Ya con la amenaza de guerra, los aristócratas, la Gestapo y la Wehrmacht trazan un plan.

This year, Japanese black metal legends Sigh celebrate 35 years of existence. With a career that has seen the release of 12 studio albums, countless worldwide shows, and a relentless dedication to pushing musical boundaries, they have firmly cemented their status as one of the most revered and influential cult acts in extreme metal. To celebrate, Sigh have revisited their 2007 opus, Hangman's Hymn. A compositional powerhouse in its own right, Hangman's Hymn was notably Sigh's first concept album, blending fast 80s thrash metal influences from bands like Wehrmacht, Sarcofago, and Repulsion with classical music—particularly German symphonies. However, Hangman's Hymn was often seen as not fully meeting the band's own standards in terms of execution and production. As a result, frontman Mirai Kawashima took it upon himself to do justice to this at times overlooked masterpiece of intricate songwriting by re-recording it with the current Sigh sound and delivery, under the title I Saw the World's End – Hangman's Hymn MMXXV. It was released via Peaceville on 13th June. Doing the impossible, turning an already iconic album into something even better, Sigh's decision to re-record this beloved record has proven to be a genius move. Not only because its unique style and structure has been made richer and bolder thanks to modern technology, but because a whole new set of listeners are going to experience this album's brilliance for the first time, and it is brilliant. Read our full review here: https://www.gbhbl.com/album-review-sigh-i-saw-the-worlds-end-hangmans-hymn-mmxxv-peaceville/ We spoke with band leader and multi-instrumentalist Mirai Kawashima about Sigh reaching 35 years, looking back at Hangman's Hymn, talking about the decision to re-record it, and so much more.

Jefe del Oberkommando der Wehrmacht durante la guerra, fue uno de los más cercanos a Hitler y sin embargo, despreciado por gran parte de los generales y por la élite política del Reich. Firmó la capitulación el 9 de mayo de 1945. Leon Goldenson le entrevistó en su celda, y defendió a capa y espada su honestidad partiendo de la obediencia ciega como militar y el desconocimiento del los campos de exterminio. Acabó condenado a morir en la horca por crímenes de guerra, crímenes contra la paz y crímenes contra la humanidad.

Operation Barbarossa, launched by Nazi Germany on June 22, 1941, aimed to swiftly conquer the Soviet Union, targeting key cities like Moscow, Leningrad, and Kyiv. Hitler reportedly said a meeting with his generals before the campaign began "We have only to kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down," With German forces advancing up to 200 miles per week in the first two months, it looked like Germany would accomplish this goal, nearly reaching Moscow by August. The operation’s rapid pace saw the Wehrmacht encircle and capture millions of Soviet troops, bringing Germany close to victory, though fierce resistance and logistical challenges stalled their progress short of total conquest. The campaign devastated civilian populations, with millions killed through bombings, mass executions, and starvation policies, particularly in occupied regions like Ukraine and Belarus. The Nazis’ brutal tactics, including the Einsatzgruppen death squads, systematically murdered Jews, Romani people, and others, contributing to an estimated 10-14 million civilian deaths across the Soviet Union by the war’s end. To look at these months of fighting in Eastern Eruope, some of the most devastating times in that region’s history, is today’s guest, Richard Hargreaves, author of Opening the Gates of Hell. The combination of unprecedented, rapid military victories coupled with state-sponsored and spontaneous atrocities makes the opening fortnight of the invasion of the Soviet Union unique in the annals of modern warfare.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That encompasses having watched Casablanca (1942) 157 times. And othermovies. Books. Documentaries. Interviews. Yet, I never encountered a storyquite like Bernd Haber's book, ‘Fritz Haber-The Complete Diary; 16 months in anAmerican POW Camp. Fritz Haber was Bernd's grandfather. In 1931 in Germany, hewas a devout communist and tried to warn about Hitler's new Germany. Nazisdidn't like communists. Eventually, Fritz was conscripted into the Germanmilitary, known as the Wehrmacht. And was captured near the end of the war andspent 16 months in an American POW camp, able to write a diary. Bernd saw thatdiary. He also immigrated to America from East Berlin just after reunification.Bernd is passionate, eloquent, and brilliant. This radiates in this interview.I'm mesmerized by this story and by Bernd. Obvious reasons. Bernd lives inPhoenix, obtained his Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering in Germany, andworks at Worldstrings Promotion, a music agency. This is a rare and specialinterview.” Calvinhttps://www.youtube.com/c/ConversationswithCalvinWetheSpecIEs550 Interviews/Videos  9200 SUBSCRIBERSGLOBAL Reach. Earth Life. Amazing People.  PLEASE SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT**BERND HABER; Author, ‘Fritz Haber; The Complete Diary: 16Months in an American POW Camp' (German Grandfather captured near the end ofWWII); LIVE fr PhoenixA story about how “human destinies can get easily mixed up,”reminding us to pay attention to forces that might interfere with our lives inunexpected ways.YouTube: https://youtu.be/kAWPHuVG2rEBIO: Bernd, grandson of Fritz, was born in East Berlin afterthe Berlin Wall was erected. He grew up in the German Democratic Republic undera Communist ruling government. Bernd attended the Technische Universität inChemnitz, Saxony, Germany, and graduated with a Master's Degree in MechanicalEngineering, with a focus on Manufacturing Process Design and Computer-AidedManufacturing. Very early in his life, he began to show an interest in Germanhistory, music, and modern information technology. When the Berlin Wall,separating East and West Berlin, fell on November 9, 1989, his world radicallychanged - an event that allowed him to embark on a personal journey, eventuallyleading him to move to Phoenix, Arizona, where he lives today.Bernd's move to the United States connects him with Fritzwho served many months in an American POW camp in 1945-1946 after WWII ended.The - what could be called: The Häber Family Trilogy - link between him and hisgrandfather is Bernd's father Herbert Häber who had climbed up in the hierarchyof the East German Communist Party, the SED, and later became a member of thePolitburo in 1984, the political body composed of the highest officials of theparty, state, and security organs. In 1985, Herbert was expelled from thePolitburo due to a staged high-level plot against him. After Germanreunification in 1990, Herbert was indicted and prosecuted for being allegedlyresponsible, as a Politburo member, for some of the killings at the BerlinWall. He faced two related criminal trials at the District Court of Berlinbetween 1995 and 2004.Bernd is the author of several books, such as "LettersTo and From My Senators FLAKE and MCCAIN: How they might have failed to fulfilltheir constitutional obligation", "Tempest - 20th Anniversary",and "The Wondrous Story of Hugo and Matilda". Bernd co-led theSpanish Civil War history project together with Björn Krondorfer - Director,Martin-Springer Institute at the Northern Arizona University called"Stories from the Spanish Civil War" which includes Bernd's greatuncle (and brother-in-law of Fritz) and other International Brigades volunteersfrom the United States, the UK and Canada.

