Story
Mellan 1940 och 1945 genomled världen några av de värsta åren mänskligheten någonsin har skådat. Medan kriget härjade runtom i Europa lyckades Sverige alltjämt hålla sig utanför det. Det berättas bland annat om episoder då Sverige var en hårsmån från att hamna i stridsbehandlingar med Storbritannien och om jakten på den norske kungen. Trots att Sverige lyckades hålla sig på behörigt avstånd från kriget, är det viktigt att komma ihåg att landet trots detta varken var passivt eller neutralt.

Story
Nicht weit des ostpreußischen Rastenburg, des heutigen Ketrzyn in Polen, befand sich ein zentraler Ort des Zweiten Weltkriegs: das »Führerhauptquartier Wolfsschanze«. Dort verbrachte Adolf Hitler nach dem Angriff auf die Sowjetunion den Großteil seiner Zeit. Dort wurde über die systematische Ermordung der europäischen Juden entschieden. Dort ereignete sich am 20. Juli 1944 das Stauffenberg-Attentat, das der Diktator nur leicht verletzt überlebte. Auf der Basis von Zeitzeugnissen und bislang unveröffentlichten Dokumenten rekonstruiert Felix Bohr den Alltag in der »Wolfsschanze«.

Thousands of miles away from where her son was deployed, a powerful premonition is devastatingly confirmed by a knock on the door from two faceless strangers bearing the news that her son had stepped on an improvised explosive device in the poppy fields of Afghanistan. He had lost both of his legs and suffered multiple other injuries, including partial amputation of all the fingers of his left hand. For forty-eight days she stood at his bedside.

In diesem Tagebuch steigen wir wieder in das Cockpit eines Jagdflugzeuges. Luftkämpfe, Abschüsse und der Verlust von Kameraden zeichnen den Weg dieses Jagdfliegers, der 1943 seinen ersten Feindflug im Osten erlebte und dann schnell lernen musste, wie die Deutsche Luftwaffe sich zu Tode siegte. Dieser Erlebnisbericht schildert schonungslos die Strapazen und Härten, die diese jungen Männer in der Blüte ihres Lebens durchstehen mussten und zeigt auch die katastrophalen Versorgungsengpässe in der Luftwaffe und die teilweise überstürzten Rückzüge an der Ostfront.

The United States in the mid-1800s boiled with conflict and promise. The bloody Civil War raged. A ruminating President sat in the White House. William Gould Raymond (“W.G.”) was as complicated as the times. His life a mosaic of faith, addiction, health setbacks, his sprawling family, service as a Union Army officer, and then as a Lincoln-appointed hospital chaplain. W.G.’s place in history, though, stands as the initial commanding officer responsible for raising what would become the 1st United States Colored Troops (U.S.C.T.) of the District of Columbia.
