Munich Re
"Reinsurance has to be international in accordance with its nature." This is the well-known viewpoint of Carl von Thieme, one of the founders of Munich Re, who also served as its general director for many years. Thus, it was not a coincidence that the company rose to become the world market leader rather quickly after its founding in 1880. In the following period, Munich Re stayed on top or was occasionally second to Swiss Re. Nonetheless, the broader public does not know much about the company. Johannes Bähr and Christopher Kopper now present the first history of the reinsurer from its beginnings into the 1980s. Few companies have risen to become world market leaders as quickly as Munich R...
Mein Kampf
Madman, tyrant, animal—history has given Adolf Hitler many names. In Mein Kampf (My Struggle), often called the Nazi bible, Hitler describes his life, frustrations, ideals, and dreams. Born to an impoverished couple in a small town in Austria, the young Adolf grew up with the fervent desire to become a painter. The death of his parents and outright rejection from art schools in Vienna forced him into underpaid work as a laborer. During the First World War, Hitler served in the infantry and was decorated for bravery. After the war, he became actively involved with socialist political groups and quickly rose to power, establishing himself as Chairman of the National Socialist German Worker's...

The Third Reich
In this book Tony Le Tissier (author of Berlin Then and Now) traces the rise of Hitler, the Nazi Party and its ramifications, together with its deeds and accomplishments, during the twelve years that the Third Reich existed within today’s boundaries of the Federal Republics of Germany and Austria. The subjects covered include the homes — or sites of them — of the dramatis personnae; the Nazi legends of their martyrs; the sites of the former Third Reich shrines at the Obersalzberg; in Munich; Nuremberg; Bayreuth, and in Berlin; the Hitler Youth schools and the Party colleges; the ‘euthanasia’ killing centers; the concentration camps, and much much more. Tony then follows the progress of Hitler’s war: from the attack on Poland on September 1, 1939 to defeat in Berlin and the final round-up at Flensburg in May 1945. A final chapter covers the de-Nazification of Germany, the whole volume being illustrated by ‘then and now’ comparison photographs which are the central theme of After the Battle.
Mittelständische Unternehmer im Nationalsozialismus
Wie verhielten sich mittelständische Unternehmer im Dritten Reich? Profitierten sie, wie oft gesagt wird, vom Nationalsozialismus und unterstützten ihn tatkräftig? Am Beispiel der baden- und württembergischen Schuh- und Lederindustrie geht die Autorin diesen Fragen nach. Da die Betriebe stark von Im- und Exporten abhängig waren, hatten die Eingriffe der NS-Planungsbehörden oft existenzbedrohende Folgen. Beide Branchen, in denen Juden überdurchschnittlich repräsentiert waren, waren in extrem hohem Maße der sogenannten Arisierung ausgesetzt. Etliche Unternehmer beider Branchen verweigerten die Umsetzung antijüdischer Maßnahmen, selbst wenn dies der betrieblichen Entwicklung schadete...