In this episode, we explore the pivotal moments leading up to Operation Sea Lion, examining Hitler's failed "Last Appeal to Reason" speech and the chaotic coordination struggles within the German military. Discover how conflicting priorities between the Wehrmacht branches delayed invasion planning, the critical role of radar in shaping the Battle of Britain, and the strategic miscalculations that shaped the course of the war.

At the start of World War II, France was still a world power. The U.S. and many other nations were relying on the French, along with their ally Britian, to stop Hitler. But in just 6 weeks in May and June 1940, the Germans conquered France, Belgium, and The Netherlands; and drove the British off of continental Europe. The incredibly swift German victory completely changed the balance of power in the world; and woke up the isolationist United States.

Wer in Jersey mit offenen Augen durch die Landschaft geht, sieht überall Landmarken aus Beton. Auf der größten der Kanalinseln im Ärmelkanal wurden Bunker, Peilstände und Befestigungsanlagen vor 80 Jahren von den Deutschen hier zurückgelassen, als die Besatzung durch die Wehrmacht am 9. Mai 1945 nach fast fünf Jahren endete. Heute kann man einige dieser Bauten als Ferienunterkünfte mieten - mit einem atemberaubenden Blick über die Küste und das türkisfarbene Meer. „German Industrial Design“ nennt der Vermieter den Stil, den die gemeinnützige Organisation Jersey Heritage inzwischen mit allem möglichen Komfort für die Gäste verbunden hat. Trotz des hohen Freizeitwerts ist man auch im Sommer oft allein am Strand und trifft auf dem Coastal Path beim Wandern selten auf andere Spaziergänger. Immer noch sind die Kanalinseln eine Art Geheimtipp unter Reisenden. Statt durch ein ausgeklügeltes Tourismuskonzept gelenkt zu werden, darf man hier am Leben des kleinen autonomen Inselstaats, dem Bailiwick of Jersey, teilhaben: das Hauptstadtleben in St. Helier schnuppern, surfen, kayaken und mit dem geliehenen Oldtimer durch die schmalen Gassen fahren. Oder man hält in einer der 30 Meeresbuchten die Füße in die Brandung und schlürft ein paar frische Austern, die vor der Küste sorgsam gezogen werden. Jana Magdanz kennt nach vielen Reisen die Insel wie ihre Westentasche und teilt in Zwischen Hamburg und Haiti ihre liebsten Ausflugsziele. Vor allem aber schwärmt sie von der Freundlichkeit der Einheimischen, die trotz ihrer tragisch geteilten Geschichte mit Deutschland, nichts lieber tun, als mit deutschen Urlaubern darüber ins Gespräch zu kommen.

