Two manuscripts in one audiobook: The Weimar Republic and The Treaty of Versailles. How he legally became a dictator by using a democratic process? Or what were the events that led up to his reign of terror? The answers lie in the Weimar Republic. Amid the devastation of World War I, Germany’s monarchy provided no answers. A democratic government seemed the only way to appease Allied nations and solve the many disasters that were already at the country’s doorstep.

But an English girl whose only fortune was her intelligence had no hope of marrying a handsome young German baron—no matter how in love they were.

Der Kampf um Freiheit in Ostdeutschland – Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuks kompromisslose Analyse. 1989/90 erlitt Ostdeutschland einen "Freiheitsschock", das ist die Grundthese dieses Hörbuches. Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk erzählt die Geschichte Ostdeutschlands seit 1990 als Kampf um die Freiheit – ein Kampf, dessen Ausgang richtungsweisend ist für die Zukunft ganz Deutschlands. Er will aufrütteln: zu mehr aktiver Eigenverantwortung, zu einer Abkehr von der eigenen Opferrolle und zu einem Blick auf die Geschichte, bei dem die DDR nicht immer schöner wird, je länger sie her ist.

Es ging rasend schnell. Der Februar 1933 war der Monat, in dem sich auch für die Schriftsteller in Deutschland alles entschied. Uwe Wittstock erzählt die Chronik eines angekündigten und doch nicht für möglich gehaltenen Todes. Von Tag zu Tag verfolgt er, wie das glanzvolle literarische Leben der Weimarer Zeit einem langen Winter wich und sich das Netz für Thomas Mann und Bertolt Brecht, für Else Lasker-Schüler, Alfred Döblin und viele andere immer fester zuzog.

As the “Final Solution” unfolds, a loose network of German military officers, diplomats, politicians, and civilians are doing everything in their power to undermine the Third Reich from the inside: reporting troop movements to the Allies, feeding disinformation to the Nazi high command, plotting to assassinate Adolf Hitler, and more. The Gestapo nicknames this shadowy confederation of traitors the “Black Orchestra.” White Knights in the Black Orchestra is a tautly written, meticulously reported account of men and women heroically resisting Hitler’s ruthless regime.

For most of its existence, German-speaking Europe has been splintered into innumerable states—some substantial and some consisting of just a few Alpine meadows. Its military experience has also been extraordinarily varied: threatened and threatening; a mere buffer-zone, and a global threat. Iron and Blood is a startlingly ambitious and absorbing book. It encompasses five centuries of political, military, technological and economic change to tell the story of the German-speaking lands, from the Rhine to the Balkan frontier, from Switzerland to the North Sea.

Not everyone in war-torn Europe believed in bigotry and hatred. A few human beings remained, hidden and camouflaged within the guise of Nazism and fanaticism. This is the story of one such old man, a railyard, and tiny scraps of paper drifting on the wind, each bearing a desperate last message from the dead. This really happened. It didn't have to happen, but it really, really did.

Monatelang brandete 1945 eine Selbstmordwelle durch Deutschland, die Tausende - Frauen, Männer und Kinder - in den Untergang riss. In welchen Abgrund hatten die Menschen geblickt, dass sie angesichts der Befreiung vom Dritten Reich nur im Tod einen Ausweg sahen? Aus der Sicht derer, die das unfassbare Geschehen selbst miterlebt haben, erzählt der Historiker Florian Huber von dem größten Massenselbstmord der deutschen Geschichte und seiner Verdrängung durch die Überlebenden – ein fesselnder Blick auf die Gefühle der kleinen Leute, die in ihren Untergang marschierten.

A historical romance book set in Germany during the 18th century. In an era defined by fragmented states and the enigmatic Hercynian Forest, "Princess Anikka" transports readers to a world of grandeur and secrecy. Amid the lush, ancient wilderness of Waldavia and its neighboring regions, Princess Anikka's tale unfolds—a young woman of fiery spirit and unwavering resolve, challenging the stifling constraints of courtly life. Romance, political intrigue, and dangerous secrets form a captivating tapestry against the foreboding shadows of the forest. Princess Anikka, governed by her duty-...

