CELÝ ROZHOVOR V DÉLCE 58 MIN. JEN NA ⁠HTTPS://HEROHERO.CO/CESTMIR⁠⁠⁠⁠ A ⁠HTTPS://FORENDORS.CZ/CESTMIR „Já jsem prostě blázen. Můžu točit jenom to, čemu hluboce věřím.“ Václav Marhoul je režisér, producent a scenárista, který si zakládá na vnitřní integritě víc než na tom, kolik filmů za život natočí. V rozhovoru otevřeně mluví o tom, proč dává přednost „lásce před sexem“ – protože když se člověk zamiluje, ať už je to do knížky, divadelní hry nebo něčeho jiného hlubokého, co ho inspiruje, vydrží úplně všechno. „Když nežiju v souladu sám se sebou, tak je to se mnou k nevydržení,“ dodává s úsměvem. Jeho vnitřní kompas ho dovedl od parodického Mazaného Filipa přes válečný Tobruk až k mezinárodně oceňovanému Nabarvenému ptáčeti, které mu otevřelo dveře do Hollywoodu. Ty se ale nakonec zavřely: po třech a půl letech intenzivní práce na ambiciózním americkém projektu o senátorovi McCarthym přišla studená sprcha – produkce se rozhodla dát režii někomu jinému. Marhoul popisuje, jak nákladný historický film nebylo možné v Americe natočit kvůli nerealistickým očekáváním producenta. „Zásadní ponaučení z toho je, že už nikdy nedopustím, abych na jakémkoliv filmu, kde budu pracovat, byl jenom režisér,“ dodává k tomu, že třeba Miloši Formanovi zrušili natáčení jeho posledního filmu den před natáčením. Marhoul mluví ale také o politice, stavu světa i o tom, proč se Amerika může naprosto zvrátit. „To nejhorší, co se může stát, je občanská válka, která bude zuřit v každém malém městě,“ varuje před nejhorším scénářem v případě, že by se přestal respektovat právní řád, ale dodává, že je sám raději optimista. Vedle geopolitiky se ale rozhovor dotýká i velmi osobních témat. Marhoul otevřeně mluví o tom, jak zjistil, že jeho otec byl veden ve svazcích StB. „S bráchou nás vychovával k poctivosti a pravdomluvnosti. To byl paradox – možná do nás chtěl dát to, co jemu chybělo,“ říká a přiznává, že se svým otcem vedl těžké debaty, ale že ho měl i tak rád a váží si toho, jaké měl dětství. S empatií a nadhledem mluví i o tom, proč nerad odsuzuje lidi. Podle něj málokdy dohlédneme ke všem důvodům, proč se někdo nějak zachoval – třeba když odejde z nějakého vztahu. „Je strašně jednoduché někoho lynčovat,“ dodává k tomu, že dospělý člověk přece ví, že život není jen černá a bílá. Marhoul zároveň věří, že krutost je v nás zakořeněná daleko víc, než si chceme přiznat a kdyby přišla krizová situace, z lidí se velmi rychle stanou zvířata. Jak se vůbec dostal k možnosti točit pod americkou produkcí a jak vnímá způsob, kterým spolupráce skončila? Je podle něj současné dění ve světě filmařsky zajímavé? A proč je Donald Trump barbar, ale viceprezident Spojených států JD Vance katastrofa? I to se dozvíte v rozhovoru.

In 1941, in the midst of the North Africa Campaign, the British found themselves on the ropes.  Under General Erwin Rommel's leadership, the German advance threatened Cairo and the Suez Canal.  The one thing that was stopping the Germans was that the British still held the strategic port city of Tobruk in Libya.  For over half a year, the Germans laid siege to the city, and the British tried to relieve it.