Giorgio Van StratenSeminare Idee FestivalPrato, dal 6 all'8 giugno 2025Uno spazio dove si incrociano pensieri diversi, trasversali a tutte le discipline, per far nascere una comunità di persone unite dal rito della condivisione, della cultura e delle esperienze, facendo leva sulle più importanti fonti della conoscenza: curiosità, meraviglia e partecipazione.Tre giornate di letture, conferenze, dialoghi e incontri. Grandi nomi della cultura, della scienza e dello spettacolo si ritroveranno a Prato dal 6 all'8 giugno. Il tema della prima edizione è: coraggio.sabato 7 Giugno 2025, ore 10:15Giorgio Van Straten e Walter VeltroniCapitane coraggioseLa Resistenza è stato un momento cruciale in cui gli italiani hanno dovuto decidere da che parte stare. È un periodo su cui vale la pena riflettere, soprattutto a ottant'anni dalla Liberazione. Giorgio van Straten e Walter Veltroni hanno scritto due libri dedicati a due donne che, in quegli anni, hanno preso decisioni coraggiose. Queste donne, seguendo percorsi personali, hanno unito sentimenti e consapevolezza politica, facendo coincidere pubblico e privato, alimentando l'uno con l'altro e accettando i rischi e le conseguenze. Il libro di Giorgio van Straten, “La ribelle. Vita straordinaria di Nada Parri” (Laterza), racconta la storia di Nada Parri, una giovane donna toscana che lascia tutto per unirsi ai partigiani insieme a un disertore tedesco, Hermann Wilkens, di cui si innamora. I sentimenti per Hermann la conducono verso una consapevolezza politica, fino a diventare comunista e, nel dopoguerra, il primo sindaco donna dell'empolese-valdelsa. Walter Veltroni, invece, narra le vicende di Iris Versari nel libro “Iris, la libertà” (Rizzoli). Anche Iris è una partigiana, insieme al compagno di lotta e di vita Silvio Corbari. Morì a poco più di vent'anni nell'agosto del 1944 ed è stata insignita della medaglia d'oro al valor militare alla memoria. Due giovani donne, come molti combattenti della lotta di liberazione, coraggiose e pronte a pagare il prezzo delle loro scelte.Giorgio van Straten (Firenze, 1955) è uno scrittore e dirigente di istituzioni culturali. Dal febbraio 2009 al luglio 2012 è stato membro del Consiglio di Amministrazione della RAI. Dal 2015 al 2019 è stato direttore dell'Istituto Italiano di Cultura di New York. Da gennaio a marzo 2020 è stato writer in residence presso il dipartimento di italiano della New York University dove ha tenuto un corso sul rapporto fra storia e letteratura. Dal 2020 è stato nominato Presidente della Fondazione Alinari per la Fotografia. Tra le sue ultime opere: Una disperata vitalità (HarperCollins Italia, 2022), Invasione di campo. Quando la letteratura racconta la storia (Laterza, 2023) e La ribelle. Vita straordinaria di Nada Parri (Laterza, 2025).Giorgio Van Straten"La ribelle"Vita straordinaria di Nadia Parri.Editori Laterzawww.laterza.itUna grande storia d'amore, vera e tragica come le grandi storie d'amore. La guerra, la Resistenza, la ricostruzione: la storia che travolge le nostre esistenze e le indirizza come un destino.La vita di Nada, donna ribelle e coraggiosa, ci porta a riflettere sulla speranza che ogni generazione, contro ogni apparente ragionevolezza, continua a riporre nel futuro.Nada ha vent'anni, una bambina di due ed è sola. Il marito è partito volontario per la guerra in Africa. La sua famiglia è lontana e nella nuova città dove abita non conosce quasi nessuno. Hermann di anni ne ha quasi quaranta, una famiglia in Germania, è sottufficiale della Wehrmacht e odia Hitler. Si incontrano per caso in un pomeriggio d'inverno a Marina di Carrara e si innamorano. Insieme decidono di fuggire, lei da una famiglia sbagliata, lui da un esercito che da alleato è diventato occupante e invasore. Scappano sui monti e si uniscono ai partigiani. Rischieranno la vita, parteciperanno alla liberazione di Parma, convinti che il futuro sia dalla loro parte. Non sarà così.Giorgio van Straten ci porta sapientemente sulle tracce di Nada e di Hermann, inseguendo persone, documenti, oggetti, fotografie: riaffiora così una storia incredibile e ricca di colpi di scena. Una ricerca che ci fa ‘inciampare' in domande e interrogativi che riguardano tutti: l'amore è una forza capace di travolgerci, anche di farci rischiare la vita stessa? I grandi sogni della giovinezza indirizzano tutta la nostra esistenza o sono destinati a diventare fonte inesauribile di nostalgia e frustrazione? Le cicatrici di esperienze così travolgenti possono essere nascoste e dimenticate?IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Certains font de lui une figure de l'espionnage allié, d'autres le critiquent pour une supposée collaboration avec les nazis, ou encore, le considèrent comme un simple opportuniste, voire un mythomane. Pourtant, à Hollywood, Eric “Red” Erickson, est le grand héros du film Trahison sur Commande, sorti en 1962, l'espion qui a permis d'écourter la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Mais alors, qui est vraiment cet homme qui a transmis, et c'est un fait, de nombreuses informations cruciales à l'OSS ? De son passage en Allemagne en 1944, de ses troublantes transactions avec des industriels nazis, et de ses opérations clandestines, il n'a laissé que peu de traces.Fin 1944, la Wehrmacht est en difficulté. Hitler lance une ultime contre-offensive dans les Ardennes, mais elle repose sur un élément vital : le carburant. L'Allemagne, dépourvue de pétrole, transforme du lignite en essence synthétique dans des usines secrètes. Pourtant, bientôt, les Alliés bombardent ces raffineries avec une précision redoutable, paralysant l'armée allemande.

