The Luftwaffe and the War at Sea 1939-1945 As Seen by Officers of the Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe


Free Download David C. Isby – The Luftwaffe and the War at Sea 1939-1945: As Seen by Officers of the Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe
Chatham Publishing | 2005 | ISBN: 1861762569 | English | 296 pages | PDF | 139.17 MB
The Luftwaffe and the War at Sea provides an unrivaled look at struggle for control of the sea in the European theatre from the point of view of the German offices – Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe – that fought it. The contributing authors were involved in all aspects of German attempts to control the seas, from the use of Ju-87 Stuka dive-bombers in the invasion of Norway to the missions of FW-200 Kondors in cooperation with the U-boat campaign against Britain’s Atlantic lifelines. These reports were either written as secret reports during the war for the benefit of the Oberkommando der Luftwaffe – the Air Force General Staff – or were written immediately after the war when most of the German High Command were prisoners of war or working for the US military. While they lacked the full story of the Allied efforts against them, these reports had the immediacy of either being prepared in wartime or soon afterwards. The book also benefits from having been written specifically for an audience well-versed in naval and aviation affairs: Luftwaffe generals or the US military. The detail contained is unique and allows the reader a fresh perspective on these famous campaigns.

Brazilian Foreign Relations 1939-1950


Free Download Brazilian Foreign Relations 1939-1950 By Gerson Moura
2013 | 379 Pages | ISBN: 8576314347 | PDF | 5 MB
At the recollections of Gerson Moura’s 20th decease year, the Brazilian society welcomes the results of his brilliant doctoral thesis in an important moment of challenges derived from globalization. It is an essential text in the comprehension of the Brazilian history, during the tough years of World War II and its aftermath; thus, the work enables readers to understand that the decisions of international policy can be made in accordance with human value. Gerson Moura is one of the main references when it comes to Brazilian Foreign Policy and, especially, regarding one of the most traditional bilateral relations of Brazil: the United States. Some expressions coined by Moura in his work, like "autonomy by dependence" or "negotiated alignment", are part of the discipline’s conceptual framework, as if they were intrinsic to it. For translating Brazilian foreign relations in an enriching way, and explaining to students and researchers diversified foreign policy strategies adopted during several governments, Moura is so recognized and acclaimed. In the 20th anniversary of his untimely death, the Alexandre de Gusmão Foundation releases, in Portuguese, his doctoral thesis, presented in 1982 in the UK: "Brazilian foreign relations: 1939-1650 : the changing nature of Brazil-United States relations during and after the Second World War".
