Architects of Annihilation - Gotz Aly - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Architects of Annihilation - Gotz Aly - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

A groundbreaking study of the numerous academics and technocrats without whom Hitler''s crude anti-Semitism could never have been translated into a systematic policy of genocide. ARCHITECTS OF ANNIHILATION follows the activities of the demographers, economists, geographers and planners in the period between the disorderly excesses of the November 1938 pogrom and the fully-effective operation of the gas chambers at Auschwitz in summer 1942. The authors, both journalists and historians, argue that this group of intellectuals, often combining academic, civil service and Party functions, made an indispensable contribution to the planning and execution of the Final Solution. More than that, in the economic and demographic rationale of these experts, the Final Solution was only one element in a far-reaching programme of self-sufficiency which privileged the German Aryan population.

Passchendaele - Peter Hart - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Passchendaele - Peter Hart - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

A compelling account of the battle for Passchendaele from grand strategy at the highest levels right down to the experience of the ordinary infantrymen. In the autumn of 1917, after years of stalemate at Ypres, the British and French armies launched a massive offensive to take Passchendaele Ridge. Following an intensive bombardment the Allies began their attack, but the low ground between the lines had been churned into a quagmire, and the attack was literally bogged down.All surprise had been lost, and the German defence in depth was well organised. For the first time the Germans used mustard gas, while German planes flew low to strafe the British infantry with machine guns. After two and a half months the British finally took the ridge they had been aiming for, but at the cost of over 300,000 Allied lives. German losses in the offensive were estimated at 260,000.Based on the archival holdings at the Imperial War Museum, this book gathers together a wealth of material about this horrific offensive. A history to appeal to the scholar and the general reader alike.

38 Londres Street - Philippe Sands - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

''A globe-trotting legal thriller, a personal history and a twin portrait of a pair of mass murderers . . . indelible and enthralling'' PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE ''Phenomenal'' ANTONY BEEVOR ''Extraordinary . . . I read with open mouth and thumping heart'' STEPHEN FRY In 38 Londres Street , Philippe Sands blends personal memoir, historical detective work and gripping courtroom drama to probe a secret double story of mass murder, one that reveals a shocking thread that links the horrors of the 1940s with those of our own times. The house at 38 Londres Street is home to the legacies of two men whose personal stories span continents, nationalities and decades of atrocity: Augusto Pinochet, President of Chile, and Walther Rauff, a Nazi SS officer responsible for the use of gas vans.On the run from justice at the end of the Second World War, Rauff crosses the ocean to southern Chile. He settles in Punta Arenas, Patagonia, managing a king crab cannery at the end of the world. But there are whispers about this discreet and self-possessed German - rumours of a second career with Pinochet''s secret intelligence service, the dreaded DINA.In 1998, Pinochet is in a London medical clinic when the police enter his room and arrest him on charges of crimes against humanity and genocide. Philippe Sands is called to advise the former head of state on his claim to immunity, but will instead represent a human rights organisation against him. Years later, Sands makes a discovery while working on another book which reignites his interest in the case and leads to a decades-long investigation into Pinochet''s crimes, his unexpected connection to Rauff and the former Nazi''s possible connection to Chile''s disappeared.
