Download or read book German War Graves in the North East and Cumbria written by Peter Connor and published by New Generation Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-07 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How long will we live?" was the question a young Luftwaffe airman asked his diary, writing about his first mission over Northern England. "Sacrificial lambs" was his reply after that first mission. He was referring to the bombers being left at the mercy of the RAF Spitfires and Hurricanes, with no fighter cover of their own. During the Second World War, a substantial number of German Luftwaffe aircrew were killed in action whilst flying missions over Britain (in addition to a smaller number of Kriegsmarine crew killed in British waters). The bodies were recovered and buried in war grave plots in local cemeteries, maintained to this day by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. German War Graves in the North East and Cumbriais a richly illustrated guide to the graves of those German servicemen buried in Northumberland, Cumbria, Tyne and Wear, Durham, Cleveland and Yorkshire.

Download or read book Religion in Britain from the Megaliths to Arthur written by Robin Melrose and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-03-11 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Druids and the Arthurian legends are all most of us know about early Britain, from the Neolithic to the Iron Age (4500 BC-AD 43). Drawing on archaeological discoveries and medieval Welsh texts like the Mabinogion, this book explores the religious beliefs of the ancient Britons before the coming of Christianity, beginning with the megaliths--structures like Stonehenge--and the role they played in prehistoric astronomy. Topics include the mysterious Beaker people of the Early Bronze Age, Iron Age evidence of the Druids, the Roman period and the Dark Ages. The author discusses the myths of King Arthur and what they tell us about paganism, as well as what early churches and monasteries reveal about the enigmatic Druids.

Book excerpt: WALL STREET JOURNAL BOOK OF THE MONTH "This is the incredible World War II saga of the German-Jewish commandos who fought in Britain’s most secretive special-forces unit—but whose story has gone untold until now." —Wall Street Journal “Brilliantly researched, utterly gripping history: the first full account of a remarkable group of Jewish refugees—a top-secret band of brothers—who waged war on Hitler.”—Alex Kershaw, New York Times best-selling author of The Longest Winter and The Liberator The incredible World War II saga of the German-Jewish commandos who fought in Britain’s most secretive special-forces unit—but whose story has gone untold until now June 1942. The shadow of the Third Reich has fallen across the European continent. In desperation, Winston Churchill and his chief of staff form an unusual plan: a new commando unit made up of Jewish refugees who have escaped to Britain. The resulting volunteers are a motley group of intellectuals, artists, and athletes, most from Germany and Austria. Many have been interned as enemy aliens, and have lost their families, their homes—their whole worlds. They will stop at nothing to defeat the Nazis. Trained in counterintelligence and advanced combat, this top secret unit becomes known as X Troop. Some simply call them a suicide squad. Drawing on extensive original research, including interviews with the last surviving members, Leah Garrett follows this unique band of brothers from Germany to England and back again, with stops at British internment camps, the beaches of Normandy, the battlefields of Italy and Holland, and the hellscape of Terezin concentration camp—the scene of one of the most dramatic, untold rescues of the war. For the first time, X Troop tells the astonishing story of these secret shock troops and their devastating blows against the Nazis. “Garrett’s detective work is stunning, and her storytelling is masterful. This is an original account of Jewish rescue, resistance, and revenge.”—Wendy Lower, author of The Ravine and National Book Award finalist Hitler’s Furies
