When a German victory became impossible, the July 1944 conspirators plotted to bring a quick end to the war, hoping to negotiate a peace with the Western allies and possibly to join them in a war against Russia. Because the Allies would not negotiate with Hitler, the plotters planned to assassinate him and seize control of the government, using the Replacement Army to overcome the S.S. and the Nazi Party. This army would also maintain order within Germany, a task that would require more than half-a-million trained men. The conspirators convinced key Replacement Army officers to withhold men from the Field Army in the spring of 1944 in preparation for taking over the country. The result was a German army that lacked enough reserve divisions to counter the invasion of France and the Red Army attack in Russia. Although the plotters failed to kill Hitler, they hastened the war's end by weakening the German army. Dunn examines the 1944 July Plot from a manpower and logistics perspective to demonstrate that the conspirators did, in fact, achieve their goal of hastening the war's end.

Hitler's Traitors -German Resistance to the Nazis is the story of the groups and individuals that opposed Hitler and his government and tells of their heroic, but largely ineffective, efforts to rid themselves of the most evil regime in modern times. They came from many different backgrounds -Protestant pastors, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Niemoeller; Catholic bishops such as Clements Galen, who was Bishop of Munster, and his cousin Konrad, Count von Preysing, Bishop of Berlin; politicians Otto Wels and Ernst Thalmann, students Hans and Sophie Scholl, their friends Christoph Probst and Alexander Schmorell and their university professor, Kurt Huber; military men such as Claus von Stauffenberg and Admiral Wilhelm Canaris and even a member of the Waffen 55, Kurt Gerstein. Sadly by the time the Nazi regime came to an end most of those Germans who had resisted it were dead: arrested, imprisoned, tried and executed in the most barbaric manner.

Fans of Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club picks eager for their next moving historical novel—look no further! Readers of The Alice Project and The Lost Girls of Paris will be enthralled by V.S. Alexander’s The Traitor. Drawing on the true story of the White Rose—the resistance movement of young Germans against the Nazi regime—The Traitor tells of one woman who offers her life in the ultimate battle against tyranny during one of history’s darkest hours. In the summer of 1942, as war rages across Europe, a series of anonymous leaflets appears around the University of Munich, speaking out against escalating Nazi atrocities. The leaflets are hidden in public places, or mailed to addresses selected at random from the phone book. Natalya Petrovich, a student, knows who is behind the leaflets—a secret group called the White Rose, led by siblings Hans and Sophie Scholl and their friends. As a volunteer nurse on the Russian front, Natalya witnessed the horrors of war first-hand. She willingly enters the White Rose’s circle, where every hushed conversation, every small act of dissent could mean imprisonment or death at the hands of an infuriated Gestapo. Natalya risks everything alongside her friends, hoping the power of words will encourage others to resist. But even among those she trusts most, there is no guarantee of safety—and when danger strikes, she must take an extraordinary gamble in her own personal struggle to survive. Praise for V.S. Alexander’s The Irishman’s Daughter “Accompanied by an expertly rendered plot, bold and empathetic characters, and prose that jumps off the page, this tale will particularly satisfy fans of historicals and those looking for stories about the redeeming grace of faith and hard work.” —Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

At the end of the Second World War, nearly 200 British citizens were under investigation for assisting Nazi Germany. Some have remained notorious, such as William Joyce (Lord Haw-Haw) and John Amery who went to the gallows for High Treason, but as this meticulously researched study shows, men like Joyce and Amery are only the visible part of a much larger and more intriguing story below the surface. Renegades is drawn entirely from original documentary material, eyewitness accounts and intelligence files. Adrian Weale traces the course of treason in the Second World War from its roots in Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists, through the war and subsequent investigations by MI5, up to the trial, imprisonment and in some cases execution of the traitors. Since Renegades was first published in 1994, many files previously restricted by privileged access have been released into the Public Records Office, and a number of other files, including several from MI5, have become available. Adrian Weale has revised his book, incorporating this new material, making Renegades a more comprehensive and authoritative study. Much here will be new to historians, including the first complete account of the British Free Corps - the Waffen-SS unit composed entirely of British subjects - and the identity of all its members, some of whom have been interviewed for this book. Also revealed is the extraordinary career of the conman who joined the Special Air Service and who, after capture by the Germans, informed on his POW camp comrades before volunteering to fight with the Waffen-SS on the Russian front; and in France, the story of the middle-aged British spinster who joined the Gestapo. Though regarded as highly dangerous at the time, German efforts to cultivate traitors in British ranks were for the most part stunningly unsuccessful - not least, as this book reveals, because much of that effort was entrusted to a British Fascist turned double agent at work in the heart of the Third Reich.

There was something powerful about it, something magnetic. He had witnessed the effect of such uniforms in the newsreels; now he was about to wear one. But this SS uniform -- the uniform proudly worn by so many maniacs and murderers -- bore a Union Jack...It was an insult to King and Country. In November 1943 the Nazis capture British secret agent John Lockhart while he is on a Resistance mission to German-occupied Crete. They give him a stark choice: betray his country or die. In a decision some might consider treason and moral folly, Lockhart acts out of love and strikes a bargain with his captors: in return for his wife, who is interned in a concentration camp, he will change sides. But he is stunned to learn that his mission is to lead the British Free Corps, a clandestine unit of the SS composed of British fascists and renegades culled from POW camps. Aware that he, like them, will be branded a traitor, Lockhart seeks to redeem himself by destroying a terrifying secret weapon that threatens to change the course of history.

