Photography and the Making of Nazi Racial by Julie R. Keresztes(.ePUB)
📮 Photography and the Making of Nazi Racial by Julie R. Keresztes(.ePUB) Photography and the Making of the Nazi Racial Community examines the role of photography in the construction of the Nazi Volksgemeinschaft**, a racially exclusive community, during the Third Reich.** Julie R. Keresztes explores how the dictatorship promoted photography for those who belonged to that community and excluded Jews from the practice. As Nazi officials dispossessed Jewish photographers and robbed them of their equipment, studios, and eventually their lives, they made photography more accessible to non-Jewish Germans. But they inadvertently created spaces for photography to be used as resistance and revenge in concentration camps, where forced laborers salvaged photographs that exposed the extermination of Europe's Jews. As the victims of Nazi persecution used photography to gather evidence of the Holocaust, German troops and their families used photography to portray themselves as dutiful members of the Volksgemeinschaft rather than show the reality of war and genocide. Ultimately, Photography and the Making of the Nazi Racial Community shows how the configuration of photography along racial lines shaped the imagery of the Second World War. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Julie R.

Personal Accounts of the Waffen SS at War by Gordon Williamson(.ePUB)
📮 Personal Accounts of the Waffen SS at War by Gordon Williamson(.ePUB) No military organisation has fought as well against such overwhelming odds as the Waffen-SS, but few have earned such an infamous reputation in the process. Hitler’s elite proved itself in some of the most savage actions of World War II: the battle of Kharkov, the defence of the Demyansk Pocket and the Normandy landings. Certain units, however, also perpetrated atrocities against innocent civilians, while others were closely associated with the concentration camps. Personal Accounts of the Waffen-SS at War is the story of the men who wore the SS runes – told in their own words. Speaking candidly about their wartime service, former Waffen-SS soldiers of all ranks and nationalities talk about their training, indoctrination, combat on the Eastern Front, their commanders and political masters and the issue of atrocities. Illustrated with 150 rare black-and-white photographs, not only does Personal Accounts of the Waffen-SS at War address one of the most fascinating organisations within the Third Reich, but unlike much history it offers personal accounts from inside the Waffen-SS. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of World War II and the Third Reich. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Gordon Williamson(.Epub) Size 12MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type Personal Accounts of the Waffen SS at War by Gordon Williamson(.ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/4qacKXJ2OrOi https://devuploads.com/ocxfxfcgyehe

Hurricane: The Plane that Won the War by Jacky Hyams (.ePUB)
📮 Hurricane: The Plane that Won the War by Jacky Hyams (.ePUB) Britain’s first-ever wartime fighter plane, the Hawker Hurricane, shot down more enemy planes than any other fighter. It was the true aviation hero of the Battle of Britain. Often eclipsed by the legend and aerial heroics of the Spitfire, the Hurricane was the authentic warhorse of aviation history. Stable, rugged, less expensive to build – and far more easily repaired and maintained than the Spitfire – the ‘Hurri’ as it was affectionately known, proved to be the most fearsome fighter plane in aerial combat – at a time when Britain’s survival was at stake like never before. In 1940 the Hurricane made its mark: more than half of the 1,200 German aircraft that were shot down in the war were taken down by Hurricanes**.** At the time, the RAF could call on 32 squadrons of Hurricanes and 19 Spitfires: the Hurricane was, in fact, the dominant British fighter plane, developing a reputation as a plane that could take more than a few hits from the enemy – and continue to fly. The Spit was the aviation thoroughbred, superb until damaged. The Hurri was much stronger. The skilled airmen came from all over the world; one of them from RAF 80 Squadron would later become a very famous author – Roald Dahl. Using documents, letters and first-hand accounts, this is the historic untold story of the Hawker Hurricane and the lives of the men and women who flew, helped design and construct, fit and worked behind the scenes of the ‘Hurri’, all contributing in ways big and small, to its outstanding success as a legend of the Second World War. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Jacky Hyams Size 6MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/sEMcagkT3OMl https://devuploads.com/1umplnq9se84

Bf 109 Jabo Units in the West by Malcolm V. Lowe (.ePUB)
📮 Bf 109 Jabo Units in the West by Malcolm V. Lowe (.ePUB) Using specially commissioned artwork and detailing technical specifications, this book explores the Bf 109's different roles occasioned by wartime necessity, from its employment as a fighter to its evolution as a fighter-bomber. One of the principal types in the Luftwaffe's inventory at the beginning of World War II, the piston-engined Bf 109 was central to the many initial victories that the Germans achieved before coming up against the unbeatable RAF during the Battle of Britain. Nevertheless, by the second half of 1940 the Bf 109's operability was widened due to operational needs and it was flown as a fighter-bomber for precision attacks in Southern England. At first ad hoc conversions were made 'in the field' to allow the aircraft to carry a bomb or extra fuel tank. Such modifications were soon formalised by Messerschmitt, which created the Jabo Bf 109s. Drawing from pilots' first-hand accounts, author Malcolm V. Lowe explores the number of specialised units, including Lehrgeschwader 2 and dedicated fighter-bomber sections of standard fighter units such as 10. Staffel of Jagdgeschwader 26, which flew this highly specialised fighter-bomber. Including technical specifications, rare photographs and outstanding artwork, this book explores the Jabo versions of the Bf 109E, F and G both on the production line and with the addition of Rüstsätze field conversion kits. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Malcolm V.