Certains font de lui une figure de l'espionnage allié, d'autres le critiquent pour une supposée collaboration avec les nazis, ou encore, le considèrent comme un simple opportuniste, voire un mythomane. Pourtant, à Hollywood, Eric “Red” Erickson, est le grand héros du film Trahison sur Commande, sorti en 1962, l'espion qui a permis d'écourter la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Mais alors, qui est vraiment cet homme qui a transmis, et c'est un fait, de nombreuses informations cruciales à l'OSS ? De son passage en Allemagne en 1944, de ses troublantes transactions avec des industriels nazis, et de ses opérations clandestines, il n'a laissé que peu de traces.Nous sommes à la toute fin de l'année 1944. Les troupes de la Wehrmacht, exténuées, reculent sur tous les fronts. À l'Est, l'Armée rouge progresse de manière fulgurante en Pologne. À l'Ouest, les Alliés, après le débarquement de Normandie, libèrent une à une les grandes villes françaises. Pourtant, Adolf Hitler n'a pas dit son dernier mot. Il prépare une contre-offensive d'envergure dans les Ardennes. Ce sera le 16 décembre.

Une saga palpitante sur les derniers mois de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.Juillet 1944. Tandis qu'à l'Est, l'Armée rouge casse définitivement les reins de la Wehrmacht (opération " Bagration") et qu'à l'Ouest, Américains et Britanniques qui piétinaient depuis le Débarquement, percent enfin les défenses allemandes (opération " Cobra"), les chefs alliés sont optimistes : la guerre en Europe sera finie à Noël. Tous se trompent. Elle durera dix mois encore. Les plus coûteux en vies humaines de tout le conflit. Comment l'Allemagne, dont les forces vives – hommes, matériels, infrastructures industrielles, ressources énergétiques – ont été saignées à blanc, a-t-elle pu tenir aussi longtemps ? Pourquoi Hitler, au contraire de Mussolini ou du dictateur roumain Antonescu, n'a-t-il pas été renversé ? Comment l'Union soviétique, dont plus de 20 millions de citoyens ont été exterminés en trois ans, est-elle parvenue, en quelques mois, à recouvrer le terrain perdu et à planter le drapeau rouge au sommet du Reichstag ? Pourquoi les États-Unis passent-ils pour le pays ayant le plus contribué à la victoire sur l'Allemagne alors que sur les 48 millions de morts provoqués par la guerre en Europe, 73 % sont des Russes (16 millions de civils et 9 millions de combattants soit 15 % de la population de l'URSS) et 0,3% seulement des Américains (140 000 morts) ? Même illusion d'optique s'agissant des accords de Yalta (février 1945) et du prétendu " partage du monde " qui en a résulté. Sait-on que ce n'est pas Roosevelt – trop rapidement taxé de complaisance avec Staline – qui a entériné les visées territoriales soviétiques sur l'Europe centrale, mais le très anticommuniste Churchill, cinq mois plus tôt à Moscou, pour préserver la sphère d'influence britannique sur la Grèce et la Méditerranée orientale ? Après tant d'ouvrages écrits sur la Seconde Guerre mondiale, raconter l'histoire de son achèvement européen était nécessaire pour tordre le cou à beaucoup d'idées reçues. C'est l'objet de ce livre dont l'originalité repose sur les angles morts qu'il a choisi d'éclairer, et la force au rare talent d'écriture de son auteur.L'auteur Eric Branca est notre invité en studioDistribué par Audiomeans.

Throughout the war on the Eastern Front, there were two consistent trends. The Red Army battled to learn how to fight and win, while involved in a struggle for its very survival. Butby 1944 it had a leadership that was able to wield it with lethal effect and with far more effective equipment than before. By contrast, the Wehrmacht had commenced a slow process of decline after the invasion of the Soviet Union.Hitler became increasingly unwilling to delegate decision-making to commanders in the field, which had been crucial to earlier success. The long years of fighting had also taken a heavy toll. Thousands of irreplaceable junior officers and NCOs were dead, wounded or prisoners.Renowned Eastern Front expert Prit Buttar expertly brings these contrasting fortunes to life, trends which culminated in the huge battles of Bagration. As this masterful study conclusively shows, in 1944 the Red Army finally puttogether a campaign that utterly destroyed the German Army Group Centre. The Wehrmacht suffered the loss of over 300,000 men killed, wounded or taken prisoner and the Red Army rolled forward across Belarus to the outskirts ofWarsaw. The end of the war was still many months away, and the Germans managed to reconstruct their line on the Eastern Front, but final victory for the Soviet Union was now only a matter of time as a direct consequence of Bagration. About the Author:Prit Buttar studied medicine at Oxford and Londonbefore joining the British Army as a doctor. After leaving the army, he worked as a general practitioner. An established expert on the Eastern Front in 20th-century military history, his most recent titles include the critically acclaimed new history of the siege of Leningrad: To Besiege A City:Leningrad 1941–42 and Hero City: Leningrad 1943–44. He lives in Kirkcudbright, Scotland.

