Hitler's Jewish Contacts

History As It Really Was

2021 || Paperback || Thomas Frederik || Brave New Books || met inkijkexemplaar

Hitler and the Nazis were defeated in 1945. Barely three years later, the world witnessed the birth of the State of Israel. The author of this book (who is an expert on the Third Reich) addresses the question of whether Hitler's actions accelerated the creation of a country of their own for the Jews. At one point during his reign, Hitler even concluded an agreement with the Zionists with the aim of encouraging Jews to emigrate to Palestine. Not only this fact is surprising, but also the fact ...

The Secret MiGs of Bornholm

the covert intelligence operation to examine the first Soviet Mig-15 fighters in the west

|| Paperback || Dick van der Aart || Brave New Books || met inkijkexemplaar

On 5 March 1953 a young Polish Air Force pilot defected with a brand-new Soviet MiG-15 jet fighter to the Danish island of Bornholm. It was the first MiG-15 in the hands of the West and this incident offered an unique opportunity for a detailed study of the much-feared Soviet combat aircraft. Denmark, afraid of the military power of Moscow, wanted to ship the precious jet back to Poland as soon as possible, but its NATO allies - especially the United States and Great Britain - demanded a ful...

Out of the blue

A Nuclear Attack on the Netherlands During the Cold War And the Consequences for the Rest of the World

2024 || Paperback || J. Windt || Brave New Books

In "Out of the blue", a scenario is sketched in which the Warsaw Pact unexpectedly invades the North German plain with the aim of reaching the North Sea coast with a conventional attack. The attack stalled and the Warsaw Pact resorted to a nuclear weapon to force a breakthrough, causing a nuclear explosion over the city of Utrecht. There is an appropriate response from the Western side, followed by summit talks between world leaders via the red telephone, which is unsatisfactory. It brings ab...

2015 || Paperback || Peter Doornekamp || Brave New Books || met inkijkexemplaar

On 19 February 1945, thousands of Marines landed on the black shores of a tiny volcanic island in the Pacific. As they struggled to crawl to safety, the Japanese opened fire with everything they had.

The fight that was supposed to take three days lasted well over a month, as the Japanese fought from within the island, and had been instructed to kill at least ten Americans before dying.

The battle for Iwo Jima was the only battle in which the Marine Corps suffered more casualties than the Ja...

War is Hell, but Damned Exciting / Druk 2

U.S. Remembrance of WWII in a Post-Veteran Era

2020 || Paperback || Sebastiaan Vonk || Brave New Books || met inkijkexemplaar

Even 75 years after the end of World War II, Hollywood productions and the war’s battlefield sites continue to draw large audiences. Over the years, representations of the war have changed from a focus on its glory to its suffering though. The ideal “lest we forget” has been extended to “never again.” By drawing on interviews with actors in the field of remembrance and U.S. remembrance tourists, using Band of Brothers (1993 and 2001) as a case study, this thesis will critically disc...
