After the Battle 148 - Tony Colvin - Wilhelmshaven (2010).jpg

WILHELMSHAVEN - Tony Colvin tells the story of this German port city on the North Sea which was greatly extended during the Nazi era to become the largest state-owned naval dockyard in the world, with Hitler labelling it the 'Kriegshafen des Grossdeutschen Reiches' (War Port of the Greater German Reich). The Liverpool Blitz - Although many of the iconic images of the Blitz were taken in London, numerous other cities outside the capital suffered heavy damage and loss of life. As a major port with extensive docks, Liverpool was an obvious target for the Luftwaffe, which began its first operations against the city in August 1940. Neil Holmes describes the devastating effect this had. Banner of Victory over the Reichstag - Nikolai Bodrikhin and Tony Le Tissier recount the tale of how Stalin gave a speech on November 6, 1944, in which he said 'The Red Army is now coming up to its last conclusive mission; together with the armies of our allies, we have to complete the defeat of the German Army, kill the fascist beast in its own lair and raise the banner of victory over Berlin.' For the Red Army soldier 'the lair of the fascist beast' meant only one thing; the Reichstag building in Berlin.

Osprey - Raid 09 - Robert Forczyk - Rescuing Musso lini, Gran Sasso 1943 (2010).jpg

The successful rescue of imprisoned Italian dictator Benito Mussolini from atop the Gran Sasso plateau was one of the most dramatic special forces operations in military history. Arrested by his own officers in July 1943, Mussolini had been whisked away to an isolated and heavily guarded mountaintop resort, the Hotel Campo Imperatore which could only be reached by a heavily guarded cable car station. The Germans, led by SS Haupsturmführer Otto Skorzeny, launched a daring Glider-borne assault, which surprised the Italian guards and secured Mussolini without a shot being fired. However, when the original escape plan had to be scrapped, the Germans organize a desperate, last minute airborne extraction to escape before the Italians could launch a counter attack.

Franz Frisch, Wilbur D. Jr. Jones - Condemned to L ive, A Panzer Artilleryman's Five-Front War (2000).jpg

I read this fascinating memoir from a unique perspective. Franz Frisch and I were both nineteen years old when we entered the army, Franz in the German Heer in 1938; I in the U.S. Army in 1942. Both of us "not long out of Gymnasium." Both artillerymen sworn to serve our country. Only fate and geography kept us from fighting each other. Franz served in Europe; I in the North Pacific. We met, became professional associates and friends at the Defense Systems Management College in 1987, and remain so to this day.
This book reflects the goodness, sensitivity, honesty, dedication and intellect I quickly learned to admire and respect in my friend and comrade. It was a poignant and touching read for me. He provides incredible insight of the life and culture of the German common soldier of World War II. He bares his soul when he describes the conditions, miseries, personal interactions, fears and dreams he experienced during his service. I found that to be startlingly-disturbingly-similar to my own thoughts as an American soldier in a different part of the world, but engaged in the same war.
As a soldier of thirty-five years and an amateur historian, I have nowhere seen anything to rival the candid photographs of the German soldier at the front or in camp. It is a marvelous and long-lasting contribution to the study of World War II. The insights of life on the Russian front in the winter of 1941 are unparalleled and unforgettable.

Isabel Denny - The Fall of Hitler's Fortress City, The Battle for Konigsberg, 1945 (2007).jpg

“This book is well presented and extremely readable. Denny did an excellent job casting a totally non-military perspective on the fortress of Konigsberg, unlike most WW2 books that focus more so from a military strategy point of view. She presented Konigsberg and its rich history as the cultural gem of East Prussia, and beyond the broken families and the lives lost, a piece of human history was destroyed when the Russian conquerors practically razed the city. Even in the post-war years, Russian authorities deliberately refused to maintain or outright demolish buildings of historical value in order to wipe out Konigsberg, now Kaliningrad, from German memory … This book is a wonderful source for those looking for the human side of war. Glorious battles and duels of ideologies aside, it is the civilians who truly suffer, and Denny did a great job illustrating it with first-hand accounts.”

