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).

How the Islanders reacted to the invaders has recently been the subject of heated argument and impassioned debate and for very ...

Germany Through the Ages: A Story of Power, Culture, and Change When you think of German history, do the world wars come to mind first?

German-speaking lands were once home to different kingdoms and empires with a rich culture. For hundreds of years, German lands were part of the Holy Roman Empire—a group of states in Central Europe that French writer Voltaire joked was “neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.” It wasn’t until ...

It’s even more astounding when you consider that at the end of World War II, every major German city (and many minor ones) had been flattened by the Allied bombing campaign. Still more amazing is that the country has gone from international pariah and home of the Holocaust to one of the most well-regarded and humanitarian nations on Earth.

Considered one of the finest tanks of WWII, the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger tank killed 11.52 tanks for every one Tiger destroyed in battle.