VICCTORY PLAN UNWELCOMED: : 4/8: The Russo-Ukrainian War: The Return of History. by  Serhii Plokhy  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Russo-Ukrainian-War-Return-History/dp/1324051191 Despite repeated warnings from the White House, Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war―and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military; the West has united, while Russia grows increasingly isolated. Serhii Plokhy, a leading historian of Ukraine and the Cold War, offers a definitive account of this conflict, its origins, course, and the already apparent and possible future consequences. Though the current war began eight years before the all-out assault―on February 27, 2014, when Russian armed forces seized the building of the Crimean parliament―the roots of this conflict can be traced back even earlier, to post-Soviet tensions and imperial collapse in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Providing a broad historical context and an examination of Ukraine and Russia's ideas and cultures, as well as domestic and international politics, Plokhy reveals that while this new Cold War was not inevitable, it was predictable. Ukraine, Plokhy argues, has remained central to Russia's idea of itself even as Ukrainians have followed a radically different path. In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the disintegration of the post–Cold War international order, and a resurgence of populist nationalism, Ukraine is now more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe. 1942 TOBRUK

Join Craig and Gaurav as they cover Operation Crusader, the British counter offensive to relieve the seige of Tobruk. Upon arriving in North Africa, Lt. General Erwin Rommel launched Operation Sonnenblume, transforming the campaign. His German Panzers ended the dominance of the British Matilda tanks and laid siege to Tobruk. British General Archibald Wavell's attempts to lift the siege failed, prompting his eventual replacement by General Sir Claude Auchinleck. Auchinleck prepared for Operation Crusader, aiming to break the siege of Tobruk with a well-coordinated attack involving the 8th Army. Despite Rommel's initial successes, Tobruk remained a critical Allied holdout, crucial for supply lines. The Axis, facing harassment from the Royal Navy and the Desert Air Force, struggled to supply their forces over long, vulnerable routes. Seizing Tobruk was vital for the Axis to advance into Egypt. Auchinleck's plan for Operation Crusader involved a multi-pronged offensive. On November 18, 1941, the 8th Army launched a surprise attack. Initial successes included capturing Axis airfields and engaging Italian divisions. However, Rommel's counterattacks led to heavy losses on both sides. The Allied breakout from Tobruk saw fierce fighting but struggled to maintain momentum due to dispersed tank units. Rommel, seizing the opportunity, planned a counter-offensive, Operation Brandung. Despite initial Axis gains, Allied forces managed to disrupt supply lines and isolate Axis positions. The battle swung back and forth with significant losses on both sides. Ultimately, Rommel's forces were overstretched and forced to withdraw from Tobruk by December. By December 10, Tobruk was relieved, and Rommel's forces retreated to form a new defensive line. Although the Axis avoided encirclement, they suffered heavy casualties and material losses. The Allies, despite their incomplete victory, had lifted the immediate threat to Egypt, marking a significant turning point in the North African campaign.

