Czy III Rzesza przegrała dlatego, że Amerykanie mieli więcej czołgów, samolotów i pieniędzy?To tylko część prawdy.W tym materiale pokazuję, dlaczego największą przewagą armii amerykańskiej nie był przemysł, lecz zdolność do błyskawicznego uczenia się na własnych błędach. Od bolesnej porażki pod Kasserine, przez Sycylię i Anzio, aż po lądowanie w Normandii – w zaledwie kilkanaście miesięcy US Army przeszła jedną z najbardziej spektakularnych przemian w historii nowoczesnej wojny.Poznacie również niezwykłe historie Maurice'a Britta, Audiego Murphy'ego i innych żołnierzy, których losy pokazują, jak rodziła się armia zdolna pokonać Wehrmacht.Film powstał m.in. w oparciu o książkę Aleksa Kershawa „Czterech zuchwałych” wydaną przez Znak Horyzont.W materiale znajdziecie odpowiedzi na pytania:• Dlaczego Amerykanie przegrali z Rommlem pod Kasserine?• Jak George Marshall i George Patton zmienili US Army?• Co było największą słabością Wehrmachtu pod koniec wojny?• Dlaczego Normandia była egzaminem dwóch lat nauki?• Czy zwycięstwo aliantów było zasługą produkcji przemysłowej czy organizacji armii?A Wy jak uważacie?Co miało większe znaczenie dla zwycięstwa aliantów:amerykańska potęga przemysłowa,czy zdolność armii do wyciągania wniosków z własnych porażek?Napiszcie swoją opinię w komentarzach.JAK WSPIERAĆ KANAŁ:
Nel Maestro e Margherita Michail Bulgakov immagina che il diavolo venga in visita a Mosca, curioso di vedere come sono cambiati i moscoviti dopo la Rivoluzione. Nel novembre 1941, il diavolo stava davvero per arrivare: Hitler aveva scatenato l'Operazione Barbarossa, e la Wehrmacht era alla periferia di Mosca. Nella città in stato d'assedio, Stalin fece tenere egualmente, il 7 novembre, la parata per l'anniversario della Rivoluzione; pochi giorni dopo l'inverno più freddo del XX secolo e i rinforzi provenienti dalla Siberia permisero di respingere i tedeschi e salvare la capitale. Si accresceva così nella memoria russa quella sacralità di Mosca che ne fa una città-mondo per tutto l'immenso continente che dall'Ucraina arriva al Mar del Giappone.

Dr. Bartov's early research concerned the Nazi indoctrination of the Wehrmacht and the crimes it committed in World War II, analyzed in his books, The Eastern Front, 1941-1945, and Hitler's Army. He then turned to the links between total war and genocide, discussed in his books Murder in Our Midst, Mirrors of Destruction, and Germany's War and the Holocaust. His latest book is Israel: What Went Wrong? In this episode, we focus on Israel: What Went Wrong? We talk about what Zionism was originally, how it became intertwined with the displacement of Palestinian people, and how it became a state ideology and a settler colonialist ideology. We discuss the “anti-Zionist” label. We talk about what it is like to grow up in Israel. We discuss whether Hamas and Hezbollah are resistance movements. We discuss what could be the aftermath of the genocide in Gaza, and why Israel is in a state of forever war with its neighbors. Finally, we talk about how there could be stability in the Middle East.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

A seus postos, Aliança Rebelde!Está no ar mais um episódio do Desnazificando! E hoje nós vamos voltar para a série sobre as organizações do Terceiro Reich!Essa série tem episódios mais curtos e se propõe a analisar as instituições do regime nazista, contribuindo para a complexificação desse fenômeno e para compreender os diversos graus de responsabilidade que operavam dentro do séquito nazista, sobretudo em se tratando da responsabilidade pelo extermínio.E no quinto episódio da nossa série, nós discutimos um grande mito da história do século XX: a ideia de que a exército alemão teria mantido as "mãos limpas" durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial.No episódio de hoje, mergulhamos na história da Wehrmacht — as forças armadas da Alemanha nazista.Afinal, qual era o papel dos militares no projeto genocida do Terceiro Reich? Eles eram apenas soldados cumprindo ordens e alheios à ideologia, ou foram parte integrante e ativa da engrenagem do extermínio?Analisar a Wehrmacht é um passo fundamental para compreender a complexidade do regime nazista e os diversos graus de responsabilidade que operavam dentro dele. Como nos lembra Hannah Arendt, o totalitarismo tem raízes profundas — olhar criticamente para essas instituições nos ajuda a refletir sobre o como a barbárie se estrutura institucionalmente.
Czesi i Niemcy współistnieli na terenach Ziem Korony Czeskiej od średniowiecza, od czasów, kiedy to Przemyślidzi zaczęli sprowadzać na górzyste pogranicze niemieckojęzycznych osadników. Przez kilkaset lat owo współistnienie działało, raz lepiej, raz gorzej, ale jednak działało. Przestało, gdy w XIX wieku narodziła się idea nowoczesnych narodów i nacjonalizm, legło w gruzach, gdy ten ostatni zdobył władzę w Niemczech, okupował Czechy a potem przegrał wojnę.136 odcinek to pierwsza część dwuczęściowej rozmowy z Karoliną Ćwiek-Rogalską, bohemistką i antropolożką kultury, profesorką Instytutu Slawistyki Polskiej Akademii Nauk, rozmowy poświęconej zarówno historii jak i temu, jak rzutuje ona na czeską współczesność. Punktem wyjścia opowieści jest tegoroczne Meeting Brno - organizowana od nastu lat impreza służąca czesko-niemieckiemu pojednaniu. W tym roku, po raz pierwszy, jej częścią były dni sudetoniemieckie, współorganizowane przez Związek Niemców Sudeckich. I to bardzo się nie spodobało nacjonalistom... tym razem czeskim. W podcaście sięgamy też oczywiście, na chwilę, do średniowiecza, potem zaglądamy w wiek XIX i panikę, jaką wśród niemieckojęzycznych obywateli królestwa Czech wzbudziła wizja równouprawnienia czeskiego języka.Jest o tym, jak już Niemcy, którzy w między czasie dorobili się, po raz pierwszy w historii, własnego narodowego państwa, odnajdywali się w Czechosłowacji i jak masowo poparli dyktaturę austriackiego akwarelisty włączając się w okupacyjny aparat represji i prześladowań.W części drugiej - za tydzień, rozmawiać będziemy głównie o czeskim odwecie a szczególnie o jego pierwszej, tuż powojennej, najbrutalniejszej części. Czyli czasie, kiedy to odwróciły się rolę i Czesi zaczęli wypędzać a czasem też likwidować Niemców.Niektóre wcześniejsze odcinki Czechostacji związane z tematem dzisiejszej rozmowy:Czystka etniczna po czeskuZamach na HeydrichaMonachijski dyktatHistoria czesko-niemieckich relacji***Jeśli podcast Wam się podoba i chcecie pomóc go rozwijać, możecie zostać Patronami lub Patronkami Czechostacji w serwisie Patronite.

