The Old Breed... The Complete Story Revealed brings to life an abundance of new material from the original manuscript of Eugene Sledge's classic memoir With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa.

The result is a flowing narrative that portrays an intimate look at a WWII veteran and his struggles to adapt to civilian life following the war.

In books like this, we attempt to reveal the real truths behind the propaganda we have been taught over the decades. So much of the published history is incorrect or blatantly false, either by error or by design. In the volumes of this book, we rip away the curtain of false information and reveal true history, direct from those who were there. We promised our sources that we would keep these files and stories locked up for 25 years. That time has passed and we now open the books for all.

We have amassed a great many top-secret files over the years and we had promised not to release any of these files for twenty-five years. That quarter century has passed, and we are now able to open them for all to learn. In this, our fourth volume, you will read about: missing Nazi gold, Antarctica, hiding funds for post-war use, 3rd Reich spies in the Western Hemisphere, post war “Black Boats” and much more from secret files. These files have been compiled by actual agents and spies, and released specifically to Sharkhunters. We are sure that you have not read these stories before.

"Hitler and the Secret Alliance is a fantastic journey into the past and, to an extent, the present of the southern half of the Western Hemisphere. Almost everyone has been exposed to some aspects of World War I and II Germany and probably to a lesser extent, South America. However, only a few have delved deeply into the history of southern South America. Readers having an interest in and/or working knowledge of this area of world history from current sources will be amazed how this book puts incidents in perspective and makes the gaps in this history suddenly apparent. For example, the ...

This book was born of a series of documentary films about the German Occupation of the British Channel Islands from 1940 to 1945 entitled The Channel Islands at War (DVD). It is also the fulfilment of an ambition to tell in much more detail than was possible in those documentaries, the true story of those extraordinary years. The Channel Islands were the only British soil to be occupied in the war, the Islanders the only British citizens to fall under German rule. How the Islanders reacted to the invaders has recently been the subject of heated argument and impassioned debate and for very ...

Richard Weithley was a boy of fourteen when the German Occupation of the Channel Islands began in 1940 - and a young man of nineteen when it finished in 1945. Like many of those living through the period, it is something that he will never forget. This book is an enchanting tale of excitement, humour, romance and intrigue. What started as teenage bravado against the Nazi 'authorities' soon turned into life threatening situations and ended with a dramatic escape from a German military prison. A fascinating account of how the author was forced to grow up under the shadow of the swastika, told...

Decades after the end of World War II, the name Ravensbrück still evokes horror for those with knowledge of this infamous all-women’s concentration camp, better known since it became the setting of Martha Hall Kelly’s bestselling novel, Lilac Girls. Particularly shocking were the medical experiments performed on some of the inmates. Ravensbrück was atypical in other ways as well, not just as the only all-female German concentration camp, but because 80 percent of its inmates were political prisoners, among them a tight-knit group of women who had been active in the French Resistance.

Was principled gentleman Winston Churchill also the master of nasty tactics? You bet he was! Winston Churchill had done it all. In the British Army, he had fought in India and Egypt, been under fire, and returned it; he'd killed the enemy. In the Boer War, Churchill was captured, put in a PoW camp, and escaped, surviving behind enemy lines for weeks. He'd invented tanks, floating harbors, grenade launchers; turns out Germans did the worst thing possible... they’d attacked Britain and made Churchill mad. With his back to the wall in 1940, & Nazi invasion imminent, not only did Churchill ...

Gegen das Vergessen. Theodor Plieviers Roman Stalingrad, in 26 Sprachen übersetzt und seit seinem Erscheinen ein Bestseller, ist unbestritten das bedeutendste dokumentarische Epos über den Zweiten Weltkrieg. Es verdankt seine unübertroffene Authentizität dem Umstand, dass Plievier, damals Emigrant in Moskau, die Überlebenden der 6. Armee in Gefangenenlagern interviewen konnte.

In 1945 the United States and Japan fought the largest and most devastating land battle of their war in the Pacific, a month-long struggle for the city of Manila. It was a key piece of the campaign to retake control of the Philippine Islands, which itself signified the culmination of the war, breaking the back of Japanese strategic power and sealing its outcome. In The Battle of Manila, Nicholas Sarantakes offers the first in-depth account of this crucial campaign from the American, Japanese, and, significantly, Filipino perspective.

This is not a novel. This is not a historical account. This is, in fact, the training manual of the S.O.E in World War 2... and not little excerpts (like some authors offer...) this is the whole manual; over 500 pages! This document was the official training manual for every allied spy and counter-espionage agent in World War 2. Written by the S.O.E. (M.I.6), it was soon picked up and used by the American OSS (the originators of the CIA). In great detail, it describes such subjects as Explosives, Fieldcraft, Cyphers, and Propoganda. Great care has been taken to deliver the manual in its ...
