Monty's Men
Historian John Buckley offers a radical reappraisal of Great Britain’s fighting forces during World War Two, challenging the common belief that the British Army was no match for the forces of Hitler’s Germany. Following Britain’s military commanders and troops across the battlefields of Europe, from D-Day to VE-Day, from the Normandy beaches to Arnhem and the Rhine, and, ultimately, to the Baltic, Buckley’s provocative history demonstrates that the British Army was more than a match for the vaunted Nazi war machine.div /DIVdivThis fascinating revisionist study of the campaign to liberate Northern Europe in the war’s final years features a large cast of colorful unknowns and grand historical personages alike, including Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery and the prime minister, Sir Winston Churchill.

Obwohl die Ausrüstung einer ganzen Flotte misslang, fand dank der Migration von niederländischen Seefahrern ein Transfer von seemännischen Fähigkeiten und Kenntnissen nach Schweden statt. Von 1630 bis 1660 rekrutierte die schwedische Admiralität etwa 200 niederländische Offiziere und Steuerleute. Während der Expansion der schwedischen Schifffahrt navigierten diese Niederländer die Schiffe der Marine und Handelskompanien durch die unbekannten Gewässer außerhalb der Ostsee. Hierbei lernte eine neue Generation von schwedischen Offizieren die Kunst und Fertigkeiten der niederl...