Antonella Sbuelz"Mariam"Guerra e amori richiedono coraggio.Vallecchi Firenzewww.vallecchi-firenze.it"La Libia fascista. Il ventennio che ha consegnato l'Europa ai totalitarismi. Sopravvivere al colonialismo, alla guerra e a certi amori richiede coraggio. Mariam ce l'ha."28 Giugno 1940. L'Italia è appena entrata in guerra. A bordo di un trimotore italiano viaggia l'uomo più potente della Libia, già diventato leggenda. Più in basso, nella polvere del deserto, una ragazza a cavallo – in fuga da obblighi e violenza – ne segue il volo con lo sguardo. Ma l'aereo non giungerà mai a destinazione: un'esplosione incendia il cielo di Tobruk. Si tratta di un semplice incidente? O si nasconde altro, dietro la morte dell'unico gerarca che abbia osato sfidare Mussolini? E chi è l'uomo che qualche anno più tardi cerca vendetta tra le vie di Roma, appena dichiarata città libera? Prendendo le mosse da un dubbio storico venato di giallo, La guerra di Mariam ripercorre ombre e chiaroscuri del colonialismo italiano in Libia, rievocandone i protagonisti, le atmosfere, i grandi eventi che hanno cambiato il mondo e gli inesplorati dettagli nascosti nelle pieghe della Storia. E narrando la vita di uomini e donne che, dal basso, osano ribellarsi a convenzioni e imposizioni, in un personale apprendistato alla libertà. Mariam e Livio, Samuele e Jole, Pietro e Leda pulsano, vivono, si innamorano, rischiano, perdono se stessi e l'innocenza, cercano un senso al proprio agire tra schianti e voli. Sullo sfondo della narrazione, la bellezza sensuale di paesaggi estremi e i drammi di un ventennio ambizioso e cupo. Dagli antichi templi romani di Sabratha avvolti dalla luce all'Autodromo della Mellaha su cui sfreccia l'Alfa Romeo di Nuvolari, dall'esercito rurale dei ventimila coloni che salpano nell'autunno del 1938 alle calli tripoline profumate di spezie.Antonella Sbuelz vive a Udine, dove è nata. Ha condotto studi universitari a Trieste e Verona, conseguendo un Dottorato in Letteratura Moderna presso l'Università di Losanna. È autrice di otto romanzi, numerosi racconti, raccolte poetiche, saggistica. Alle sue opere - tradotte in inglese, tedesco, francese, croato e spagnolo - sono stati assegnati numerosi premi, tra cui il Premio Fiuggi Storia, il Biblioteche di Roma, l'Alda Merini, il Colline di Torino, il Città di Predazzo, il Città di Arce, il Raffaele Crovi, il Rhegium Julii. La sua ultima raccolta poetica, Chiedi a ogni goccia il mare (Stampa 2009, 2020) ha ricevuto il Premio Camaiore ed è stata inserita nella Rosa finalista del Premio Viareggio.

Volvemos a la Segunda Guerra Mundial en el norte de África con Operation Theseus. Gazala 1942, un juego operacional diseñado por Dirk Blennemann y editado en 2022 por Vuca Simulations. El juego pretende simular las operaciones llevadas a cabo por Rommel entre mayo y junio de 1942 que culminaron con la toma de Tobruk, y que resultó ser la victoria más exitosa del Afrika Korps de Rommel contra la Commonwealth liderada por los británicos. Contamos de nuevo con todo un experto en esta época, Javier Veramendi, director de Historia Contemporánea de la editorial Desperta Ferro, quien nos contará con todo detalle la situación estratégica de ambos bandos previa a la batalla, los planes ofensivos y defensivos y el desarrollo de la campaña. Para el análisis del juego, enfrentamos a dos conocedores del mismo: por un lado, haciendo hincapié en las bondades del sistema, tenemos a un nuevo invitado: Juan Francisco Luzón alias Hammermig. En el otro extremo del ring, descubriendo las vergüenzas del diseño, contamos con Juan Diego alias Arensivia. Como juez (y parte, ya veréis) estará Franjo con el apoyo del testigo experto, D. Javier Veramendi.

El 13 de abril del 1941, Tobruk estaba protegido por la 9ª División Australiana, unos cuantos cañones antitanques, alambre de espino y campos de minas. El contingente italo-alemán no estaba todavía preparado para atacar, pero probó suerte. Es la conocida como "the Easter Battle", donde el choque fue brutal por ambos bandos.

This production was originally released on DVD in 2015 - the first ‘Thistle Productions' project - and it is finally available for free via streaming. These dozen veterans served across the whole theatre of war. At sea they fought the Bismarck and the Admiral Graf Spee, and sailed in the Mediterranean Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, including at the largest naval engagement of the war. On land they fought at Tobruk, El Alamein and Tarakan; and they trekked through the jungles of New Guinea and landed on the beaches of Balikpapan. And in the sky they flew over Europe for Bomber Command, over the Middle East for the Desert Air Force, and with the Forgotten Army in Burma. Many had narrow escapes, including one sole survivor when his bomber crashed in enemy territory.

