Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The French countryside was dotted with obstacles and wooden crosses, which were symbols of the German occupation. The German army knew that the days of their comparatively idyllic existence were drawing to a close by 1944. #2 In the summer of 1940, there was no thought of an invasion in the minds of Germany’s soldiers basking in the glory of victory over their traditional foe. But as the German Army advanced into the Soviet Union in 1941, it began to realize that it needed to rest its troops. #3 Rundstedt was the OB West, and he was frustrated with the situation in France. He had no authority over the air and naval units, and Hitler and his closest advisers on the Wehrmacht High Command oversaw operations in the west. #4 The German occupation of France was not good for the discipline of the German soldier. The activities in Paris, which were severely restricted, led to a rise in attacks, rapes, assaults, and misdemeanours.
On-the-ground account of the opening campaign of World War II Told from the perspective of the Germans who conquered Poland Based on letters, diaries, official documents, histories, and newspapers At dawn on September 1, 1939, the Germans launched their land, air, and sea assault on Poland, sparking the great conflagration of World War II and shocking the world with the speed and ferocity of their blitzkrieg. With thundering panzers and screaming dive-bombers, they crushed the vital port of Danzig into submission, drove the Polish Air Force from the skies, and took Warsaw amid great bloodshed. After six weeks of brave resistance, the Poles surrendered, no match for the Nazi war machine.
Though he works with an omnivorous 8x10 camera, Richard Renaldi has the roving eye of a street photographer, always searching for the brief encounter, the fleeting moment when a stranger will open his or her life to him, and, consequently, to the viewer. Richard Renaldi's "Figure and Ground," drawn from more than seven years of work, presents portraits, landscapes and, most importantly, the portraits in situ that meld those two classic photographic genres, in which he embraces not only individuals but the environment that encompasses them. These images were made across the United States, and take in not only those who might seem traditionally American-a blonde carrying a Louis Vuitton bag through a Greyhound terminal, or a rodeo cowboy, arms akimbo, standing determinedly against an all-dirt horizon-but also a woman in a burqa and Timberland boots on a faded Newark street and a transgender girl working a fast-food counter under the sad-glamorous glow of fluorescent lighting. If there is truly a center to the changing American social landscape, it can be found here, in these precisely rendered portraits.