Osprey - Command 02 - Robert Forczyk - Erich von M anstein (2010).jpg

Erich von Manstein was one of the most successful German commanders of World War II. His military mind proved outstanding in many a conflict but perhaps his greatest triumph was his ingenious operational plan that led to the rapid defeat of France in May 1940. Manstein also showed great skill under adversity by commanding a furious rebuff to the Soviet armies in 1943, whilst Germany were retreating. However, his skill could not reverse Germany's declining fortunes and Manstein's frequent disagreement's with Hitler over military strategy led to his dismissal. Robert Forczyk tells the story of one of Germany's most valuable military talents, from his early years to his post-war conviction and his later career.

David Irving - Apocalypsem, The Destruction of Dre sden (2005).jpg

AT 10.10 P.M. ON THE NIGHT of February 13-14, 1945 the R.A.F. Master Bomber broadcast the cryptic order: 'Controller to Plate-Rack Force: Come in and bomb glow of red T.I.s as planned.' The ill-famed attack on Dresden had begun. The target city was among Germany's largest, but it alone had developed no single major war industry. The German authorities had made it a centre for the evacuation of wounded servicemen, and by February 1945 most schools, restaurants, and public buildings had been converted into military hospitals. In selecting Dresden for this purpose, the German government probably hoped that this, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, often compared with Florence for its graceful Baroque architectural style, would be spared the attentions of the allied bombers. By 1945, the legend was deeply entrenched in the population's mind that Dresden was a city that would never be bombed. It was not to be. In February 1945, with the Soviet armies making striking advances in their invasion of Silesia and East Prussia, and when the war's political and military directors were meeting at Yalta, Mr Winston Churchill was urgently in need of some display both of his offensive strength and of his willingness to assist the Russians in their drive westwards. Dresden, the 'virgin target' just seven miles behind the eastern Front, became the victim of Mr Churchill's desire for a spectacular blow. By a combination of delays and poor weather, the raid, the climax of the strategic air offensive against Germany, and the most crushing air-raid of the war, was not delivered until the day that Mr Churchill was departing from Yalta. The city was undefended - it had no guns, and even the German night-fighter force was grounded by Bomber Command's brilliant tactics of deception and trickery. It had no proper air-raid shelters. On the night of the attack, Dresden was housing hundreds of thousands of refugees from Silesia, East Prussia, and from western Germany in addition to its own population of 630,000. Up to 100,000 people, perhaps more, were killed in two to three hours, burned alive, that night. Yet until the author's first book on it appeared in 1963 the raid on Dresden scarcely figured in any official indices of the war. A veil had been drawn across this tragedy. Why was there this official silence about the Dresden tragedy? Certainly little discredit reflected on the officers and men of the bomber forces; equally the two commanders, Sir Arthur Harris and General Carl Spaatz, were not acting out of hand. The directives and orders confronting them were painfully clear. Stung by foreign revulsion at this new St. Valentine's Day Massacre, the British Prime Minister - who had ordered it - penned an angry minute to his Chief of Staff, even before the war ended, rasping that,

David Irving - Apocalypsem, The Destruction of Dre sden (2005).pdf

"The Destruction of Dresden remains a query against the conduct of Allied Bombing." It is from this remarkably forgetful minute that the subtitle of this documentary account is taken. For the first time, the full story, ommitting nothing, of the historical background to this cruel blow and of its unexpected political consequences, is told. First three, and now forty years' research in England, Germany, and the U.S.A., and the active cooperation of the military authorities in London, Washington, and Moscow, produce a detailed account of this tragedy.