W czerwcu 1940 roku, po zaledwie 6 tygodniach walk, Wehrmacht całkowicie rozbił francuską armię, zajął całą północną Francję i zmusił brytyjskie wojska do panicznej ewakuacji. Tak szybkie pokonanie wojsk alianckich doprowadziło do powstania wielu mitów na temat Kampanii francuskiej i rzekomego tchórzostwa Francuzów. Czy to powszechne przeświadczenie jest zgodne z prawdą? Jeśli nie, to co przyczyniło się do spektakularnej klęski wojsk francuskich i brytyjskich w 1940 roku? O tym opowiadamy w najnowszym odcinku Misji specjalnej RMF FM.

Storbritannien stod ensamt kvar mot Nazityskland efter Frankrikes fall. Adolf Hitler ville egentligen ha fred med Storbritannien, men britterna och premiärminister Winston Churchill valde att fortsätta kämpa.För att kunna invadera Storbritannien behövde Luftwaffe först besegra Royal Air Force (RAF) och etablera luftherravälde. Under flera månader kämpade brittiska jaktflygare i Spitfires och Hurricanes mot det numerärt överlägsna Luftwaffe. Trots svåra förluster lyckades RAF stå emot, och när hösten anlände stod det klart att Tyskland hade misslyckats med att krossa det brittiska försvaret.Detta är det femte avsnittet i en serie av sju om andra världskriget från podden Historia Nu. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia, om Slaget om Storbritannien 1940.Slaget om Storbritannien blev en vändpunkt i andra världskriget. När Frankrike kapitulerade den 22 juni 1940 blev Storbritanniens situation kritisk. Landet stod nu ensamt, med en krigsmakt som var försvagad efter evakueringen vid Dunkerque. De brittiska styrkorna hade förlorat stora mängder tung materiel, inklusive stridsvagnar, artilleri och transportfordon.Churchills beslutsamhet blev avgörande för Storbritanniens motstånd. Trots att vissa inom regeringen, inklusive utrikesminister Lord Halifax, övervägde en fredsuppgörelse, stod Churchill fast vid sin linje. Han ansåg att fred med Hitler endast skulle vara en kortsiktig lösning som på sikt skulle leda till att Storbritannien tvingades leva under Nazitysklands dominans. Hans beslutsamhet stärkte den brittiska moralen och bidrog till att landet stod emot trycket från Tyskland.Tysklands invasionsplan, Operation Seelöwe, byggde på att Hermann Görings Luftwaffe först behövde besegra RAF och neutralisera den brittiska flottan genom flyganfall. Planen var ambitiös men riskabel – transportfartygen var långsamma och sårbara, och utan luftherravälde skulle de bli lätta mål för brittiska bombflyg och örlogsfartyg.Luftwaffes inledande offensiv började i juli 1940 med attacker mot brittiska hamnar och fartyg i Engelska kanalen. Dessa anfall syftade till att locka ut RAF:s jaktflyg och försvaga det brittiska försvaret innan den stora offensiven tog vid. I augusti gick tyskarna vidare till nästa fas: systematiska anfall mot RAF:s flygbaser, radarsystem och logistik. Under dessa veckor var RAF hårt pressat och förlorade många flygplan och piloter. Trots detta lyckades britterna hålla sina radaranläggningar intakta, vilket var avgörande för att kunna förutse de tyska anfallen.Bild: En formation av Supermarine Spitfire Mk I från No. 610 Squadron, baserad på Biggin Hill, under ett uppdrag den 24 juli 1940. Flygplanen, inklusive N3289 ('DW-K') och R6595 ('DW-O'), flyger i den karakteristiska "vic"-formationen som användes av Royal Air Force under Slaget om Storbritannien.

Public Domain.Musik: Wir fahren gegen Engeland av Musikkorpt eines Infanterieregimentes - leitung: B. Ahlers "Wir fahren gegen Engeland" är en tysk marschsång från andra världskriget, känd för sin användning i propagandasyfte. Sången skrevs 1939 av Herms Niel, en av de mest produktiva kompositörerna av tysk marschmusik under det nazistiska Tredje riket. Den användes i samband med Tysklands planer på en invasion av Storbritannien, Operation Seelöwe, men blev även en del av den bredare propagandakulturen inom Wehrmacht.

