Fascism, Aviation and Mythical Modernity
Flying and the pilot were significant metaphors of fascism's mythical modernity. Fernando Esposito traces the changing meanings of these highly charged symbols from the air show in Brescia, to the sky above the trenches of the First World War to the violent ideological clashes of the interwar period.
Edgar Julius Jung, Right-wing Enemy of the Nazis
Fills a serious gap in German historical literature by providing the first political biography of Jung, a leading figure of the anti-Nazi Right. By the time of his death, Edgar Julius Jung (1894-1934) was well known in Germany and Europe as one of the foremost ideologues of the political movement that called itself the Conservative Revolution and as a right-wing opponent of the Nazis. He was speechwriter for and confidant of Franz von Papen (first Hitler's predecessor as chancellor, then Hitler's vice-chancellor), which put him at the center of political events right up until the Nazi seizure of power. Considered by Baldur von Schirach and Goebbels to be one of the worst enemies of the Nazis...

Iron Man
This biography of a tenacious fighter pilot is “a powerful story about a fascinating man who seemed to know no fear” (Aerodrome). As one of the most successful German fighter pilots of World War I, Rudolf Berthold was victorious in forty-four aerial combats. He was also shot down or forced to land after six fights and survived crash landings in every case. Early in WWI, when only fighter pilots were awarded the Kingdom of Prussia’s (and de facto, Imperial Germany’s) highest bravery decoration, the Pour le Mérite, Berthold became the tenth recipient of the honor. Of that early cohort of air heroes, only Berthold and one other pilot survived the war. This book tells his remarkable sto...

Red Baron: The Life and Death of an Ace
The classic bestselling autobiography of the most successful fighter pilot of the First World War. This is the memoir of the undisputed top gun of World War I’s aerial war, Captain Manfred von Richthofen, who shot down 80 Allied aircraft. Originally published in German in late 1917 as Der Rote Kampfflieger (The Red Air Fighter), it was a runaway bestseller. The English language edition followed in 1918 without any official deal with the German publishers as it was argued that Richthofen’s accounts of combat against the Allied air force aircraft provided valuable intellilgence to use against the enemy. Originally a cavalryman, Manfred transferred to the Imperial German Army Air Service in...
"Die deutsche Frau trägt ein deutsches Korsett!"
Welche Auswirkungen hatte der Erste Weltkrieg auf die Gestaltung der Werbung, auf die Produktangebote und die Konsumgewohnheiten? Das vorliegende Buch untersucht diese Frage anhand der Anzeigenwerbung des Hanauer Anzeigers, einer der ältesten Tageszeitungen Deutschlands. Dabei zeigt sich, dass sich besonders in der Textil-, Lebensmittel- und Genussmittelwerbung in den Kriegsjahren 1914 bis 1918 ein deutlicher Wandel vollzogen hat. Die Auswertung wird durch zahlreiche originale Zeitungsanzeigen illustriert und vermittelt einen anschaulichen Eindruck von der Entwicklung der Anzeigenwerbung vor dem Hintergrund der wirtschaftlichen, gesellschaftlichen und sozialen Umwälzungen während des Ersten Weltkriegs.
Die Luftwaffe und ihre Traditionen
Die 6. Militärhistorische Tagung der Luftwaffe im März 2018 stand trotz ihres bereits weit im Vorfeld gewählten, doppelpoligen Themas Operation und Tradition aufgrund der 2017 sich entwickelnden Aktualität der Traditionsfrage ganz in deren Zeichen. Die wissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit beiden Themenfeldern ist die Grundlage für eine aktive Auseinandersetzung im Sinne der Historischen Bildung sowie die Herausbildung eines kritisch-reflektierten und zeitgemäßen Traditionsverständnis für den Staatsbürger in Uniform. Für die Luftwaffenangehörigen spielt die Kenntnis von Luftoperationen in der Vergangenheit naturgemäß eine wichtige Rolle. Schließlich gehören sie zur eigenen Geschichte deutscher Luftstreitkräfte und bildeten, komprimiert und zentriert in einzelnen Repräsentanten, über lange Jahrzehnte und zum Teil bis in die Gegenwart den Grundstock für die Auswahl von Namensgebern, die auch als Vorbilder für die Herausbildung von Teilstreitkraftspezifischen Traditionsvorstellungen benutzt wurden. Dieser über die Vorträge hinaus erweiterte Band versteht sich als Debattenbeitrag zur Frage, was die Traditionen der Luftwaffe heute und künftig sein sollen.
