On the 20th July 1944, a bomb hidden in a briefcase exploded under a large table over which Adolf Hitler was examining maps of  the Eastern Front. The man who had planted the device, Claus von Stauffenberg, had left just before the explosion to initiate the operation that he hoped would lead to the overthrow of the Nazi regime. The plan failed, and Hitler would survive for another 9 months before his suicide on 30th April 1945. Was this the closest Hitler came to death? What about the November 8, 1939 when Georg Elser so very nearly succeeded where Stauffenberg would fail more than four years later. And what about Allied attempts - Operation Foxley by the British, and then the very strange idea from the American OSS? Roger covers all these in the first part of our series on the 80th anniversary of the July plot. Part Two continues on Saturday with Valkyrie, the 2008 film starring Tom Cruise.

About Edward Cahill Edward Cahill writes fiction and teaches English literature at Fordham University in New York City.   About Disorderly Men Three gay men in pre-Stonewall New York City find their fates thrown together in the police raid of a Village bar. Roger Moorhouse is a Wall Street banker and Westchester family man with a preciously guarded secret. As the shouting begins and flashlights blaze in his face, the life he's carefully curated over the years―a fancy new office overlooking lower Broadway, a house in Beechmont Woods, his wife and children―is about to come crashing down around him. Columbia literature professor Julian Prince lives a comparatively uncloseted life when he finds his first committed relationship tested to its limits. How could he explain to Gus, a fearless young artist, that he couldn't stay with him that weekend because the woman who was still technically Julian's fiancée would be visiting? But when Gus is struck unconscious by a police baton, Julian comes out of hiding to protect him, even if exposure means losing everything. For Danny Duffy, an Irish kid from the Bronx with a sassy mouth and a diverse group of friends, the raid is a galvanizing, Spartacus moment. Danny doesn't have too much left to lose; his family has just disowned him. But once his name appears in the newspaper, he'll be fired from his job at Sloan's Supermarket, where he's risen to assistant manager of produce, and begin a journey that veers between political enlightenment and violent revenge. The three men find themselves in a police wagon together, their hidden lives threatened to be revealed to the world. Blackmail, a private investigator, Gus's disappearance, and Danny's quest for retribution propel Disorderly Men to its piercing conclusion, as each man meets the boundaries of his own fear, love, and shame. The stakes for each are different, but all of them confront a fundamental question: How much happiness is he allowed to have . . . and what share of it will he lay claim to? _______________________________________________________________ One easy way to support this show is to rate and review Read Between the Lines wherever you listen to our podcast.  Those ratings really help us and help others find our show.

Between 1940 and 1943, Polish diplomats based in Bern, Switzerland, engaged in a remarkable – and until now, almost completely untold – humanitarian operation. This operation was one of the largest actions to aid Jews of the entire war and far eclipsed the better-known efforts of Oskar Schindler. In concert with two Jewish activists, these diplomats masterminded a systematic program of forging documents for Latin American countries that were smuggled into occupied Europe, in an attempt to save the lives of thousands of Jews facing extermination in the Holocaust.Today's guest is Roger Moorhouse, author of “The Forgers: The Forgotten Story of the Holocaust's Most Audacious Rescue Operation.” We look at the heroism of a group of ordinary men whose actions were part of a wider story of the Polish Underground resistance.

Today I sit down with historian Roger Moorhouse and discuss his most recent work: The Forgers: The Forgotten Story of the Holocaust's Most Audacious Rescue Operation. Between 1940 and 1943, a group of Polish diplomats in Switzerland engaged in a wholly remarkable—and until now, completely unknown—humanitarian operation. In concert with Jewish activists, they masterminded a systematic program of forging passports and identity documents for Latin American countries, which were then smuggled into German-occupied Europe to save the lives of thousands of Jews facing extermination in the Holocaust.

Beginning in 1940 a group of Polish diplomats based in Bern, Switzerland, orchestrated a program of forging passports and identity documents from Latin American countries. These were then smuggled into Nazi-occupied countries, where they were used to save thousands of Jews from the Holocaust. When the Ładoś Group–named after its leader, Aleksander Ładoś, the Polish ambassador to Switzerland–ended its activities in 1943 it had saved possibly as many as 10,000 people from extermination, making it one of the largest conspiracies on behalf of the survival of the European Jews.  Roger Moorhouse describes the Lados Group and its activities in his new book The Forgers: The Forgotten Story of the Holocaust's Most Audacious Rescue Operation. His most recent book was Poland 1939: The Outbreak of World War II (which won the Polish Foreign Ministry History Prize). He is also the author of Berlin at War (shortlisted for the Hessell-Tiltman Prize), and The Devils' Alliance.   He is a visiting professor at the College of Europe in Warsaw. For Further Information As mentioned in the podcast, Episode 273 was an exhaustive examination of the life of Josef Pilsudski: father of modern Poland, socialist, Siberian exile, civilian, military thinker, bank robber, master diplomat, and dictator. Also a friend of the podcast, or so we hope. Some common terrain was also discussed in Episode 317, about the village of Oberstdorf in the Allgauer Alps.

