The final part in a three-book series on the Battle of Stalingrad, examining the Soviet encirclement, German relief efforts, and the final surrender of Paulus’ 6.Armee.Having fought hard just to reach the outskirts of Stalingrad, the Axis forces found themselves embroiled in a protracted urban battle amid the ruins of a devastated city on the Volga. The Soviet Red Army was able to hold onto the city then mount a surprise winter counter-offensive known as Operation Uranus, which succeeded in encircling the German 6.Armee at Stalingrad.

Stalingrad - Vasily Grossman
''One of the great novels of the 20th century'' ObserverIn April 1942, Hitler and Mussolini plan the huge offensive on the Eastern Front that will culminate in the greatest battle in human history.Hundreds of miles away, Pyotr Vavilov receives his call-up papers and spends a final night with his wife and children in the hut that is his home. As war approaches, the Shaposhnikov family gathers for a meal: despite her age, Alexandra will soon become a refugee; Tolya will enlist in the reserves; Vera, a nurse, will fall in love with a wounded pilot; and Viktor Shtrum will receive a letter from his doomed mother which will haunt him forever.The war will consume the lives of a huge cast of characters - lives which express Grossman''s grand themes of the nation and the individual, nature''s beauty and war''s cruelty, love and separation.For months, Soviet forces are driven back inexorably by the German advance eastward and eventually Stalingrad is all that remains between the invaders and victory. The city stands on a cliff top by the Volga River. The battle for Stalingrad - a maelstrom of violence and firepower - will reduce it to ruins. But it will also be ...

Stalingrad 1942–43 (1) - Robert Forczyk
The first in a three-book series examining the Stalingrad campaign, one of the most decisive military operations in World War II that set the stage for the ultimate defeat of the Third Reich.After failing to defeat the Soviet Union with Operation Barbarossa in 1941, Adolf Hitler planned a new campaign for the summer of 1942 that was intended to achieve a decisive victory: Operation Blue (Case Blau). In this new campaign, Hitler directed that one army group (Heeresgruppe A) would advance to seize the Soviet oilfields in the Caucasus, while the other (Heeresgruppe B) pushed on to the Volga River. The expectation was for a rapid victory – instead, German forces had to fight hard just to reach the outskirts of Stalingrad, and then found themselves embroiled in a protracted urban battle amid the ruins of a devastated city on the Volga.The Soviet Red Army was hit hard by the initial German offensive but held onto the city and then launched Operation Uranus, a winter counteroffensive that encircled the German 6. Armee at Stalingrad. Despite a desperate German relief operation, the Red Army eventually crushed the German forces and hurled the remnants of the German southern front back in disorder.This ...

The Road To Stalingrad - Prof John Erickson
The first of two volumes in John Erickson''s monumental history of the Soviet-German war.In THE ROAD TO STALINGRAD Professor Erickson takes us in detail from the inept command structures and strategic delusions of the pre-invasion Soviet Union, through the humiliations as her armies fell back on all fronts before the Barbarossa onslaught, until the tide turned at last at Stalingrad. Unsparingly he assesses the generals and political leaders, and analyses the confusions and wranglings within both Allied and Axis commands. The climax, the grinding battle for Stalingrad, leaves the Red Army poised for its majestic counter-offensive, Operation ''Uranus'', discovering it had ''caught a tiger by the tail''.

'Stunning. History at its very best: a blend of impeccably researched scholarship, genuinely revelatory primary sources, and a beautifully written narrative.' - James Holland'The sheer brutal intimacy of his descriptions of the fighting are extraordinary.' - Frederick Taylor'A wonderful and important and timely book.' - Alexander Kershaw, New York Times bestselling author of The Bedford Boys and First Wave'An authoritative and unforgettable insight into the decisive days of that most terrible struggle on the banks of the Volga.' - Jonathan DimblebyThe sacrifices that enabled the Soviet Union to defeat Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War 1941-45 are sacrosanct. The foundation of their eventual victory was laid during the battle for the city of Stalingrad, resting on the banks of the river Volga. For Germany, the catastrophic defeat was the beginning of their eventual demise that would see the Red Army two years later flying their flag of victory above the Reichstag. Stalingrad is seen as the pivotal battle of the Second World War, with over two million civilians and combatants either killed, wounded or captured during the bitter winter of September 1942. Both sides endured terrible conditions in brutal house-to-house fighting reminiscent of the Great War.Within this life-and-death struggle ... Unknown localization key: "more"

He ordered for the capture of the city as soon as possible, but this was easier said than done.On 13 September, a direct German assault was launched against the city on the Volga and a protracted urban battle followed amid the ruins, already devastated by massive Luftwaffe raids.

