The Nazi Hydra in America
This book exposes how US plutocrats launched Hitler, then recouped Nazi assets to lay the post-war foundations of a modern police state. Fascists won WWII because they ran both sides. Lays bare the tenacious roots of US fascism from robber baron days to Reichstag fire to the WTC atrocity and "Homeland Security", with a blow-by-blow account of the fascist take-over of America's media.

Jet - The story of jet propulsion
Flying is today part of our life. We can sit in comfortable seats and reach nearly every destination around the world. Few passengers know that the engines one can see through the cabin window have been invented and built and tested just 85 years ago. At the beginning there were inventors, small engines and small aircraft, which have grown in the course of decades into big aircraft, powerful engines and mighty companies.The story of this development is highly fascinating and entertaining. Who wants to know more finds in this book a lot of informations and technical details. Never before a book with this range of inventors, jet engines, jet aircraft and jet companies has been published.
Richard Wagner and the Jews
It is well known that Richard Wagner, the renowned and controversial 19th century composer, exhibited intense anti-Semitism. The evidence is everywhere in his writings as well as in conversations his second wife recorded in her diaries. In his infamous essay "Judaism in Music," Wagner forever cemented his unpleasant reputation with his assertion that Jews were incapable of either creating or appreciating great art. Wagner's close ties with many talented Jews, then, are surprising. Most writers have dismissed these connections as cynical manipulations and rank hypocrisy. Examination of the original sources, however, reveals something different: unmistakeable, undeniable empathy and friendship...
Classic Harley-Davidson
Almost everyone knows the name and the product, but not as many know the history of Harley-Davidson, a company that started with just four men and a bevy of American spirit. Stocked with archival images and full-color photographs, Classic Harley-Davidson provides a comprehensive history of America's favorite motorcycle. Every era is featured, from 1903's motorized bicycle to the roadburners we know and love today. Combines Wagner's Classic Harley-Davidson 1903-1941 and Girdler's Harley Davidson Motorcycles from MBI's best-selling paperback Enthusiast Color Series into one value-priced hardcover book that makes a great gift and introduction to this legendary company and motorcycle.
Jet Web
The present book describes the development history of turbojet engines, mainly in the web-type triangle Great Britain (USA) - Germany - Switzerland from early beginnings in the 1920s up to the first practical usage in the 1950s, before the still unbroken, grand impact of aero propulsion technology on global air traffic started. interconnections are highlighted, including the considerable impact of axial-flow compressor design know-how of the Swiss/German company BBC Brown Boveri & Cie. on both sides. The author reveals significant undercurrents which led to a considerable exchange, and thus change in understanding of the technical-historical perspective, especially in the decisive years before WWII, and thus closes gaps in the unilateral views of this ground-breaking technical advancement. The old ‘Whittle vs. von Ohain Saga’ is not repeated in full, but addressed in sufficient detail to understand the considerably enlarged narrative scope.
