 Hitler and the Nazi Darwinian Worldview: How the Nazi Eugenic Crusade for a Superior Race Caused the Greatest Holocaust in World History 
 Author: Jerry Bergman Hitler and the Nazi Darwinian Worldview: How the Nazi Eugenic Crusade for a Superior Race Caused the Greatest Holocaust in World History Joshua Press 2012 Format: epub, pdf(conv.) Size: 2.7 Mb, 5 Mb Language: English This book takes a fresh look at Germany's most influential Nazi leaders, examining their backgrounds, education and convictions. It provides compelling evidence that the rising influence of Darwinism, eugenics and race theory in early-twentieth century society set the foundation for the Nazi pursuit of engineering a German "master race"-and exterminating European Jews, Gypsies, Blacks, most Slavs and the Christian religion in the ensuing madness of the Holocaust of World War II. The effect of social Darwinism, eugenics and anti-Semitism, and their relative acceptance in the scientific and medical communities of Germany and many other countries worldwide, opened the door to mass murder, medical experimentation and military conquest. This title examines the roots of Nazi ideology and unmasks the Darwinian "survival of the fittest" theory behind it.

 Luftwaffe: A Pictorial History of the German Air Force of WWII Author: Christopher Ailsby Christopher Ailsby 2014 Pages: 475 Language: English Format: EPUB Size: 11 MB The Luftwaffe played an integral part in Hitler’s Blitzkrieg strategy in the early years of the Second World War, and in later years fought a valiant but ultimately hopeless campaign to prevent Allied aircraft bombing German factories and cities, and wreaking havoc on German forces on the ground.

With 400 black and white and coloured photographs together with drawings and paintings, the book tells the full, dramatic story of the German Air Force during the Second World War. This book also includes a brief look at the birth of flight from its inception to its coming of age in the First World War. A glimpse of the Luftwaffe first blooding with rare images of German military aircraft and personnel perfecting the art of Blitzkrieg while fighting for the Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War, just prior to the Second World War.

Germany and the Second World War - Vol. VII - The Strategic Air War in Europe and the War in the West and East Asia, 1943-1945
 Author: Horst Boog Germany and the Second World War - Vol. VII - The Strategic Air War in Europe and the War in the West and East Asia, 1943-1945 Clarendon Press 2006 Format: PDF Pages: 931 Language: English Size: 13 MB By the spring of 1943, after the defeat at Stalingrad, the writing was on the wall. But while commanders close to the troops on Germany's various fronts were beginning to read it, those at the top were resolutely looking the other way. This seventh volume in the magisterial 10-volume series from the Militärgeschichtliches Forschungsamt [Research Institute for Military History] shows both Germany and her Japanese ally on the defensive, from 1943 into early 1945. It looks in depth at the strategic air war over the Reich and the mounting toll taken in the Battles of the Ruhr, Hamburg, and Berlin, and at the "Battle of the Radar Sets" so central to them all. The collapse of the Luftwaffe in its retaliatory role led to hopes being pinned on the revolutionary V-weapons, whose dramatic but ultimately fruitless achievements are chronicled.
The Thousand Plane Raid: the Story of the First Massive Air Raid-1000 Bombers Against the City of Cologne
 Author: Ralph Barker The Thousand Plane Raid: the Story of the First Massive Air Raid-1000 Bombers Against the City of Cologne Ballantine Books 1966 Format: PDF Pages: 308 Language: English Size: 21.5 MB This is the story of a momentous and dramatic turning point in the history of World War II. At a time when bombing attacks rarely included more than 100 planes — with heavy losses and negligible damage to the enemy—few men believed that air power could ever be a massive striking force, and pressure was on Churchill to use bombers piecemeal in support of land and sea campaigns. Against this background, the R. A. F. Bomber Command launched the greatest single raid yet seen—1,046 bombers. The target was the German city of Cologne— and the stakes were all or nothing !