Ein Vortrag des Historikers Jens-Christian WagnerModeration: Katrin Ohlendorf **********Gedenkstätten sollen an die NS-Verbrechen erinnern. Aber funktioniert das wirklich gut? Da ist Luft nach oben, findet der Historiker Jens-Christian Wagner. In seinem Vortrag erklärt er, warum die Art, wie wir uns erinnern, für unsere Zukunft wichtig ist, und macht Vorschläge für eine nachhaltigere Erinnerungskultur. Jens-Christian Wagner ist Direktor der Stiftung Gedenkstätten Buchenwald und Mittelbau-Dora und Professor für Geschichte in Medien und Öffentlichkeit an der Universität Jena. Seinen Vortrag "Geschichte begreifen - für die Zukunft handeln" hat er am 5. Mai 2025 in Emden gehalten.Dort hatte die Max-Windmüller-Gesellschaft zusammen mit dem Max-Windmüller-Gymnasium zu einer Gedenkveranstaltung eingeladen. Anlass war der 80. Jahrestag der Ermordung von Max Windmüller, einem Widerstandskämpfer, der in Emden geboren wurde, und der nur wenige Wochen vor der Kapitulation der Wehrmacht während eines Todesmarsches am Straßenrand von einem SS-Mann erschossen wurde – im Alter von 25 Jahren. Informationen zur AfD: Das Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz hat die AfD als "gesichert rechtsextremistisch" eingestuft. Die Partei hat in einem Eilverfahren dagegen geklagt. Deswegen hat der Verfassungsschutz eine sogenannte Stillhaltezusage abgegeben und wird die Partei bis zur gerichtlichen Klärung nicht öffentlich als "gesichert rechtsextremistisch" bezeichnen. Die Einstufung wird allerdings nicht zurückgenommen. **********Hörtipp: Was geschah am 8.

Hitlers Selbstmord und die Kapitulation der Wehrmacht am 8.Mai 1945 bedeuteten nicht das Ende des Deutschen Reiches. In der Marineschule Mürwik bei Flensburg agierte noch fast drei Wochen eine Reichsregierung unter Großadmiral Dönitz, den Hitler zu seinem Nachfolger ernannt hatte: Ein bizarrer Spuk mit Kabinettssitzungen, Minister-Denkschriften - und einem Staatsbegräbnis. Auch als die britische Armee das Treiben mit Festnahmen beendete, blieb Dönitz überzeugt, rechtmäßig im Amt zu sein. Von Rainer Volk

Am 8. Mai 1945 schweigen endlich die Waffen. Der vom nationalsozialistischem Deutschen Reich 1939 entfachte Zweite Weltkrieg ist zu Ende. Mit der bedingungslosen Kapitulation der Wehrmacht endet das millionenfache Blutvergießen-zumindest in Europa. Doch auch ohne Führer, Krieg, Bomben und Propaganda beginnt für die Zivilbevölkerung in Deutschland eine harte Zeit.

Der 8. Mai 1945 beendet offiziell die Nazi-Herrschaft, die Europa und viele weitere Teile der Welt über Jahre hinweg in Schrecken versetzt hat. Bis kurz vor der bedingungslosen Kapitulation der Wehrmacht verüben Nationalsozialisten – aber auch gewöhnliche Bürger – teils unfassbare Verbrechen an Gefangenen und der Zivilbevölkerung. Hans Rauscher, Kolumnist beim STANDARD und Experte für österreichische Zeitgeschichte, erklärt die Vorgänge während der letzten Tage des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Tanja Traxler, Leiterin des Ressorts Wissenschaft beim STANDARD, liefert Erzählungen aus dieser Epoche.

Heute vor 80 Jahren endete der Zweite Weltkrieg in Europa. Die deutsche Wehrmacht kapitulierte bedingungslos. Ein Gespräch mit dem Direktor des Museums Berlin-Karlshorst, dem Ort der Kapitulation. Die weiteren Themen: · Warum kommen deutlich weniger Menschen über Fluchtrouten in die Europäische Union? In den ersten drei Monaten dieses Jahres hat es ein Drittel weniger solcher Einreisen gegeben als noch im Vorjahr. Das zeigen Zahlen von Frontex, der Grenz- und Küstenwache an der EU-Aussengrenze. · Am Sonntag wählt Albanien ein neues Parlament - und einen neuen Präsidenten. Die letzten drei Mal hiess der Sieger Edi Rama. Am Sonntag tritt der Sozialist zum vierten Mal an. · Ein bislang wenig beachteter Faktor trägt massgeblich zur Verbreitung von Treibhausgasen bei: Verlassene Kohleminen oder alte Öl- und Gasquellen, die nicht mehr in Betrieb sind. Ein neuer Bericht der Internationalen Energieagentur zeigt, dass verlassene Infrastruktur die Umwelt massiv belastet. · WeightWatchers meldet Konkurs an. Das Geschäftsmodell zu Beginn: Kundinnen und Kunden sollten abnehmen, indem sie Punkte zählten und so ihre Kalorienzufuhr im Blick hatten. Mittlerweile ist WeightWatchers eine App, aber das Geschäft scheint nicht mehr richtig zu funktionieren. Warum nicht?

