Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Germany and the Modern World The Committee of the Victoria League have asked me to write a short account of the place of Modern Germany in the Modern World, explaining how, in spite of the intellectual and other services which Germany has rendered to our present-day civilisation, her national policy has yet been poisoned by sinister and selfish aims. That policy has during recent years been a growing menace to the peace of Europe. It is now the open and desperate enemy of some ideas and principles which we of the British Empire hold dearer than life itself. Those who are responsible for German policy have thought it well to force on a life and death struggle between their ideals and ours. Like gamblers, they have staked all on the cast. They hoped, perhaps, that at this juncture we should stand aside. In that case they, the men responsible for German policy, planned first to crush France so mercilessly that she could never stand in their path again: next, to beat back the Russian invasion, and then patch up a peace with the Slavs: and finally to concentrate their stupendous power in an attack on the British Empire, bent upon breaking us and (by diplomatic pressure if possible, or, failing that, by force) lowering us into a state of vassalage to Berlin. But they miscalculated. Their reading of our character was wrong. They underrated our national spirit. They exaggerated the depth of our party divisions.

Book Synopsis Germany Must Perish! by : Theodore N. Kaufman
Download or read book Germany Must Perish! written by Theodore N. Kaufman and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This March 1941 book-written by a New Jersey Jewish-German émigré-caused a storm in Germany and America with its open advocacy of the physical extermination of all Germans and Germany itself. This was to be achieved through a process of mass sterilization, and the physical dismemberment of that country. Arguing that Nazism was in fact just another expression of militant Germanism, the author said that the Germans would never change and the only way to end the ongoing struggle was to end Germany and the German people. Because of Kaufman's claimed links to the policy advisors of the American president, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels used the book to help encourage Germans to fight to the last. Ironically, significant sections of Kaufman's book, despite being dismissed as the work of a loner, came true. At least 12 million Germans were expelled from their land following the end of the war, and their deportation became the single largest transfer of any population in modern European history, and one-third of German territory was ethnically cleansed of Germans and permanently seized. Although the sterilization plan was never implemented, the collapse in the German birth rate, predicted by the author, has occurred, and even this part of the plan seems set to become reality. As the author wrote: "Of course, after complete sterilization, there will cease to be a birth rate in Germany. At the normal death rate of 2 per cent per annum, German life will diminish at the rate of 1,500,000 yearly. Accordingly in the span of two generations that which cost millions of lives and centuries of useless effort, namely, the elimination of Germanism and its carriers, will have been an accomplished fact."

