Download or read book Outpost Berlin written by Harold Schwartz and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12-30 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: University student Helmut Wegner curses himself for his procrastination as he waits in the rain in the muddy woods for his Flchthelfer, the escape helpers. Twelve weeks earlier, prior to August 13, 1961, he could have strolled easily across the border separating East Berlin from the section occupied by the three Western allies. Now, crossing the border is a dangerous endeavor. But Wegner is far from the only man who seeks to escape. Outpost Berlin chronicles the tales of both successful and failed escape attempts over the Berlin Wall since its erection in 1961. Each chapter begins with a short historical background and description of the location, a dedication to an American or German who played a significant role in the defense of West Berlin, and a prologue detailing the implications that the incidents had for West Berlins future. Capturing the essence of the era, Outpost Berlin presents a historical look at the stories of American military intelligence officers, German escapees, and the escape helpers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising to 115 metres Berlin's Teufelsberg is not only one of Berlin's highest points, but also a place steeped in history. Berlin's university headquarters were to be based here under National Socialism, after the war it became the largest depot for post war rubble and later the winter sports, climbing and wine making centre of the city. A radar station was built on Teufelsberg and the Western allies listened in to the East from the top. The equipment has been abandoned since 1992 and Teufelsberg has succumb to vandalism and decay. No use has been found for the area despite numerous plans and attempts. This "lost place" in the inner city districts of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf has become a place of myths. This book tells the true story. Excerpt: The plans for the athletic development of the mountain had, however, always been public and once again demonstrated: Berliners were never shy about offering a stage even to basically meaningless things. Even the rubble of their destroyed city could be put to good use! But what does a real mountain need? First of all, one should be able to ski there in the winter, and children should be able to ride sleighs. ...

Download or read book Berlin written by David Clay Large and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2007-10-15 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the political history of the past century, no city has played a more prominent-though often disastrous-role than Berlin. At the same time, Berlin has also been a dynamic center of artistic and intellectual innovation. If Paris was the "Capital of the Nineteenth Century," Berlin was to become the signature city for the next hundred years. Once a symbol of modernity, in the Thirties it became associated with injustice and the abuse of power. After 1945, it became the iconic City of the Cold War. Since the fall of the Wall, Berlin has again come to represent humanity's aspirations for a new beginning, tempered by caution deriving from the traumas of the recent past. David Clay Large's definitive history of Berlin is framed by the two German unifications of 1871 and 1990. Between these two events several themes run like a thread through the city's history: a persistent inferiority complex; a distrust among many ordinary Germans, and the national leadership of the "unloved city's" electric atmosphere, fast tempo, and tradition of unruliness; its status as a magnet for immigrants, artists, intellectuals, and the young; the opening up of social, economic, and ethnic divisions as sharp as the one created by the Wall.
Book Synopsis United City, Divided Memories? by : Dirk Verheyen
Download or read book United City, Divided Memories? written by Dirk Verheyen and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2010-02-03 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United City, Divided Memories? focuses on the basic question of how Berlin today deals with three specific Cold War-era legacies: the presence of the four Great Powers, the East German Stasi, and the Berlin Wall. Dirk Verheyen looks at monuments, museums, and memorial sites as illustrations of Berlin's struggle to craft an effective shared identity that ties together its western and eastern halves. Verheyen's comprehensive and critical analysis is considered against the broader background of Germany's efforts at coming to grips with its dual twentieth-century totalitarian past. This book demonstrates that important elements of east-west contrast linger and complicate the city's efforts at crafting a more definitively future-oriented united identity. United City, Divided Memories? will stimulate debate among German studies scholars, as well as among those interested in German history and cultural studies.

Download or read book Doughboy City written by David G. Guerra and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-06 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Allied Occupation of Berlin (1945-1994), Doughboy City was where the US Army Infantryman, Specialist Dan Guerra and all US soldiers, based in West Berlin, went to hone their Urban Warfare skills and prepare for when the Soviets and the Warsaw Pact decide to make Khrushchev's Ultimatum of Berlin a reality. Doughboy City was a mock city with its own subway station, warehouses, apartments, and town hall. One foggy morning, the training turned deadly. The death of his friend was ruled a terrible accident but Specialist Dan Guerra does not buy it and cannot prove why or how or who did it. As the story unfolds, a suspect starts to emerge until it is undeniable but still without proof, Dan Guerra finds himself the target of the suspect's attempt to get rid of the only person that is stirring the pot and arousing suspicion. From out of the past, an unlikely duo changes everything for everyone. Doughboy City set in the days before the world would change forever, the fall of the Berlin Wall, November 9, 1989. Then again, in Berlin change is an everyday occurrence.