After the fall of France in 1940, the clergy welcomed Marshal Pétain as a saviour. But when Jewish people started being rounded up in the summer of 1942, Protestant pastors and Catholic clerics spoke out against the deportations. Their words broke the silence of the institutions and encouraged the Resistance, while schools and convents opened their doors to Jewish refugees. In the spring of 1940, the French army was defeated by the Wehrmacht, and Marshal Pétain agreed to collaborate with the occupying forces. Among the measures taken by his Vichy-based government was the "status of Jews", on October 18. The law excluded Jews from public life and many foreign Jewish refugees were also rounded up in internment camps.As early as the summer of 1940, some French people were compelled to commit to a moral and spiritual Resistance.This was the case of Pastor Roland de Pury in Lyon, who declared from the pulpit on July 14: "France would be better off dead than to sell itself."His words echo the sentiments of Bruno de Solages, rector of the Institut Catholique in Toulouse, who took in refugees from all over Europe, issuing them with student cards to enable them to obtain false papers and go underground.Yet the real turning point came in the summer of 1942, when the large roundups began. Volunteers working in the internment camps near Toulouse alerted the archbishop to the mistreatment of the Jewish people, as they were directed on foot into cattle cars. Monseigneur Saliège wrote a letter, which he sent to be read aloud in every church in his diocese, denouncing the deportations and appealing to Christian morality.In Lyon, on the night of August 28-29, 1942, the Amitié Chrétienne association organised the largest rescue of Jewish children in France, thanks to the protection of Cardinal Gerlier, Archbishop of Lyon. Cardinal Gerlier, who had supported Marshal Pétain in 1940, refused to hand over the children to the Prefect of Lyon, who was directing the deportations. Spiritual power in defiance of the powers that be: the Lyon Resistance amplified this act, making it a pivotal event.Cardinals Saliège and Gerlier were not targeted by the authorities because of their age and rank in the Church, but many men and women of the cloth were arrested for their moral Resistance. Roland de Pury spent more than five months incarcerated at Fort Montluc in Lyon. Others, such as Solages and three priests from the Institut Catholique in Toulouse, were sent to camps in Germany. They wrote first-hand accounts of their deportation in a collective publication entitled "Pèlerins de bagne" or "Pilgrims of the penal colony". Many of their fellow prisoners never returned.

Jest 5 maja 1945 roku. Wokół położonego w Austrii zamku Itter gromadzą się oddziały Waffen-SS, które mają zdobyć twierdzę i zlikwidować wszystkie osoby przebywające wewnątrz. Naprzeciw nim stają amerykańscy żołnierze, wspierani przez żołnierzy Wehrmachtu, austriackiego oficera SS i kilkunastu Francuzów, wśród których jest dwóch byłych premierów Francji. Skąd w Zamku Itter znaleźli się francuscy politycy? Jak doszło do tego, że Amerykanie walczyli ramię w ramię z Wehrmachtem przeciwko SS-manom? W najnowszym odcinku Misji specjalnej odsłaniamy kulisy starcia, określanego mianem jednej z najdziwniejszych bitew II wojny światowej.

Music was an integral part of statecraft and identity formation in the Third Reich. Structured thematically and semiotically around the Wagnerian tetralogy of the Ring cycle, Hitler's Twilight of the Gods: Music and the Orchestration of War and Genocide in Europe (U Toronto Press, 2025) provides a sonic read of the Second World War and the Holocaust. Alexandra Birch sheds light on the specific type of music promoted under Nazism, linked to larger Teutonic mythologies and histories espoused in rhetoric and personal styling. The book explores the musical fixation of the command as it was extended to the ordinary troops of the Wehrmacht and SS in instances of musical sadism and destruction during the Holocaust. It reveals how, in constructing what was "German," this process also intentionally fashioned a subaltern other with an assigned set of music and aesthetics. The book draws on analysis of testimony and perpetrator documents to reveal the execution of this binary identity and the inclusion of music even in extreme genocidal conditions. From drinking games in the interwar period, to musical sadism in the Holocaust, to the final delusions of the command in collapse, Hitler's Twilight of the Gods illuminates how music was a component of camaraderie, identity, masculinity, and warfare.

Claus von Stauffenberg est l'héritier d'une famille allemande aristocratique. En 1943, alors qu'il sert en Afrique du Nord, une opération dangereuse lui coute son bras droit, deux doigts de la main gauche et l'un de ses yeux. Il est convaincu que s'il a eu la vie sauve, c'est pour débarrasser l'Allemagne d'Hitler. Intégré comme chef d'État-major, il participe régulièrement à des réunions militaires en sa présence. Le 20 juillet 1944, il passe à l'action et dépose une mallette chargée d'explosifs au pied du Führer, avant de s'éclipser. Convaincu qu'il vient de tuer Hitler, il rejoint l'aéroport et s'envole pour Berlin afin de lancer l'opération Walkyrie. Seulement, Hitler a survécu. Alors que la nouvelle se répand, l'armée se retourne contre les officiers conjurés. Jugé en urgence, Von Stauffenberg est fusillé avec ses complices. Le 20 juillet 1944, une poignée d'officiers allemands rebelles a bien failli tuer Hitler. Au sein même de la Wehrmacht, les membres de l'opération Walkyrie sentent que le Führer mène le pays à sa perte. Dans un récit inédit, Virginie Girod vous plonge au cœur de l'histoire de ce complot contre le régime nazi. Distribué par Audiomeans.

