The Hitler Conspiracies
Author: Richard J. Evans
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0241413478
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
'Brilliant, a 5 out of 5 masterpiece' Evening Standard The renowned historian of the Third Reich takes on the conspiracy theories surrounding Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, in a vital history book for the 'post-truth' age The idea that nothing happens by chance in history, that nothing is quite what it seems to be at first sight, that everything that occurs is the result of the secret machinations of malign groups of people manipulating everything from behind the scenes is as old as history itself. But conspiracy theories are becoming more popular and more widespread in the twenty-first century. Nowhere have they become more obvious than in revisionist accounts of the history of the Third Reich. Long-discredited conspiracy theories have taken on a new lease of life, given credence by claims of freshly discovered evidence and novel angles of investigation. This book takes five widely discussed claims involving Hitler and the Nazis and subjects them to forensic scrutiny: that the Jews were conspiring to undermine civilization, as outlined in 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion'; that the German army was 'stabbed in the back' by socialists and Jews in 1918; that the Nazis burned down the Reichstag in order to seize power; that Rudolf Hess' flight to the UK in 1941 was sanctioned by Hitler and conveyed peace terms suppressed by Churchill; and that Hitler escaped the bunker in 1945 and fled to South America. In doing so, it teases out some surprising features these, and other conspiracy theories, have in common. This is a history book, but it is a history book for the age of 'post-truth' and 'alternative facts': a book for our own troubled times.

Killing the SS
Author: Bill O'Reilly
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
ISBN: 1250165547
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller (October 2018) Confronting Nazi evil is the subject of the next installment in the mega-bestselling Killing series As the true horrors of the Third Reich began to be exposed immediately after World War II, the Nazi war criminals who committed genocide went on the run. A few were swiftly caught, including the notorious SS leader, Heinrich Himmler. Others, however, evaded capture through a sophisticated Nazi organization designed to hide them. Among those war criminals were Josef Mengele, the “Angel of Death” who performed hideous medical experiments at Auschwitz; Martin Bormann, Hitler’s brutal personal secretary; Klaus Barbie, the cruel "Butcher of Lyon"; and perhaps the most awful Nazi of all: Adolf Eichmann. Killing the SS is the epic saga of the espionage and daring waged by self-styled "Nazi hunters." This determined and disparate group included a French husband and wife team, an American lawyer who served in the army on D-Day, a German prosecutor who had signed an oath to the Nazi Party, Israeli Mossad agents, and a death camp survivor. Over decades, these men and women scoured the world, tracking down the SS fugitives and bringing them to justice, which often meant death. Written in the fast-paced style of the Killing series, Killing the SS will educate and stun the reader. The final chapter is truly shocking.

The Berkut
Author: Joseph Heywood
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1493016806
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 497
Book Description
A lost classic by beloved novelist Joseph Heywood that helped put the writer on the map, THE BERKUT begins at dusk as SS Colonel Gunter Brumm parachutes silently through the sulphuric haze in the smoldering ruins of Berlin, past the Soviet troops that encircle the skeleton that the city has become in April 1945. With the precision and skill that has marked his brilliant military career, Brumm has completed the first stage of a simple yet seemingly impossible mission: to evade the Allied forces swarming over Europe and to smuggle "Herr Wolf," the greatest war criminal of the twentieth century, to safety. Less than twenty-four hours later a special Russian team snakes its way into Berlin's city limits, headed for the Reich Chancellery. It is led by Vasily Petrov, "the Berkut"—named after the Russian eagles trained to hunt wolves, a man handpicked by Stalin himself for his ability to track down his quarry and driven by the knowledge that failure means certain death. THE BERKUT is a classic story of pursuit, of hunters and the hunted, that pits two elite teams against each other—both of them brave, resourceful, of great physical prowess and so fully motivated that only the winners will survive. Scores of other characters populate this engrossing thriller: priests, deserters, partisans, Nazis on the run, Swiss guides, Austrian refugees—as well as a larger-than-life OSS operative who is the only person among the hundreds of thousands of Allied troops in Europe who realizes that Herr Wolf is not only alive but on the verge of escaping justice. Joseph Heywood's novel is a story of enormous conviction and urgency, made even more compelling for being based on facts that have yet to be proven fiction.

The Search for 'Gestapo' Müller
Author: Charles Whiting
Publisher: Sapere Books
ISBN: 9781800559790
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
An account of disappearance of Heinrich Müller, chief of Hitler's Gestapo and a major Nazi war criminal, and the international efforts to bring him to justice. The Search for 'Gestapo' Müller is the perfect book for readers of Peter Longerich, Volker Ullrich and Ian Kershaw. While many of the leading Nazi war criminals were either dead or forced to stand trial at the Nuremberg Trials following the Allied victory in the Second World War, some managed to evade justice. Many of these despicable men who had escaped were tracked down across the globe and brought to trial in the years after the war. Gestapo Müller, however, was never found. But how was he able to evade retribution for so long? Charles Whiting, World War Two veteran and renowned historian, has written a book that is part history and part detective story. Whiting discusses how Müller rose from being a typical Bavarian policeman to become leader of the Nazi Gestapo in 1936, before uncovering what happened to him after he was last definitely seen in Hitler's underground bunker in Berlin in April, 1945. Through in-depth research, Whiting meticulously exposes the numerous theories that surround the disappearance of Müller. Did he die in Berlin? Or was he able, like his subordinate Adolf Eichmann, to escape? And were there potential cover-ups by both East and West regarding his later whereabouts and activities? The Search of Gestapo Müller reveals one of the greatest mysteries of the twentieth century.