[REDIFFUSION] Bienvenue dans les Fabuleux Destin, le podcast pour découvrir des histoires vraies et étonnantes. Cette semaine, découvrez l'incroyable histoire du couple Lucie et Raymond Aubrac. Véritable héros de la résistance lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ils ont mené des actions dans le but d'informer les différents groupes résistants français permettant aux forces armées de perdurer pendant l'occupation. Proche de Jean Moulin, et d'autres grands noms de la résistance, ils sont des personnages incontournables de cette période historique. Joignez-vous à nous et revivez ce récit au travers de cette saison. Arrestation et torture Le 10 novembre 1942, la Wehrmacht envahit la zone sud, jusqu'ici restée « libre ». Hitler a peur : les alliés du général de Gaulle sont parvenus à s'emparer de territoires stratégiques en Afrique du Nord, tandis que la résistance en zone sud ne cesse de prendre de l'ampleur. Le Führer, craignant que ses ennemis tentent un débarquement dans la région de Toulon, décide de manière unilatérale de bafouer les accords de Montoire et d'étendre son pouvoir sur l'ensemble du territoire français. À Lyon, où Lucie et Raymond Aubrac intensifient leurs activités clandestines, les SS investissent tous les bâtiments officiels. Le réseau « Libération » doit redoubler de vigilance, d'autant qu'il n'a cessé de gagner en importance - devenant le deuxième réseau le plus important de la zone sud. Le journal, deux ans après sa création, approche désormais les 100 000 tirages par numéro.

CORREGIDO fallo en el audio. Si persiste, empieza desde el principio y luego ve a donde lo dejaste. Considerado por muchos como el mayor genio operacional de la Wehrmacht, Erich von Manstein es una figura rodeada de tanto prestigio como controversia. Analizamos junto a Antonio Muñoz de Lorente y Antonio Gómez de la Torre la trayectoria de un militar que dominó la guerra de movimiento, desde sus éxitos en Crimea hasta el desastre de Stalingrado y la batalla de Járkov. Separamos el grano de la paja para entender al hombre detrás del mito: su papel en la planificación de la invasión de Francia, su relación con Hitler y su responsabilidad en las atrocidades cometidas en el Frente del Este, desmintiendo el relato de la Wehrmacht limpia que él mismo ayudó a construir tras la guerra. ◼️ Edición Limitada Versus Vol.1 https://go.ivoox.com/sq/3153351 ◼️ ⭐️ ¿Qué es la Edición Especial de Verano?

Mucho antes de las grandes batallas de desgaste que definirían el Frente del Este, el saliente de Yelnia se convirtió en una auténtica picadora de carne. Analizamos junto a Sergio Murata y Esaú Rodríguez cómo el Ejército Rojo logró frenar el avance imparable de la Wehrmacht en el verano de 1941. Un relato sobre la desesperación en las trincheras, el bautismo de fuego de las primeras divisiones de la Guardia soviética y el colapso de la doctrina de la Blitzkrieg frente a la tenacidad de las tropas de Stalin. ◼️ Edición Limitada Versus Vol.1 👉 https://go.ivoox.com/sq/3153351 ◼️ ⭐️ ¿Qué es la Edición Especial de Verano?