Lando Norris - Ben Hunt
From established sports journalist Ben Hunt, the very first biography of the up-and-coming British driver Lando Norris, published on the brink of the British Grand Prix. As the youngest ever British Formula 1 driver, Lando Norris is trailblazing his way through the world of motor racing. After signing as a junior driver for McLaren in 2017, he has since asserted himself as the team's brightest talent and an aspiring world champion. Born to British and Belgian parents and raised in the idylls of south-west England, Lando's childhood reflects how even the calmest of upbringings can create an adrenaline junkie. As one of a new cohort of young drivers seeking to assert their dominance in the sport, Lando is a uniquely modern sportsman, who celebrates learning and personal development, but who nonetheless has the killer instinct required to take him to the very pinnacle of F1. In Lando Norris, motor sport aficionado and journalist Ben Hunt draws on his extensive driver and paddock access to seek to understand what makes Lando tick and examines how this young British driver has been well and truly raised in the mould of a champion.

Přes ploty je velmi nezvyklá kniha dialogů. Jejími autory jsou dva lidé, kteří jsou od sebe vzdáleni tak, jak jen je možné si to v dnešní době a společnosti představit. Fedor Gál (nar. 1945), ikona slovenských i českých občanských aktivit, sociolog, politik, publicista, dokumentarista. Bezmála před deseti lety jej emailovou poštou oslovil mladý slovenský národní socialista Matěj (z mnoha důvodů si přeje zůstat v anonymitě). A začal dialog, který doslova a do písmene naplňuje to, co Fedor Gál už dlouho vytýká do záhlaví svých klíčových úvah: možnosti a meze dialogu. Dodat lze snad jen to, že zde jsou možnosti skoro bezbřehé a meze hodně prostupné…

Our Hidden Conversations - Michele Norris
Peabody Award–winning journalist Michele Norris offers a transformative dialogue on race and identity in America, unearthed through her decade-long work at The Race Card Project. The prompt seemed simple: Race. Your Thoughts. Six Words. Please Send. The answers, though, have been challenging and complicated. In the twelve years since award-winning journalist Michele Norris first posed that question, over half a million people have submitted their stories to The Race Card Project inbox. The stories are shocking in their depth and candor, spanning the full spectrum of race, ethnicity, identity, and class. Even at just six words, the micro-essays can pack quite a punch, revealing, fear, pain, triumph, and sometimes humor. Responses such as: You’re Pretty for a Black girl. White privilege, enjoy it, earned it. Lady, I don’t want your purse. My ancestors massacred Indians near here. Urban living has made me racist. I’m only Asian when it’s convenient. Many go even further than just six words, submitting backstories, photos, and heirlooms: a collection much like a scrapbook of American candor you rarely get to see. Our Hidden Conversations is a unique compilation of stories, richly reported essays, and photographs providing a window into America during a tumultuous era. This ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Soul Songs - Gunilla Norris
“Between God and the soul, there is no in-between,” said Julian of Norwich, a 14th-century mystic, and that idea frames the poems in this collection.Norris’ central idea is that mystery is the core of being. It is in us and around us. Given a chance, something deep inside will show up as longing, something that can’t be explained but needs expression. This is what she begins to call “soul singing.”A well-known writer and poet now in her eighties, Gunilla Norris offers this collection of short prayers, tender moments of awareness, even humming, that express her yearning for and experience of connecting with the Source of all. Norris’ expressions have a universal feel, and speak across a spectrum of traditions. Above all, Soul Songs shows how sometimes we simply can’t help but lift our hearts and sing for the soul’s sake.

Stalingrad (BLU-RAY)
Blu-ray film Stalingrad HD [1993]. Český dabing. České titulky. Dolby Digital. V roce 1942 do města napochodovalo 450 000 německých vojáků, vrátilo se jen 10 000. Producenti klasického válečného filmu Ponorka přinášejí příběh nejdelší a nejkrvavější bitvy 2. světové války. Hitlerovy příkazy zněly neustupovat a nevzdávat se, v kruté zimě tak zahynuly více než dva miliony mužů. Boj o Stalingrad se tak stal přelomem ve vývoji války a Německo se z této zničující porážky nikdy nevzpamatovalo. Brutální realitu můžete vidět očima německého důstojníka Hanse von Witzlanda (Thomas Kretschmann) a jeho čety. Sledujte příběhy obyčejných německých vojáků, kteří poznávají pravou povahu režimu a nadšení z budování Třetí říše u nich pomalu přechází v rozčarování a v touhu dostat se za každou cenu domů. Nejenže se film z velké části natáčel v Čechách, ale v jedné z hlavních rolí můžete vidět Karla Heřmánka. Asistentem režie byl Milan Šteindler.

