Neuware - Bei diesem Buch handelt es sich um das erste umfassende deutschsprachige Werk über das Flieger-Kappmesser der deutschen Wehrmacht. Die Entwicklungs-geschichte des legendären Rettungs- und Kampfmessers bis hin zur letzten Bundeswehrversion wird detailliert -beschrieben. Beginnend mit der Solinger Metallwaren-Fabrik werden alle Hersteller vorgestellt, die dieses Messer bis Ende der 1960er-Jahre produzierten. Für den Sammler von höchstem Interesse ist die Darstellung der insgesamt 28 verschiedenen originalen Modelle und auch der beiden bekannten Fälschungen. Informationen über den Einsatz des Kappmessers bei der Truppe runden dieses Werk ab. In mühevoller Kleinarbeit war es dem Autor möglich, bisher kaum bekannte Details über die Truppenversuche des Heeres im Winter 1943/44 und über die anschließende Verwendung bei den deutschen Skijägern zu rekonstruieren. Die enthaltenen Zeitzeugenberichte bestätigen den bewussten Einsatz des Messers als effiziente Nahkampfwaffe. Seltene Aufnahmen zeigen das Flieger-Kappmesser im Gebrauch durch die Soldaten der deutschen Wehrmacht.

Fachbuch aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Sonstiges, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Auf dem alten Startplatz des ersten deutschen Motorflugplatzes Berlin-Johannisthal wurde am 29. Juni 1930 ein Fliegerdenkmal aufgestellt und eingeweiht. Später, zur Eröffnung des Luftfahrtmuseum 1932, wurde der Stein an die Eingangshalle des Museums nach Adlershof verlegt. Wir haben versucht Material von diesem Ereignis zusammenzutragen und zu dokumentieren. Diese Dokumentation reiht sich in die bereits vorhandenen Hefte ein, die von uns über den Flugplatz Johannisthal über den Zeitraum 1909-1914 geschrieben worden sind.

Officially a part of the Luftwaffe, Germany's parachute units were organized into the 7th Flieger Division in July 1938 under General Kurt Student. In the German invasion of France and the Low Countries in 1940 the parachute units stunned the world and laid the basis for an airborne mystique that has endured to the present day. The division also fought in Norway, Greece and Crete before surrendering in Italy in 1945. Each Spearhead title includes an evaluation of the units combat effectiveness as seen by the unit, its opponents and subsequent researchers, and a research section including a bibliography and a listing of museums, websites, re-enactment groups and memorials.

J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbitt", "The Lord of the Rings" and "Silmarillion" have long been recognized as among the most popular fiction of the 20th century, and most critical analysis of Tolkien has centred on these novels. Granted access by the Tolkien estate and the Bodleian Library in Oxford to Tolkien's unpublished writings, Verlyn Flieger uses them here to shed new light on his better known works, revealing a new dimension of his fictive vision and giving added depth of meaning to his writing. Tolkien's concern with time - past and present, real and "faerie" - captures the wonder and peril of travel into other worlds, other times, other modes of consciousness. Reading his work, we "fall wide asleep" into a dream more real than ordinary waking experience, and emerge with a new perception of the waking world. Flieger explores Tolkien's use of dream as time-travel in his unfinished stories "The Lost Road" and "The Notion Club Papers" as well as in "The Lord of the Rings" and his shorter fiction and poetry. Analyzing Tolkien's treatment of time and time-travel, Flieger shows that he was not just a mythmaker and writer of escapist fantasy but a man whose relationship to his own century was troubled and critical. He achieved in his fiction a double perspective of time that enabled him to see in the mirror of the past the clouded reflection of the present. "A Question of Time" places J.R.R. Tolkien firmly in the mainstream of modern writers, and should appeal to anyone interested in imaginative fiction.

A major contribution to the growing body of Tolkien scholarship With the release of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy and forthcoming film version of The Hobbit, J. R. R. Tolkien’s popularity has never been higher. In Green Suns and Faërie, author Verlyn Flieger, one of world’s foremost Tolkien scholars, presents a selection of her best articles―some never before published―on a range of Tolkien topics. The essays are divided into three distinct sections. The first explores Tolkien’s ideas of sub-creation–the making of a Secondary World and its relation to the real world, the second looks at Tolkien’s reconfiguration of the medieval story tradition, and the third places his work firmly within the context of the twentieth century and “modernist” literature. With discussions ranging from Tolkien’s concepts of the hero to the much-misunderstood nature of Bilbo’s last riddle in The Hobbit, Flieger reveals Tolkien as a man of both medieval learning and modern sensibility―one who is deeply engaged with the past and future, the regrets and hopes, the triumphs and tragedies, and above all the profound difficulties and dilemmas of his troubled century. Taken in their entirety, these essays track a major scholar’s deepening understanding of the work of the master of fantasy. Green Suns and Faërie is sure to become a cornerstone of Tolkien scholarship.

As well this book demonstrates, from an historical perspective, that the knife bears testament to the high level of German technology that emerged during the 1930s. Innovative, ergonomic, and of the highest quality, it truly stands far above its contemporaries. The FKm is, undeniably, a state-of-the-art knife from its time.
