Voices from the Third Reich by Dennis E. Showalter

The compilers of this volume draw upon the memories of 157 German witnesses - from SS men to concentration-camp victims, from teenage Nazis to resistance activists. The material contained in this book is divided chronologically into four sections, each of which is prefaced by an historical note. In the epilogue, the compilers argue that National Socialism owed its origins to German need and to German problems, that hindsight alone makes it easy to blame the Germans for embracing the positive virtues of Nazism and that the strength of the generation of Germans must also be measured by the way that they rebuilt two Germanies after the war. ...Show more

$15.00 NZD

Category: Second World War | Reading Level: very good

The woman of Bletchley Park have a unique story to tell. Although critical to the success of the project to break the German and Japanese codes in the Second World War, their contribution has been consistently overlooked and undervalued. Through unprecedented access to surviving veterans, this boo reve als how life at 'The Park' and its outstations was far removed from the glamorous existence usually portrayed. The women speak vividly of their lives in the 1930s, why they were selected to work in Britain's most secret organisation, and the challenges of re-entry into civilian life. Forbidden to talk about their vital war work, they often found it hard to adjust to the expectations of both their immediate families and society as whole. By spending time with these fascinating female secret-keepers who are still alive today, Tessa Dunlop captures their extraordinary journeys into an adult world of war, secrecy, love and loss. Through the voices of the women themselves, this is a portrait of life at Bletchley Park beyond the celebrated code-breakers. The Bletchley Girls is the story of the women behind Britain's ability to consistently outsmart the enemy. ...Show more
