört in der Slowakei als Dolmetscher für den deutschen Heimatschutz Partisanen, die, von sowjetischen Agenten angestachelt, gegen die slowakische Regierung kämpfen. Zum Wehrdienst verpflichtet, muss Odo (wie Otto auch genannt wird) als Volksdeutscher der Waffen-SS beitreten und wird an der Selbstfahrlafette "Hummel" ausgebildet. Als Offizier rettet er immer wieder sich und seine Kameraden aus brenzligen Situationen. Doch gesundheitlich schwer angeschlagen kommt er in amerikanische Kriegsgefangenschaft.

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. Rupertus "made his bones" in the USMC's "savage wars of peace" before World War II: Haiti for three years after World War I, China in 1929, and again in 1937.

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.

On May 7, 1945, journalist Edward Kennedy bypassed military censorship to be the first to break the news of the Nazi surrender executed in Reims, France. While, at the behest of Soviet leaders, Allied authorities prohibited release of the story, Kennedy stuck to his journalistic principles and refused to manage information he believed the world had a right to know. No action by an American correspondent during the war proved more controversial.

Tidligt om morgenen d. 21. marts 1945 går 31 Mustang-jagere og 20 Mosquito-bombefly på vingerne fra Fearsfield-basen i England. Målet er Gestapos hovedkvarter og deres kartoteker i Shellhuset i København. Peder Hove skildrer med stort engagement angrebet og hændelsesforløbet næsten minut for minut set både fra de angribende fly, fra fangerne og tyskerne i Shellhuset og fra Den Franske Skole på Frederiksberg Allé, der ved en tragisk ulykke fejlagtigt blev målet for en del af bomberne.

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.

Rena Lipiner Katz grew up in the shadow of the Holocaust, believing that the price of her parents’ survival and her own birth was a life of sorrow and guilt. Lipiner Katz explores how her parents’ childhood trauma affected her emotionally and physiologically.

Wayne K. Blickenstaff, known as "Blick," was a stalwart of the 350th Fighter Squadron of the 353rd Fighter Group based at Goxhill, Metfield, and Raydon, England, as part of the Eighth Air Force prosecuting the strategic air campaign against Germany. As an original cadre member, he rose steadily through the ranks to a Lieutenant Colonel and Group Operations Officer. His double "ace" status included a Me262 jet fighter and the destruction of five aircraft in one mission—giving him rare "ace in a day" status.

The war on the Eastern Front from 1941 to 1945 was the bloodiest combat theater in the bloodiest war in history. Oberleutnant Friedrich Wilhelm Sander experienced this bloodshed firsthand when serving with the 11th Panzer-Regiment. This regiment made up the core of the 6th Panzer-Division, one of Hitler's top armored formations, which was involved in most of the major campaigns on the Eastern Front; campaigns such as Operation Barbarossa and Operation Winter Storm.

La 16 ani, Edith Eger a fost trimisă la Auschwitz. La câteva ore după ce părinții ei au fost gazați, ofițerul nazist dr. Josef Mengele a forțat-o pe Edie să danseze și a lăsat-o în viață ca să-l distreze. Edie a fost scoasă dintr-o grămadă de cadavre de către soldații americani care au eliberat lagărele în 1945. A petrecut decenii chinuită de flashbackuri și de vinovăția proprie, hotărâta să tacă și să se ascundă de trecut. La 35 de ani de la încheierea războiului, s-a întors la Auschwitz și a reușit în sfârșit să se ierte și să se vindece.

DØDENS ENGEL FRA AUSCHWITZ handler om lægen Josef Mengele, der i 1943 ankommer til koncentrationslejren i Auschwitz. Mengele står for inddelingen af de jøder, der ankommer til lejren. Til venstre dem der skal dræbes, til højre de arbejdsduelige. Til sig selv udvælger han tvillingepar, som han udsætter for grusomme og absurde forsøg. Videnskaben har altid eksperimenteret på mennesker, og resultaterne har haft stor betydning for meget af det, vi i dag ved om menneskekroppen og sindet.

Et ungt jødisk par mødes i Tivoli i midten af 1930’erne og forelsker sig. Rachel er fra København, og Israel er en forretningsmand fra Litauen. De bliver gift året efter og bosætter sig i Litauen uden at ane, hvordan historie og verdenspolitik, nazisme, kommunisme og krig vil gribe ind i deres liv og gøre deres skæbne til en fortælling om det 20. århundrede. En genspejling af en tid, hvor politisk fanatisme og ondskab får frit spil. Rachel og Israel og deres lille familie undslipper den sikre død under Hitler, men ender i Stalins Gulaghelvede og 16 års deportation i Sibirien.

En lille kreds af socialdemokrater dyrkede under Anden Verdenskrig en fascination af det tyske. Nogle tog springet og blev decideret nazister. Stauning, som var statsminister frem til sin død i 1942, før krigslykken vendte, talte selv for samarbejdspolitikken, var fascineret af den økonomiske politik (planøkonomi), som førtes i Tyskland, og så formentlig ingen anden udvej på krigen, end at Danmark på en eller anden måde ville blive indlemmet i et stortysk rige.

Lieutenant General James Gavin, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division during WWII, is one of the best-known figures of the war. Beginning as the commander of the 505th Parachute Combat Team that spearheaded the American assault on Sicily in July 1943, Gavin advanced to division command and finally command of US forces in Berlin. He kept a wartime diary that starts in April 1943, as the unit was preparing to go to northern Africa and continues through to his final entry on September 1, 1945, during the occupation of Berlin.

Despite the Pearl Harbor Attack being a well-known incident, its build-up is still unfamiliar to many. In hindsight, the attack was a complete blunder, as it led to Japan's downfall. Hence, many people avoid seriously asking the question, "why did Japan attack Pearl Harbor?" In this publication, this question is investigated through the lens of nanshin-ron, the Southern Advance Doctrine.

On the morning of December 7, 1941, Chief Aviation Ordnanceman John W. Finn, though suffering multiple wounds, continued to man his machine gun against waves of Japanese aircraft attacking the Kaneohe Bay Naval Station during the infamous Pearl Harbor raid. Just over three years later, as World War II struggled into its final months, a B-29 radioman named Red Erwin lingered near death after suffering horrific burns to save his air crew in the skies off Japan.