Leopard's Guide: The Tiger I Tank
 Author: Marcus Durden Leopard's Guide: The Tiger I Tank Dr Marcus Durden 2013 Format: EPUB + PDF (conv) Size: 5,8 МБ + 10,0 МБ Language: English Pages: 272 The Tiger I tank, also known as the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. H, was Germany’s penultimate heavy tank for most of World War II; and it shocked the Allied and Soviet armies when they first encountered it. The Tiger battled fast moving Shermans in the desert mountains of North Africa, hordes of T-34s on the Russian tundra, and stout British Churchill tanks in the hedgerows of Normandy; all the while dealing with chronic shortages of fuel and spare parts. However, the battlefield is not the only part of the story of the Tiger tank; for in a total war the factory floor is as important as the front-lines. The Tiger had many flaws that ultimately made it a poor choice for this kind of warfare; as it’s prohibitive cost represented not just wasted resources and man-hours; but also wasted opportunities to invest in better air cover or more economical land platforms such as the Panther or the Stug. This book aims to look at the big picture in regards to the Tiger tank; from the evolution of heavy tank doctrine in the blitzkrieg theory (as influenced by the Spanish Civil War) to the German assembly methods that were thankfully unprepared to churn out these armored behemoths. In addition time will also be spent on the Soviet T-34 tank as it is important to understand the primary opponent of the Tiger to know why the designers made the decisions that they did. Numerous photos throughout the book, from all sides, help fully illustrate the impact the Tiger had; and why it was inevitably defeated by the Allies.

If you were to be allowed to read only one account of the history of the Second World War, then it should be Colonel Bauer 's.
The Last Battle: When U.S. and German Soldiers Joined Forces in the Waning Hours of World War II in Europe
 Author: Stephen Harding The Last Battle: When U.S. and German Soldiers Joined Forces in the Waning Hours of World War II in Europe Da Capo Press 2013 ISBN: 0306822962 Format: EPUB Size: 3,5 МБ Language: English Pages: 256 May, 1945. Hitler was dead, the Third Reich was little more than smoking rubble, and no GI wanted to be the last man killed in action against the Nazis. But for cigar-chewing, rough-talking, hard-drinking and hard-charging Lieutenant Jack Lee and his men, there was one more mission: rescue fourteen prominent French prisoners held in an SS-guarded castle high in the Alps. It was a dangerous mission, but Lee had help - a German Wehrmacht unit had volunteered to join the fight. Based on official American, German, and French histories, personal memoirs and author interviews, "The Last Battle" is the nearly unbelievable story of the most improbable battle of World War II - a tale of unlikely allies, bravery and cowardice, and desperate combat between implacable enemies.

Heroes or Traitors - The German Replacement Army, the July Plot, and Adolf Hitler
 Author: Walter S. Dunn Heroes or Traitors - The German Replacement Army, the July Plot, and Adolf Hitler Praeger 2003 Format: PDF Pages: 208 Language: English Size: 27 MB A riveting account of the conspirators who plotted to kill Hitler in July 1944, and the methods they used to keep a half million men from the battlefields of France and Russia.

Eisenhower - A Soldier's Life
 Author: Carlo D'Este Eisenhower - A Soldier's Life Henry Holt & Company 2002 Format: PDF Pages: 888 Language: English Size: 146.5 MB In the weeks leading up to D-Day, Dwight D. Eisenhower seethed with nervous energy. He had not expected his military career to bring him to this moment. The son of pacifists, Ike graduated from high school more likely to teach history than to make it. Casting new light on this profound evolution, Eisenhower chronicles the unlikely, dramatic rise of the supreme Allied commander. Beginning with the lasting effect of Eisenhower's impoverished youth, bestselling biographer Carlo D'Este follows his subject through West Point and a sometimes troubled marriage; toil under MacArthur in the Philippines during the 1930s; the inner sanctums of the War Department; the general's painful North African apprenticeship; and, finally, the dramatic events leading to the Allied victory in May 1945. Exposing for the first time numerous myths that have surrounded the war hero and his family (such as his romance with his wartime driver, Kay Summersby), D'Este also probes Eisenhower's famous clashes with his American peers and the British chiefs of staff, as well as his relations with legendary figures, including Winston Churchill and George S. Patton. Unlike other biographies of the general, Eisenhower captures Ike's true character, from his youth to the pinnacle of his career and afterward.
