Download or read book Ludwig IV Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine written by Petra H. Kleinpenning and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-03-29 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grand Duke Ludwig IV of Hesse and by Rhine (1837-1892) is best known to many as the husband of Princess Alice of the United Kingdom (1843-1878) and the father of daughters who married into the Houses of Romanov and Hohenzollern and into the Battenberg/Mountbatten family. Information about Ludwig IV can be found in memoirs, correspondences, and biographies of his relatives. However, publications specifically on Ludwig IV are rare. This publication includes the first English translation of the biographical sketch of Grand Duke Ludwig IV which was written by military historian Gebhard Zernin on the occasion of the unveiling of the equestrian statue of Ludwig IV in Darmstadt, Hesse, in 1898. It was published as a Festschrift and focuses on his education and military career, portraying him as a soldier in heart and soul who participated bravely in two wars. However, he was also a humble, kind-hearted, and fair-minded man who cared for his people. Zernin's biographical sketch is supplemented with concise historical background information and an account of the ceremony of the unveiling of the statue.

Download or read book Royals and the Reich written by Jonathan Petropoulos and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-08-12 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Princes Philipp and Christoph von Hessen-Kassel, great-grandsons of Queen Victoria of England, had been humiliated by defeat in World War I and, like much of the German aristocracy, feared the social unrest wrought by the ineffectual Weimar Republic. Jonathan Petropoulos shows how the princes, lured by prominent positions in the Nazi regime and highly susceptible to nationalist appeals, became enthusiastic supporters of Hitler. Prince Philipp, son-in-law to the King of Italy, became the highest-ranking prince in the Nazi state and developed a close personal relationship with Hitler and Hermann G?ering. Prince Christoph was a prominent SS officer and head of the most important intelligence agency in the Third Reich. In return, the princes made the Nazis socially acceptable to wealthy, high-society patrons. Prince Philipp even introduced G?ering to Mussolini at a critical stage in the Nazi Party's development and later served as a liaison between Hitler and the Italian dictator. Permitted access to Hessen family private papers and the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle, Petropoulos follows the story of the House of Hesse through to its tragic denouement--the princes' betrayal and persecution by an increasingly paranoid Hitler and prosecution and denazification by the Allies.