Ralph speaks to historian Omer Bartov about his new book “Israel: What Went Wrong?” with special guest, international law expert Bruce FeinBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.Many of the things that you describe in Israel apply in spades in the United States. We also have an administration that says we're being invaded militarily by Venezuela gangs, so we have to go kidnap their president and annex Venezuela. We've stated that Iran is an existential threat to the United States because at some future time, it's conceivable they may get one nuclear weapon. We have 5,000, Israel probably has 300 or 400. Or make the argument that we are being invaded by defenseless immigrants across the southern border. And it does seem to me that all countries—I don't think it's unique anyway to the United States or Israel, but it's generally true those in power are there to manufacture fear, to inflate fleas into elephants and say “My gosh, tomorrow the sky is falling down. We need to have national emergencies, rule by decree.” Everything is “an imminent danger”, the Communist domino theory. It's a very challenging issue. I say what you've described in Israel is not unique to Israel. We confront it every day right in the United States. And it works.Bruce FeinOmer Bartov is the Dean's Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University. A historian, Professor Bartov was born on a kibbutz, grew up in Tel Aviv, and served in the Israel Defense Forces during the Yom Kippur War. He went on to become a leading scholar of the German army and the Holocaust, before turning his attention to his native country. His early research concerned the Nazi indoctrination of the Wehrmacht and the crimes it committed in World War II. He then turned to the links between total war and genocide and interethnic relations in the borderlands of Eastern Europe. His current interest is reflected in his recent books, Genocide, the Holocaust and Israel-Palestine: First-Person History in Times of Crisis, Israel: What Went Wrong?, and the forthcoming The Broken Promise: A Personal Political History of Israel and Palestine. The whole idea of creating a Jewish state (and it says so in the Proclamation of the State from May 1948) is that it would be a state for Jews—that it would be both Jewish and democratic. And that has proven to be not possible. A Jewish state can be both Jewish and democratic only if the overwhelming majority (if not all) of its citizens are Jews.Omer Bartov[Zionist zealots] believe that history is on their side—so in that sense, they are similar to Communists they're similar to Fascists they're similar to Nazis in that they believe that they can see the way forward, they know the logic of history, and the logic of history as they see it is on their side.Omer BartovIn Israel, since the 1980s (really since after the War of 1973, with the rise of the right wing in Israel in particular) the Holocaust has come to serve a particular purpose. Instead of being commemorated as an event that happened in the past that we should remember and commemorate and research, it's become a kind of image of an imminent danger to Israel. And the farther Israel has moved from the actual event of the Holocaust, and the more the Israeli army has become the military hegemon in its region, the more this alleged threat of an “Auschwitz around the corner” has been used by Israeli governments. Why has it been used? Because Israel actually needs to explain to itself and to its citizens: Why is it bossing it over millions of Palestinians? Half of the population under Israeli control are Palestinians. Two million are citizens, but they don't have equal rights, and the others have no rights at all (they're simply under arbitrary military rule). So how do you explain that? You explain that by telling your population and the rest of the world that those Palestinians—who have no power, who can never pose a threat to you—are an existential threat. And in Israel, that has worked quite well.Omer BartovBecause of the focus on Hebrew—to create Hebrew as a mother tongue for children whose mothers didn't speak Hebrew—because of that, there was a great antagonism towards speaking any other language. And the notion of having bilingual schools (that is, of having schools in Palestine where people would learn both Hebrew and Arabic, the language of the place) is not entertained by the vast majority of educators. Now, if you think about what would have been the result of having bilingual schools already in the 1920s and 30s, that children could speak each other's language and recognize each other's culture—that could have had a huge effect on how Zionism developed and how the state would have developed. But in today's Israel, the only bilingual population are the Palestinians. Palestinian citizens of Israel speak Arabic and Hebrew. Most Israelis don't speak Arabic. And most Israelis who trace themselves (quite large numbers) not to Europe, but to North Africa and the Middle East, where their parents and grandparents spoke Arabic (this was their language) have forgotten that language and were ashamed of their parents speaking it because it associated them with the Arabs. So the loss in this kind of creation of a nation around one language was the ability to imagine yourself as sharing the space with another group.Omer Bartov * Our top story concerns a progressive insurgent running in a must-win Senate race – and not the one you're thinking of. Late last week, Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed won the endorsement of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The New York Times notes that this is AOC's first Senate endorsement of this cycle, coming just about a month ahead of the August 4th Michigan primary. El-Sayed is quoted saying that he is “honored for what her support says about what this campaign is building and what we're fighting for,” adding that he thinks that “too many establishment Democrats are…afraid that I will win.” He pointedly attacked Senator Chuck Schumer, charging that the Minority Leader “doesn't want to see me on the inside of the U.S. Senate,” because El-Sayed would “call out the kind of politics where we take money from corporations and AIPAC to run milquetoast campaigns and don't say anything about the problems that everyday people are facing.” El-Sayed has announced that he will campaign with AOC and Senator Bernie Sanders in Detroit, Lansing and Grand Rapids on July 18th and 19th, per MLive.* Another earthquake occurred in the Michigan Senate race on July 5th, when State Senator Mallory McMorrow announced that she would be withdrawing from the race – turning what was a competitive three-way race into a head-to-head between El-Sayed and the Democratic establishment pick, Congresswoman Haley Stevens. The Detroit Free Press notes that this announcement “comes after absentee ballots have already been mailed out to some voters and too late to remove her name from the primary ballot,” though voters are able to rescind their absentee votes and submit new ones up through Friday, July 24th. In a video statement, McMorrow maintained that “People are crying out for change and we need to listen.” McMorrow once led her opponents in this race but saw her support collapse and was trailing in a distant third place in recent polls. Rumor also had it that outgoing Senator Gary Peters was privately calling for her to exit the race so centrists could consolidate around Stevens. While many of her supporters are expected to go to Stevens, El-Sayed is energetically courting McMorrow's voters as well. The Detroit News reports McMorrow herself has announced that she will remain neutral in the remaining days of the primary, leaving her voters to vote their own consciences.* In more Michigan news, DSA-backed congressional candidate Donavan McKinney is running strong in his primary campaign against incumbent Congressman Shri Thanedar, whom McKinney has labeled “Detroit's own Elon Musk,” according to the New York Post. If McKinney pulls it off, he will join the growing group of DSA members in the House, along with Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier and AOC from New York, Chris Rabb and Melat Kiros from Pennsylvania and Colorado respectively, and Rashida Tlaib from Michigan. Another candidate endorsed by his local DSA chapter, Kyle Blomquist, is running for Congress in Michigan but even if he wins his primary he is not expected to flip the deep red 1st congressional district.* In Missouri, Cori Bush has also won the support of DSA for her comeback congressional run against Wesley Bell, who defeated her in the 2024 primary, Andrew Solender reports. Bush had already won the support of her local DSA chapter, along with many other progressive organizations, and has been endorsed by Senator Bernie Sanders, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, and former Congressman Jamaal Bowman. This week though, she won the support of the national DSA. In a statement, Bush wrote “I am honored to be once again endorsed by the Democratic [Socialists] of America as I campaign to return to Congress and keep building our movement to fight for economic justice, Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and a world where everyday people have a real voice in our workplace's neighborhoods and society.” Bush also praised DSA for its “decades of organizing…[mobilizing] thousands of people across the country to demand an economy that works for all of us…[and] take on war profiteers, the for-profit healthcare industry, and the billionaire funded lobbies that subvert our democracy.” There has been little polling of this race, but what there has been appears to show the race in a statistical dead heat. One sign that Bush is being taken seriously is the new $865,000 ad buy taken out by the United Democracy Project, an AIPAC cutout.* Ironically, it would seem that American Jews have a more favorable view of the progressive left than Israel. According to the Forward, a new AP poll found that “44% of American Jews hold a favorable opinion of Zohran Mamdani, compared with 39% who view him unfavorably.” This is in contrast to the 32% of respondents who said they have a favorable opinion of Netanyahu and 59% who said they have a negative view of the Israeli PM. Perhaps more surprisingly, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a “staunch supporter of Israel,” garnered only a 41% favorability rating, though far more respondents said they don't know enough about him to have an opinion than said they have a negative view.* Turning back to the Senate, the other major story this week of course is the fall of Graham Platner. Accusations of sexual assault, detailed in a POLITICO article, resulted in a deluge of opprobrium that cascaded upwards culminating in Platner's earliest and highest profile supporter, Senator Bernie Sanders, calling on him to drop out of the Senate race in Maine. In a video message released Wednesday, Platner stated that he would be suspending his campaign effective immediately, later telling staff that he plans to wait until Monday, the final possible day, to formally withdraw from the race, Axios reports. In the same video, Platner categorically denied the accusations calling them “all false,” and maintaining that the “things that have been claimed did not happen.” He implied that the scandal was orchestrated by “those in power“ who would “rather see Susan Collins win than have me be the next Senator from Maine.”* Platner's impending, late-stage withdrawal from the race has set off a chaotic blitz primary to replace him as the Democratic nominee. Numerous candidates have announced they are running including former Maine Senate president Troy Jackson, former Director of Maine's Center for Disease, Control and Prevention Nirav Shah, co-founder of Maine beer company Dan Kleban, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows and state lawmaker Valli Geiger, along with Jordan Wood and Paige Loud, both of whom ran in the Maine second congressional district Democratic primary. The actual process for selecting a nominee has been the subject of debate – with many progressives arguing for caucuses – but POLITICO reports that by July 27th, “600 delegates must be selected,” including 500 from the state's 16 county parties, and these delegates will decide on a candidate to replace Platner via “an unprecedented nominating convention,” wherein all delegates come in unpledged to any candidate setting the stage for “what could be a raucous and unpredictable free-for-all.” It remains to be seen how this will all shake out, but it is notable that almost all of these candidates poll very strongly against Senator Susan Collins, with many polling higher than Platner ever did, while the Democratic Party's handpicked primary candidate, sitting Governor Janet Mills, still polls lower than Platner even since the scandal broke.* For our final Senate story, we turn to the senior Senator from Kentucky, Mitch McConnell. McConnell was recently found unconscious in his Washington, DC home and has been hospitalized since, and while Republican Senators and media figures like Scott Jennings claim to have spoken with him directly, his being sequestered away from the public has fueled rampant speculation about the severity of his condition and why it is being kept so secretive. Forbes reports that some figures on the right, including Steve Bannon, are “suggesting the Republican establishment is shielding the state of McConnell's health from the public to allow him to remain in office long enough to avoid [Kentucky Congressman Thomas] Massie running for his seat.” Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene told TMZ, “Thomas Massie would make a great senator.” The Hill reports that Andy Beshear, the Democratic Governor of Kentucky, sent a letter to McConnell's Senate office strongly requesting an update on the Senator's health, noting that “Over the last several weeks, Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the health and well-being of Sen. McConnell,” and that “Allowing speculation to continue in the media is not fair to the Senator or to Kentuckians, and my hope is that this provides him the opportunity to share the information in a transparent manner, direct from the source.”* In more positive news, AP reports former Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan, who helped an immigrant escape ICE by ushering him through her jury room door was spared prison time in her sentencing this week. After the incident in her court room, Dugan was convicted of felony obstruction in what was widely seen as a political trial designed to exact retribution on behalf of the Trump administration. Dugan resigned her circuit judgeship under this assault; in her resignation letter, she warned that this prosecution threatened “the independence of our judiciary.” Dugan was fined $5,000.* Finally, in spiritual news, a story in the National Catholic Reporter recounts how Pope Leo XIV excommunicated thousands of clergy and followers of the far right, schismatic group, the Society of St. Pius X. While bishops and priests are judged prima facie schismatic for their consecration in the Society, lay followers of the sect will be judged schismatic if they consciously choose “adherence to the society over obedience to the pope,” and “exclusive participation in Lefebvrian ‘ecclesial' acts, without taking part in the acts of the Catholic Church,” a reference to the group's founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. The proximate cause of this excommunication was the Society creating four new bishops in open defiance of Pope Leo, essentially daring the Church to act. This piece notes that the Society “has long been a thorn in the side of Rome,” and notes that the new papal decree rolls back privileges granted to the sect under Pope Francis, including administering the sacrament of penance and solemnizing marriages.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

