LAST TIME EUROPE WASN'T READY TO FIGHT: 1/8: Brothers in Arms: One Legendary Tank Regiment's Bloody War from D-Day to VE-Day, by James Holland https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08YS123SZ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0 In the annals of World War II, certain groups of soldiers stand out, and among the most notable were the Sherwood Rangers. Originally a cavalry unit in the last days of horses in combat, whose officers were landed gentry leading men who largely worked for them, they were switched to the “mechanized cavalry” of tanks in 1942. Winning acclaim in the North African campaign, the Sherwood Rangers then spearheaded one of the D-Day landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944; led the way across France; were the first British troops to cross into Germany, and contributed mightily to Germany's surrender in May 1945. Inspired by Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers, the acclaimed WWII historian James Holland memorably profiles an extraordinary group of citizen soldiers constantly in harm's way. Their casualties were horrific, but their ranks immediately refilled. Informed by never-before-seen documents, letters, photographs, and other artifacts from Sherwood Rangers' families—an ongoing fraternity—and by his own deep knowledge of the war, Holland offers a uniquely intimate portrait of the war at ground level, introducing heretofore unknowns such as the Commanding Officer Stanley Christopherson, the squadron commander John Semken, Sergeant George Dring, and other memorable characters who helped the regiment become the single unit with the most battle honors of any ever in the British army. He weaves the Sherwood Rangers' exploits into the larger narrative and strategy of the war, and also brings fresh analysis to the tactics used. Following the Sherwood Rangers' brutal journey over the dramatic eleven months between D-Day and V-E Day, Holland presents a vivid and original perspective on the endgame of WWII in Europe. 1932 Herman Goering of NSDAP addresses Reichstag

Posiblemente a finales de agosto salga otro viaje para Normandía (plazas limitadas): viajeshistoriasbelicas@gmail.com El 22 de junio de 1944, el Ejército Rojo inició la Operación Bagration, con la que arrollaron todas las posiciones del Grupo de Ejércitos Norte y Centro Alemán. En apenas un mes, avanzaron más de 500 kilómetros partiendo desde el este de Minsk, y se situaron a muy cerca de Varsovia para el 21 de julio. Si caída la ciudad, todo el sistema logístico alemán colapsaría y sería el final para ellos. Solo un milagro podía salvar la ciudad, y fue concretamente el mariscal Walter Model quien lo hizo posible con un gran contraataque, utilizando la 4º, 19º División Panzer, la 5º SS Winking y la División Herman Goering. A continuación en este programa, veremos cómo fue posible.
On this edition of Parallax Views, independent military historian Philip W. Blood joins us to discuss his riveting micro-history of the violent Nazi occupation of Poland's Białowieźa Forest as detailed in his book Birds of Prey: Hitler's Luftwaffe, Ordinary Soldiers, and the Holocaust in Poland. In this tackling this microhistory Blood not only offers new insights into the nature of Germany security warfare, but also it relates to ideas about the mythology of the "Sacred Hunt" or "Code of the Hunt" in German culture. Moreover, Blood analyzes the Nazi activities in Białowieźa Forest in the context of the Third Reich's genocidal Holocaust to offer a fresh perspective on understand the atrocities of Hitler's German. In addition to all of this, he also reveals the shocking ways in which the German security warfare explored in Birds of Prey was utilized by the United States in the Korean and Vietnam wars. In the course of our conversation Dr. Blood and I discuss: - The way in which the Nazis essentially turned the Polish national park (Białowieźa Forest) into killing fields - Comparing and contrasting Birds of Prey with Barbara Ehrenreich's Blood Rites: Origins and History of the Passions of War; the lack of an honor code in Białowieźa Forest and the killing of Jews, Soviet Partisan, Belarusians, and Poles in the forest - How did ordinary soldier become cold-blood killers initiated into the "Code of the Hunt" - The point at which the military history of WWII meets the Holocaust - Settler-colonialism and the concept of Lebensraum - How depictions of German WWII activities and the Holocaust as depicted in books, films, TV, and culture differ from and pale in comparison to the realities uncovered in Blood's research - Blood's conversations with German WWII veterans; the harrowing nature of the violence and brutality of the German military during WWII - The myths of military history; the phenomena of military rapes and violence against women by both Allied and Axis forces in WWII; the reality of war and the politics of violence underpinning wars - Men as beast; the bestial nature of the violence that took place in the forest; Herman Goering, the Ogre of Rominten; Goering's beliefs about noble beasts - German romanticism, irrationalism, the dehumanization of Jews as animals, and the logic of National Socialist ideology - How the U.S. utilized the way German forces attacked the Soviet partisans in the Korea War and Vietnam War; U.S. protection of SS officials and U.S. studies of German records after WWII for utilization in wars; how the My Lai Massacre and the atrocities of war; figures into Blood's research; the ordinary soldier and the fight to survive - The value of taking a microhistory approach to military history - And more!