Book Synopsis With the Flagship in the South (Classic Reprint) by : C. E. W. Bean
Download or read book With the Flagship in the South (Classic Reprint) written by C. E. W. Bean and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the Flagship in the South I want the reader to come with me a voyage on a British warship; incidentally to Norfolk Island, Fiji, and Auckland; chiefly to look on at the incessant preparation that is going forward night and day on every British warship in every ocean for some vague future battle. I want him to watch the firing of guns, fighting of battles, the man uvres and evolutions which, though make-believe to-day, are carried through with enough of earnestness to give him a picture which he can get in no other way, a picture of the great fight which, Tsushima notwithstanding, has never yet been fought - an equal battle between two big modern fleets. Whether that battle is imminent none can say. Plenty, who will never fight it, are doing their best to make it so. Those who are bringing this Empire and Germany into war think - if ever they do think - that it will go easy for the Empire. Those who will fight it, officers and men too, are not in the least given over to that very foolish mistake. The Navy knows that the German is a magnificent sailor in magnificent ships; and the war would be desperate. Probably it would be utterly needless and wicked. There is trade rivalry. But what can fighting do for the trade except of third parties who do not fight? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Hitler's Willing Executioners by : Daniel Jonah Goldhagen
Download or read book Hitler's Willing Executioners written by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking international bestseller lays to rest many myths about the Holocaust: that Germans were ignorant of the mass destruction of Jews, that the killers were all SS men, and that those who slaughtered Jews did so reluctantly. Hitler's Willing Executioners provides conclusive evidence that the extermination of European Jewry engaged the energies and enthusiasm of tens of thousands of ordinary Germans. Goldhagen reconstructs the climate of "eliminationist anti-Semitism" that made Hitler's pursuit of his genocidal goals possible and the radical persecution of the Jews during the 1930s popular. Drawing on a wealth of unused archival materials, principally the testimony of the killers themselves, Goldhagen takes us into the killing fields where Germans voluntarily hunted Jews like animals, tortured them wantonly, and then posed cheerfully for snapshots with their victims. From mobile killing units, to the camps, to the death marches, Goldhagen shows how ordinary Germans, nurtured in a society where Jews were seen as unalterable evil and dangerous, willingly followed their beliefs to their logical conclusion. "Hitler's Willing Executioner's is an original, indeed brilliant contribution to the...literature on the Holocaust."--New York Review of Books "The most important book ever published about the Holocaust...Eloquently written, meticulously documented, impassioned...A model of moral and scholarly integrity."--Philadelphia Inquirer
Book Synopsis German Policy Before the War (Classic Reprint) by : G. W. Prothero
Download or read book German Policy Before the War (Classic Reprint) written by G. W. Prothero and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Policy Before the War The following pages are somewhat expanded, especially in the latter part, from notes of a lecture given before the Royal Historical Society in January last year. The main thesis which I endeavoured then to put before my audience, namely that the establishment of German influence in the Balkans and in the Turkish Empire is the fundamental object of German policy, appears to me to have received corroboration from recent events in south-eastern Europe. These events are not to be regarded as some have regarded them, as afterthoughts, or as the desperate efforts of a Power thwarted in other directions on the contrary they are incidents in the execution of a plan conceived long ago, to which the crushing, or - ii that proved impossible - the maim ing, of France and Russia was but the necessary preliminary step. I desire to express my gratitude to Mr. Lucien Wolf for valuable assistance given me in regard to the last three chapters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Germans on the Somme But the months passed, and Verdun still held out above piles of German corpses on its slopes, . And in June Germany looked East and saw a great menace. The Russian offensive was becoming violent. German generals on the Russian fronts sent desperate messages for help. Send us more men they said and from the Western front four divisions containing 39 battalions were sent to them. They must have been sent grudgingly, for now another menace threatened the enemy, and it was on the Western side. The British Armies were getting ready to strike. In spite of Verdun, France still had men enough - withdrawn from a part of the line in which they had been relieved by the British - to co-operate in a new attack. It was our offensive that the German Command feared most, for they had no exact knowledge of our strength or of the quality of our new troops. They knew that our Army had grown prodigiously since the assault on Loos, ' nearly a year before. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Last Battle written by Cornelius Ryan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-02-16 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic account of the final offensive against Hitler’s Third Reich. The Battle for Berlin was the culminating struggle of World War II in the European theater, the last offensive against Hitler’s Third Reich, which devastated one of Europe’s historic capitals and marked the final defeat of Nazi Germany. It was also one of the war’s bloodiest and most pivotal battles, whose outcome would shape international politics for decades to come. The Last Battle is Cornelius Ryan’s compelling account of this final battle, a story of brutal extremes, of stunning military triumph alongside the stark conditions that the civilians of Berlin experienced in the face of the Allied assault. As always, Ryan delves beneath the military and political forces that were dictating events to explore the more immediate imperatives of survival, where, as the author describes it, “to eat had become more important than to love, to burrow more dignified than to fight, to exist more militarily correct than to win.” The Last Battle is the story of ordinary people, both soldiers and civilians, caught up in the despair, frustration, and terror of defeat. It is history at its best, a masterful illumination of the effects of war on the lives of individuals, and one of the enduring works on World War II.
Book Synopsis Greeks, Romans, Germans by : Johann Chapoutot
Download or read book Greeks, Romans, Germans written by Johann Chapoutot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about the conditions that made possible Hitler's rise and the Nazi takeover of Germany, but when we tell the story of the National Socialist Party, should we not also speak of Julius Caesar and Pericles? Greeks, Romans, Germans argues that to fully understand the racist, violent end of the Nazi regime, we must examine its appropriation of the heroes and lessons of the ancient world. When Hitler told the assembled masses that they were a people with no past, he meant that they had no past following their humiliation in World War I of which to be proud. The Nazis' constant use of classical antiquity—in official speeches, film, state architecture, the press, and state-sponsored festivities—conferred on them the prestige and heritage of Greece and Rome that the modern German people so desperately needed. At the same time, the lessons of antiquity served as a warning: Greece and Rome fell because they were incapable of protecting the purity of their blood against mixing and infiltration. To regain their rightful place in the world, the Nazis had to make all-out war on Germany's enemies, within and without.

This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treitschke's History of Germany in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 7 The situation had indeed become desperate when an ardent patriot like Emanuel Geibel, the poet who wrote, and doubtless believed, that through the German character the world will be made whole, had now to admit that Germany is sick unto death, and must be blooded. Long before this a moderate man like the historian Niebuhr, while landing the past utility of unlimited monarchy, had declared his conviction that it was no longer sustained by popular faith, or conformable to the conditions and needs of the time. He was only one of many contemporary representatives of learning who took sides, for or against, on the burning question of constitutional reform. It was at this time that the German professor made his first systematic appearance in political controversy. The constitutional movement and the first schleswig-holstein dispute of 1846-50 together drew many occupants of chairs of history in particular into public life, and from that time forward until the present day the German professor has continued to divide his interest between the study and the political arena. The Frankfort National Assembly of 1848-9 was so liberally leavened by academic teachers that it has ever since been known as the Professors' Parliament. The national unity movement in all its later phases owed much to these men; and they were largely represented in the early Diets of the new Empire.

Download or read book Behind Enemy Lines written by Marthe Cohn and published by Crown. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[T]he amazing story of a woman who lived through one of the worst times in human history, losing family members to the Nazis but surviving with her spirit and integrity intact.” —Publishers Weekly Marthe Cohn was a young Jewish woman living just across the German border in France when Hitler rose to power. Her family sheltered Jews fleeing the Nazis, including Jewish children sent away by their terrified parents. But soon her homeland was also under Nazi rule. As the Nazi occupation escalated, Marthe’s sister was arrested and sent to Auschwitz and the rest of her family was forced to flee to the south of France. Always a fighter, Marthe joined the French Army and became a member of the intelligence service of the French First Army. Marthe, using her perfect German accent and blond hair to pose as a young German nurse who was desperately trying to obtain word of a fictional fiancé, would slip behind enemy lines to retrieve inside information about Nazi troop movements. By traveling throughout the countryside and approaching troops sympathetic to her plight--risking death every time she did so--she learned where they were going next and was able to alert Allied commanders. When, at the age of eighty, Marthe Cohn was awarded France’s highest military honor, the Médaille Militaire, not even her children knew to what extent this modest woman had helped defeat the Nazi empire. At its heart, this remarkable memoir is the tale of an ordinary human being who, under extraordinary circumstances, became the hero her country needed her to be.
