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
A fascinating look at German planes that wound up in British territory during World War II, with photos. During the Second World War, a great many Luftwaffe aircraft arrived in the United Kingdom or its coastal waters, but, as with the famous flight of Rudolf Hess, not all of them through “conventional” combat circumstances. Some got lost; others were brought by defectors; some were lured through electronic countermeasures by the RAF; and others were brought down in unusual circumstances. However they arrived, all manner of types appeared—He 111, Go 145, Me 110, Ju 88, Me 109 F and G, Fw 190, Do 217—and all were of great interest to the RAF. In some cases, aircraft were repaired and test flown, betraying vital and invaluable information. In Arrival of Eagles, an author of numerous books on military aviation examines a selection of such intriguing cases and draws upon his own research, interviews, official reports, and eyewitness accounts to bring alive these truly unusual accounts, all richly illustrated with 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 ...
"Rheinisch"
Die Frage, was unter "rheinisch" oder gar unter einem "Rheinländer" zu verstehen ist, hat immer wieder neue und stets andere Antworten gefunden. Selbst der Begriff "Rheinland", den wir doch mit großer Selbstverständlichkeit verwenden, hat etwas ausgesprochen Undeutliches an sich. Ein wissenschaftliches Kolloquium, das am 16. und 17. Juni 2000 im Heinrich-Heine-Institut Düsseldorf stattfand, hat darum versucht, den Verwendungszusammenhängen des Wortes "rheinisch" aus unterschiedlichen Blickrichtungen nachzugehen. Die im vorliegenden Band versammelten Texte sind überarbeitete Fassungen der dort gehaltenen Vorträge. Im ersten Teil behandeln die Beiträge Themen zu Geschichte, Geographie, Sprache, Kirchengeschichte und zum Selbstverständnis der Region die Beiträge des zweiten Teils widmen sich einzelnen Aspekten der rheinischen Kunst-, Literatur- und Musikgeschichte. Abgeschlossen wird der Band durch einen Blick von außen - von den benachbarten Niederlanden.

Eagles Over the Sea
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...
