Bf 109 Aces of the Russian Front - John Weal - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Bf 109 Aces of the Russian Front - John Weal - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The highest scoring aces of any aerial conflict were the Luftwaffe pilots involved in the bloody combats on the Russian Front. The most common fighter used by these pilots was the Bf 109, which was involved in the action from Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, through to the doomed Defence of the Reich in 1945. Units like JGs 5, 52 and 54 all flew the Messerschmitt fighter, progressing from Emil to Gustav variants. This volume includes all the high-scoring aces, and explains just how difficult a job the Jagdwaffe faced on the Russian Front, and how its experts achieved such overwhelming scores.

Home Front Posters - Susannah Walker - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Home Front Posters - Susannah Walker - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

From ''Coughs and Sneezes Spread Diseases'' to ''Keep Calm and Carry On'', the Home Front posters of the Second World War have become part of British culture. Some were striking design classics and others more prosaic, but all give a fascinating insight into the trials and tribulations of life in Britain during the Second World War. This was the first ''total war'', with civilians as essential to the war effort as soldiers, so posters instructed people on everything from cooking and salvage to how to speak, and even think, about the war. This book tells the story behind these posters: how they were designed and produced, what it was hoped they would achieve, and what the British public really thought of them, as well as the role of ''Britain''s secret weapon''– humour. Looking at famous images and forgotten gems, it is essential reading for anyone interested both in life on the Home Front and the design of the times.

Serbia and the Balkan Front, 1914 - James Lyon - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Serbia and the Balkan Front, 1914 - James Lyon - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Winner of the 2015 Norman B. Tomlinson, Jr. Book Prize Serbia and the Balkan Front, 1914 is the first history of the Great War to address in-depth the crucial events of 1914 as they played out on the Balkan Front. James Lyon demonstrates how blame for the war’s outbreak can be placed squarely on Austria-Hungary’s expansionist plans and internal political tensions, Serbian nationalism, South Slav aspirations, the unresolved Eastern Question, and a political assassination sponsored by renegade elements within Serbia’s security services. In doing so, he portrays the background and events of the Sarajevo Assassination and the subsequent military campaigns and diplomacy on the Balkan Front during 1914.The book details the first battle of the First World War, the first Allied victory and the massive military humiliations Austria-Hungary suffered at the hands of tiny Serbia, while discussing the oversized strategic role Serbia played for the Allies during 1914. Lyon challenges existing historiography that contends the Habsburg Army was ill-prepared for war and shows that the Dual Monarchy was in fact superior in manpower and technology to the Serbian Army, thus laying blame on Austria-Hungary’s military leadership rather than on its state of readiness. Based on archival sources from Belgrade, Sarajevo and Vienna and using never-before-seen material to discuss secret negotiations between Turkey and Belgrade to carve up Albania, Serbia’s desertion epidemic, its near-surrender to Austria-Hungary in November 1914, and how Serbia became the first belligerent to openly proclaim its war aims, Serbia and the Balkan Front, 1914 enriches our understanding of the outbreak of the war and Serbia’s role in modern Europe. It is of great importance to students and scholars of the history of the First World War as well as military, diplomatic and modern European history.

The US Home Front 1941-45 - Alejandro De Quesada - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The US Home Front 1941-45 - Alejandro De Quesada - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Osprey''s examination of the situation on the United States home front during World War II (1939-1945). The outbreak of World War II in Europe in 1939 led to cautious attempts to raise volunteer organizations among American men and women, to back the armed forces in the event of the USA becoming directly involved in the conflict. The attack on Pearl Harbor caused a huge surge of patriotic response, and voluntary enlistment in a wide range of auxiliary and civilian support services, as well as the armed forces, swelled vastly. Looking first at the background and general character of wartime life in the States, Alejandro de Quesada covers the main services, providing an interesting comparison with the conditions on the British Home Front and the experiences of other countries caught up in the war, examining organizations from the Red Cross to the Coast Guard. Full-color artwork reconstructions of the uniforms of over a dozen services are a unique feature of this book.

