This book was released on 2021-03-07 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary reason for writing this book was to describe the difficult circumstances I have encountered in every endeavor that eventually ended my quest for success. Although I never failed in any challenge, the end was always predictable. I was always doomed to be the loser. My attempts to achieve success were always to follow clearly marked paths that numerous people before me had followed and found success. They achieved their goals. It never worked for me. In every endeavor I began with the full knowledge of how I was to proceed and operate until some unforeseen problem interfered. I thought that I was a success in the Race to the moon until that race was cancelled by a war. I was overcome by flood from a broken water main that destroyed my business. A sudden change in the law that at first protected my business and then later denied it. A sudden fire in an adjacent building destroyed the roof of my business. A change in how computers made life amazingly good was replaced by cell phones. It appeared that somehow I was not meant to be a success. My Reason Even before I was born my goal was to be born but that was quickly changed to mere survival. My mother attempted an early abortion by bathing in a tub that was filled with a laundry lye soap that was definitely a method used to kill the unborn child within her, but it ultimately failed, and I was born. Of course, I never knew about this even till much later in my life. I then began my life not knowing that every future opportunity was predestined to not come to fruition. I never understood that my path to success was under the path of my personal Dark Cloud. My first marriage was wonderful until several years later my wife learned of how she was born and the infamous circumstance that permitted her birth was enough to destroy everything two years later.

My agony ended with the happy reunion with my real mother, my sister, Oma my loving grandmother, and family. After WWII ended, my family and I lived behind the "Iron Curtain" in East Germany under the Russian occupation Stalin's "Iron Fist."

Download or read book The Black Book written by Sybil Oldfield and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Oldfield's thoroughly researched and fascinating historical biography explores the lives of many of the 2,600 citizens who attracted Hitler's ire, ranging from high-profile entertainers and writers to those naturalised refugees who doggedly resisted the Nazis from afar' - Observer In 1939, the Gestapo created a list of names: the Britons whose removal would be the Nazis' priority in the event of a successful invasion. Who were they? What had they done to provoke Germany? For the first time, the historian Sybil Oldfield uncovers their stories and reveals why the Nazis feared their influence. Those on the hitlist - many of them naturalised refugees - were some of Britain's most gifted and humane inhabitants. They included writers, humanitarians, religious leaders, scientists, artists, and social reformers. By examining these targets of Nazi hatred, Oldfield not only sheds light on the Gestapo worldview but also movingly reveals a network of truly exemplary Britons: mavericks, moral visionaries and unsung heroes.

Download or read book The Ardennes 1944 1945 written by Christer Bergström and published by Casemate / Vaktel Forlag. This book was released on 2014-12-19 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive, photo-filled account of the six-week-long Battle of the Bulge, when panzers slipped through the forest and took the Allies by surprise. In December 1944, just as World War II appeared to be winding down, Hitler shocked the world with a powerful German counteroffensive that cracked the center of the American front. The attack came through the Ardennes, the hilly and forested area in eastern Belgium and Luxembourg that the Allies had considered a “quiet” sector. Instead, for the second time in the war, the Germans used it as a stealthy avenue of approach for their panzers. Much of US First Army was overrun, and thousands of prisoners were taken as the Germans forged a fifty-mile “bulge” into the Allied front. But in one small town, Bastogne, American paratroopers, together with remnants of tank units, offered dogged resistance. Meanwhile, the rest of Eisenhower’s “broad front” strategy came to a halt as Patton, from the south, and Hodges, from the north, converged on the enemy incursion. Yet it would take an epic, six-week-long winter battle, the bloodiest in the history of the US Army, before the Germans were finally pushed back. Christer Bergström has interviewed veterans, gone through huge amounts of archive material, and performed on-the-spot research in the area. The result is a large amount of previously unpublished material and new findings, including reevaluations of tank and personnel casualties and the most accurate picture yet of what really transpired from the perspectives of both sides. With nearly four hundred photos, numerous maps, and thirty-two superb color profiles of combat vehicles and aircraft, it provides perhaps the most comprehensive look at the battle yet published.

Download or read book Eva Braun written by Heike B. Gortemaker and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of Germany’s leading young historians, the first comprehensive biography of Eva Braun, Hitler’s devoted mistress, finally wife, and the hidden First Lady of the Third Reich. In this groundbreaking biography of Eva Braun, German historian Heike Görtemaker reveals Hitler’s mistress as more than just a vapid blonde whose concerns never extended beyond her vanity table. Twenty-three years his junior, Braun first met Hitler when she took a position as an assistant to his personal photographer. Capricious, but uncompromising and fiercely loyal—she married Hitler two days before committing suicide with him in Berlin in 1945—her identity was kept secret by the Third Reich until the final days of the war. Through exhaustive research, newly discovered documentation, and anecdotal accounts, Görtemaker turns preconceptions about Eva Braun and Hitler on their head, and builds a portrait of the little-known Hitler far from the public eye.