Age Like a Yogi by Victoria Moran (.ePUB)
📮 Age Like a Yogi by Victoria Moran (.ePUB) Yoga and ayurveda as keys for aging beautifully While advanced age is revered by some, very few of us are in a hurry to get there. This guide treats physical well-being and spiritual growth as two sides of a coin. It is custom-crafted for midlife and later by addressing both eternal verities and physical health. Yoga, the time-honored philosophy of which headstands and downward-facing dogs are only a fragment, doesn’t sugarcoat: physical life will end and material joys, as lovely as they can be, are temporary. In acknowledging our true nature, the eternal divinity that is our essence, we have the best shot at well-being on every level. This book explores spiritual awakening yoga-style, and the fundamentals of yoga’s sister science, ayurveda, for care of the body. No one is too young to take up these practices, and no one is too old either. Asana practice, the “physical exercise” component of the spiritual adventure of yoga, is fully adaptable to anybody of any age. And the mental and spiritual practices of yoga need no adaptations. Age Like a Yogi not only gives the reader immediately applicable tools for spiritual awareness and physical health in the post-fifty decades, but also a way to leave this world kinder, safer, saner, and a little more beautiful. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Victoria Moran Size 6MB Category Non-Fiction > Health, Fitness & Self-help File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/phEuaW9TezzX https://devuploads.com/arshouuoa71r

The Indian Rebellion, 1857-1859 by Kaushik Roy (.ePUB)
📮 The Indian Rebellion, 1857-1859 by Kaushik Roy (.ePUB) The Indian Rebellion, 1857–1859: A Military History in the Global Context focuses on the military dimension of this conflict, in which Indian rebels waged both conventional and unconventional warfare against the British. In the summer of 1857, British rule almost disintegrated in north India due to the rebellion of the Indians in the Bengal Army. The military mutiny was followed by large-scale peasant uprising. But by mid-1859, the Indian Rebellion collapsed with the military defeat of the rebels. This book is the first one based on archival sources, from both India and the United Kingdom, dealing with the military history of the mid-nineteenth-century Indian Rebellion. The volume wrestles with the questions of why and how the British won, ipso facto, and why and how the rebels lost. The book also situates the military experience of the mid-nineteenth century Indian subcontinent within a global context. Besides traditional themes like strategy, tactics, technology, command, and logistics, the topics introduced by ‘new’ military history, such as experiences of war, impact on society and the construction of identities, are addressed throughout. The Indian Rebellion, 1857–1859 is essential for students and researchers of military history, modern Indian history, and British Imperial history. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Kaushik Roy Size 3MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/ozLYQDqwPkW7 https://devuploads.com/2z72ibtqz6xw

The Traitor's Homecoming by Matthew E. Reardon (.ePUB)
📮 The Traitor's Homecoming by Matthew E. Reardon (.ePUB) A reexamination of Benedict Arnold's 1781 raid on New London, Connecticut, dispelling myths and offering a balanced military study. Almost everyone is familiar with the name of at least one Revolutionary War battle. Some, like Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, Saratoga, and Yorktown are household names. Others are less well known but readily recognized when mentioned. An engagement in Connecticut during the war’s seventh year, commanded by one of history’s most infamous military names, is not among them. Matthew E. Reardon has set out to rectify that oversight with The Traitor’s Homecoming: Benedict Arnold’s Raid on New London, Connecticut, September 4–13, 1781. By 1781, the war in North America had reached a stalemate. That changed during the summer when the combined Franco-American armies of Generals George Washington and Jean-Baptiste comte de Rochambeau deceived British General Sir Henry Clinton into believing they were about to lay siege to New York City. In fact, they were moving south toward Yorktown, Virginia, in a bid to trap Lord Cornwallis’s British army against the sea. Clinton fell for the deception and dispatched former American general Benedict Arnold to attack New London. Clinton hoped to destroy the privateers operating out of its harbor and derail militia reinforcements and supplies heading from Connecticut to the allied armies outside New York City. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Matthew E.

