Adolf Hitler’s Great War military experiences in no way qualified him for supreme command. Yet by July 1940, under his personal leadership the Third Reich’s armed forces had defeated Poland, Czechoslovakia, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium and France. The invasion of Great Britain was a distinct reality following Dunkirk. Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania had become allies along with the acquiescent military powers of Mussolini’s Italy and Franco’s Spain. These achievements prompted Field Marshal Willem Keitel, the Wehrmacht’s Chief of Staff, to pronounce Hitler to be ‘the Greatest Commander of all time’.

Sutton Publishing | 2002 | ISBN: 0750926074 | English | 232 pages | PDF | 134.48 MB
V-weapons were highly advanced powerful flying bombs and rockets used by Germany against England during the Second World War, causing utter devastation wherever they hit. The V1 flying bomb could travel at speeds of up to 500mph, faster than any Allied fighter aircraft. But far more deadly was the V2, which used highly advanced technology to take off with a liquid-fuelled rocket motor, and flew at more than five times the speed of sound. Extraordinary feats of engineering were needed to store and launch the powerful missiles, and so a comprehensive network of sites was built in Europe, many of which still exist today. Had it not been for the extensive bombing of these sites, the plans to create nuclear V-weapons could have come to devastating fruition. This is the first comprehensive guide in English to the sites that lay behind this deadly operation. Many of these monolithic structures still exist today, despite suffering repeated attempts by Allied bombers to destroy them. This book provides a concise historical background to the development of the weapons technology of the V1 and V2 and the part they played in the Second World War. The author examines in detail how and why each of the storage and launch sites in France, Germany, Holland and Poland were designed and built, the air campaign that followed, and how they were defended against attack. A comprehensive gazetteer reveals what is left to see today of these massive structures at each of the sites.

‘At Victoria station the R.T.O. gave me a travel warrant, a white feather and a picture of Hitler marked ‘This is your enemy’. I searched every compartment, but he wasn’t on the train’. Spike Milligan’s on the march, blitzing friend and foe alike with his uproarious recollections of army life from enlistment to the landing at Algiers in 1943. Bathos, pathos and gales of drunken laughter, and insane military goonery explode in superlative Milliganese.

Free Download Steven Zaloga, Paul Brion (Narrator), "Smashing Hitler’s Panzers: The Defeat of the Hitler Youth Panzer Division in the Battle of the Bulge"
English | ASIN: B07JMFGSSY | 2018 | MP3@64 kbps | ~09:21:00 | 266 MB
In his riveting new book, Steven Zaloga describes how American foot soldiers faced down Hitler’s elite armored spearhead – the Hitler Youth Panzer Division – in the snowy Ardennes forest during one of World War II’s biggest battles, the Battle of the Bulge.
The Hitler Youth division was assigned the mission of the Führer’s Ardennes offensive: Capture the main highway to the primary objective, Antwerp, whose seizure Hitler believed would end the war. Had the Germans taken the Belgian port, it would have cut off the Americans from the British and perhaps led to a second, more devastating Dunkirk. In Zaloga’s careful reconstruction, a succession of American infantry units – the 99th Division, the 2nd Division, and the 1st Division (the famous Big Red One) – fought a series of battles that denied Hitler the best roads to Antwerp and doomed his offensive. American G.I.s – some of them seeing combat for the very first time – had stymied Hitler’s panzers and grand plans.

Free Download Ravensbruck: Life and Death in Hitler’s Concentration Camp for Women by Sarah Helm, Christa Lewis, Tantor Audio
English | 2017 | ISBN: B07119VQ5Q | MP3@64 kbps | 32 hrs 39 mins + EPUB | 893 Mb
On a sunny morning in May 1939, a phalanx of 867 women – housewives, doctors, opera singers, politicians, prostitutes – was marched through the woods 50 miles north of Berlin, driven on past a shining lake, then herded in through giant gates. Whipping and kicking them were scores of German women guards. Their destination was Ravensbrück, a concentration camp designed specifically for women by Heinrich Himmler, prime architect of the Holocaust. By the end of the war 130,000 women from more than 20 different European countries had been imprisoned there; among the prominent names were Geneviève de Gaulle, General de Gaulle’s niece, and Gemma La Guardia Gluck, sister of the wartime mayor of New York. Only a small number of these women were Jewish; Ravensbrück was largely a place for the Nazis to eliminate other inferior beings – social outcasts, Gypsies, political enemies, foreign resisters, the sick, the disabled, and the "mad". Over six years the prisoners endured beatings, torture, slave labor, starvation, and random execution. In the final months of the war, Ravensbrück became an extermination camp. Estimates of the final death toll by April 1945 have ranged from 30,000 to 90,000.

Free Download Mussolini and Hitler: The Forging of the Fascist Alliance by Christian Goeschel, Matthew Waterson, Tantor Audio
English | 2018 | ISBN: B07HCPJGTB | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 32 Kbps / 12 hours and 27 minutes + EPUB | 171 Mb
From 1934 until 1944, Mussolini met Hitler numerous times, and the two developed a relationship that deeply affected both countries. While Germany is generally regarded as the senior power, Christian Goeschel demonstrates just how much history has underrepresented Mussolini’s influence on his German ally.
Goeschel, a scholar of 20th-century Germany and Italy, revisits all of Mussolini and Hitler’s key meetings and asks how these meetings constructed a powerful image of a strong Fascist-Nazi relationship that still resonates with the general public. His portrait of Mussolini draws on sources ranging beyond political history to reveal a leader who, at times, shaped Hitler’s decisions and was not the gullible buffoon he’s often portrayed as. The first comprehensive study of the Mussolini-Hitler relationship, this book is a must-listen for scholars and anyone interested in the history of European fascism, World War II, or political leadership.

Free Download Hitler and Film: The Führer’s Hidden Passion by Bill Niven, Julian Elfer, Tantor Audio
English | 2018 | ISBN: B07CGFFKPV | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 32 Kbps / 8 hours and 28 minutes | 122 Mb
A presence in Third Reich cinema, Adolf Hitler also personally financed, ordered, and censored films and newsreels and engaged in complex relationships with their stars and directors. Here, Bill Niven offers a powerful argument for reconsidering Hitler’s fascination with film as a means to further the Nazi agenda.
In this first English-language work to fully explore Hitler’s influence on and relationship with film in Nazi Germany, the author calls on a broad array of archival sources. Arguing that Hitler was as central to the Nazi film industry as Goebbels, Niven also explores Hitler’s representation in Third Reich cinema, personally and through films focusing on historical figures with whom he was associated, and how Hitler’s vision for the medium went far beyond "straight propaganda." He aimed to raise documentary film to a powerful art form rivaling architecture in its ability to reach the masses.