Romper el sitio de tobruk no sería tarea fácil para los británicos en 1941. La confusa operación Brevity de mediados de mayo, fracasó en su intento, aunque salvó los muebles al retirarse a tiempo. Battleaxe, a mediados de junio, intentó un ataque directo a las posiciones del Paso de Halfaya y un duelo de tanques. Pero subestimar al enemigo le costó muy caro. Churchill debería esperar a mediados de noviembre para ver una nueva ofensiva, mucho más ambiciosa, y capaz de absorber muchas más pérdidas que en las anteriores para poder desalojar a Rommel de las inmediaciones de Tobruk: la Operación Crusader.

Now that the Battle of the Cauldron was over, Rommel could come for the Free French at Bir Hakeem, to his SW. With this outpost removed, Africa Corps would be free to drive to the NE and take Tobruk.

And those men, a mixed bag of nationalities would show the Nazis and the world, the heart of a warrior. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The day of battle is here. Both sides have made flawed plans. The question is who can adapt faster. Still, the first phase of the Battle of Gazala goes to The Desert Fox. But there is always the question of fuel. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

La 132ª Divisione corazzata Ariete se enfrentaría en la Cirenaica a la 22nd Armoured Brigade el 19 de Noviembre del 41, en la defensa del cerco de Tobruk. El cruce de caminos de Bir el Gubi fue el escenario de uno de los éxitos italianos, que por supuesto, se apuntó Rommel como propio, y los británicos lo minusvaloraron como un hecho sin importancia. Y es que incluso hoy estamos viendo como la propaganda es un eficaz arma de guerra. Te lo cuenta 🎙Damián, 📐Félix y 🦕Antonio Gómez. Casus Belli Podcast pertenece a la 🏭 Factoría Casus Belli.

With the failure of Gen. Auchinleck's Operation Crusader, at the end of 1941, Rommel resupplies and heads out again, before the British can start Operation Acrobat, the drive on Tripoli. As it was a year ago, the Allies are stretched far too thin and the men are under trained and under staffed. Rommel hopes to take Cyrenaica, then Tobruk, all in preparation for a much larger offensive that will finally end the war in North Africa, Egypt and possibly, the Middle East.

Dal blocco della nave russa carica di grano ucraino fino alle condizioni dettate per l'ingresso di Svezia e Finlandia nella NATO: quanto è potente Erdogan in questo momento? E in che misura deve affrontare invece problemi interni? Ne abbiamo parlato con Marta Ottaviani (giornalista, esperta di Turchia e affari russi, il suo ultimo libro è "Brigate Russe", pubblicato da Ledizioni - LediPublishing). Dopo la conquista di Lysychansk e il tentativo di prendere l'intero Donbass quale sarà l'atteggiamento di Vladimir Putin? E come potrebbe comportarsi al prossimo G20? Ne abbiamo parlato con Andrey Kortunov, direttore del Russian Council. Infine siamo andati in Libia, dove nel fine settimana una folla inferocita ha assaltato e incendiato il parlamento di Tobruk: rivolta popolare? Ennesimo scontro tra Bashaga e Dbeibah? Oppure un'azione di Khalifa Haftar e dei suoi alleati russi? Ne abbiamo parlato con Anas El Gomati, direttore del think-tank Sadeq Institute.

A 3-day meeting of Islamic clerics and tribal leaders in Kabul has ended with a call to the world to recognise the Taliban's leadership of Afghanistan and to lift sanctions.

Authorities have urged residents to stay in air raid shelters. Also reports from Russian state media say that two Britons will stand trial for "mercenary activities," and the ship which Ukraine says is full of stolen grain. Also on the programme; the UN special advisor on Libya condemns the violence after the Libyan parliament in the city of Tobruk is set ablaze by protesters. And Greece's minister of Climate Change tells us about their efforts to combat wildfires before they even take place.

In June 1942 the Libyan city of Tobruk fell to Rommel's German troops leaving the Allied North African campaign in serious trouble.