The Battle of Stalingrad Through German Eyes - Jonathan Trigg
Five months, one week and three days of hell. The German offensive to capture Stalingrad began in August 1942, using Friedrich Paulus’s 6th Army and elements of the 4th Panzer Army. The attack was supported by intense bombing that reduced much of the city to rubble. The battle degenerated into house-to-house fighting, as both sides fought for the city on the Volga. By mid-November, the Germans were on the brink of victory as the Soviet defenders clung on to a final few slivers of land along the west bank of the river.Then, on 19 November, the Red Army launched Operation Uranus, targeting the weaker Romanian armies protecting the 6th Army’s flanks. The ill-equipped Romanians were overrun and the 6th Army was cut off and surrounded. Hitler was determined to hold the city – the symbolic namesake of the Soviet leader – and forbade the 6th Army from attempting a breakout, insisting they be supplied by air instead; in February 1943, without food or ammunition, some 91,000 starving, lice-ridden Germans surrendered. The losses on both sides were eye-watering – the Soviets alone suffered something approaching half a million dead and more than 650,000 sick or wounded – and in his unique ...

Bitva o Stalingrad německýma očima - Jonathan Trigg
Pět měsíců, jeden týden a tři dny pekla. Německá ofenzíva, jejímž cílem bylo dobýt Stalingrad, začala v srpnu 1942 za účasti 6. armády Friedricha Pauluse a částí 4. tankové armády. Útok byl podpořen intenzivním bombardováním, které velkou část města proměnilo v ruiny. Bitva se zvrhla v boje o každý dům. Obě strany bojovaly o město na Volze zuřivě a s velkým zaujetím. V polovině listopadu byli Němci na pokraji vítězství, zatímco sovětští obránci se drželi posledních úzkých pruhů země podél západního břehu řeky. Rudá armáda však v té době zahájila operaci Uran, jež cílila na slabší rumunské armády chránící boky 6. armády. Špatně vybavené rumunské jednotky byly přemoženy a 6. armáda byla odříznuta a obklíčena. Hitler byl odhodlán udržet město za každou cenu a zakázal 6. armádě pokus o průlom. Trval na tom, aby byla zásobována ze vzduchu. Výsledkem byla německá porážka. V únoru 1943 se bez jídla a munice vzdalo asi 91 000 hladovějících a vešmi prolezlých Němců sovětským jednotkám. Ztráty na obou stranách byly obrovské – jenom Sověti měli téměř půl milionu mrtvých a více než 650 000 nemocných nebo zraněných.Autor Jonathan Trigg svým jedinečným stylem odhaluje lidské utrpení skryté za těmito statistikami prostřednictvím vzpomínek a dopisů německých ...

Bodies Under Siege - Sian Norris
An exposé of how far-right extremists across Europe use attacks on abortion to introduce broader fascist politics–and their connections to the American far right, from a leading investigative journalistThink today''s anti-abortion ideas are rooted in religious prohibitions or arguments about where life begins? Wrong: today''s anti-abortion movement is largely financed and planned by far-right extremists. Many of them are avowedly fascist and white supremacist, afraid of a "great replacement" of the world''s white population by other races, who are working hard to reshape governments and policies across Europe, North America and around the world. Much of this far-right organizing and funding network, however, has been overlooked by today''s feminist and left movements.As investigative journalist Sian Norris uncovers here, it is through attacking abortion rights that fascist ideas from the dark web, incel chat boards, and fringe organizations comes to enter mainstream debate -- and to then shape governmental policy across Europe, from authoritarian regimes like Hungary''s to liberal democracies like Britain. As Norris goes undercover at anti-abortion activist meetings, and pieces together the money trail linking American think tanks to far-right fascist groups, she maps out the pipeline by which fascism has become respectable across the Global North by taking ...