Białowieża i Solidarność – rodzinny punkt widzenia 3 Myśmy się tego trochę bali, ale nie za bardzo. Białowieża bardzo się ostatnio zmieniła. Nie ukrywam, że mnie to cieszy. Hm... Ujmując to elegancko – struktura społeczna także została dotknięta zmianami, jeszcze delikatnie, ale… czas jak zwykle jest po stronie rozwoju. Jedno się nie zmieniło: wieś od początku była odwiedzana przez ludzi, którzy decydowali od wielkich sprawach, chociażby z kronik Jana Długosza wiemy o wizytach Władysława Jagiełły, bywali kolejni królowie i carowie, car Aleksander II Aleksander III i jego syn - car Mikołaj II, a to przyjechał Herman Goering, a to towarzysz Gierek, a także współcześni politycy, decydenci i celebryci. Nie wymienię, bo to długa lista. Paradoksalnie – może i się rozmawiało o przysłowiowych losach świata, ale wieś – tego nie odczuwała. Przewrót Solidarnościowy, nie zmienił faktu, że nie było w Białowieży, żądnych wielkich nazwisk, legendarnych działaczy, ludzi, którzy mieliby potężną siłę sprawczą nawet w tym lokalnym wymiarze. Chociaż miejscowi działacze robili, co mogli. Żeby ustalić: co mogli - oddaję głos moim rodzicom.
The Night of the Long KnivesAfter Tom left Germany, Klaus fell into a depression. He felt as if he were at the bottom of a deep pit, and his friend had just levitated to safety and light. And around him, large pincers were sliding out of a crumbling wall.Tom had wondered about Klaus's relationship to Nazism. Klaus wondered this as well. He did not respect reason as an absolute, and so was deeply, tragically susceptible to passion. When reason falls, whoever screams the loudest will rise. It is an iron law.Klaus did not believe in the supremacy of objective reason, and so he had no choice but to take an anthropological and fate-based approach to his own society. What was ‘right' was whatever happened. Nothing could be opposed in the face of passion. How could he question passion? With what faculty would he oppose it? More passion? But Klaus was an intellectual, and not given to screaming fits. If he proved that a Nazi's reasoning was illogical, that meant nothing. Reason was not the essence of life. It was dry, analytic, illusory. It did not touch the heart of things. Only emotions were essential. Reason was an invention of man. Emotions were given by God, the World Spirit, the Essential Animal. Reason divided men. Only passion could unite. Reason was boring. Passion was pleasure! Human reason was limited, pointless. Individual emotions were the endless movements of the Collective Soul.The rejection of reason also sped up the decision-making process. Rather than get tied down into endless chattering debate – as in the Weimar Republic – the most passionate voice would always win the day. And, to be frank (and this was always understood implicitly), if arguments got out of hand, violence could always resolve matters. And why not? A man willing to maim and kill for a course of action was clearly the most passionate, the most committed to it. And if he won the day, then certainly the World Spirit was behind him. Might was right. Actually, ‘right' had ceased to exist. ‘Might' just was.Now when the terrors of competing tribes descend upon helpless humanity, all the oldest instincts come into play. When dangerous hordes roam the land, individuals begin casting about for a protective group. Klaus fervently hoped that it would not come to that. But things did not look good.On the night of January 30, 1933, endless columns of torch-bearing Nazi Stormtroopers marched through all the major cities of Germany. They had two main missions in the months that followed: show their might, and destroy the Fuhrer's enemies. They had pillaged the offices of the Socialist, Fascist, Nationalist and Communist parties, and gathered the names of all members. After that, it was open season. On February 28, the parliamentary Reichstag was set on fire. The Nazis used the event as an excuse for the most bloody persecutions. Herman Goering was in charge of the Prussian police, and he gave them the authority to shoot without consequences. He attached to the police thousands of young Nazis as Hilfspolizi – ‘assistant police' – and then pointed them at the Communists and Socialists. On March 2, Wilhelm Frick passed Schutzhaft – protective custody – which gave the police powers to imprison citizens without trial or cause, in the newly-formed concentration camps. Hindenburg – then still the titular head of state – suspended civil liberties after the Reichstag fire. Citizens no longer had freedom of the press, of speech, of association or protection from arbitrary arrest...

When President of the Reichbank and Economics Minister Hjalmar Schacht suggested slowing the pace of rearmament to Hitler in the mid 1930s, he was replaced by the ineffectual but loyal Herman Goering. A new policy to rearm Germany, the Four Year Plan was Hitler's subsequent attempt to finally address the seemingly intractable problems of Germany's war industries and economy.Explaining History is funded through advertising and donations.

Hermann Goering initiates “final solution” plan for Europe’s “Jewish question.” Under Nazi control, the Jews of Europe suffered increasing hardship. Many were enslaved and killed, but Hitler’s ultimate plan was to eliminate them altogether. On July 31, 1941, Hitler’s No. 2 man, Herman Goering, instructed Reinhard Heydrich, second in importance to Heinrich Himmler in the Nazi SS and known as "The Blond Beast" or "Hangman Heydrich”, to create and carry out a plan to do so. He called it the “final solution” of the “Jewish question” in the German sphere of influence in Europe. German ministries cooperated fully, uprooting and deporting Jews to extermination camps in the east. Before the war ended, the Germans had exterminated at least 13 million people. Of those, approximately six million were Jews, which was approximately 65% of Europe’s Jewish population at the time. Of those six million Jews, about 1.5 million were children.
