The rise and fall of the Third Reich has been a source of revulsion and fascination since the close of the Second World War. The images of the concentration camps; Hitler's hypnotic oration; and the vast Nuremberg rallies are seared into the collective consciousness. However, it is important that we understand the complex circumstances which allowed this particular branch of fascism to flourish. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
These fascinating images reveal life and death in Hitler's feared special forces unit during World War II.
The ruthless Brandenburgers were known for using captured uniforms and fluency in other languages to disguise themselves as enemy soldiers and carry out spy missions abroad.
One such soldier, Sepp de Giampietro, wrote a first-hand account which has now been translated in to English for the first time.

This book covers the background of Stauffenberg from his early life, right up until his execution at the hands of those who were still loyal to their Fuhrer. I found this publication both informative and engaging, which almost makes you feel as if you were there during the Assassination attempt on the 20th July 1944 and the executions of those involved including Von Stauffenberg’s death on the 21st July 1944 by firing squad which was carried out in the Courtyard of the Bendlerblock in Berlin. Venohr who was around 19 during the war has written an excellent book and has really taken on the urgency Germany was experiencing trying to end the war before more lives were lost and Hitler was adamant on if he was to fall, the Fatherland and all in it should fall with him also.

★★★★ An interesting look at the indoctrination of girls and young women in Nazi Germany with many interview extracts in their own words as the women looked back on their lives from around the year 2000. They showed great courage in speaking out, especially in the final sections of the book which deal with the very harrowing accounts of what happened when the Soviet army moved into Berlin and committed countless atrocities particularly against the female inhabitants. It was also interesting to learn to what degree the Nazis reversed their own doctrines which confined girls to a future of housework, childcare and cooking when it suited them: suddenly the girls had to learn to fire rocket launchers at tanks or, if they were able, to become sharpshooters. Cynically, the leaders of the regime cowered in the Hitler Bunker while sending children and young people out into the streets of Berlin to fight the Soviet soldiers. They had also earlier sent them against the American.. Read more
