Book excerpt: Franz-Peter Weixler was known for his haunting photos, which he made as a war correspondent of the German Wehrmacht, about the shooting of the male inhabitants of the Cretan community Kondomarie. The affidavit which he submitted to the International Court of Justice in Nuremberg, against the main war criminals of the German Reich, also insistently describes what happened on that 2 June 1941. Before, during and after the war, Weixler produced almost 1000 stereoscopic images, which are stored in the entire width of the German Historical Museum. In many missions as a war correspondent Weixler often made pictures with the stereoscopic camera in addition to normal camera. He was also occasionally used at that time still rarely used color films. This book is intended to give a certain overview of the photographer's work to the interested reader. Unfortunately, for legal reasons, the reproduction of the stereoscopic images was only possible in a few cases, as they have already been published elsewhere.
Download or read book The Hill written by Robert Kershaw and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-09 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the critically acclaimed author of Dünkirchen 1940, this is a groundbreaking history of the epic three-day battle for Hill 107 that changed the course of the war in the Mediterranean. In this remarkable history, we discover each of the individuals whose actions determined the outcome of the battle for Hill 107, the key event that decided the campaign to capture the vitally strategic island of Crete in May 1941. All the events are narrated through the filter of these eyewitnesses. The Allied perspective is from the summit of Hill 107. We experience the fear and the adrenalin of a lowly platoon commander, Lieutenant Ed McAra, perilously positioned at the top of the hill, alongside the combat stress and command fatigue of the battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Leslie Andew. In contrast, the German view is looking up from below as they cling to the slopes while simultaneous dazzled by the morning glare and decimated by defensive fire. We join the regimental doctor, Dr Heinrich Neumann, as he assumes command of one battalion and leads a daring nighttime charge towards the summit. The Hill details what was felt, heard or seen throughout the battle for both attacker and defender. Drawing upon original combat reports, diary entries, letters and interviews, the battle is brought vividly to life. The narrative reads like a Shakespearean tragedy, the soldiers revealing their stories in and around the shadows of Hill 107.

For many, Operation Merkur was almost a magic word for the paratroopers' achievements. It was the beginning of a painful history for the Cretans. connected with the destruction of the capital Chania. The pictures of Franz-Peter Weixler also lead us to the struggles of the British and German forces, the long journey to Hora Sfakia, where the last troops tried to leave the island. But even the fateful images of the gruesome massacre of Kondomari remain unmentioned here. Rather, they should be a reminder.

Book Synopsis The Midnight Knock by : K.R. Malkani
Download or read book The Midnight Knock written by K.R. Malkani and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the author himself says, this is not a jail diary. Nor is it an account of the Emergency. It is rather a ‘side light’ on the Emergency. Malkani writes about his experience of it—of what he, as a detenu, ‘saw, heard, thought and felt’ in prison. He spent the twenty-one months in three prisons— Hissar, Rohtak and Tihar—where he met a variety of people, from criminals to top-notch politicians. This is a very human document about them—sometimes amusing, sometimes sad, sometimes traumatic. The many hours of solitude in prison gave the author the opportunity to deeply analyse the Hindu-Muslim problem, towards which he has offered new and hopeful insights. The book is sensitively written, full of intimate anecdotes, not without political insight, and makes very interesting reading. It offers not only a personal viewpoint, but a glimpse into the lives of all detenus.

Book Synopsis Tales of Royalty by : Elisabeth Wagner-Durand
Download or read book Tales of Royalty written by Elisabeth Wagner-Durand and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-07-20 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume sheds light on Ancient Near Eastern kingship by focusing on its constant urge for legitimation. Thus, it highlights specific aspects like royal building activities, warfare and wisdom and frames these into material and textual expressions that take the powerful form of narratives. The contributions made in this volume look for specific topoi of kingship and examine which shapes they took and why. The publication determines which narrative topoi have once been selected to legitimize kingship, which media have been chosen to transmit these narratives, and what kind of narrative strategies have been applied. To consider both, texts and images, in the same margin, the book is based on a dual approach: referring to certain narrative themes both philological and archaeological material will be presented. By joining diverse perspectives of scholars of material culture and texts and their various approaches the publication promises new and special insight into the connection of narration and legitimation in Mesopotamia. It reflects Ancient Near Eastern kingship and its narrative strategies from a interdisciplinary and transmedial point of view and gives new insights into the matter of royal legitimation.

Book Synopsis Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler by : Antony Cyril Sutton
Download or read book Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler written by Antony Cyril Sutton and published by CLAIRVIEW BOOKS. This book was released on 2012-12-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The contribution made by American capitalism to German war preparations can only be described as phenomenal. It was certainly crucial to German military capabilities... Not only was an influential sector of American business aware of the nature of Naziism, but for its own purposes aided Naziism wherever possible (and profitable) - with full knowledge that the probable outcome would be war involving Europe and the United States.’ Penetrating a cloak of falsehood, deception and duplicity, Professor Antony C. Sutton reveals one of the most remarkable but unreported facts of the Second World War: that key Wall Street banks and American businesses supported Hitler’s rise to power by financing and trading with Nazi Germany. Carefully tracing this closely guarded secret through original documents and eyewitness accounts, Sutton comes to the unsavoury conclusion that the catastrophic Second World War was extremely profitable for a select group of financial insiders. He presents a thoroughly documented account of the role played by J.P. Morgan, T.W. Lamont, the Rockefeller interests, General Electric Company, Standard Oil, National City Bank, Chase and Manhattan banks, Kuhn, Loeb and Company, General Motors, the Ford Motor Company, and scores of others in helping to prepare the bloodiest, most destructive war in history. This classic study, first published in 1976 - the third volume of a trilogy - is reproduced here in its original form. (The other volumes in the series study the 1917 Lenin-Trotsky Revolution in Russia and the 1933 election of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the United States.)
Book Synopsis Beyond Classical Narration by : Jan Alber
Download or read book Beyond Classical Narration written by Jan Alber and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays looks at two important manifestations of postclassical narratology, namely transmedial narratology on the one hand, and unnatural narratology on the other. The articles deal with films, graphic novels, computer games, web series, the performing arts, journalism, reality games, music, musicals, and the representation of impossibilities. The essays demonstrate how new media and genres as well as unnatural narratives challenge classical forms of narration in ways that call for the development of analytical tools and modelling systems that move beyond classical structuralist narratology. The articles thus contribute to the further development of both transmedial and unnatural narrative theory, two of the most important manifestations of postclassical narratology.