: The Forgotten Story of the Holocaust's Most Audacious Rescue Operation...with TRE's Giles Brown

In August 1939 the Nazi and Soviet regimes signed their non-aggression pact and the world was stunned. Within days, Poland had been invaded by Germany and Russia, and there then began 22 months of an alliance between Hitler and Stalin. Roger Moorhouse, author of The Devils' Alliance, joins me to discuss the negotiations, the reasoning behind the treaty, and the effects of it. We also discuss the lessons for today's conflict in Ukraine.Roger Moorhouse LinksThe Devils' Alliance Hitler's Pact with Stalin, 1939-1941First to Fight: The Polish War 1939The Katyn MuseumThe film, KatyńRoger on TwitterAspects of History LinksOllie on TwitterInstagramAspects of History Home

Before 1871, Germany was not a nation but an idea. Its founder, Otto von Bismarck, had a formidable task at hand. How would he bring thirty-nine individual states under the yoke of a single Kaiser, convincing proud Prussians, Bavarians and Rhinelanders to become Germans? Once united, could the young European nation wield enough power to rival the empires of Britain and France – all without destroying itself in the process?In a unique study of five decades that changed the course of modern history, Katja Hoyer tells the story of the German Empire from its violent beginnings to its calamitous defeat in the First World War. It is a dramatic tale of national self-discovery, social upheaval and realpolitik that ended, as it started, in blood and iron.Katja Hoyer is a German-British historian specializing in modern German history. She was born in East Germany and is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society in London .Roger Moorhouse began his writing career working for Professor Norman Davies and has since written several highly successful books on aspects of the Third Reich.The Dublin Festival of History is brought to you by Dublin City Council, and organised by Dublin City Libraries, in partnership with Dublin City Council Culture Company.

For Americans, World War II began in December of 1941, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor; but for Poland, the war began on September 1, 1939, when Hitler's soldiers invaded, followed later that month by Stalin's Red Army. The conflict that followed saw the debut of many of the features that would come to define the later war-blitzkrieg, the targeting of civilians, ethnic cleansing, and indiscriminate aerial bombing-yet it is routinely overlooked by historians. In Poland 1939, Roger Moorhouse reexamines the least understood campaign of World War II, using original archival sources to provide a harrowing and very human account of the events that set the bloody tone for the conflict to come --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

Det var polakkerne, der først kom i krig med Nazityskland. Kamphandlingerne begyndte 1. September 1939 og varede i fem uger. De kostede op mod en kvart million polakker livet. Undervejs måtte Polen også forsvare sig mod sovjetiske styrker, der efter to uger rykkede ind i landet fra øst. Tysk propaganda og tyske officerers erindringslitteratur fremstillede krigen som et ”polsk felttog” og en bestået generalprøve for en effektiv og frygtindgydende tysk krigsmaskine, der med ”blitzkrieg” let løb de polske styrker over ende. Mest absurd blev det tegnede latterlige billede ført frem af den tyske propaganda af den polske modstand, som noget med ulaner til hest, der med dragne sabler selvmorderisk angreb pansrede tyske kampvogne. Denne overordnede usandfærdige fremstlling af et håbløst og dilettantisk polsk militær har imidlertid levet videre i skildringerne af begyndelsen på 2. Verdenskrig til vores tid. I realiteten forsvarede polakkerne sig heroisk, udholdende og ihærdigt og formåede at indgyde angriberne respekt på slagmarken herunder også med ikke ubetydelige tyske tab til følge. I en ny bog tager den britiske historiker Roger Moorhouse et tiltrængt opgør med de gamle fremstillinger af den polske krig i kraft af ny viden hentet i de polske arkiver. I udsendelen medvirker kommandør Poul Grooss. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kun en uge inden Den Anden Verdenskrigs udbrud indgik diktatorerne i Sovjetunionen og Nazityskland den 23. august 1939 en såkaldt ”ikke-angrebs-pagt”, der skulle få stor betydning, og som den dag i dag fortsat er stærkt omdiskuteret. For den såkaldte ”Hitler-Stalin-pagt eller ”Ribbentrop-Molotov-pagt” som den også kaldes efter udenrigsministrene, der forhandlede den på plads, havde også en hemmelig del, der opdelte Østeuropa i interessesfærer. De to lande gav med aftalen hinanden mulighed for at underlægge sig en række lande uden at den anden part blandede sig i det. Det sås tydeligst ved, at det ellers selvstændige Polen blev delt omtrent lige over kun nogle uger efter, at Tyskland angreb landet, mens Sovjetunionen året efter fik frie hænder til at indlemme de tre baltiske lande. Befolkninger i de erobrede områder blev siden udsat for utallige lidelser i form af henrettelser og deportationer. Aftalen, der også handlede om udveksling af varer, holdt i ét år og 10 måneder indtil den blev pludselig opsagt af Tyskland, da landet angreb Sovjetunionen den 22. juni 1941. Den britiske historiker Roger Moorhouse har i bogen ”En djævelsk alliance – Hitlers pagt med Stalin 1939-41” beskrevet aftalen og de konsekvenser, som den fik. I programmet medvirker cand. mag. og militærhistoriker Niels Bo Poulsen, der er chef for Institut for Militærhistorie og Krigsteori på Forsvarsakademiet.