The Cambridge Five did more damage to the Western Bloc than any other intelligence outfit of the Cold War. They were five Cambridge graduates who drank gin at the right clubs, moved through the right corridors of British intelligence at the height of WW2, and quietly handed Stalin the keys to post-war Europe. Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt, Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, and John Cairncross were recruited for their sympathies to communism because they were radicalized by the wreckage of World War I and the Great Depression. They believed that Soviet communism was the only serious answer. The Five each quickly took up a place in the British government, granting them access to top-secret intelligence that they shared with the USSR, whether decrypted German intelligence obtained from Alan Turing’s Bletchley Park and the Wehrmacht’s latest troop movements, or nuclear designs fresh from Manhattan Project labs. What followed was decades of betrayal so consequential it shaped the entire postwar map of Eastern Europe. They did this not just by passing secrets, but by condemning millions of Poles, Ukrainians, Albanians, and Baltic peoples to Soviet repression when their underground resistance networks were quietly handed over to Moscow. Today’s guest is Antonia Senior, author of Stalin's Apostles, and she explains how she pieced together a story that was designed never to be found, because moles don't leave paper trails, and the Cambridge Five made sure their communications rarely entered any correspondence at all. We see that they did more to cause the Iron Curtain to descend deep into Europe than any other intelligence group.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This episode is a synopsis of the war in the European Theater of Operations. World War II was the biggest catastrophe in the history of the world. Between 1937 and 1945 an estimated 60 to 75 million people were killed. Enormous areas were destroyed. For those who know about certain events, this episode explains how the overall war in Europe occurred.
Der berühmte Plan von Feldmarschall Montgomery für den alliierten Angriff gehört zu den Schlüsselideen des Zweiten Weltkriegs, doch der Weg dorthin war mit unvorstellbaren Opfern gepflastert. In dieser Folge von unserem Podcast tauchen wir tief ein in die dramatischen Ereignisse des Spätwinters 1945. Nach den verheerenden Überschwemmungen der Operation „Veritable“ und dem zähen Ringen im Schlamm standen die kanadischen Truppen im Raum Nijmegen oft auf sich allein gestellt einer unerbittlichen Wehrmacht gegenüber. Um den strategisch entscheidenden Hochwald und die Städte Xanten und Üdem zu erobern, entwarf General Simonds die vierstufige Operation „Blockbuster“. Wir rekonstruieren die nervenzerreißenden Phasen ab dem 26. Februar 1945: vom chaotischen Häuserkampf im kleinen Dorf Moosfeld über den brutalen Panzerkrieg in der berüchtigten „Hochwald-Lücke“ bis hin zur finalen, mühsamen Einnahme von Xanten – einem Kampf, der aufgrund seiner Intensität sogar den Beinamen „Blockbuster II“ erhielt. Gestützt auf persönliche Berichte, Tagebücher und Erinnerungen kanadischer Soldaten beleuchten wir nicht nur die taktischen Manöver, sondern vor allem die menschliche Tragödie hinter den Kulissen. Höre jetzt rein und erfahre, wie diese letzte große Kriegskampagne an der Westfront das Schicksal des NS-Regimes im rheinischen Herzen traf und warum diese dramatischen zwei Wochen, die über 5.300 kanadischen Soldaten das Leben kosteten, bis heute zu den intensivsten Pflichten der Militärgeschichte gehören.
Mehr als 15 Jahre befand sich Lenins Leiche auf dem Roten Platz in Moskau, ab 1930 sogar in einem eigens erbauten Mausoleum. Bis sie nach dem Angriff der deutschen Wehrmacht auf die Sowjetunion dort weg musste.
W czasie II wojny światowej Śląsk to ta część dzisiejszej Polski, w której sytuacja jest jedną z najbardziej skomplikowanych. Większość regionu przed wrześniem 1939 roku należała do Niemiec (potem zostaje wcielony cały Śląsk), więc jego mieszkańcy to obywatele Niemiec. Następuje pobór i muszą iść do wojska i walczyć w Wehrmachcie. Część z nich wchodzi jako armia okupacyjna do rejencji katowickiej. – To jest syndrom tego regionu, że ci, którzy wkraczali jako okupanci, byli jednocześnie tymi, którzy jeszcze 17 lat temu czy wcześniej mieszkali razem, jeżeli już nie w tych samych rodzinach, to w tych samych miejscowościach – opowiada prof. Ryszard Kaczmarek z Instytutu Historii Uniwersytetu Śląskiego. Z prawie pół miliona wcielonych do Wehrmachtu Górnoślązaków i Pomorzan 90 000 zdezerterowało i dołączało do polskich sił zbrojnych na Zachodzie.
Giorgio Ferrari"L'alcova delle spie"Salon Kitty: Sesso e spionaggio nel Terzo ReichNeri Pozza Editorewww.neripozza.itAlla vigilia della Seconda guerra mondiale all'interno di una casa d'appuntamenti in un'elegante palazzina di Charlottenburg si annidava una centrale spionistica. A pochi mesi dall'invasione della Polonia, infatti, le SS avevano allestito nel cuore di Berlino una struttura per intercettare le conversazioni intime dei clienti più altolocati: diplomatici, militari, politici, giornalisti, membri del partito. Da Ciano al ministro degli Esteri spagnolo, da Göring a Goebbels, da Ribbentrop a Speer, dai corrispondenti di testate straniere ai vertici della Wehrmacht, decine di personaggi di spicco passarono per le alcove di quell'accogliente pensione gestita da Kitty Schmidt, una donna ricattata e manipolata dagli uomini del numero due delle SS, Reinhard Heydrich, che accatastarono migliaia e migliaia di registrazioni. Così la Germania nazista spiava sé stessa fra le coltri di una maison rimasta attiva fino all'ultimo, anche sotto le bombe. Il Terzo Reich riduceva la “nobile arte” dello spionaggio a un voyerismo di bassa lega che serviva ai gerarchi in competizione fra loro per spiarsi a vicenda. Mentre gli inglesi avevano da tempo violato Enigma, la macchina cifratrice utilizzata per le comunicazioni militari, la decadente classe dirigente hitleriana preferiva mettersi in coda nella sala degli specchi della casa di appuntamenti di Charlottenburg, in attesa di un'ora di svago fra le braccia di ragazze scelte accuratamente per riferire ogni accenno di critica al regime. I clienti conoscevano quell'indirizzo come Pensione Schmidt. Ma tutti, in omaggio al fascino discreto della sua tenutaria e dei tanti segreti che immaginavano tenesse per sé, finirono per chiamarlo Salon Kitty.Questa è la storia di ciò che accadeva dentro il Salon Kitty, un'elegante casa di appuntamenti trasformata dalle SS in un centro di spionaggio, frequentata fino all'ultimo dalle alte cariche del Reich, dalla diplomazia internazionale, dai vertici della Wehrmacht. Giocò un ruolo fondamentale negli equilibri interni ed esterni del nazismo. E ne rappresentò tutta la decadenza anticipandone la sconfitta.Giorgio Ferrari, inviato speciale e editorialista di Avvenire, è stato corrispondente diplomatico e di guerra per varie testate coprendo per un trentennio le principali vicende internazionali.

El frente del este hizo patentes las limitaciones de los carros de combate alemanes. El T-34 y el KV-1 demostraron que el blindaje y la potencia de fuego de los panzer resultaban insuficientes para enfrentarse a los tanques soviéticos. Mientras las nuevas generaciones de carros salían de los tableros de diseño dando lugar a las familias Tiger y Panther, hubo de echarse mano de soluciones de emergencia para suplir esas carencias. Los cazacarros (panzerjäger) nacieron de la urgencia de la Wehrmacht mientras salían de fábrica los nuevos diseños de panzer en buscar una solución de compromiso. Para ello, instalaron en chasis de modelos obsoletos o capturados, cañones contracarro capaces de neutralizar a los carros rusos. Como la fórmula era barata, se siguieron fabricando con posterioridad a la aparición de los tigers y panthers. Los cañones de asalto nacieron de la necesidad de apoyo directo a la infantería y fueron asimilados por el arma de Artillería. Aparte de esta función, algunos modelos, como el Stug III cumplieron una función sobresaliente como cazacarros.

