Dieses dem Buch zugrunde liegende schriftliche Material ist im strengen Sinn kein Tagebuch, trotzdem wird der Begriff übernommen, weil der Soldat Engelbert selbst von einem Tagebuch spricht. Das aufgefundeneTagebuch und die Briefe sind Geschichte zum anfassen und hinterlassen nach dem Lesen meist mehr Fragen als sie Antworten geben. So ist es auch dem Herausgeber mit dem Tagebuch von Engelbert ergangen. Dabei können Tagebücher viel über einen Menschen aussagen, wenn der Tagebuchschreiber sich an die Wahrheit hält und ehrlich mit sich selbst umgeht. Und da stellt sich die Frage?

Albert Speer – Hitlers Lieblingsarchitekt, späterer Rüstungsminister und enger Vertrauter des Diktators – gehört zu den rätselhaftesten Figuren des Dritten Reichs. Jahrzehntelang prägte er sein öffentliches Bild selbst: als verführter Künstler, unpolitischer Macher, der von den Verbrechen des Regimes nichts gewusst haben wollte. Heinrich Breloer, einer der renommiertesten deutschen Dokumentarfilmer, räumt mit diesem Mythos auf.

Hitler’s Inner Circle: Monsters and Yes-Men is a gripping and unflinching examination of the personalities who shaped the Third Reich from within.

As a Russian recruit in World War II, Ivan Makarov witnessed General Chuikov pull out his pistol and shoot their regimental commander as a traitor. That was on his first day at the front. Thrown into an open field to face German tanks and artillery fire, with only rifles and machine guns to defend themselves with, almost 2,000 men of his regiment were wiped out in only six days at the Eastern Front. At this rate, Ivan struggled to comprehend how he would survive the hundreds of battles that lay before him, with death seeming to be the only certainty.

'A triumph of imagination. Juliet Stevenson chronicles the terrible conditions in the concentration camps with an austere calm that makes the story hit the listener all the harder.

This book is the culmination of more than three decades of meticulous historiographic research on Nazi Germany by one of the period’s most distinguished historians. The volume brings together the most important and influential aspects of Ian Kershaw’s research on the Holocaust for the first time. The writings are arranged in three sections - Hitler and the Final Solution, popular opinion and the Jews in Nazi Germany, and the Final Solution in historiography - and Kershaw provides an introduction and a closing section on the uniqueness of Nazism.

Hailed as the most compelling biography of the German dictator yet written, Ian Kershaw's Hitler brings us closer than ever before to the heart of its subject's immense darkness. From his illegitimate birth in a small Austrian village to his fiery death in a bunker under the Reich chancellery in Berlin, Adolf Hitler left a murky trail, strewn with contradictory tales and overgrown with self-created myths. One truth prevails: the sheer scale of the evils that he unleashed on the world has made him a demonic figure without equal in the 20th century.

Международная команда историков на протяжении нескольких лет выясняла, что стоит за мифом о «Салоне Китти»–центре международного шпионажа, созданном нацистскими главарями на базе берлинского борделя средней руки. Кем была пресловутая Китти Шмидт–и почему ее «салон» продолжал работать и после войны? На что рассчитывали–и чего добились–Гейндрих и Шелленберг? Как островок «Веймарского Берлина» сохранился в гитлеровской Германии–и какие метаморфозы ему пришлось пережить?

« Il m'a fallu soixante ans pour pouvoir en parler, pour isoler cet enfer intérieur, pour pouvoir le voir de l'extérieur. Il est impossible de pouvoir oublier une expérience comme celle de l'Ebre mais pendant des années je l'ai oubliée. Ou peut-être l'ai-je cachée par peur. Ou pour me libérer inconsciemment du souvenir de l'horreur. Comme si quelque chose dans mon cerveau avait fermé une porte. Je ne peux pas l'expliquer, peut-être que j'avais honte de parler de ces choses.