In 1945, Germany lay in ruins, morally and materially. The German people stood condemned by history, responsible for a horrifying genocide and a war of extermination. But by 2015 Germany looked to many to be the moral voice of Europe, welcoming almost one million refugees. At the same time, it pursued a controversially rigid fiscal discipline and made energy deals with a dictator. Many people have asked how Germany descended into the darkness of the Nazis, but this book asks another vital question: how, and how far, have the Germans since reinvented themselves?

Dieses Hörbuch bietet eine knappe Gesamtdarstellung des Dritten Reiches auf dem neuesten Forschungsstand. Nach einer Analyse der Faktoren, die den Aufstieg des Nationalsozialismus und die Etablierung der Diktatur ermöglicht haben, ist der größere Teil der Lesung den Jahren von 1939 bis 1945 gewidmet, in denen sich die deutsche Geschichte in eine europäische und welthistorische Dimension ausweitet. Klar und prägnant im Urteil informiert Ulrich Herbert über Hitlers Krieg gegen die Sowjetunion, die deutsche Besatzungsherrschaft in Europa und die Ermordung der europäischen Juden.

For “Liebert Annals in Deutschland, Our German Family History” I’ve compiled the three stories I’ve written about my family’s German roots that are available in Kindle. Also included is family history not previously published, received from my grandmother, Helene, my father Joachim (Joe) and my aunts Rosemarie, and Eva. Where necessary, I’ve added details from my imagination. Although this history is based on real events the book is creative historical nonfiction because some of the details are fabricated.

Seit dem 24. Februar 2022 ringt die Bundesrepublik um ihre Haltung zu Krieg, Rüstung und Militär. Was kann die deutsche Armee? Was muss sie können?

Steeped in history, this psycho-drama and spy-thriller is set against the 1989 Revolution of East Germany and the Fall of the Berlin Wall, as well as the end of World War Two and the Soviet take-over. 60-year old pacifist Klaus Bloederwitz remembers his parents with a fond nostalgia, in spite of being traumatized by their brutal deaths on the eve of his sixteenth birthday during the 1945 Dresden bombings. However, when he finds a way to return to the Past he is horrified to discover that not only had he been a fanatic Nazi in the Hitler Youth but that he was also responsible for his parents...

Als Jean-Paul Sartre mit Simone de Beauvoir im Kranzler-Eck in Berlin Käsekuchen isst, Henry Miller und Anaïs Nin wilde Nächte in Paris erleben, F. Scott Fitzgerald und Frida Kahlo sich in leidenschaftliche Affären stürzen, fliehen Bertolt Brecht und Helene Weigel ins Exil. Genau das ist die Zeit, in der die Nazis die Macht in Deutschland ergreifen, Bücher verbrennen und die Gewalt gegen die Juden beginnt. 1933 enden die "Goldenen Zwanziger" mit einer Vollbremsung.

From Lemberg to Bordeaux is Viennese war reporter Leo Leixner’s account of his front line experiences, from Poland in 1939 to France in 1940. From Lemberg to Bordeaux went through four editions and sold in the hundreds of thousands of copies by 1942. Leixner was assigned to various infantry companies and documents his moves from one to the next. During attacks he was often at the front. Leixner is an engaging writer. He had a doctorate in German literature from the University of Graz, with a thesis entitled Mohammed in German Poetry, and was himself a poet. His battle accounts are almost ...

In the 1850’s one branch of the Moschel family emigrated from Webenheim, Germany, to America. In 2001 a Webenheim resident found the website of a distant American cousin and emailed, “We are family.” That email introduction led to American and German cousins working together to uncover the family history through five centuries, two continents, and two world wars. This is the story of that history and of the newfound relationships which culminated in a reunion in Germany after 150 years of separation between the families.
