Story
Throughout the war on the Eastern Front, there were two consistent trends. The Red Army battled to learn how to fight and win, while involved in a struggle for its very survival. But by 1944 it had a leadership that was able to wield it with lethal effect and with far more effective equipment than before. By contrast, the Wehrmacht had commenced a slow process of decline after the invasion of the Soviet Union. Hitler became increasingly unwilling to delegate decision-making to commanders in the field, which had been crucial to earlier success.

Story
Now capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, Berlin rose from insignificant origins on swampy soil, becoming a city of immigrants over the ages. Through a series of ten vignettes, Mary Fulbrook discusses the periods and regimes that shaped its character—whether Prussian militarism; courtly culture and enlightenment; rapid industrialization and expansion; ambitious imperialism; experiments with democracy; or repressive dictatorships of both right and left, dramatically evidenced in the violence of World War and genocide, and then in the Wall dividing Cold War Berlin.

Story
Nur wenige haben nicht von den furchterregenden Wikingern und ihren waghalsigen Abenteuern gehört. Diese nördlichen Seefahrer, das Schrecken des Mittelalters, prägten die Weltgeschichte auf beeindruckende Weise. Mutig, trotzig und getrieben vom Wunsch nach Entdeckung waren die Nordmänner die gefürchtetsten aller mittelalterlichen Eroberer. Viele hielten sie für unbesiegbar, und sie hielten viele christliche Nationen in ihrem Griff. Von Schottland, England, Frankreich und Irland bis zu den Küsten Spaniens und der Ostsee hinterließen die Wikinger unauslöschliche Spuren.

Story
Am 18. Februar 1882 besteigt Karl Marx in Marseille den Dampfer "Said" und verlässt zum ersten Mal Europa. Den Tod seiner Frau Jenny drei Monate zuvor hat er nicht verwunden. Er ist krank und hofft auf Genesung in Algier. Anhand von teils unpublizierten Quellen erzählt Uwe Wittstock höchst lebendig von der letzten großen Reise des großen Denkers und blickt mit ihm zurück auf sein außergewöhnliches Leben: die wilden Studienjahre in Bonn und Berlin, Marx’ frühe poetische Ambitionen, seine seltsam bremsende Rolle im Revolutionsjahr 1848, dann das ewige Exil, die Zumutungen der Armut.

Story
In Drunk on Genocide, Edward B. Westermann reveals how, over the course of the Third Reich, scenes involving alcohol consumption and revelry among the SS and police became a routine part of rituals of humiliation in the camps, ghettos, and killing fields of Eastern Europe. Westermann draws on a vast range of newly unearthed material to explore how alcohol consumption served as a literal and metaphorical lubricant for mass murder. It facilitated "performative masculinity," expressly linked to physical or sexual violence.