Hitler och hans soldater var rejält påtända. Fredrik Sjöberg läser om drogernas roll i Tredje riket och funderar över litteratur som kan råda bot på bristande läsförståelse hos pojkar och unga män. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän sändes ursprungligen 2017-01-23.Ett återkommande katastroflarm i samhällsdebatten är den bristande läsförståelse som särskilt utmärker pojkar och yngre män. Problemet är nog ofta överdrivet, men det kan heller inte förnekas, och en mindre armé av pedagoger försöker därför tänka ut hur man ska få pojkarna att läsa lika många böcker som flickorna gör. Lätt är det inte. Eftersom ingen har lyckats fylla tomrummet efter Frans G Bengtsson, erbjuds inte mycket mer än torftiga deckare och biografiska hjälteepos om onaturligt rika män som har lyckats förlänga sin barndom genom att sparka boll.Och allt det där är nog bra, men kanske kräver pojkarnas nu rent epidemiska indolens ändå tyngre doningar, och då är det noga taget bara två typer av böcker som duger: sådana som handlar om Hitler, och sådana som handlar om droger. Bägge dessa ämnen har en förunderligt vitaliserande inverkan också på mycket trötta existenser – så låt oss ett ögonblick tala om den från tyska översatta fackboken Droger i Tredje riket, av Norman Ohler. En svårslagen kombination, en form av litterärt blandmissbruk som lovar att höja läsförståelsen både hos datorspelande hemmapojkar och tröga haschtomtar med större frisyr än förstånd.Redan här bör dock inflikas att Norman Ohler inte är någon muntergök, utan en djupt seriös arkivdykare med ambitionen att vara historiskt objektiv, och att hans bok av det skälet inte riktigt når upp till samma stilistiska nivå som den avlägset besläktade satiren Jägarna på Karinhall, Carl-Henning Wijkmarks debutroman från 1972 – en klassiker som förutom sin rollbesättning av råsupande nazister på kalas hemma hos morfinisten Hermann Göring, även har fördelen av att vara både rolig och djupsinnig samt, inte minst, pornografisk. Den kombinationen slår ingen.Hur som helst, Droger i Tredje riket utgår från tidigare svåråtkomliga dokument som speglar dels användningen av amfetamin inom Wehrmacht och Luftwaffe, dels omfattningen av det drogmissbruk som förvandlade führern själv till en darrande pundare utan större verklighetskontakt. Det är onekligen fascinerande läsning. Skrämmande också, med tanke på att kemisterna knappast har legat på latsidan sen dess och sannolikt kan förse nutidens makthavare och mördarmaskiner med ännu effektivare blandningar av uppiggande och avtrubbande preparat.Den tyska drogindustrin var tidigt världsledande. Opiater hade man sysslat med länge och redan i slutet av 1800-talet lanserade läkemedelsbolaget Bayer en medicin mot hosta och huvudvärk som kallades Heroin. Senare, under Weimarrepubliken, sköt produktionen av morfin och andra opiater i höjden. Bara under ett enda år – 1928 – förädlades närmare 200 ton opium, och vid det laget hade de tyska bolagen även lagt under sig hela 80 procent av världsmarknaden för kokain. Tonvis. Inte var man så noga med restriktioner heller; lagstiftningen hängde inte med i svängarna, så när nazisterna i början av 30-talet formerade sig för en attack mot den unga demokratin, fanns många missbrukare man kunde stigmatisera som depraverat slödder i den förment sunda, ariska staten. Hitler själv gällde för att vara en renlevnadsman, så nu skulle drogträsket saneras. Det gick inget vidare.Som så ofta var det sportfånarna som testade gränserna. Under Berlinolympiaden 1936 nåddes tidigare oanade resultat med hjälp av prestationshöjande medel. Dopning. Framför allt lyckades amerikanerna vinna tack vare en sorts amfetamin som hette Benzedrine. Det var fullt accepterat inom idrotten på den tiden, och tyskarna vill nu inte vara sämre. Redan året därpå hade man utvecklat en mångdubbelt starkare variant av metylamfetamin som kom att kallas Pervitin. Ett uppåttjack av guds nåde, renare och bättre än allt vad den fiktive drogfabrikören Walter White lyckas koka ihop i TV-serien Breaking Bad.Pervitin blev snabbt en folkdrog i Tredje riket. Medlet användes för att integrera simulanter och gnällspikar i arbetslivet, för att motverka depressioner, sjösjuka, klimakteriebesvär, hösnuva och allmän håglöshet. Koncentrationsförmågan stegrades, liksom sexualdriften, och inte behövde man sova så mycket heller, vilket naturligtvis öppnade för användning i det militära. En sovande soldat gör inte mycket nytta. Efter en lagom dos Pervitin kunde man kriga flera dygn i sträck. Dessutom försvann rädslan, andra hämningar också. När Wehrmacht väl hade gjort sin beställning låg produktionen på i runda slängar 800 000 Pervitintabletter – per dag.Amfetaminmissbruket är såklart inte hela förklaringen till de tyska framgångarna i början av kriget, men blixtanfallen i Polen och Frankrike låter sig åtminstone delvis begripas i ljuset av att åtskilliga soldater faktiskt var påtända. Även generalerna. Den ryktbare fältherren Erwin Rommel krossade allt motstånd på västfronten tack vare en för tjackpundaren typisk form av hänsynslös självöverskattning. Först långt senare, i höjd med Stalingrad, började drogbrukets nackdelar bli märkbara.Om allt detta berättar Norman Ohler i sin bok, men till historien hör också huvudpersonen själv, Adolf Hitler, och hans livläkare, sedermera langare, Theodor Morell. Att Hitler mot slutet av kriget behandlades med fullkomligt fantastiska mängder hormoner, steroider och mediciner av alla slag är sedan länge väl känt, men forskarna har hittills varit ovilliga att betrakta honom som narkoman. Snarare har bilden varit att Hitler hade ett pressande jobb, och därför gott kunde behöva lite speed för att komma i form, och att hans vegetariska diet påkallade diverse kosttillskott.Nu framträder en helt annan bild. Av Theodor Morells bevarade anteckningar framgår att han ordinerar allt starkare doser av narkotika, inte bara Pervitin. Särskilt efter attentatet i Varglyan, 20 juli 1944, när Hitler sånär dödades av Claus von Stauffenbergs portföljbomb, behövdes också alltmer smärtstillande, och lugnande. Morell petade i honom duktiga doser kokain, gärna i kombination med Eukodal, ett morfinliknande preparat som gavs intravenöst. Tidvis var patientens vener lika illa åtgångna som på en durkdriven heroinist. Framåt vintern det året, när kriget i praktiken redan var förlorat, var han mycket nära att sluta sina dagar genom en överdos.Hur det sedan gick vet alla. Det nya i Norman Ohlers historieskrivning är tanken att Hitler möjligen inte alls drabbades av Parkinson eller någon annan sjukdom som till sist förvandlade honom till ett kraftlöst vrak, utan att han istället, på vårkanten 1945, kort före självmordet i bunkern, huvudsakligen led av abstinens. Vid det laget hade nämligen de allierade bombat läkemedelsfabrikerna till grus och aska. Och langarens lager av droger var slut.Likt alla tyska författare är Ohler mycket noga med att inte förringa eller bortförklara Hitlers ansvar för krigets bestialiteter, och han befinner sig sålunda, litterärt sett, långt ifrån Frans G Bengtssons lediga legender om brutala hjältekonungar och flugsvampdrogade bärsärkar, så när allt kommer omkring är kanske den bristande läsförståelsen bland pojkar bäst avhjälpt genom att skolbiblioteken köper in klassuppsättningar av Röde Orm. Eller varför inte Jägarna på Karinhall. I alla händelser är Droger i Tredje riket, komplett med register och notapparat, en förnämlig bredvidläsningsbok.Fredrik Sjöberg, författare och biolog LitteraturNorman Ohler: ”Droger i tredje riket – det dopade blixtkriget” (Lind & co), översättning Henrik Lindberg.
85 Jahre nach dem Überfall Hitlerdeutschlands auf die Sowjetunion nimmt die Orwell‘sche Sprachverdrehung hierzulande mittlerweile atemberaubende Züge an. Nach dem „Vernichtungskrieg“, den der „zweite Hitler“ im Kreml seit über vier Jahren angeblich gegen die Ukraine führt, wird nun auch noch größenwahnsinnig eine „bedingungslose Kapitulation Russlands“, eine „Stunde Null“ mit anschließendem Kriegsverbrecherprozess eingefordert.

