Walters G: Stealing Hitler's Rocket / LF

Stealing Hitler's Rocket

The Incredible Mission to Smuggle a V-2 Rocket out of Nazi-Occupied Europe to Britain

Palgrave Insights into Apocalypse Economics

This book reassesses classic Marxist theories of finance capital and uneven development in the context of the present intensified process of financialization and the accentuation of combined and accelerating uneven development. In particular, the work of Hilferding and Luxemburg is discussed and re-framed in light of both the contributions of Marx and more recent engagements by David Harvey and Neil Smith. The book explores the case of South Africa in particular in light of the combination of a rapidly financializing yet crisis-ridden South African political economy on the one hand and intensifying social inequality and political conflict on the other.&nbsp;It explores a series of strategies and possibilities that might open up trajectories for change and transformation with particular attention paid to the promises and constraints of the de-growth movement and intersectional class struggle, which will appeal to political economists, researchers, and students alongside those studying South Africa specifically.

Financial Volatility, Deep Capitalist Crisis and Super-Exploitation in South Africa and the World

Extreme Uneven Development

Die Feldpostbriefe Eduard Kleins, welcher Truppenarzt der 35. Infanteriedivision der Wehrmacht war, liefern aufschlussreiche Einblicke in den Vernichtungskrieg, den das Deutsche Reich gegen die Sowjetunion führte. Sie unterscheiden sich von vielen anderen Feldpost-Veröffentlichungen durch die Schilderungen aus unmittelbarer Frontnähe und Kleins festen Glauben an den Nationalsozialismus, den er immer wieder zum Ausdruck bringt. Die Briefe wurden während des Vormarschs auf Moskau und des ersten deutschen Rückzugs im Winter 1942 geschrieben. Durch die Kontextualisierung mit anderen Quellen gelingt es David W. Wildermuth, diese Dokumente geographisch, militärisch und zeitgeschichtlich zu erschließen und ihnen auch die Perspektive der Opfer entgegenzustellen. So entsteht das konturierte Bild eines von der NS-Ideologie geprägten Menschen, der den Vernichtungskrieg oft in verblüffender und schonungsloser Ehrlichkeit beschreibt und teils konspirativ beschweigt.

"Als Nationalsozialist und Frontsoldat"

WINNER of 75th Nation­al Jew­ish Book Award: Biography Finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize 2026'FIVE STARS ... Magnificent' Telegraph 'Compulsively readable' Financial Times 'Gripping and timely' The Times 'Crackingly told' Philippe Sands 'A kind of masterclass' Sebastian JungerTHE NEW BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING, COSTA PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE VOLUNTEERThe true story of a Jewish lawyer who returned to Germany after WWII to prosecute war crimes, only to find himself pitted against a nation determined to bury the past.At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large. The Allies were ready to overlook their pasts as the Cold War began, and the horrors of the Holocaust were in danger of being forgotten.In The Prosecutor, Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer, a gay German Jew who survived the Nazis and made it his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in the genocide. In this deeply researched book, Fairweather draws on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews to immerse readers in the dark, unfamiliar world of postwar West Germany where those who implemented genocide run the country, the CIA is funding Hitler's former spy-ring in the east, and Nazi-era anti-gay laws are strictly enforced. But once Bauer lands on the trail of Adolf Eichmann, he won't be intimidated. His journey takes him deep into the rotten heart of West Germany, where his fight for justice will set him against his own government and a network of former Nazis and spies determined to silence him.In a time when the history of the Holocaust is taken for granted, The Prosecutor reveals the courtroom battles that were fought to establish its legacy and the personal cost of speaking out. The result is a searing portrait of a nation emerging from the ruins of fascism and one man's courage in forcing his people--and the world--to face the truth.

*Shortlisted for Footnote x Counterpoints Writing Prize* A moving and personal memoir telling the story of a family grappling with trauma and identity in the wake of the Holocaust.A finely honed journey across time and place, affecting and powerful, and deeply relevant for our times.' - Philippe Sands'Simon Weisz's evocation of heartless mid-twentieth-century Europe, as public and private worlds so devastatingly collide, is compelling; his account of the jarring miscomprehensions between himself and his parents, as the evasions and false comforts mount up, is poignantly tragi-comic; and his staunchly unsentimental portrait of his glamorous mother - victim, monster, human - is masterly and deeply moving.' - David Kynaston'A beautifully written memoir full of startling vignettes... a vivid portrait of Holocaust survival, rich with postwar period detail. A compelling story' - Jewish Chronicle'Striking... a subtle, loving and poignant portrait.'- Matthew Reisz, Times Literary Supplement*********************For the first eighteen years of Simon Weisz's life his parents were at pains to keep their past concealed from him. All he knew for sure was that they had grown up in Hungary and that they had arrived in Britain after the Second World War. It was only as he reached manhood that they started to confide their carefully guarded secrets to him: that they were Jewish, and that his mother had experienced the appalling horrors of Nazi persecution.In conversations over the following decades, Simon's mother gradually, often reluctantly, revealed more of her past: from the growing oppression her family had had to endure in the late 1930s, to her deportation first to Auschwitz and then to Ravensbrück, to the brutal death march she withstood from the ruins of Berlin in 1945. As he pieced her testimony together, Simon came to realise how the memories she had fought so hard to suppress continued to haunt her in the form of terrifying flashbacks and moments of extreme frustration and anger. And he started to understand how her concealed trauma had, in turn, shaped his own development and the course of his life.Himmler's Curtains is both a visceral account of a Holocaust survivor's experiences, and an impressive study of the impact of suffering on two generations of a family. It also movingly reveals the high psychological price exacted by silence.

DD-214 to Dollars

A major reassessment of the British government's communication of the goals of the Second World War and how its propaganda undermined the people's faith in the reliability of war news and the credibility of political leaders.

While waging war against enemies overseas, governments also need to win the hearts and minds of their own citizens. The media is critical to delivering the official message, raising public support for war, maintaining morale, spelling out what is to be achieved, downplaying setbacks, and presenting a bright vision of the postwar future. ln public memory, the British people were united in their support for the Second World War. Yet this popular image of the People's War neglects the fact that the war had to be sold.
 
In this work stretching from appeasement in 1938 through victory, award-winning historian Steven Casey examines how media, government, and armed forces worked to convince the British public to support the war, as well as the ways the British home front often questioned and challenged the official line. Using a vast array of primary sources, some of them previously untapped, he looks at the broad range of problems and policies that needed to be defended and explained, censored and concealed. The venues range widely from the battlefield to the football field, from the rubble-strewn cities of blitzed Britain to the faraway outposts of Empire. ln his chronological narrative of the war, Casey shines light on numerous high-profile episodes, including Munich and Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain and the Blitz, evacuation and rationing, and the campaigns in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Throughout, Casey stresses how the British military forged a relationship with reporters, how this relationship shaped news coverage of the fighting, and how this coverage in turn exerted a profound impact on every other dimension of the government's private and public actions. No one before has examined how all the branches of the armed services kept the home front informed about progress and especially setbacks. Officials, Casey argues, failed to communicate effectively with the British people, which undermined public trust and called the credibility of the political leadership into question. Remarkably, the BBC and Fleet Street sometimes relayed German communiqués to the public because the British government failed to release timely reports of its own. 
 
The Sceptic Isle provides a bold reassessment of how the British government sold the Second World War to the British public. It powerfully showcases how the attempt to mould and manipulate coverage of battles created a major credibility gap that cast a long shadow over the British government's efforts to sell the different dimensions of the Second World War to the home front.