William L. O'Neill - World War II, A Student Compa nion (1999).jpg

Grade 9 Up-A readable, concise, and informative book. Organized alphabetically with brief articles ranging in length from a single paragraph to over four pages, the book is illustrated with black-and-white photographs, maps, and reproductions. The text will answer readers' questions and probably inspire further research. Almost every article is cross-referenced and contains a bibliography. Minor problems include occasional moments of editorializing and some quirkiness in the discussion of "Motion Pictures." Although the information presented is pretty standard and much of it might be found in a good encyclopedia, students will find it helpful to have everything in one easy-to-use volume.

Waffen-Arsenal 105 - Bernard Wiersch - VW-Kubelwag en und VW-Schwimmwagen (1987).jpg

Based on the concepts of designer Hannes Tripple, and his Type 2SG 6 amphibious pioneer vehicle, in 1940 Professor Ferdinand Porsche began the development of an amphibian his own. His first vehicle was basically a sealed body Kübelwagen, with a propeller shaft added to the rear and the addition of all wheel drive. This prototype was designated Type 128/1. By the time the 128/5 appeared, what we come to recognize as a schwimmwagen was born. The production version of the 128 retained Kübelwagen style seats and all weather side curtains. By the end of 1941 30 Type 128 vehicles had been delivered to army pioneer units. In 1941 further development on the type 128 was requested by the SS-Führungshauptamt to replace their reconnaissance motorcycles /sidecars. This refinement of the design resulted in the type 166. A total of 14,276 type 166s were produced by wars end, the first 125 by Porsche, the remainder by Volkswagen (Drivers Wanted!).

Waffen-Arsenal 157 - Hans-Georg Mayer-Stein - Der mittlere Einheits-Pkw der Wehrmacht 1937-1945 (199 5).jpg

In den frühen zwanziger Jahren mußte sich die Reichswehr mit handelsüblichen Personenwagen zufriedengeben, da wegen der schlechten Finanzlage im militärischen Etat wie auch bei den Automobilfirmen, die unter den Folgen der Inflation zu leiden hatten, die Entwicklung spezieller Geländewagen nicht denkbar war.
Bei der Beschaffung der Fahrzeuge gaben die verantwortlichen Reichswehrstellen aus Gründen der Wirtschaftlichkeit Autos der mittleren Hubraumklasse den Vorzug. Um die Personenwagen für den militärischen Einsatz tauglich zu machen, wurden einige Änderungen am Fahrwerk und an der Karosserie vorgenommen, so z. B. das Getriebe untersetzt, die Federung verstärkt, ein Sperrdifferential eingebaut und die Bodenfreiheit vergrößert (größere Räder, Verlegung der Auspuffanlage). Vor allem aber wurde Wert auf den offenen Aufbau gelegt: mit schlichtem Zeltdach und aufrollbaren Planen an den Seiten.

Wolgang Sofsky - The Order of Terror, The Concentr ation Camp (2003).jpg

The Nazi concentration camps illustrate the Dostoevskian doctrine that where there is no God, everything is permitted. While the camps had many rules, there were no laws, and certainly no justice. In this lucidly translated volume, award-winning German sociologist Sofsky sets out to analyze the organization of dominance in the camps and concludes that they were places of "absolute power; not a means to an end, but an end in itself." Indifferently ruled by the SS, which delegated responsibility for the day-to-day running to prisoner-functionaries, the lagers were divided into classes, with German political prisoners at the top, and Jews, Poles, and Russians at the bottom. Whether beaten, worked to death or left to die of disease, their lives were worthless, and their pain meaningful only in the pleasure it provided to the torturers. They were nothing, so nothing done to them mattered. Sofsky emphasizes that the murderers, ordinary people who were suffused with a spirit of "camaraderie" and a faith that they wouldn't be punished, did more than was required. "They did what they were permitted to?and they were permitted to do everything." Despite Sofsky's vast and painstaking research, his admirable and horrifying book leaves the reader convinced that the Holocaust is not a subject for sociologists but for theologians.