Ein weitgehend vergessenes Kapitel des Zweiten Weltkrieges: Tessinerinnen und Tessiner unterstützten italienische Partisanen im Kampf gegen den Faschismus. Der Tessiner Historiker Rues spricht im Tagesgespräch mit Iwan Santoro über diese damals verbotene grenzüberschreitende Hilfe in Kriegszeiten. Rund zwei Jahre lang, bis zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, kämpften Partisanen im Gebiet um Domodossola nahe der Schweizer Grenze gegen italienische Faschisten und die deutsche Wehrmacht. Kurz vor Kriegsende entstand dort für wenige Wochen die freie Partisanenrepublik Ossola. Auch Tessinerinnen und Tessiner unterstützten den Widerstand. Sie schmuggelten Waffen über die Grenze und versteckten Partisanen vor den Faschisten. In der neutralen Schweiz war diese Form der Nachbarschaftshilfe jedoch verboten. Viele der Helferinnen und Helfer wurden deshalb bestraft. Mehr als 80 Jahre später sollen sie nun für ihr Engagement offiziell rehabilitiert werden. Der Nationalrat hat bereits zugestimmt. Der Ständerat dürfte der Rehabilitierung nächste Woche zustimmen. Der Tessiner Historiker Raphael Rues hat die Ereignisse in seinem Buch «Kampfzone Ossola» aufgearbeitet. Im Tagesgespräch mit Iwan Santoro erzählt er, wie nah die Wirren des Zweiten Weltkriegs damals an die Schweizer Grenze heranrückten.

Anmeldung zur kostenfreien Online-Lesung mit Christoph Fromm am 11. Juni um 19 Uhr Der Zweite Weltkrieg neigt sich im Frühjahr 1945 dem Ende zu, doch inmitten des Untergangs des Dritten Reiches spielt sich im Geheimen eine der faszinierendsten und außergewöhnlichsten Rettungsaktionen der Geschichte ab. Im tschechoslowakischen Gestüt Hostau bangen Pferdeliebhaber um das Überleben von Hunderten der weltweit wertvollsten Lipizzaner-Pferde, die dort zuvor für nationalsozialistische Zuchtexperimente zusammengetrieben wurden. Da sich von Osten unaufhaltsam die Rote Armee nähert und Berichte über geschlachtete Tiere die Runde machen, treffen deutsche Soldaten eine folgenschwere Entscheidung : Sie riskieren ihr Leben als Überläufer, überwinden die tödliche Angst vor der SS und suchen den Kontakt zum Feind aus dem Westen. Es folgt ein historisches Novum, bei dem die amerikanische Armee und die deutsche Wehrmacht die Waffen niederlegen, um auf derselben Seite für das Leben der edlen weißen Hengste zu kämpfen. Unter dem legendären Befehl von US-General George Patton – „Holen Sie sie! Machen Sie es schnell!“ – formiert sich die Task Force Andrews zu einer dramatischen Evakuierung im echten „Cowboy“-Stil. Diese Folge nimmt dich mit auf eine hochemotionale Reise über blockierte Grenzen, durch gefährliche SS-Linien und hinein in ein filmreifes Abenteuer voller Mut, Menschlichkeit und Empathie, dessen Erbe bis heute tief in der europäischen Kultur verwurzelt ist
Kesselring fue uno de los comandantes más capaces y versátiles de la Alemania nazi. Procedente de la aviación, destacó tanto en la planificación estratégica como en la conducción de operaciones terrestres, desempeñando un papel clave en la Batalla de Inglaterra, el Mediterráneo y, especialmente, en la defensa de Italia. Conocido como el "General Sonriente" por su carácter afable y optimista, supo extraer el máximo rendimiento de fuerzas frecuentemente inferiores en número y recursos. En este episodio analizamos su trayectoria militar, sus éxitos, controversias y legado, para comprender por qué sigue siendo considerado uno de los generales más competentes de la Wehrmacht.

Unglaublich, aber wahr! Hier kommt die 100. reguläre Ausgabe von "Neues vom Ballaballa-Balkan" Die Jubiläumsausgabe schreit natürlich nach einem ganz besonderen Thema. Deshalb widmen sich Krsto und Danijel der vielleicht wichtigsten Epoche der gesamt-jugoslawischen Geschichte: dem VOLKSBEFREIUNGSKAMPF bzw. der NARODNOOSLOBODILAČKA BORBA kurz NOB. Gemeint ist natürlich der vierjährige Kampf der Partisanen unter Führung der Kommunistischen Partei Jugoslawiens gegen Nazi-Deutschland, das faschistische Italien sowie deren regionale Kollaborateure. Eine Mammutaufgabe. Und weil es überhaupt keinen Sinn macht, so ein umfangreiches Thema in eine Podcast-Folge packen zu wollen, ist diese hier nur der Auftakt zu einer neuen TRILOGIE. Folge 100.1. widmet sich den Anfängen des Volksbefreiungskampfes. Warum marschierte die Wehrmacht eigentlich in Jugoslawien ein? Wie wurde das Land aufgeteilt? Und warum gelang es ausgerechnet einer nicht sonderlich großen kommunistischen Partei, die Führung im Kampf gegen Besatzer und einheimische Kollaborateure zu übernehmen? Auf diese und weitere Fragen suchen Krsto und Danijel Antworten. Mit dabei sind die Historiker Hrvoje Klasić (Universität Zagreb) und Klaus Schmider (Militärakademie Sandhurst). Außerdem erfahrt Ihr, wie es möglich ist, dass der Gesandte Gottes abtritt, warum Slowenien nun tatsächlich zum vierten Mal von Mini-Orban Janez Janša regiert werden wird und warum uns das Management von Kriegsverbrecherwitwe Ceca uns mit juristischen Konsequenzen droht.
In dieser Folge werfen wir einen detaillierten Blick auf ein oft übersehenes, aber entscheidendes Kapitel der europäischen Geschichte: Bulgarien im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Wir beleuchten den schwierigen Weg eines Landes, das nach dem Trauma des Ersten Weltkriegs und dem „Diktat von Neuilly“ nach nationaler Identität und Wiedervereinigung strebt. Zwischen den Fronten von Hitler und Stalin stehend, versucht Bulgarien zunächst verzweifelt, seine Neutralität zu wahren. Doch der massive Druck der Großmächte und die Verlockung, verlorene Gebiete wie Mazedonien und Thrakien zurückzugewinnen, führen schließlich zum Beitritt zum Dreimächtepakt. Wir untersuchen die komplexe Beziehung zum Dritten Reich: eine Partnerschaft, die von wirtschaftlichen Vorteilen, aber auch von tiefem Misstrauen geprägt war. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf dem außergewöhnlichen Akt des Humanismus: Trotz der repressiven Gesetzgebung gelang es mutigen Bürgern wie Dimitar Peschev, Vertretern der Kirche und dem bulgarischen Volk, rund 50.000 jüdische Mitbürger vor der Deportation zu retten. Abschließend besprechen wir den dramatischen Seitenwechsel im Jahr 1944, den plötzlichen Tod von König Boris III. und die harten Kämpfe der bulgarischen Armee gegen die Wehrmacht in den letzten Kriegsmonaten. Erfahre, wie dieses „kleine Land mit großem Beitrag“ trotz Zerstörung und dem Verlust territorialer Hoffnungen seine kulturelle Würde bewahrte und den Grundstein für seine komplexe Nachkriegsgeschichte legte.