In this episode, Roger Moorhouse brings to light arguably the worst maritime disaster in history, the sinking of the German armed military transport ship, Wilhelm Gustloff, in January 1945. Roger and Dan discuss the circumstances and terrible outcomes of the disaster after first looking at the often ignored background of the ship, which had acted as a cruiseliner in the Nazi programme of Kraft durch Freude (Strength Through Joy).

Today, August 23 is known as Black Ribbon Day, the Day of Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism. On this day, in 1939, German foreign minister J. von Ribbentrop and Soviet foreign minister V. Molotov signed a bilateral non-aggression pact that included illegal Secret Protocols, thereby paving the way for WWII and division of Central and Eastern Europe. British historian and author Roger Moorhouse shares his insights on the impact and consequences of this sinister Soviet-Nazi pact. “The Baltic States are particularly grievously affected by the Secret Protocols of the Nazi-Soviet pact, because, of course, that was the instrument by which the Baltic States were incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1939-1940” - explains the historian.

Historian and academic Roger Moorhouse, revisits the opening campaign of World War II, the German invasion of Poland in September 1939., in his new book Poland 1939: The Outbreak of World War II (Basic Book, 2020). Although the German invasion was the cause of the outbreak of World War II, oddly there has not been much by way of English language treatments of this pivotal historical episode. With this fine and highly readable narrative history, Moorhouse more than makes up for this omission. Combing English, German and crucially Polish language sources, Moorhouse reveals to the reader the German campaign from start to finish. Along the way showing that stereotypical Western images of the Polish army: cavalry charging tanks, are mythological in nature and inaccurate. Moorhouse also details for the reader the shameful refusal of the British and French governments to assist their Polish ally. Equally well illustrated is the Soviet Union's invasion of Eastern Poland. With the Soviet mythology that the invasion was mostly ‘peaceful' and well-received, just that: a myth. In short, Roger Moorhouse presents to the reader a highly interesting narrative history of an important historical episode. All from the author of Berlin at War and The Devil's Alliance.

With this fine and highly readable narrative history, Moorhouse more than makes up for this omission. Combing English, German and crucially Polish language sources, Moorhouse reveals to the reader the German campaign from start to finish. Along the way showing that stereotypical Western images of the Polish army: cavalry charging tanks, are mythological in nature and inaccurate. Moorhouse also details for the reader the shameful refusal of the British and French governments to assist their Polish ally. Equally well illustrated is the Soviet Union’s invasion of Eastern Poland. With the Soviet mythology that the invasion was mostly ‘peaceful’ and well-received, just that: a myth. In short, Roger Moorhouse presents to the reader a highly interesting narrative history of an important historical episode. All from the author of Berlin at War and The Devil’s Alliance. Charles Coutinho Ph. D. of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history. He has written recently for Chatham House’s International Affairs.

Roger Moorhouse in conversation with Robert Gerwarth. For nearly two years the two most infamous dictators in history actively collaborated with one another. The Nazi-Soviet Pact stunned the world. WWII was launched under its auspices and its eventual collapse led to the war’s defining and deciding clash. In The Devils’ Alliance Roger Moorhouse tells the full story for the first time, from the motivation for its inception to its dramatic end in 1941 as Germany declared war against its former parter. Roger Moorhouse is an English historian and the author of three critically-acclaimed books: Killing Hitler; Berlin at War; and most recently The Devils’ Alliance, a fascinating study of the Nazi-Soviet Pact. Robert Gerwarth is Professor of Modern History at UCD and Director of its Centre for War Studies. He is the author of The Bismarck Myth and Hitler’s Hangman: the Life of Heydrich. Recorded at Printworks, Dublin Castle on 24 September 2016.