Hitler’s Heroes During the Advance to Stalingrad - Jeremy Dixon
This, the second book by Jeremy Dixon on the subject, is a study of those German officers who were promoted to the rank of general and who were also awarded the Knight’s Cross during the period of the fighting in Russia between Hitler’s assault upon the Soviet Union, Operation Barbarossa, and the complete destruction of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad. The Germans lost 500,000 soldiers during the Stalingrad campaign, some 91,000 of whom were taken prisoner – a number which included 2,000 officers, twenty-three generals and one Generalfeldmarschall, Friedrich Paulus. There were 149 officers who later held the rank of general who were awarded the Knight’s Cross for their actions on the Eastern Front between 6 December 1941 and 2 February 1943. One such recipient was Maximilian Fretter-Pico, who, as Generalmajor and Commander of the 97th Infantry Division, was awarded the Knight’s Cross on 26 December 1941. He was later promoted to Generalleutnant and in June 1942 was Commander of the Army Detachment Fretter-Pico, with the rank of General der Artillerie. He was awarded the Knight’s Cross with Oakleaves as Commanding General of the XXX Army Corps, for actions in the Don and Donez area, on 16 January 1944. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Emma Fedor’s “wonderful, haunting, and original” (Katherine Faulkner, author of Greenwich Park) debut explores the fierceness of first love and how far one woman will go to learn the truth about her family.When Cara and Brendan first meet, she’s fresh out of college, recovering from the recent death of her mother, and spending time on Martha’s Vineyard while trying to figure out her next steps. She’s swept away by Brendan’s humor and charm, and intoxicated by his thrilling, dangerous secret: he can breathe underwater. Able to stay beneath the waves for longer than should be possible, Brendan reveals that he is part of a secret experimental unit of the US Special Forces. And Cara, struck by the power of his conviction, by his unstoppable charisma, and by the evidence before her, believes him. Their summer romance turns serious. Then Cara gets pregnant. When their son, Micah, is born, she’s sure their happy ending is underway. Still, she’s thrown by Brendan’s dramatic moods, his unexplained disappearances, and the weight of his secrets. Cara is determined to stay strong for her young ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Bratrstvo krve Stalingrad
Audiokniha na CD - autor František Kotleta; čte Richard Fiala Stalingrad je po Hustým nářezu, Fakt hustým nářezu, Mega hustým nářezu a prequelu Vlci dalším románem ze série Bratrstvo krve! Píše se rok 1942 a německá armáda vítězí na všech frontách i díky speciálním vojákům v jejích řadách. Vojákům, kteří jsou prakticky nezničitelní – tedy pokud mají dost cizí krve. A jestli něco v téhle zatracené válce skutečně teče proudem, tak právě krev. Germánský upírský klan se rozpíná do všech stran a jeho nepřátelé jsou rozhádaní a prohrávají jednu bitvu za druhou. Zdá se, že mocnou vládkyni Germánů nic nezastaví. Jenže generál Gerhard začíná pochybovat a slovanský upírský klan se tak snadno nevzdává. Navíc Veronika s Janem Bezzemkem mají plán... Tajné války upírů vrcholí monstrózní bitvou, která se zapíše do dějin Bratrstva krve.

Stalingrad: Každý dům, každé okno, každý kámen (978-80-7557-143-4)
Kniha - autor Miloslav Jenšík, 128 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Bitva o Stalingrad byla nejvýznamnějším a rozhodujícím střetnutím německých a sovětských vojsk na východní frontě. Byla nejen obrovskou opotřebovávací bitvou, ale také psychologickým střetnutím dvou maximálně koncentrovaných vůlí. Šlo o mnohem víc než o jedno město. Vojáci, kteří se do sebe zuřivě zakousli v hromadách sutin z domů, v nichž ještě nedávno žili lidé, na donekonečna rozrývaných svazích Mamajovy mohyly, v odpadních kanálech, den ode dne chápali víc a víc, co je v sázce. V nepřetržitých srážkách stovek malých úderných skupin narůstala do absolutní hodnoty fyzická i psychická odolnost, iniciativa, odpovědnost a vynalézavost i toho posledního pěšáka. Osud města visel na vlásku. Obránci drželi místy už jen uzoučký proužek břehu, z kterého mohli být smeteni jediným úderem. Do krajnosti vyčerpaní vojáci, trosky původních jednotek, však dál vedli svou svatou válku. Linie bojů byla...

Stalingrad A co se dělo poté (978-80-206-1512-1)
Kniha - autor Star Busmann; Josef Otáhal, 144 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Cílem německé letní ofenzivy v roce 1942 v jižním Rusku bylo dobytí Stalingradu a ropných polí u Baku na druhé straně Kavkazu. „Jestliže se nezmocním ropy z Baku,“ řekl Hitler, „pak budu muset válku ukončit.“ Dobytí Zakavkazska bylo svěřeno skupině armád A pod velením maršála von Kleista. Kromě toho měla tato armáda obsadit pobřeží Černého a Kaspického moře a eliminovat tam všechny ruské jednotky. Skupina armád B pod velením generála von Weichse měla krýt operace skupiny armád A tím, že postupovala z velkého donského oblouku na Stalingrad a odtud podél Volhy k Astrachani a ke Kaspickému moři. Po ukončení obou operací měly německé linie probíhat podél černomořského pobřeží Zakavkazskem, potom podél pobřeží Kaspického moře po Astrachaň a odtud podél Volhy. Pak už by se Němci nemuseli obávat ruské protiofenzivy z jihu. Černé moře, Zakavkazsko a Kaspické moře hraničily na jihu s...