A la faveur de l'annexion sauvage par le IIIe Reich des trois départements d'Alsace et de Moselle, 130 000 jeunes gens se sont retrouvés incorporés de force et condamnés à se battre sous les couleurs nazies.Des centaines de milliers de jeunes hommes et femmes se retrouvent embrigadés malgré eux dans les rangs de la Wehrmacht et de la Waffen-SS. Face à cette exaction, trois choix s'offrent à eux : la désertion au péril de leur vie, la mutilation volontaire pour être déclarés inaptes, ou la fuite vers la Suisse. Franck Ferrand revient en détail sur ce sombre épisode de l'histoire, des premières incorporations forcées à la reconnaissance tardive du statut de victimes pour ces soldats malgré eux. Il donne la parole à ces hommes et femmes qui ont subi l'horreur de la guerre, entre témoignages poignants et destins singuliers.
Sommaren 1943 stod östfronten i ett kritiskt läge. Efter Stalingrad var det tyska fälttåget i Sovjetunionen hårt prövat, men ännu inte krossat. Adolf Hitler ville återta initiativet i ett avgörande slag vid Kursk i södra Ryssland som omfattade två miljoner man och nästan 6000 stridsvagnar.Operation Zitadelle blev historiens största planerade pansaroffensiv, där tiotusentals stridsvagnar, tusentals flygplan och miljoner soldater ställdes mot varandra i en strid som skulle avgöra kriget på östfronten. Trots tysk teknisk förmåga och initial framgång stelnade offensiven mot de sovjetiska försvarslinjerna. När dammet lagt sig hade Nazityskland förlorat sin sista realistiska chans till offensiv seger i öst.I denna teaser av avsnitt av Historia Nu Premium samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med militärhistorikern Anders Frankson. Anders Frankson har bland annat skrivit standardverket Slaget om Kursk : historiens största pansarslag (2002) tillsammans med Niklas Zetterling. Frankson är aktuell med Achtung panzer! Stalingrad och Charkov – två slag som förändrade andra världskriget. Vill du höra hela avsnittet blir du medlem på https://historianu.supercast.com/Slaget vid Kursk var inte bara ett nederlag i markstrid för Nazityskland – det var en strategisk kollaps. Efter juli 1943 skulle Tyskland aldrig mer kunna genomföra en större offensiv på östfronten. Initiativet låg nu hos Röda armén, som metodiskt började pressa tyskarna västerut – hela vägen till Berlin.Den 22 juni 1941 inledde Nazityskland invasionen av Sovjetunionen under kodnamnet Operation Barbarossa. Offensiven förde Wehrmacht djupt in på sovjetiskt territorium, men logistiska problem, det ryska vintervädret och hårt motstånd bromsade framryckningen. Slaget vid Stalingrad (augusti 1942–februari 1943) blev en katastrof för tyskarna och visade att kriget i öst inte längre kunde vinnas snabbt.Trots detta planerade Hitler en ny sommarsatsning år 1943. Målet var att slå ut den utbuktning i frontlinjen runt Kursk och därmed omringa stora delar av Röda armén. Operation Zitadelle var resultatet av en kompromiss mellan fältmarskalk Erich von Mansteins mer försiktiga strategi och Hitlers krav på ett kraftfullt offensivt genombrott. Idén var enkel: Armégrupp Nord skulle anfalla söderifrån och Armégrupp Syd norrifrån och därefter mötas öster om Kursk för att sluta en kniptång runt de sovjetiska styrkorna.Men beslutet att fördröja anfallet för att invänta leveranser av nya tyska vapen som Tiger- och Panther-stridsvagnar gav sovjeterna tid att bygga upp ett omfattande försvar i djupet med lager av minor, skyttegravar, flera motståndslinjer och stora reserver.Bildtext: Sovjetiska soldater från Voronezjfronten genomför en motoffensiv bakom T-34-stridsvagnar vid Prochorovka den 12 juli 1943, under slaget vid Kursk. Slaget vid Kursk är känt som ett av historiens största pansarslag och markerade en vändpunkt på östfronten under andra världskriget. Prochorovka blev särskilt beryktat för de intensiva striderna mellan sovjetiska och tyska pansarförband.

Im Juli 1943 neigt sich der Zweite Weltkrieg langsam dem Ende zu, während der Status der Unbesiegbarkeit der Nationalsozialisten nach der Niederlage in Stalingrad massiv schwindet. Mit dem „Unternehmen Zitadelle“ wollen die deutschen Machthaber im Kursker Bogen noch einmal einen großen Sieg gegen die Rote Armee erzwingen und die strategische Initiative im Osten zurückgewinnen. Es entwickelt sich zur größten Landschlacht des Zweiten Weltkrieges, in der rund drei Millionen Soldaten und etwa 7.500 Panzer aufeinanderprallen. Trotz einer technischen Überlegenheit der neuen deutschen Modelle wie dem Panther und dem Tiger, die den sowjetischen Standardpanzern in Bewaffnung und Panzerung deutlich überlegen sind, kämpft die Wehrmacht mit massiven Problemen. Während der Panther oft durch technische Defekte und Getriebeschäden schon vor dem ersten Schuss ausfällt, kann der schwere Tiger seine psychologische Wirkung nur entfalten, solange er nicht von der eigenen Truppe isoliert wird. Die Rote Armee hält mit einer gewaltigen Überzahl an T-34 Panzern und spezialisierten „Bestiendreschern“ wie dem SU-152 dagegen, unterstützt durch tief gestaffelte Verteidigungssysteme und eine überlegene Luftstreitmacht. Den Höhepunkt erreicht das Ringen am 12. Juli 1943 bei Prochorowka, wo hunderte Panzer aus nächster Nähe aufeinanderfeuern und sich teils gegenseitig rammen. Obwohl die Kämpfe verlustreich für beide Seiten sind, bricht Hitler die Offensive schließlich ab, woraufhin das Gesetz des Handelns endgültig auf die Sowjetunion übergeht. Die Schlacht wird so zum „Schwanengesang der deutschen Panzerwaffe“: Die Offensivkraft des Heeres ist endgültig gebrochen, und es beginnt eine Ära der deutschen Rückzüge, die das Ende des Krieges einläutet.
Ce jour là, en pleine Seconde Guerre mondiale, Hitler revient d'une visite sur le front de l'Est. À bord de son avion, sans le savoir, une bombe est dissimulée dans sa soute. Le plan est simple et audacieux : provoquer une explosion en vol pour éliminer le Führer et, espèrent les conspirateurs, précipiter la chute du IIIe Reich.Derrière cette tentative se trouve un officier allemand, Henning von Tresckow, membre de la résistance intérieure au sein de la Wehrmacht. Profondément choqué par les crimes nazis, il décide d'agir. Avec ses complices, il introduit un explosif britannique camouflé dans une boîte censée contenir deux bouteilles de liqueur.Le mécanisme repose sur un détonateur chimique : une ampoule d'acide doit se briser, déclenchant une réaction qui amorce l'explosion après un délai d'environ 30 minutes. Tout semble parfaitement calculé. L'avion décolle… mais la bombe n'explose jamais.Pourquoi ? Le froid extrême en altitude aurait ralenti, voire empêché, la réaction chimique. Le détonateur ne fonctionne pas. Hitler atterrit sain et sauf. Le lendemain, dans un geste presque irréel, un complice récupère discrètement la bombe intacte, évitant que le complot ne soit découvert.Cet épisode n'est qu'un parmi plusieurs tentatives d'assassinat contre Hitler. L'une des plus célèbres survient le 20 juillet 1944, lors de l'attentat du 20 juillet 1944 mené par Claus von Stauffenberg. Cette fois, une bombe explose bien dans le quartier général du Führer, la “Wolfsschanze”. Mais Hitler survit, protégé en partie par une table massive qui dévie le souffle de l'explosion.D'autres complots, moins connus, ont également été envisagés : attaques-suicides, tirs à bout portant, sabotage. Mais tous échouent, souvent pour des raisons imprévisibles — timing, hasard, ou simples détails techniques.Ces échecs successifs nourrissent après coup une image presque mythique d'Hitler, celle d'un homme “protégé par le destin”. Une illusion dangereuse, qui renforce son aura auprès de certains partisans.En réalité, ces complots révèlent surtout l'existence d'une résistance allemande courageuse, prête à risquer sa vie pour mettre fin au régime nazi. Beaucoup de ces conspirateurs seront arrêtés, torturés et exécutés après l'échec du complot de 1944.En résumé, le 13 mars 1943 est un moment clé où l'histoire aurait pu basculer. Une simple défaillance technique — quelques degrés de trop en altitude — a suffi à laisser Hitler en vie… et à prolonger de deux années encore l'un des régimes les plus meurtriers du XXe siècle.

