Recently declassified information makes it possible for the first time to tell part of the story behind the Cold War intelligence operations of the U.S. Military Liaison Mission (USMLM) to the Commander of the Soviet Army in Communist East Germany. Intelligence collection often led to dangerous encounters with the Soviet and East German armies. On occasion, Allied officers and non-commissioned officers were seriously injured. Before it all ended with the collapse of the Iron Curtain, one French sergeant and one American officer had been killed. Potsdam Mission traces the development of the author into a Soviet/Russian specialist and U.S. Army intelligence officer. The author then relates his own intelligence collection forays into East Germany by taking the reader on trips that include several harrowing experiences and four arrests/detentions by the Soviets Finally, the author describes the challenges and rewards of interpreting at USMLM and comments on the important role played by the Mission in Cold War intelligence.

In April 1945, Hitler’s Reich is on the verge of extinction. Assaulted by Allied bombs and Soviet shells, ruled by Nazis with nothing to lose, Berlin has become the most dangerous place on earth. John Russell’s son Paul is stationed on the Eastern Front with the German Army, awaiting the Soviets’ final onslaught. In Berlin, Russell’s girlfriend Effi has been living in disguise, helping fugitives to escape from Germany. With a Jewish orphan to care for, she’s trying to outlast the Nazis.  Russell hasn’t heard from either of them since fleeing Germany in 1941. He is desperate to find out if they’re alive and to protect them from the advancing Red Army. He flies to Moscow, seeking permission to enter Berlin with the Red Army as a journalist, but when the Soviet’s arrest him as a spy, things look bleak—until they find a use for him that has him parachuting into Berlin behind German lines.

Potsdam: The End of World War II and the Remaking of Europe 1.2

First published in 1979, and now in its 10th edition in German with several revised editions in English, Nemesis at Potsdam is the moving and horrifying account of the expulsion after WWII of 15 million German-speaking men, women, and children from their ancestral homelands in Eastern Central Europe. Over 2 million innocent civilians, mostly women and child, died during the expulsion - one of the worst tragedies of the 20th century. A great amnesia has overtaken the children and grandchildren of the Allied participants, especially in the West. But today the German nation of 80 million includes 15 million Expulsion survivors and their children and grandchildren. No understanding of modern Germany will ever be complete without greater knowledge of this ghastly period in Germany's and the Allies' past. This is an important book on a sensitive subject. it reminds genealogists that not all emigrations are voluntary; and not all immigrants to America came hundreds of years ago. A personal favorite; our strongest recommendation.

At the end of World War II more than fifteen million Germans were driven from their homes in central and eastern Europe. Those who survived the massive migration, which had been set in motion by an international agreement signed at Potsdam in 1945, were crowded into the ruined Reich. Alfred de Zalas writes: "The human misery that accompanied this movement, especially in the years 1945-48, makes up one of the most distressing chapters of twentieth-century history. It is in a sense astonishing that years after the war so little is known outside Germany about this unhappy sequel. Even less has been discussed about the role that the United States in Great Britain played in authorizing the expulsion." In this book he addresses questions largely ignored by historians: How did this extraordinary event come about? Was it necessary for the peace of Europe? To what extent did the Western democracies share in the responsibility? Was their involvement compatible with democratic and humanitarian principles? --- from book's back cover

On April 12, 1945, Franklin Roosevelt died and Harry Truman took his place in the White House. Historians have been arguing ever since about the implications of this transition for American foreign policy in general and relations with the Soviet Union in particular. Was there essential continuity in policy or did Truman's arrival in the Oval Office prompt a sharp reversal away from the approach of his illustrious predecessor? This study explores this controversial issue and in the process casts important light on the outbreak of the Cold War. From Roosevelt to Truman investigates Truman's foreign policy background and examines the legacy that FDR bequeathed to him. After Potsdam and the American use of the atomic bomb, both which occurred under Truman's presidency, the U.S. floundered between collaboration and confrontation with the Soviets, which represents a turning point in the transformation of American foreign policy. This work reveals that the real departure in American policy came only after the Truman administration had exhausted the legitimate possibilities of the Rooseveltian approach of collaboration with the Soviet Union.

Neuware -Der Blick auf Architektur in Potsdam ist nach wie vor auf das Erbe der barocken preußischen Residenzstadt ausgerichtet. Die baulichen Relikte des anderen Potsdam, entstanden in vierzig Jahren DDR, werden hingegen kaum wahrgenommen. Was der neue Staat nach Abrissen von Stadtschloss und Garnisonkirche, ja ganzer Straßenzüge auf dem Boden des ,alten' Potsdam hinterließ, zeigte sich - so die allgemeine Annahme - hauptsächlich in störenden 'Plattenbauten'. Dabei war das Bauen in der Stadt zwischen 1949 und 1990 weitaus vielfältiger. Errichtet wurden sowohl herausragende, 'ostmoderne' Einzelbauten, als auch historisierende Gebäude, die auf den ersten Blick nicht mit der DDR assoziiert werden. Das Buch gibt erstmals einen genaueren Überblick über die stadtbildprägendsten Bauten und Ensembles aus vier sehr unterschiedlichen Jahrzehnten DDR, kontextualisiert diese in die baupolitischen Leitlinien und fragt nach Ihren Besonderheiten - mit Blick auf das Bauen im zweiten deutschen Staat im Allgemeinen und Potsdam im Besonderen. Zugleich bietet es als Architekturführer die Möglichkeit, das andere Potsdam genauer kennenzulernen.Durchgehend bebildert, bislang unveröffentlichtes Archivmaterial, inkl. Stadtplan und Umgebungskarten. 294 pp. Deutsch