In August 1941 Army Group North of the Wehrmacht approached the suburbs of Leningrad, as St. Petersburg was called. Within days the city was surrounded, and would remain so for nearly two and a half years. The suffering endured by its residents was horrifying and included widespread cannibalism. But this is a city of art, architecture, literature, music and dance, the home of Alexander Pushkin and a place of revolution. Joining to discuss St. Petersburg is author Sinclair McKay, author of a new book as we discuss the window to the west through the prism of the siege.

By April 1945, Soviet forces stood at the gates of Berlin. From the summer of 1944, Hitler's armies had suffered a series of cataclysmic defeats that had left them shattered and desperately trying to hold on in front of the capital of the Third Reich. But how the Soviets' been able to bring the once mighty German Army to the brink of total defeat, and did the Wehrmacht have one last throw of the dice to save the Nazi regime?In this episode, Dan is joined by Professor Evan Maudsley, author of Thunder in the East: The Nazi-Soviet War 1941-1945 and former Professor of International History at the University of Glasgow. Evan helps Dan explore the stark differences in the narrative of World War II's final months across Western and Eastern Europe. They also discuss the key events from Operation Bagration in June 1944 to the Soviets' advance on Berlin in 1945 and how these tie in with the advance of the Western Allies. Also, could Stalin's strategic decisions have brought the war to an end sooner, and what did Hitler's last offensive in Hungary reveal about the dictator's priorities?Produced and edited by Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

Fritz Häber, The Complete Diary: 16 Months in an American POW Camp by Bernd Häber Amazon.com Worldstrings.com 16monthsaspow.com Examining history through family archives frequently complicates our understanding of the past. This complexity is heightened when descendants encounter diverse forms of testimonial evidence from a bygone era—whether it be a photograph, an object, postcards, official documents, or a diary—and undertake the challenging endeavor of deciphering the meaning of these personal remnants within the broader context of historical events. This diary stands apart from the typical World War II narratives found in documentaries, textbooks, and retellings, often providing only the highlights and a broad overview. For readers seeking a genuinely fresh and intimate perspective on the physical war and psychological war that unfolds beneath the surface, this real-life account offers an insightful and comprehensive experience. This is the story of Fritz Häber, a young German father who grappled with the dual responsibilities to his family and country. His reflections provide personal insights that extend beyond him to encompass broader global perspectives. Forced to serve in a Nazi anti-aircraft unit near Munich during WW2, he later endured 16 months imprisoned in an American POW camp. Fritz Häber begins his diary with this dedication: “I dedicate these pages to my wife and my children of whom I hope are still alive and whom to find well when I return from captivity… May these lines serve my wife in the future as a compensation for the long time during which she knew nothing about my well-being, and for the children to serve as an example of how human destinies can get easily mixed up.” Stories such as his prompt an exploration of our family histories and their untold narratives. They illuminate themes of resilience and survival, morality and choice. Even when these tales harbor discomfort or controversy, they possess the power to enlighten us and offer valuable guidance for our present actions. His steadfast and unyielding belief in his survival gave him the faith that he would be reunited with his family one day. Having endured physical and emotional challenges, his story is a timeless, powerful source of inspiration 75 years later and will resonate with future generations. From the author: n this book, which is both a diary and a memoir, you will meet my grandfather, Fritz Häber. As a child, he was just my grandpa, a jovial, vigorous, warmhearted man, whom I would visit during the occasional holiday vacation. It was only later when contentious, life altering, family events were revealed to me that I realized Fritz had served in Hitler's Wehrmacht during WWII, one of the most tumultuous and violent time periods of world history. I had so many questions. Although his part in this global drama can be considered minor, he extensively documented his experiences and shared his astute reflections on everything from human psychology to political philosophy. Like many history buffs, I have spent countless hours reading about high level diplomacy and watching documentaries that detail the technical and military aspects of war, but it was not until reading Fritz's diary that I could fully imagine both the momentous decisions he made and the drudgery of being a reluctant soldier. Fritz, an antifascist, not only warns “human destinies can get easily mixed up” during war, but also reminds us to pay attention to forces that might interfere with our lives in unexpected ways. I am excited to now share his story with you. About the author Bernd, grandson of Fritz, was born in East Berlin - after the Berlin Wall was erected. He grew up in the German Democratic Republic under a Communist ruling government. Bernd attended the Technische Universität in Chemnitz in Saxony/Germany and graduated with a Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Process Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing.