El 10 de junio de 1940 la Italia de Benito Mussolini declaró la guerra al Reino Unido y Francia. En aquel momento el ejército francés se encontraba en plena retirada tras la invasión alemana que había comenzado sólo un mes antes. El Reino Unido, por su parte, se encontraba totalmente sobrepasado. Había tenido que salir huyendo del continente repatriando a toda prisa a su contingente en Dunquerque y se preparaba para resistir el ataque alemán que se tenía por inminente. Parecía el mejor momento para entrar en la guerra del lado del vencedor cuando ésta se encontraba ya prácticamente decidida. Que Italia tomase partido no afectaba demasiado a los aliados en Europa Occidental (Francia se encontraba derrotada y Gran Bretaña quedaba muy lejos de Italia), pero si abría un nuevo teatro de operaciones en el Mediterráneo, los Balcanes y el norte de África. En aquella época el continente africano se encontraba colonizado en su práctica totalidad por potencias europeas. En la costa africana del Mediterráneo convivían cuatro potencias: el Reino Unido en Egipto, Italia en Libia, Francia en Túnez y Argelia y España la zona septentrional de Marruecos. Libia se convertía así en el principal bastión del eje en el norte de África. La Argelia francesa y el protectorado de Túnez se mantuvieron leales al Gobierno de Vichy presidido por el mariscal Petain y el protectorado español en Marruecos dependía de un régimen, el de Francisco Franco, claramente afín al Tercer Reich. Sólo quedaba Egipto del lado aliado. Egipto era un reino independiente, al menos oficialmente, desde 1922. El rey Faruq se había declarado neutral al empezar la contienda, pero el Reino Unido controlaba el canal de Suez por lo que su influencia era decisiva en la política egipcia. Contemplando como había quedado el mapa, los estrategas alemanes pronto advirtieron que, con la retaguardia cubierta, si una ofensiva lo suficientemente vigorosa avanzaba desde Libia hasta Egipto podían cortar de cuajo el contacto del Reino Unido con la India y sus colonias de extremo oriente. Sería esa una contribución decisiva que, combinada con el control del estrecho de Gibraltar y de islas como Malta o Creta, sacaría a la Royal Navy del Mediterráneo estrangulando así la economía británica. Este fue el origen de uno de los teatros de operaciones más duros de la segunda guerra mundial, la campaña del norte de África en la que se enfrentaron alemanes e italianos contra los británicos en batallas míticas bajo el sol abrasador del desierto del Sahara como el sitio de Tobruk o las dos batallas del Alamein. Winston Churchill lo consideró desde el principio como un frente prioritario sabedor de la importancia que el canal de Suez tenía para la supervivencia de la metrópoli. Envió efectivos desde Gran Bretaña y desde todo el imperio, incluyendo remotas colonias como la India, Australia o Nueva Zelanda. A su frente colocó al general de infantería Bernard Montgomery, un veterano de la primera guerra mundial. Para reforzar a los italianos Adolf Hitler envió a un cuerpo expedicionario de unos 100.000 hombres llamado Afrika Korps al mando de Erwin Rommel, uno de sus mejores generales que ya había participado en las campañas de Polonia y Francia. Tanto Montgomery como Rommel imprimieron su personalísimo sello a toda la campaña del norte de África. Trataron de hacer una guerra limpia y caballerosa en la que, en líneas generales, se respetó a la población civil. Es por ello que los historiadores la conocen como “la guerra sin odio” y esto mismo es lo que vamos a ver con más detalle en La ContraHistoria de hoy.

Tobruk was one of the greatest Allied victories – and one of the worst Allied defeats – of the Second World War. Almost from the start of producing the podcast I've wanted to do an episode looking at Tobruk. I think it probably first gets a mention in episode 11 when we looked at Richard O'Connor, since then the town has come up in numerous episodes. I'm joined by David Mitchellhill Green David is the author of Tobruk: Rommel and the Battles Leading to his greatest victory. It is a fascinating read which places Tobruk in a wider history to help explain why it was strategically important. Patreon: patreon.com/WW2podcast
