August 1943. As World War II consumes much of the globe, Americans at home have no idea the extent of the horror their servicemen face. What they also don’t know is that Eleanor Roosevelt has boarded a military transport plane, heading to the Pacific theater on a mission to discover and report first hand accounts of the war. Anticipating familiar backlash from those who would prefer a prim and proper First Lady, as well as to help ensure her safety, Eleanor and the rest of the White House keep the journey a closely guarded secret.

Black Tulip locates the ambiguous truth about Erich Hartmann and so much of the German Wehrmacht in general: that many of these men were neither full-blown Nazis nor impeccable knights. They were complex, contradictory, and elusive. This book portrays a complex human rather than the heroic caricature we're used to, and it argues that the tidy, polished hero stories we've inherited about men like Hartmann say as much about those who've crafted them as they do about the heroes themselves.

Historien begynder på Korsika og slutter på Sankt Helena. Det er beretningen om den fattige korsikanske patriot, den passionerede kvindeelsker og ivrige brevskriver, der ville være forfatter eller videnskabsmand, men som i den franske revolutions virvar så sin chance og blev sin tids mægtigste kejser. Hvordan var det muligt? Hvad fik ham til for lidt mere end 200 år siden at sætte kejsertronen på sit hoved. Var det storhedsvanvid eller den logiske belønning for alle hans sejre? Herman Lindqvist fortæller fascinerende og medrivende den utrolige historie om Napoleon Bonaparte .

In seinen Visionen erschaute er unter anderem einen Dritten Weltkrieg, der offenbar durch eine furchtbare Aggression des radikalen Islam (vielleicht im Bündnis mit anderen despotischen Mächten) gegen den Westen ausgelöst wird. Dass er ein begnadeter Seher war, bewies Alois Irlmaier in seinem dramatischen Leben vielfach. Während des zweiten Weltkrieges konnte er beispielsweise auf paranormale Weise erkennen, ob vermisste Soldaten noch lebten oder tot waren, und in der Nachkriegszeit löste Irlmaier dank seiner Gabe eine ganze Reihe von Kriminalfällen, bei denen die Polizei im Dunklen tappte.

Germany's success in the Second World War was built upon its tank forces; however, many of its leading generals, with the notable exception of Heinz Guderian, are largely unknown. This biographical study of four German panzer army commanders serving on the Eastern Front is based upon their unpublished wartime letters to their wives. David Stahel offers a complete picture of the men conducting Hitler's war in the East, with an emphasis on the private fears and public pressures they operated under.

Hans opgave er at dokumentere, hvor langt tyskerne er nået med den såkaldte Atlantvold langs den jyske vestkyst.

For fotografen havner i en af de mest skelsættende måneder i den danske besættelseshistorie.
