[Library Edition Audiobook CD in sturdy Vinyl case.] [Read by Mark Meadows] The untold story of the man who brought a mastermind of the final solution to justice. May 1945. In the aftermath of the Second World War, the first British War Crimes Investigation Team is assembled to hunt down the senior Nazi officials responsible for the greatest atrocities the world has ever seen. One of the lead investigators is Lieutenant Hanns Alexander, a German Jew who is now serving in the British Army. Rudolf Höss is his most elusive target. As kommandant of Auschwitz, Höss not only oversaw the murder of more than one million men, women, and children, he was the man who perfected Hitler's program of mass extermination. Höss is on the run across a continent in ruins, the one man whose testimony can ensure justice at Nuremberg. Hanns and Rudolf reveals for the very first time the full, exhilarating account of Höss' capture, an encounter with repercussions that echo to this day. Moving from the Middle Eastern campaigns of the First World War to bohemian Berlin in the 1920s to the horror of the concentration camps and the trials in Belsen and Nuremberg, it tells the story of two German men -- one Jewish, one Catholic -- whose lives diverged and intersected in an astonishing way.

Hanns Alexander was a German Jew serving in the British Army and assigned, in May 1945, to the search for Nazi war criminals. Harding's narrative follows him as he tracks Rudolf Hoss, the Kommandant of Auschwitz, through war-ravaged Germany.

Hanns Eisler Edition Eisler - CD 5029365943024

Eisler's role in German music is similar to that of Brecht in German literature and the two men worked together for nearly thirty years. Together with Webern and Berg, Eisler is considered one of the three great pupils of Schoenberg. Albrecht Betz divides Eisler's life and music into four periods. The early formative period as student of Schoenberg includes compositions written in Vienna up to 1925. From 1926 to 1933, the second period, Eisler lived in Berlin and made his greatest impact with his political vocal music. The third phase of Eisler's life, fifteen years of exile, was spent principally in the USA, and the fourth (from 1948) in East Germany. The author shows how Eisler is distinguished from other great twentieth-century composers in his belief that music had a social function, and how he liberated modern music from what he and others felt was its isolation. Originally published in German in 1976, this English edition is illustrated with music examples and includes a complete list of works, and a bibliography which has been adapted for the English-speaking reader.

The true story of Hanns Scharff, master interrogator of the Allied fighter pilots captured by the Germans.

This is the story of Hanns Scharff the master interrogator of the Luftwaffe who questioned captured American fighter pilots of the USAAF Eighth and Ninth Air Forces in World War II. This Intelligence Officer gained the reputation as the man who could magically get all the answers he needed from the prisoners of war. In most cases the POWs being interrogated never realized that their words, small talk or otherwise, were important pieces of the mosaic Hanns Scharff was constructing for the benefit of Germany\s war effort. In the words of one erstwhile POW; "What did Scharff get from me? Nothing, yet there is no doubt he got something. If you talked about the weather or anything else he no doubt got some information or confirmation from it. His technique was psychic, not physical." Another POW commented, "Hanns Scharff could probably get a confession of infidelity from a Nun!" They are right. To this day ex-POWs fret and worry over what they said or even might have implied during their interrogations, and over what use Scharff may have made of their slip-ups. This book delves into the question: What was this magic spell or formula used by Scharff which made prisoners drop their guard and converse with him even though they are conditioned to remain silent? The tortures and savagery of the North Koreans and North Vietnamese caused prisoners to resist to the death. Hanns Scharff\s methods broke down barriers so effectively that the USAF invited him to speak about his methods to military audiences in the United States after World War II. Raymond Toliver is also the author (with Trevor Constable) of Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe (available from Schiffer Publishing Ltd.).

Neuware -1977 erreichte der Linksterrorrismus der Roten Armee Fraktion in der Bundesrepublik eine bislang unbekannte Dimension. Mit den Morden an Dresdner-Bank-Chef Jürgen Ponto, Generalbundesanwalt Siegfried Buback und Arbeitgeberpräsident Hanns Martin Schleyer sowie der Entführung des Passagierflugzeugs »Landshut« tritt eine zweite, zu äußerster Brutalität entschlossene Generation der RAF auf den Plan. Zugleich setzt mit den Selbstmorden von Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin und Jan-Carl Raspe in Stammheim die erste Generation einen die Republik erschütternden Schlusspunkt. Vor dem Hintergrund der Entstehung der Terrororganisiation und mit Blick auf die weiteren Anschläge bis zur Selbstauflösung erzählt Butz Peters die dramatischen Ereignisse des Schlüsseljahres 1977.Die packende Geschichte, die Butz Peters in diesem Buch erzählt, endet nicht mit dem Jahr 1977, sondern reicht bis in unsere Zeit hinein: Erst im Lauf der Jahrzehnte stellte sich heraus, was damals tatsächlich geschah. Die juristische Aufarbeitung des komplexen Tatgeschehens beschäftigt seit vierzig Jahren die Justiz, und noch nie war die Quellenlage so gut wie heute. Grundlage für dieses Buch sind Gespräche mit Zeitzeugen und Dokumente: Gerichtsurteile, Erklärungen von RAF-Mitgliedern und -Aussteigern, Vernehmungsprotokolle, polizeiliche Ermittlungsberichte, Anklageschriften, Erklärungen in Prozessen von Angeklagten und Zeugen sowie Publikationen. Auch die RAF-Stasi-Verbindung ab Ende Juli 1980 wird durchleuchtet. Aus vielen Mosaiksteinen ergibt sich so ein genaues Bild der Ereignisse von 1977, die die Geschichte der Bundesrepublik bis heute prägen. 576 pp. Deutsch

herausgegeben vom Bundesministerium des Innern und vom Bundesarchiv. Wissenschaftliche Leitung Helmut Altrichter, Bernd Faulenbach, Hanns Jürgen Küsters.

Eleven leading filmmakers collaborated on this protest against Fascist tendencies in West Germany by reflecting on the tragic events of autumn 1977, when public official Hanns Martin Schleyer was kidnapped and murdered by the Baader-Meinhof group, whose members mysteriously died in prison. The contents of this quasi-documentary, omnibus film range from an elegiac sequence of the burial of the prisoners to newsreel clips of Rommel's cortege and a fictitious argument among TV executives about a co
