Von der Aufstellung in Wismar an der Ostsee über Polen und Frankreich nach Russland schildert diese Chronik die ganze Härte der schweren Flak. Als Flugabwehr aufgestellt, müssen die Männer schnell erkennen, dass sie an vielen Frontabschnitten die Feuerwehr der Front sind. Schonungslos werden die erbitterten Kämpfe gegen Bunker, Panzer und den russischen Winter dargestellt. Die 3. Batterie der 1. Abteilung Flakregiment 61 durchlebt die Hölle des Krieges an ihren schweren 8,8 cm Kanone.

SS Commander Reinhard Höhn was one of Nazi Germany's most brilliant legal minds, an archetype of the fervid technocrats that built the Third Reich. His story wouldn't be too different from that of other prominent Nazis, if not for the fact that the great majority of Germany's post-war business leaders were educated at his school. Is this a coincidence? Or is there a link between the forms of organization of Nazism and the principles of corporate management?

Formed in the fall of 1943, the Fifteenth Air Force was popularly known as the "The Forgotten Fifteenth," as its achievements were overshadowed by more glamorous exploits of the Eighth Air Force in the air war over Germany. Nevertheless, the Fifteenth's contribution to Allied victory was crucial, and a vital part of that was the role played by the escorting fighter groups from the Fifteenth Fighter Command who protected the B-17s and B-24s from the Luftwaffe in the skies over Romania.

July, 1942. The North African campaign rages. The Allies have been forced to retreat from Gazala, and are being pursued through the sandy wastes by 'The Desert Fox' – Field Marshal Rommel and his Panzerarmee. The target of the enemy is Cairo – if taken, the Axis powers will control the Suez Canal and be within striking distance of the oil fields of the Middle East, tipping the war in Hitler's favour. In their way is the Eighth Army, spearheaded by the battle-hardened troops of the Ninth Australian Division and the Second New Zealand Division.

For eighty-two years the Royal Flying Corps (RFC), which in 1918 became the Royal Air Force (RAF), maintained a permanent military aviation presence in the Far East. The first RFC units arrived in India in 1915. RAF India grew substantially in the interwar period and throughout World War Two. Various changes in the command structure finally saw the creation of the Far East Air Force (FEAF) in June 1949, covering South East Asia and Hong Kong.

They are the lone wolves of the battlefield. Tracking the enemy, lying in wait for the target to appear—then they shoot to kill. Armed with an unerring eye, infinite patience and a mastery of camouflage, combat snipers stalk the enemy with only one goal....

Judith Hermann folgt den Spuren ihres Großvaters, der während des Zweiten Weltkriegs für die SS im polnischen Radom stationiert war. Sie verknüpft ihr Schreiben mit seiner lange verleugneten Geschichte, reist von Polen aus weiter zu ihrer Schwester nach Neapel und geht Erinnern und Vergessen der folgenden Generationen nach. In Zwischen- und Untertönen spürt Judith Hermann das Verdrängte, die Leerstellen unserer Gesellschaft auf. Ebenso magisch wie magnetisch erzählt sie davon, wie fragil wir uns in unseren Leben einrichten – und zeigt auch, welche Schönheit sich darin verbergen kann.

A vast canvas of camps, prisons, transit centres and secret police, of informers and spies and interrogators but also of everyday heroism, The Gulag Archipelago is Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's grand masterwork. Based on the testimony of some 200 survivors, and on the recollection of Solzhenitsyn's own 11 years in labour camps and exile, it chronicles the story of those at the heart of the Soviet Union who opposed Stalin, and for whom the key to survival lay not in hope but in despair.
