How was it an entire cultured nation allowed their children to be
raised by a political party with an ideology of hate? Stories of
the fanatical bravery of the young men and children of the Reich on
the battlefields of Europe are abundant.It is easy to admire the
courage of the Hitler Youth as they battled relentlessly against
the Allied and Soviet armies. But when one looks at it in the cold
light of day, one cannot fail to be overwhelmed with the senseless
loss of life. Millions butchered for an old man's nightmare vision
of a world he hated and wanted to see burn. His failure to face the
facts, combined with the Allies demand for unconditional surrender
resulted in an entire generation consumed to the abyss. The
Wehrmacht, the Hitler Youth, the Volkssturm and the children were
all in the end just gristle for the Reich's mill. This book covers
the whole story of a generation of young Germans, from the rebirth
of a Nation to its consignment to the abyss and their role in this
calamity.Includes many photos.
Jochen Peiper was a Colonel in the Waffen SS. One of the wars more
divisive men who was accused and convicted of more than 900 murders
yet he walked free after only a few years in prison, why? This book
covers his whole life, from his humble beginnings in Berlin to his
rise to full Colonel in the SS, and his participation in numerous
campaigns in Europe and the Eastern Front. The story leads to the
war crimes trial held in Dachau in 1946, the results of that trial,
and the use of coercion and dubious interrogation methods leading
up to it. Many guilty men walked free and many innocent men
remained in jail. Others who were clearly guilty and named were
never prosecuted at all. Rules were dismissed and what was supposed
to be a shining example of justice became an embarrassing mess. If
Peiper and his men were guilty of the crimes convicted of, why were
the sentences never carried out? Thoroughly researched using
original archived documents and other material this book sheds new
light on an old story.
This is a new version of the whole story of the Bounty, it covers
everything, from its disastrous crew selection, the Mutiny,
incitement of Polynesian wars, trials, executions, pardons,
kidnaps, rapes, enslavement to the brutal island murders. Make no
mistake; it may have been the beginning of the Romantic Age but
there was nothing romantic about the mutiny on the Bounty, why did
Fletcher Christian choose oblivion over common sense on that hot
sunny morning so long ago? Was it because far from freeing the crew
from oppression he was actually mentally unstable? Where exactly
was Peter Heywood and why did half the crew choose certain death in
an open boat rather than sail away with the mutineers? Just some of
the questions answered in this book, for the first time the whole
story, the complete story, including the Pandora's hunt for the
mutineers and the Admiralty's revenge, and the true price of Peter
Heywood's freedom.
A play by David G Williams. Billy the Kid, probably the most famous
bandit from the Wild West the world has ever known. Yet so little
is really known about his suspicious death. There are more
questions than answers and here in this fictional setting of an
inquest those questions are asked. However, the answers sometimes
pose even more questions. Not all is clear in this case, but what
is apparent now is that there was more to this than meets the eye.
The corruption in New Mexico was endemic as illegal land grabs and
trading monopolisation's consumed the territory. Why was the
elimination of this previously unknown saddle tramp given such high
priority? Why was there no evidence of his death, no photographs
and why were they in such a hurry to bury the body? Did Pat Garrett
shoot the wrong man? All these tantalising questions and more are
raised and answered here in this fictitious event which is set
around hard facts.

walked free after only a few years in prison, why? This book covers
his whole life, from his humble beginnings in Berlin to his rise to

war crimes trial held in Dachau in 1946, the results of that trial,
and the use of coercion and dubious interrogation methods leading
up to it. Many guilty men walked free and many innocent men
remained in jail.So badly was it conducted by the US military that
it influenced the ending of further planned war crimes trials.
Rules were dismissed and what was supposed to be a shining example
of justice became an embarrassing mess. If Peiper and his men were
guilty of the crimes they were convicted of, why were the sentences
never carried out? With photo