Eastern Front 1945 - William E. Hiestand - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Eastern Front 1945 - William E. Hiestand - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

A detailed, illustrated account of the air campaign that accompanied the Red Army''s final push towards Berlin, in which massed Soviet air power defeated the Luftwaffe''s high-tech Me 262 jets and Mistel exploding drones. The last months of World War II on the Eastern Front saw a ferocious fight between two very different air forces. Soviet Air Force (VVS) Commander-in-Chief Alexander Novikov assembled 7,500 aircraft in three powerful air armies to support the final assault on Berlin. The Luftwaffe employed some of its most advanced weapons including the Me 262 jet and Mistel remotely-guided bomb aircraft. Using photos, 3D diagrams, maps and battlescene artwork, William E. Hiestand, a military analyst with a longstanding interest in Soviet military history, explains how Germany''s use of high-tech weaponry and massed Soviet air assaults was not just the culmination of World War II air combat, but also pointed to how the future rivalry with NATO would play out. The VVS used powerful and flexible air armies to control and employ its huge force of aircraft – organizational and employment concepts that would shape Soviet plans and preparations for combat during the Cold War. For the first time, this volume explains how air power helped win the war on the Eastern Front, and how victory shaped Soviet air power doctrine for the decades to come.

The Eastern Front in European Memory - Professor Xose M. Nunez Seixas - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Eastern Front in European Memory - Professor Xose M. Nunez Seixas - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This is the first comprehensive study to examine the place of the Eastern Front or Soviet-German War in European memory from a truly comparative perspective across Europe; it encompasses the Soviet and post-Soviet space, Germany (both GDR and FRG, and the Berlin Republic after 1990), Western Europe and Finland. Covering the whole post-war period to the present, with a particular emphasis on recent events, this book offers a cultural perspective on the different ways in which the politics of memory dictated by states interact with and are sometimes counteracted by grass-roots memory initiatives. The Eastern Front and European Memory focuses on a diversity of sources and agents of memory, from monuments and public ceremonies to literary narratives, films and other aspects of popular culture that contribute to shaping the historical culture of the societies concerned.

An Officer's Manual of the Western Front - Stephen Bull - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

An Officer's Manual of the Western Front - Stephen Bull - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

A compelling insight into the lives of the soldiers behind the war that not only changed the direction of world affairs but also brought with it a modernised, mechanised style of warfare. Many people have the idea that the ‘Great War’ on the Western Front was simple, if ghastly, to fight – with few tactics, and unbroken, monotonous, trench lines as the main feature of the battlefield. In such a scenario the archetypal image of battle is of soldiers with rifles and bayonets charging each other in blind obedience to stupid repetitious orders.Though undeniably bloody the war was in fact a ferment of new ideas and new weapons. Gas, flame throwers, super-heavy artillery, concrete bunkers, tanks, aircraft and other innovations were all introduced, whilst older notions such as barbed wire, machine guns and armour took on a new lease of life.No single manual was ever enough to encompass ''modern war'', and even before 1914 numerous publications were required. With the focus on the Western Front and the soldiers fighting there, this unique compendium collects together a huge variety of contemporary manuals, leaflets and booklets, and shows how although operations often failed, British commanders made attempts to devise new tactics and weaponry.

The British Home Front Pocket-Book - Brian Lavery - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The British Home Front Pocket-Book - Brian Lavery - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

A revealing and charming pocket book capturing the reality of civilian life during the war. In June 1940, following the BEF's scrambled evacuation from Dunkirk, the Second World War was brought home to Britain. As the Luftwaffe initiated their bombing campaigns and the threat of invasion grew daily, civilians were urged to play their part in the war effort, and take responsibility for their own survival. Many pamphlets and leaflets were issued with information and advice on a diverse range of subjects, from how to put on a gas mask, to how to build a bomb shelter and what to do in the event of an air raid, as Britain braced herself for a protracted conflict, literally on the front line, fighting alone. The literature drawn together for this evocative pocket-book captures the reality of civilian life during the Battle of Britain.

Sniping Rifles on the Eastern Front 1939?45 - Martin Pegler - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Sniping Rifles on the Eastern Front 1939?45 - Martin Pegler - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Soviet Union had developed a significant sniping force by 1939, but the extraordinary skill and cunning displayed by Finnish snipers during the Winter War forced the Soviets to innovate. On the other side, German sniping suffered from a lack of standardization of weapons and a lack of marksmen deployed at the start of the Great Patriotic War (1941–45). There were few heroes in the conflict, but on both sides, the snipers were idolized – especially on the Soviet side, gaining almost mythical status.As well as traditional bolt-action weapons, both sides used several types of semi-automatic rifle, such as the SVT-38 and the Gew 41. Offering greater firepower at the expense of long-range accuracy, such weapons would be profoundly influential in the postwar world. Fully illustrated, this absorbing study investigates the development of sniping weapons and techniques on World War II’s Eastern Front.