Little is known today of the extent and intensity of the anti-Nazi activity that occurred inside Hitler’s Germany. Even less is known about those whose courage and conviction drove them to risk—and lose—everything to bring the Third Reich to an end. Drawing on extensive sources, author Louis R. Eltscher examines the role of the German anti-Nazi resistance inside the Third Reich in Traitors or Patriots? Beginning with the post–World War I German society that led to Hitler’s role as führer, Eltscher documents the rise of anti-Nazi activity, different types of resistance groups, and the difficulties in achieving organization. In addition, Eltscher discusses the role of the German Army in detail. He reveals how the resistance determined that Hitler’s elimination by the German Army remained the key to success. Eltscher profiles key resistance figures, considers the reality of an omnipresent totalitarian police state, and studies the moral issues the resistors faced. Presented within the broader context of German history and contemporary world events, this comprehensive study relies on extensive historiography by noted scholars to produce a well-balanced, timely narrative of the German resistance to one of history’s most violent regimes. In its second edition, Traitors or Patriots? tells a story of incredible courage and conviction that transcends time and place—a story for our own time and for all time.

InHitler’s Bounty Hunters, investigative journalist Ad van Liempt pulls back the curtain on the shocking practice of bounty hunters and their roles in the Holocaust. These bounty hunters rounded up over 9,000 Jewish citizens for the Nazis, sometimes chasing families across hundreds of miles for their reward. Most of the bounty hunters were ordinary citizens, not forced into service by the Germans or even ideologically aligned with them, but simply men and women looking for some cash and power. Van Liempt examines the careers of bounty hunters in great detail, telling the stories behind their hunts. He also investigates the bounty hunters’ claim in court that they did not know what happened to their victims after they had delivered them to the Nazis. This haunting book uncovers a facet of the Holocaust that has virtually been overlooked by historians until now.

SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD Chris left Germany just two days before the outbreak of World War II to take a job as radar operator at the small airport at Esbjerg, Denmark. Life was comparatively uneventful until the Nazi hordes overran their tiny northern neighbor. Suddenly Chris was summoned to the office of a German captain. Why, he wanted to know, was she, a German citizen, working in a foreign land during wartime? Under the circumstances it appeared dubious that she was loyal to the Fatherland. The captain, however, could straighten out everything, could get her beautiful clothes, set her up in luxury, if she would extend certain personal favors to him. He waited for her reply. It came quickly. "Fat pig!" For this Chris was promptly arrested, taken to Copenhagen and tried as a traitor. The verdict: Guilty! The penalty: Death! Chris tells of her hairbreadth escape, her perilous crossing into northern Italy with the Gestapo hot on her heels, and her long trek on foot, traveling only at night, down the Italian peninsula to Naples, where she made contact with friends. One wrong move would mean death before a firing squad. She next escaped to Tunis, North Africa, where she became a messenger in the Underground. On one of her missions two friends were instantly killed and she was severely wounded. She woke up in a German field hospital and was told that one of her feet must be amputated. General Rommel, the Desert Fox, arrived at the hospital, questioned her, and had her transferred to a private hospital in Tunis, where the foot was saved. Rommel, who was plotting the death of Hitler, showed her important documents and told her that she and her deceased friends had actually been working on secret missions for him. He arranged for her return to Italy, where supposedly she would be safe with friends in Reggio. As the Allied forces pushed into Italy, however, she once more had to flee, the quarry of Nazis and Allies alike. Hunted like a wild animal in the mountains and caves, she was captured by two German soldiers of the Hermann Goering Division who tied her up and beat her so badly that they left her for dead. Rescued by a sergeant of the German 3d Regiment, 1st Paratroop Division, she was taken to the commanding officer, Colonel Ludwig Heilmann, a strong anti-Nazi. She was adopted by the regiment and became the colonel's confidante; later, miraculously survived Monte Cassino; and finally joined the American forces. Often in the thick of battle, she risked her own life to save the lives of Germans, Italians and Americans alike. Her concern was with humanity, not national origin. She recalls the violent deaths of most of her friends, particularly the day when she and others stood before an SS firing line. Just as she was to be shot, a soldier and dear friend from the paratroop division threw himself before her, taking the bullet and falling dead at her feet. She says, "I write of life here as I lived it, of what I saw and felt about people. Though once I hated every man who wore a German uniform, I later learned that there were many decent, valiant soldiers, regardless of nationality. One should evaluate the individual, not the uniform. My story simply tells the plain facts and the full truth about 'men at war.'" Chris came to the United States in 1947 on a troopship crowded with GI's. Now happily married, she lives the quiet life of a housewife in Oakland, California.

Conrad de Lancey has seen enough of evil: the shadow of fear on the faces of innocents; the roar of tanks through empty streets; the sudden lull before the slaughter begins. Franco's bloody insurrection taught this Englishman all about hell. Arriving in his mother's country, the now Nazi Germany, Conrad is sick at heart. Even Berlin – infamous haven of decadence and vice – salutes fascism. Himmler's black-shirted troops rule the city, and every German arm bears a Swastika. But does every German heart belong to Hitler? When Conrad is arrested by the Gestapo on suspicion of spying, he is rescued by Theo, an old friend from university, now a lieutenant of the Wehrmacht. Together they are drawn into a world of danger and deceit, of plots, paranoia and intrigue where the brave few are united by a single ambition: to free the fatherland from the Führer.

"As well as throwing extra light on the relationship between Röhm and Hitler, [the authors] have discussed the problem, usually glossed over, of why the latter, wtih his strong antipathy to homosexuality and sensitivity to public feeling, should nevertheless have promoted Röhm to high office"--Preface.