Sustainability - Patricia E. Norris, Paul B. Thompson
While politicians, entrepreneurs, and even school children could tell you that sustainability is an important and nearly universal value, many of them, and many of us, may struggle to define the term, let alone trace its history. What is sustainability? Is it always about the environment? What science do we need to fully grasp what it requires? What does sustainability mean for business? How can governments plan for a sustainable future? This short, accessible book written in the signature question-and-answer format of the What Everyone Needs to Know® series tackles these and numerous other questions. Sustainability is a porous topic, which has been adapted and reshaped for developing ecological models, improving corporate responsibility, setting environmental and land-use policies, organizing educational curricula, and reimagining the goals of governance and democracy. Where other treatments of this topic tend to focus on just one application of sustainability, this primer encompasses everything from global development and welfare to social justice and climate change. With chapters that discuss sustainability in the contexts of profitable businesses, environmental risks, scientific research, and the day-to-day business of local government, it gives readers a deep understanding of one of the most essential concepts of our time.

The Spy Who Helped the Soviets Win Stalingrad and Kursk - Chris Jones
In his short life, Liverpool-born Alexander Foote went from being a volunteer in the International Brigade in Spain to becoming an agent of Soviet military intelligence in Switzerland. Pretending to his friends that he was a dim-witted Englishman with private means, Foote became the key telegraphist of the so-called ‘Red Three’ network of radio stations, communicating top secret German intelligence to the USSR from under the noses of the Swiss authorities. The information from Foote’s Morse key originated from sources in Germany and came to Foote via the enigmatic figure of Rudolph Rossler, known as Agent Lucy. Where he obtained the information from is a mystery that has never been solved. During the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk, Soviet generals came to depend on the information from Foote’s transmitter and those of his comrades. On his release from a ten-month remand in a Swiss gaol on an espionage charge, Foote absconded to Paris in 1944 before being invited for debriefing in Moscow. When he arrived, he became aware that he was under suspicion of being a British spy and it took all his wit to talk his comrades in Soviet intelligence out of sending him to the gulag: a fate ...

From Stalingrad to Italy - Von Senger's War - Andrew Sangster
In a world defined by the brutalities of war, one German general stands apart from the Hollywood stereotype. Before the storm of the Second World War, Fridolin von Senger und Etterlin was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, fluent in multiple languages, and a devoted Christian — a lifelong Benedictine Oblate. From the very outset he was anti-Nazi and, on many occasions, defied Hitler’s orders. His military skills were good; in France he beat Rommel to Cherbourg and on the Eastern Front he tried to relieve the German 6th Army in Stalingrad. It was in Italy where his reputation grew by safely evacuating German troops from Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, a delicate matter because the Italians had changed sides. He defeated General Clark’s forces at the Rapido battle fiasco, and he caused Cassino to become a serious hold up for the Allied advance north. It was he who willingly signed the surrender documents in Italy on 4 May 1945. His Christian beliefs meant there were no barbarities within his command, and he made lifelong friends with some occupied residents, helping to save lives from the dreaded SS, and the Italian partisans never attacked him because he had helped the helpless.

Logistics in World War II - John Norris
"The short recaps of individual vehicles embedded within are often accompanied by photos, including especially nice color photos of restored vehicles." — Historical Miniatures Gaming SocietyJohn Norris shows how logistics, though less glamorous than details of the fighting itself, played a decisive role in the outcome of every campaign and battle of World War Two. The author marshals some astounding facts and figures to convey the sheer scale of the task all belligerents faced to equip vast forces and supply them in the field. He also draws on firsthand accounts to illustrate what this meant for the men and women in the logistics chain and those depending on it at the sharp end. Many of the vehicles, from supply trucks to pack mules, and other relevant hardware are discussed and illustrated with numerous photographs. This first volume of two looks at the early years of the war, so we see, for example, how Hitler''s panzer divisions were kept rolling in the Blitzkrieg (a German division in 1940 still had around 5000 horses, requiring hundreds of tons of fodder) and the British army''s disastrous loss of equipment at Dunkirk. This is a fascinating and valuable study of a neglected aspect of ... Unknown localization key: "more"