He 111 Kampfgeschwader on the Russian Front - John (aviation Author Artist) Weal - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

He 111 Kampfgeschwader on the Russian Front - John (aviation Author Artist) Weal - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The twin-engined He 111 was the mainstay of the Luftwaffe''s bomber arm at the start of World War 2. This second volume aims to chronicle its history facing a new enemy - the Soviet Union. The Ju 87 Stuka dive-bomber combined with it to provide the aerial striking power for all the early Blitzkrieg campaigns. In fact, the two aircraft enjoyed remarkably similar careers. Both swept all before them during the first 12 months of hostilities, both were found wanting when faced by the RAF during the Battle of Britain, but then both went on to gain fresh laurels and be given a new lease of life on the Eastern Front. The He 111''s war against the Western Allies has recently been covered by Osprey. The He 111 bomber was in action against the Russians from the first day of the war in the east until the last. It played a part in all the major battles and was employed in a wide variety of roles - operating as a strategic bomber, torpedo-bomber (over both the Arctic Ocean and the Black Sea), train-buster, interim nightfighter and, latterly, as an auxiliary transport. Its bombing targets included the cities of Moscow, Leningrad and Stalingrad, as well as bridges, dams and the Red Army in the field. But arguably its most successful single raid of the campaign was the attack on Poltava airfield in the Ukraine, which resulted in the destruction of 44 American B-17 Flying Fortresses (and the damaging of many more) engaged in a USAAF shuttle mission. But the turning point of the war in the east had been Stalingrad, a fact neatly encapsulated by the Luftwaffe''s He 111s. In the autumn of 1942 they had bombed the city flat, but before the year was out they were dropping supplies to the German army trapped in its ruins! And it would be the transport role that latterly came to dominate their activities, culminating in supply flights to beleaguered Breslau and Berlin in the spring of 1945.

Between Fault Lines and Front Lines - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Between Fault Lines and Front Lines - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Inequality is one of today’s greatest challenges, obstructing poverty reduction and sustainable development. As the power of elites grows and societal gaps widen, institutions representing the public good and universal values are increasingly disempowered or co-opted, and visions of social justice and equity side-lined. This book explores the roles of elites and institutions of power in the deepening of social and economic cleavages across the globe, by asking how inequalities have reshaped structures from the local to the transnational level, and what consequences they have wrought. In addition, the contributors present examples of peaceful processes of policy change that have made societies greener and more socially just, levelled out social stratification, and devolved power and resources from elites to non-elites, or towards marginalized or discriminated groups. Based on cutting-edge empirical research, the chapters in this volume bring together conceptual thinking and a number of case studies from the Global North and South, combining different levels of analysis and a range of qualitative research methods to present solutions for closing the inequality gap.

The Japanese Home Front 1937?45 - Philip (author) Jowett - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Japanese Home Front 1937?45 - Philip (author) Jowett - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

From the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937 until the Japanese surrender in August 1945, a multitude of military and civil-defence forces strove to support the Japanese war effort and latterly prepared to defend the Home Islands against invasion. During World War II, Japan was the world’s most militarized society and by 1945 nearly every Japanese male over the age of 10 wore some kind of military attire, as did the majority of women and girls. In this volume, Philip Jowett reveals the many military and civil-defence organizations active in wartime Japan, while specially commissioned artwork and carefully chosen archive photographs depict the appearance of the men, women and children involved in the Japanese war effort in the Home Islands throughout World War II.

Sturmgeschutz III and IV 1942–45 - Tom Jentz - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

As the Second World War dragged on, heavy German losses in armoured vehicles and tanks ensured that assault gun units had to play an increasingly vital role in supporting the beleaguered infantry and countering Allied armour, particularly on the Eastern Front. The Sturmgeschütz was one of the most numerously produced and effectively deployed of the German armoured vehicles. This book reveals how the Sturmgeschütz provided the backbone of Germany''s armoured forces in every theatre and on every front during the long fighting-retreat of the final years of the war.
