Titoli in Seconda guerra mondiale

The German Army lost two consecutive wars and the conclusion is often drawn that it simply wasn't able to cope with its opponents. This image is constantly reinforced in literature and in the media, where seemingly brainless operating German units led by fanatical officers predominate. Nothing was as far from the truth. The records show that the Germans consistently outfought the far more numerous Allied armies that eventually defeated them: their relative battlefield performance was at least 1.5 and in most cases three times as high as that of its opponents.

Kenneth Macksey's highly regarded biography of Generaloberst Heinz Guderian gives clear insight into the mind and motives of the father of modern tank warfare. Panzer General shows Guderian as a man of ideas equipped with the ability to turn inspiration into reality. A master of strategy and tactics, he was the officer most responsible for creating blitzkrieg in World War II.

Since its publication in 1960, William L. Shirer’s monumental study of Hitler’s German empire has been widely acclaimed as the definitive record of the 20th century’s blackest hours. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich offers an unparalleled and thrillingly told examination of how Adolf Hitler nearly succeeded in conquering the world. With millions of copies in print around the globe, it has attained the status of a vital and enduring classic.

Quanti conoscono la parola "Porrajmos"? Porrajmos nella lingua della maggior parte dei rom e dei sinti significa "divoramento" e indica lo sterminio che il Terzo Reich attuò nei loro confronti. Una persecuzione su base razziale che portò alla morte di oltre 500.000 persone. Nell'audiolibro "Porrajmos" abbiamo raccolto l'intensa testimonianza di Otto Rosenberg, un sinto tedesco nato a Berlino nel 1927. Già nel 1936, alla vigilia dei giochi olimpici di Berlino, Otto Rosenberg fu deportato nel lager di Marzhan.

All is fair in love and war. At least the Nazis thought so. They deployed sex like any other weapon in the service of the Third Reich. Al Camino examines many shocking cases, where brothels were hotbeds of bugging and blackmail, and pillow talk could topple nations.

«Questo libro l’ho pensato una sera di qualche anno fa, dopo un reportage realizzato a Taranto, che trovate tra le storie che ho scelto di raccontarvi. Me ne stavo in albergo, a chiedermi: dov’è finita la Costituzione? In quell’istante ho squadernato con la memoria le tante situazioni e persone che ho incontrato in vent’anni di giornalismo. Qui ne trovate alcune. Ciascuna è un frammento di una storia corale, quella dell’Italia repubblicana, che chiama in causa due parole: giustizia e popolo.

Uma pesquisa inédita, com base em documentos e entrevistas, sobre o período de Mengele no Brasil. A partir de sua experiência pessoal, Betina faz um minucioso trabalho de recuperação de memórias e de testemunhos, com entrevistas inéditas e propondo versões dos fatos até então desconhecidas. Ao reunir pontos de vista que vão desde um comandante do Mossad a pessoas que conviveram com Mengele no Brasil, a jornalista cria um quadro sobre a vida e a morte do nazista em nosso país.

Dawn on Sunday, June 22, 1941 saw the opening onslaughts of Operation Barbarossa as German forces stormed forward into the Soviet Union. Few of them were to survive the five long years of bitter struggle. A posting to the Eastern Front during the Second World War was rightly regarded with dread by the German soldiers. They saw epic battles such as Stalingrad and Kursk, and yet it was a daily war of attrition which ultimately proved fatal for Hitler's ambition and the German military machine.

Nel 1976 si è celebrato a Trieste un processo contro alcuni nazisti ritenuti responsabili dei crimini commessi nel lager della Risiera di San Sabba, un ex stabilimento per la pilatura del riso trasformato, durante l'occupazione tedesca della Venezia Giulia, in un campo di concentramento dotato di un forno crematorio. Non si conosce con precisione il numero delle persone che tra il 1944 e il 1945 vennero uccise e poi bruciate alla Risiera di San Sabba. Secondo la sentenza del processo furono oltre duemila.

Dopo le Leggi razziali del 1938, la famiglia Di Segni continua a vivere a Roma ma nel 1943 capisce che i rischi sono aumentati. Il figlio diciottenne Pacifico Franco viene messo al riparo sui tetti dell'Ambasciata di Francia con altri ragazzi. Lì resterà fino all'aprile del '44. Durante la clandestinità scrive un diario della guerra ispirato da quanto ascoltava su Radio Londra. Il diario è tratto da "Memoria violenta", a cura di Furio Colombo e Vittorio Pavoncello, edizioni All Around.

Malcolm Gladwell, author of New York Times best sellers including Talking to Strangers and host of the podcast Revisionist History, uses original interviews, archival footage, and his trademark insight to weave together the stories of a Dutch genius and his homemade computer, a band of brothers in Central Alabama, a British psychopath, and pyromaniacal chemists at Harvard. As listeners hear these stories unfurl, Gladwell examines one of the greatest moral challenges in modern American history.

Drawing on previously unpublished eyewitness accounts, prizewinning historian Donald L. Miller has written what critics are calling one of the most powerful accounts of warfare ever published. Here are the horror and heroism of World War II in the words of the men who fought it, the journalists who covered it, and the civilians who were caught in its fury. Miller gives us an up-close, deeply personal view of a war that was more savagely fought - and whose outcome was in greater doubt - than one might imagine. This is the war that Americans on the home front would have read about had they had access to previously censored testimony.

The sinking of the German battleship Bismarck - a masterpiece of engineering, well-armored with a main artillery of eight 15-inch guns - was one of the most dramatic events of World War II. She left the port of Gotenhafen for her first operation on the night of 18 May 1941, yet was almost immediately discovered by Norwegian resistance and Allied air reconnaissance. British battlecruiser Hood was quickly dispatched from Scapa Flow to intercept the Bismarck, together with new battleship Prince of Wales.

In the days between May 24th and 28th, 1940, the British War Cabinet held a historical debate over whether to negotiate with Hitler or to continue the war. In this magisterial work, John Lukacs demonstrates the decisive importance of those five days. Lukacs takes us hour by hour into the critical unfolding of events at 10 Downing Street, where Churchill, who had only been prime minister for a fortnight, painfully considered his war responsibilities.

It is said that the right man in the right place at the right time can mean the difference between victory and defeat. This is the dramatic story of 68 soldiers in the US Army's Second Ranger Battalion, Company D - "Dog Company" - who made that difference, time and again. America had many heroes in World War II; however, few can say that, but for them, the course of the war would have been very different. The right men, the right place, the right time - Dog Company.

In December 1937, in the capital of China, one of the most brutal massacres in the long annals of wartime barbarity occurred. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city of Nanking and within weeks not only looted and burned the defenseless city but systematically raped, tortured and murdered more than 300,000 Chinese civilians. Amazingly, the story of this atrocity- one of the worst in world history- continues to be denied by the Japanese government.

When Jacques Lusseyran was an eight-year-old Parisian schoolboy, he was blinded in an accident. He finished his schooling determined to participate in the world around him. In 1941, when he was seventeen, that world was Nazi-occupied France. Lusseyran formed a resistance group with fifty-two boys and used his heightened senses to recruit the best. Eventually, Lusseyran was arrested and sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp in a transport of two thousand resistance fighters.
