Heinz Wiesenhöfer voksede op i det fremstormende Nazityskland i 1930’erne og blev som soldat i Hitlers Luftwaffe indlemmet i det kolossale militærapparat, da han i 1941 var 19 år og allerede uddannet ingeniør. "Heinz i Hitlers Luftwaffe" indeholder optegnelser og vidnesbyrd fra et land, som havde tabt 1. Verdenskrig, hvorfor mange ønskede oprejsning. Under nazisternes fremmarch i ’Det Tredje Rige’ lærte alle tyskere at tro på en bedre fremtid, hvor ingen ville sulte, hvor alle fik uddannelse eller arbejde, og hvor Tyskland ville udvikle sig til en stærk stormagt. Ganske få så, hvilken fanatisme, manipulation, vanvid og død, nazisternes ideologi medførte. Klarsynet kom for de fleste først, da løbet var kørt. I denne bog skriver Heinz om sin opvækst, uddannelse og involvering i krigen, om lemlæstelse og om at slå ihjel for at overleve. Og også om en stormende forelskelse i en dansk pige. Heinz fortæller, at han var glad for ved krigens afslutning ikke at vide, hvad fremtiden skulle bringe. Heinz ønsker på ingen måde nogen gentagelse af denne epoke, og det er i den ånd, hans vidnesbyrd nu kommer frem. Susanne Kragh (f. 1957) er bank- og kontoruddannet og arbejdede på folkeregisteret i København, da Heinrich ’Heinz’ Wiesenhöfer i 2008 ønskede hjælp til at finde en dansk pige, han mødte under Anden Verdenskrig. Susanne Kragh, der altid har haft en stor interesse for historie, har med bogen ”Heinz i Hitlers Luftwaffe” hjulpet med at formidle Heinz’ spændende fortælling.
Hitler's Last Witness
This memoir of Hitler’s personal bodyguard presents “convincing first-person testimony of the dictator’s final desperate months, days and hours” (Huffington Post). After being seriously wounded in the 1939 Polish campaign, Rochus Misch was invited to join Hitler’s SS-bodyguard. There he served until the war’s end as Hitler’s bodyguard, courier, orderly, and, finally, as Chief of Communications. On the Berghoff terrace, he watched Eva Braun organize parties, observed Heinrich Himmler and Albert Speer, and monitored telephone conversations from Berlin to the East Prussian Headquarters on July 20, 1944—after the attempt on Hitler’s life. As the Allied forces closed in, Misch was drawn into the Führerbunker with the last of the faithful. He remained in charge of the bunker switchboard as his duty required, even after Hitler committed suicide. Misch knew Hitler the private man. His memoirs offer an intimate view of life in close attendance to Hitler and of the endless hours deep inside the bunker. They also provide new insights into military events—such as Hitler’s initial feeling that the 6th Army should pull out of Stalingrad. Shortly before he died, Misch wrote a new introduction for this English-language edition.
The Luftwaffe Over Germany
“A wonderful book on the Luftwaffe’s WW2 operations (German Air Force) and its struggle to defend Germany from the Allied bomber attacks.” —FSAddon The Luftwaffe over Germany tells the story of one of the longest and most intense air battles in history. The daylight air struggles over Germany during World War II involved thousands of aircraft, dozens of units, and hundreds of aerial engagements. Until now, there has been no single book that covers the complete story, from the highest levels of air strategy to the individual tales of Fw 190s, Bf 109s and Me 262s in air combat against the American bomber streams. This ground-breaking work explores the detrimental effect of Luftwaffe theory and doctrine on the German air arms ability to defend the homeland once the Allied Combined Bomber Offensive began in earnest. By mid-1944, they had lost the battle—but had exacted a terrible price from the Americans in the process. The product of a ten-year collaboration between two noted Luftwaffe historians, this work fills a major gap in the literature of World War II. The authors have examined original war diaries, logbooks, doctrine manuals, after-action reports, and interviews with many combat veterans to produce a richly detailed account. Illustrated with nearly two hundred photographs, as well as new maps and diagrams, this is the standard work on the subject. “Looking for a better book on the German air defense of the Third Reich in daylight during the war would probably be a useless endeavor.” —A Wargamers Needful Things
