Dispossession
This collection of essays by a range of international, multidisciplinary scholars explores the financial history, social significance, and cultural meanings of the theft, starting in 1933, of assets owned by German Jews. Despite the fraught topic and the ongoing legal discussions, the subject has not received much scholarly attention until now. This volume offers a much needed contribution to our understanding of the history of the period and the acts. The essays examine the confiscatory taxation of Jewish property, the looting of art and confiscation of gold, the role of German freight forwarders in property theft, salesmen and dispossession in the retail world, theft from the elderly, and the complicity of the banking industry, as well as the reach of the practice beyond German borders.
Meeting of Generals
D-Day Normandy, 1944. Twenty thousand, five hundred strong, the 12th Waffen-ss Hitler Youth Division marched into battle against Allied Forces. They were the last cream of the German youth, seventeen- and eighteen-year-old lads trained and led by a cadre of battle-hardened officers and NCOs who had survived four years of war in Europe and on the Russian front. With only a year of training, they were nevertheless ferocious fighters. At one critical point in the battle the depleted 12th ss Division fought three Canadian and three British divisions to a standstill.

Nazilager
1943— Obersturmbannführer Lt. Colonel Carl von Glasow and his fellow battle-weary officers of Rommel’s 15th Panzer Division, Afrika Corps, have endured the humiliation of surrendering to the Allies in Tunisia. Resigned to riding out the war in a North African prisoner of war camp they are surprised to learn they are being shipped instead to a U.S. Army POW camp in America. Nothing prepares them for the vivid contrast between the burning sands of the Tunisian desert and the murderous tank wars they waged there and the small, peaceful and idyllic Georgia coastal island town of Sorrel Island. During the summer the population swells as mainlanders from nearby Savannah alight from the daily ...
Legio
“I proudly present you the Greatest Show on Earth,” said Maurice, the swindler, the failed illusionist, the alcoholic, “and the price for a ticket is set to one million British pounds....” “We humans are so unique that it's a wonder that we are not constantly wondering about why we are as we are,” said the guide. Africa, round 1920: Hector Fabry, the great adventurer, is dying from malaria. A strange figure kneels down next to him and puts his hand on his forehead. The next moment Hector is alive and well! The strange man who saved his life is following him now — Hector gives him a name: Okapi. And one has ever seen an odd man like Okapi before. This strange man needs help. He is from another place in time and he is suffering from a deadly disease. Only Hector can help him — he has to travel back in time, to legendary Legio, and come back with the right medicine to save Okapi. And so Hector ends up in Legio, 10.000 years BC, and must try to survive in this crazy civilization...
