Twice Suleiman attacked the heart of Europe: first the island of Rhodes, home to the Hospitaller Knights, and secondly, Vienna, the gateway city to the continent.

Selvom de fleste har hørt om Stauffenberg-attentatet mod Hitler, er det de færreste, der kender navnet på hjernen bag: Jens Peter Jessen. Historien har simpelthen glemt ham – men ikke med rette. DANSKEREN DER VILLE DRÆBE HITLER fortæller historien om Jessen, der voksede op uden for Tinglev i Sønderjylland og siden blev involveret i et af verdenshistoriens mest berømte mordforsøg. Da Hitler kom til magten i 1933, var Jessen overbevist nazist, men han blev hurtigt klar over, at han havde taget fejl.

I denne bog fortæller 11 af disse børn, hvordan det at være et 'gemt barn' har præget resten af deres liv.

Det er viljen til (og kampen for) at gøre en forskel og kæmpe for friheden, ofte med livet som indsats.

In diesem Erlebnisbericht tauchen wir in das eindringliche Werk von Peter Bamm ein, der als Kriegschirurg an der Ostfront den Wahnsinn und das Grauen des Zweiten Weltkriegs hautnah erlebte. Das Hörbuch erzählt nicht nur den Kampf ums Überleben, sondern auch die moralischen Abgründe, den Schmerz, das Leid und die Hoffnung der Menschen inmitten der Hölle des Krieges. Es ist eine Geschichte, die zum Nachdenken zwingt – über Menschlichkeit, Schuld, Verantwortung und die unsichtbare Flagge, die jeder von uns in sich trägt.
