Das verschwindende Land - The Disappearing Countryside
Gedichte und Prosa für die Rettung unserer Heimat und Umwelt: Die Gedichte...verdienen es,die Zeit zu überdauern, um später einmal Zeugnis abzulegen, wie es war - damals, mit dem Wahnsinn der Heimatvertreibung, der Kirchenvernichtung, der Umweltzerstörung. Poems and Prose to save our homeland and environment: The poems...deserve being preserved to bear witness to what it was like then - the expulsion from homes, the demolition of churches, the destruction of the environment.

Arrival of Eagles
During World War Two a great many Luftwaffe aircraft arrived on the ground in the UK or its coastal waters, but, as with Rudolf Hess, not all of them through ïconventionalÍ combat circumstances. Some had got lost, others were brought by defectors; some were lured through electronic countermeasures by the RAF, others brought down in unusual combat circumstances. All manner of types appeared _ He111, Go145, Me110, Ju88, Me109 F and G, FW190, Do217 _ and all were of great interest to the RAF. In some cases aircraft were repaired and test flown, betraying vital and invaluable information. Distinguished author Andy Saunders examines a selection of such fascinating cases and draws upon his own research, interviews, official reports and eyewitness accounts to bring alive these truly unusual accounts, all richly illustrated with contemporary photographs.
To Defeat the Few
Over the past 80 years, histories of the Battle of Britain have consistently portrayed the feats of 'The Few' (as they were immortalized in Churchill's famous speech) as being responsible for the RAF's victory in the epic battle. However, this is only part of the story. The results of an air campaign cannot be measured in terms of territory captured, cities occupied or armies defeated, routed or annihilated. Successful air campaigns are those that achieve their intended aims or stated objectives. Victory in the Battle of Britain was determined by whether the Luftwaffe achieved its objectives. The Luftwaffe, of course, did not, and this detailed and rigorous study explains why. Analysing the ...
A Time of Tyrants
Trevor Royle examines Scotland's role in the Second World War from a wide range of perspectives. The country's geographical position gave it great strategic importance for importing war materiel and reinforcements, for conducting naval and aerial operations against the enemy and for training regular and specialist SOE and commando forces. Scotland also became a social melting pot with the arrival of Polish and eastern European refugees, whose presence added to the communal mix and assisted post-war reconstruction. In addition to the important military aspects - the exploits of the Army's renowned 15th Scottish and 51st Highland Divisions in Europe and North Africa and the role played by the ...
Die Aachen-Mallorca-Connection
Tobias Grundler, Mitarbeiter einer renommierten Aachener Anwaltskanzlei, soll im Auftrag eines Klienten ausgerechnet nach Mallorca fliegen und dort vor Ort Ermittlungen und Klientenbefragungen durchführen. Ein Oberstudienrat aus Aachen soll seine Frau ermordet haben. Er beteuert, es sei ein Unfall gewesen, was ihm die Polizei nicht glaubt. Einmal auf der Deutschen liebsten Urlaubsinsel asngekommen. kann Grundler sich dem Charme Mallorcas abseits vom Ballermann auf Dauer nicht entziehen. Aber leider bleibt es nicht bei ungetrübten Urlaubsfreuden. Die Entführung einer bekannten deutschen Künstlerin, die auf Mallorca lebt und arbeitet, ruft Grundlers ganzen detektivischen Spürsinn auf den Plan. Und das Beste ist, dass er auf diese Art und Weise Land und Leute kennenlernt, wie es sonst wohl nicht der Fall gewesen wäre.

Heinkel He 111
Considered to be the best known German bomber of the Second Wold War, the Heinkel He 111 served in every military front in the European theatre, having first being deployed in the Spanish Civil War in 1936. It then saw extensive service in the invasion of Poland, the Norweigan campaign and the invasion of the Low Countries and France in 1940. When the Luftwaffe was tasked with destroying Britain’s ability to resist invasion in 1940, the He 111 formed almost half of the Gruppen employed by Luftflotte 2 and Luftflotte 3. When the Luftwaffe switched to attacking cities and industrial sites the Heinkel 111 was widely employed, with raids against targets such as London, Coventry, Bristol, Birmingham and Liverpool. In this selection of unrivalled images collected over many years, the operations of this famous aircraft in the early years of the war – particularly the invasion of Poland, the Blitzkrieg in the West, the Battle of Britain and the very early stages of the Blitz – are portrayed and brought to life.

Eagles over the Sea 1935-1942
The arduous development of a dedicated naval air arm for Germany’s resurgent military was fraught with the kind of fierce inter-service rivalry that was rife throughout the turbulent history of the Third Reich. However, almost despite the odds, a small dedicated maritime strike force was assembled, germinating during the Spanish Civil War before being committed to action from the first days of the invasion of Poland. Concurrently, the operational Luftwaffe developed its own maritime units that would eventually subsume all of the Kriegsmarine-controlled formations as the war years progressed. This new book by the well-known author of German naval operations in WWII offers, for the first tim...