Taking the Train by Anthony Burton (.ePUB)
📮 Taking the Train by Anthony Burton (.ePUB) A history of railway travel from improved railway advancements to firsthand passenger encounters. The book looks at rail travel from the passenger’s point of view, beginning when a coach drawn by horses, rumbled down the newly laid tracks linking Swansea to Mumbles in 1807 and takes the reader right up to the present day. It was not long after that first service opened in Wales that the first steam passenger trains began to operate. The story broadens out from the first inter-city line connecting Liverpool to Manchester to spread first around Britain and eventually spread across the world. The book paints vivid pictures of how travel seemed to passengers in different countries, drawing on many first-hand accounts. The early days offered little in comfort – third class passengers had to make do with carriages that were simply open trucks. Gradually conditions improved and eventually there was an age of luxury travel epitomised by the famous Orient Express. Every aspect of rail travel is looked at, from tragic tales of fatal accidents to the role of railway travel in films and books. This lively account of the pioneering days and what many regard as the golden age of rail travel will be welcomed by anyone who enjoys taking the train. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Anthony Burton Size 140MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/ZNyV3BCiH3s6 https://devuploads.com/0wa6ahtnia5e

London's Underground Since 1985 by Jim Blake (.ePUB)
📮 London's Underground Since 1985 by Jim Blake (.ePUB) JIM BLAKE's second volume of his photographs featuring the London Underground cover the period from 1985, shortly after the Thatcher regime's destruction of London Transport and its re-birth as London Underground Ltd., to 2021 when the Northern Line gained its new branch from Kennington to Battersea Power Station. This was a turbulent time in the system's history, encompassing the withdrawal of the last pre-war passenger rolling stock (in 1988) and then the abolition of two-person operated trains at the beginning of 2000. With the exception of the Waterloo & City Line, which was transferred from British Rail to London Underground in the 1990s, all Underground lines are covered together with the rolling stock operating them. Jim's photographs concentrate on the older types. What is very striking in them is how the system seemed to be going downhill rapidly during the Thatcher years when this survey begins - plagued by the curse of graffiti and liberally littered thanks to cuts in staff who once dealt with such problems. Fortunately, since Transport for London's takeover of the Underground from 2000 onwards, things in that respect have markedly improved, trains and stations are much cleaner and therefore welcoming to passengers. The contrast between the late 1980s/early 1990s and today's Underground is very clear in Jim's photographs featured here, most previously unpublished. It is unfortunate that further improvements, not to mention long-planned extensions to the system, continue to be frustrated by government spending restrictions at the time of writing. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Jim Blake Size 74MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/ttdxMQw2wY0j https://devuploads.com/b16odspv84n4

The London DM and DMS Buses by Jim Blake (.ePUB)
📮 The London DM and DMS Buses by Jim Blake (.ePUB) JIM BLAKE'S latest book on London's buses may come as a surprise, since he usually concentrated on older vehicles in the fleet. However, the unpopular, unsuccessful DMs and DMSs were still part of London Transport's history, so he recorded them too, particularly towards the end of the short working lives. Forced by central government to buy "off-the-peg" standard manufacturers' products, rather than their own tried and trusted designs, LT opted for Daimler Fleetlines for their first fleet of one-man-operated double-deckers. Optimistically christened "Londoners" when they first entered service in January 1971, they instantly became unpopular with passengers, staff and bus enthusiasts alike. Their square, box-like appearance and bland all-over red livery did not endear them to the latter. Passengers used to boarding buses immediately with fares collected or tickets checked by a conductor objected to waiting at termini until the driver appeared and opened their doors, and having to queue at stops waiting to pay as they entered. Automatic ticket machines meant to mitigate this broke down making matters worse; all this increased journey times. The vehicles had flimsy bodywork, easily damaged by the slightest collision, and were also mechanically unreliable: their rear engines often caught fire. This made them unpopular with drivers and maintenance staff. Although the type worked satisfactorily in the provinces, it was just not suited for the rigours of London service. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Jim Blake Size 253MB Category Non-Fiction > General File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/Jw5glnUyErsn https://devuploads.com/2gk2b9y915bw

The Green Howards in the Great War by John Sheen (.ePUB)
📮 The Green Howards in the Great War by John Sheen (.ePUB) In answer to Lord Kitchener’s appeal, in late August and September 1914 many men joined Alexandra’s Princess of Wales’s Own Yorkshire Regiment, better known as The Green Howards. Recruits came from around the Middlesbrough area and the ironstone mines on the North Yorkshire moors, while others came from the East Durham coalfield and the Durham City area. The 8th and 9th Battalions left the Regimental Depot in Richmond in late September and moved to Frensham on the Hampshire/Surrey border, where they trained hard until bad weather forced a move to barracks in Aldershot. They arrived on the Somme front at the end of June 1916, but were not involved in the fighting until 5 July, when the 9th Battalion captured Horseshoe trench and Lieutenant Donald Simpson Bell won the VC when he destroyed a German machine gun position. On 10 July both battalions took part in the capture of Contalmaison, a village that had been a first day objective. A second VC was awarded posthumously to Private William Short of the 8th Battalion during the fighting in Munster Alley in August 1916. ♻️ Book's Info: Author John Sheen Size 90MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/UvTLyyK0eCuO https://devuploads.com/n0gfxqpkqujy