Why did Operation Barbarossa fail? For more than eight decades, historians have offered one dominant answer: Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union was doomed from the outset. Vast distances, brutal weather, weak logistics and the overwhelming industrial power of the Red Army ensured that the Wehrmacht never had a realistic chance of success. But what if this familiar verdict is too comfortable — and too simplistic? In Why Barbarossa Failed: Germany and Russia in the Second World War (Helion and Company, 2026), Timothy Manion offers a bold, deeply researched re-examination of the most consequential campaign of the Second World War. Going far beyond the well-worn clichés of “General Winter” and German hubris, Manion places the story in a much longer arc: the evolution of military thought from the age of Napoleon through the catastrophe of 1914–18 and into the highly mechanised, manoeuvre-driven doctrines championed by both Germany and the Soviet Union in the interwar period. Drawing upon a vast range of previously overlooked archival records, Manion demonstrates that both armies entered the war expecting a rapid, decisive campaign — a return to war between generals, not economies. Early German successes seemed to prove them right. But as Manion reveals, the Wehrmacht's apparent mastery of mobile warfare concealed profound flaws in decision-making, command structure and operational logic. Meanwhile, the Red Army —though battered — adapted faster and more its opponent understood. The result is a compelling challenge to the established consensus. Manion argues that Barbarossa did not collapse under the weight of numbers alone: German generalship and operational misjudgement played a far larger part than most accounts allow, while Soviet resilience and strategic learning proved decisive long before Stalingrad. Rich with analytical clarity, packed with detailed campaign studies, and supported by an extensive set of newly published archival maps and figures, Why Barbarossa Failed is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand not only how the 1941 campaign unfolded — but why its outcome shaped the entire course of the war. This is the story of two armies, two visions of modern warfare — and the decision points that sealed the fate of the Eastern Front.Timothy Manion earned dual degrees in mathematics and economics from Boston University. After graduating from Harvard Law School, Manion represented global financial institutions on Wall Street as outside counsel. Not satisfied with traditional explanations for the failure of the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, Manion has undertaken an extensive investigation of the German and Soviet archives. The results of his study overturn the historical consensus on the campaign and are published here for the first time.Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar with research areas spanning Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, Military History, War Studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, and Russian and East European history.

[REDIFFUSION] Bienvenue dans les Fabuleux Destin, le podcast pour découvrir des histoires vraies et étonnantes. Cette semaine, découvrez l'incroyable histoire du couple Lucie et Raymond Aubrac. Véritable héros de la résistance lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ils ont mené des actions dans le but d'informer les différents groupes résistants français permettant aux forces armées de perdurer pendant l'occupation. Proche de Jean Moulin, et d'autres grands noms de la résistance, ils sont des personnages incontournables de cette période historique. Joignez-vous à nous et revivez ce récit au travers de cette saison. Arrestation et torture Le 10 novembre 1942, la Wehrmacht envahit la zone sud, jusqu'ici restée « libre ». Hitler a peur : les alliés du général de Gaulle sont parvenus à s'emparer de territoires stratégiques en Afrique du Nord, tandis que la résistance en zone sud ne cesse de prendre de l'ampleur. Le Führer, craignant que ses ennemis tentent un débarquement dans la région de Toulon, décide de manière unilatérale de bafouer les accords de Montoire et d'étendre son pouvoir sur l'ensemble du territoire français. À Lyon, où Lucie et Raymond Aubrac intensifient leurs activités clandestines, les SS investissent tous les bâtiments officiels. Le réseau « Libération » doit redoubler de vigilance, d'autant qu'il n'a cessé de gagner en importance - devenant le deuxième réseau le plus important de la zone sud.

The Desert Fox legend endures, but how much of it is true?In this landmark 200th episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined once again by military historian and author Peter Caddick Adams to dismantle the enduring myths surrounding one of WWII's most famous — and most misunderstood — figures: Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox.Rommel has long been painted as the daring genius of North Africa and even as a “good German” who stood against Hitler. But how much of that is reality, and how much is myth-making? Paul and Peter dig deep into the legend, the propaganda, and the politics that shaped Rommel's reputation during the war — and long after it.The Strategic Genius? Rommel's early victories in North Africa cemented his reputation, but Peter reveals the other side: his lack of staff training, his tendency to lead like a battalion commander even at army level, and how much his success relied on captured British equipment, Allied weakness, and signals intelligence.The Propaganda Machine Rommel wasn't just lucky; he was a propaganda dream. From his days as Hitler's bodyguard in Poland to his carefully staged desert photographs, he cultivated the Desert Fox image with Nazi backing.Politics and the July Plot Did Rommel oppose Hitler? Peter explains why there's no evidence he joined the July 20th plot — a post-war myth shaped by biography and politics.The Post-War Reinvention After 1945, Rommel was recast as the “clean Wehrmacht” figure NATO needed. Churchill himself called him “a daring and skilful opponent,” sealing the legend.Packed with anecdotes — from a dachshund in the classroom, to Coronation Street's “Rommel the cat” — this milestone episode strips away the myth to reveal the complex man behind the Desert Fox.

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight for a chaotic and entertaining hour dissecting President Trump's strategic—and confusing—interest in buying Greenland. Listeners call in with wild historical anecdotes, from the secret nuclear "city under the ice" at Camp Century to Coast Guard run-ins with Wehrmacht soldiers who didn't know World War II had started. The conversation swerves from the taste of whale meat and giant radioactive vegetables to high-tech "Iron Beam" lasers and the collapse of the Yen. The episode culminates in a hilarious, show-stopping debate over the proper punchline to a joke involving a dying actor: is the cure garlic, chicken soup, or an enema?

Rommel was increasingly critical of Hitler's flawed personality and his callousness regarding troop lives, ultimately dying because he was a respected military professional who commanded the loyalty of the Wehrmacht. Patton repeatedly displayed abusive behavior toward subordinates, physically and verbally, dating back to WWI. While this behavior was problematic, it was also integral to his impetuous, risk-taking style that made him a great armored commander. Montgomery earned the lasting respect of his peers, despite interpersonal conflicts, exemplified by Omar Bradley's simple note, "thanks," left on his grave. Retry
