Between 1941 and 1945, thousands of German Jews, in fear for their lives, made the choice to flee their impending deportations and live submerged in the shadows of the Nazi capital. Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence and interviews with survivors, this book reconstructs the daily lives of Jews who stayed in Berlin during the war years. Contrary to the received wisdom that “hidden” Jews stayed in attics and cellars and had minimal contact with the outside world, the author reveals a cohort of remarkable individuals who were constantly on the move and actively fought to ensure their own survival.

This confidential official publication, originally published in 1951 in an extremely short print run, records the methods of escape used by members of the RAF during WW2. Never released to the general public, it explores all aspects of the camps, the main thrust (190 pages) being the subject of escapes, as well as the reprisals that followed. This account provides the reader with an accurate and unprecedented insight into the subject of escape from German camps during WW2. Organised into three parts: Part I (pages 1-89) - The Organisation, includes chapters on: Prisoner's Psychology; The Problem of Escape; The Organisation of Escape; Intelligence; Forgery; Mapping; Food; Clothing; Tools; Security; and German Countermeasures. Part II (pages 99-281) - Escapes from Prisoner of War Camps. Most air force POWs were kept in separate camps administered by the Luftwaffe. These camps were labelled 'Stalag Luft's'. Includes chapters on escapes from nine separate camps, compiled with the assistance of many named airmen, together with chapters on reprisals and murder. Part III (pages 301-343) - Evacuation & Release, contains an account of the plight of POWs after the invasion of France, and the forced marches during the final stages of the War.

Of the ten thousand prisoners of war held by the Germans during World War II only 30 successfully managed their way to Britain or a neutral country. After 1945, many escapees and PoW's were interviewed by the government and a file built up of their experiences and their efforts. These files were kept secret for nearly 40 years, during the Korean War and Cold War, as they contained evidence of enterprise and resilience that could still be useful to the enemy. This book contains extracts from that evidence as it was compiled by the author Aidan Crawley, himself a PoW, RAF officer and MP.

"Establishes itself as the standard historical work on Nazi Germany’s mass murder of Europe’s Jews. . . . An account of unparalleled vividness and power that reads like a novel. . . . A masterpiece that will endure." — New York Times Book Review The Years of Extermination, the completion of Saul Friedländer's major historical opus on Nazi Germany and the Jews, explores the convergence of the various aspects of the Holocaust, the most systematic and sustained of modern genocides. The enactment of the German extermination policies that resulted in the murder of six million European Jews depended upon many factors, including the cooperation of local authorities and police departments, and the passivity of the populations, primarily of their political and spiritual elites. Necessary also was the victims' willingness to submit, often with the hope of surviving long enough to escape the German vise. In this unparalleled work—based on a vast array of documents and an overwhelming choir of voices from diaries, letters, and memoirs—the history of the Holocaust has found its definitive representation.

As WW2 drew to a close, hundreds of thousands of British and American prisoners of war, held in camps in Nazi-occupied Europe, faced the prospect that they would never get home alive. In the depths of winter, their guards harried them on marches outof their camps and away from the armies advancing into the heart of Hitler's defeated Germany. Hundreds died from exhaustion, disease and starvation. THE LAST ESCAPE is told through the testimony of those heroic men, now in their seventies and eighties and telling their stories publicly for the first time.

The thrilling story of how nine young women, captured by the Nazis for being part of the resistance, launched a bold escape and found their way home. As war raged across Europe, and the Nazi regime tightened its reign of horror and oppression, nine women, some still in their teens, joined the French and Dutch resistance. Caught out in heroic acts against the brutal occupiers, they were each tortured and sent east into Greater Germany to a concentration camp, where they formed a powerful friendship. In 1945, as the war turned against Hitler, they were evacuated from the camp and forced on a death march. Determined to survive, they made a bid for freedom - and so began one of the most breathtaking tales of escape and resilience of the Second World War.

"The only merit of this book - and I insist on it - is that it is true, true from beginning to end. And this, you see, is definitely something!" So writes Andre Rougeyron in the Preface of his memoir, displaying a hint of the passion that undoubtedly accounted for his heroism in France and Germany during World War II - and displaying too his own modest self-regard. His chronicle of the years spent rescuing downed Allied airmen in France and consequently enduring German labor camps remains focused throughout on others. A myriad of individuals - both named and unnamed - and their sufferings and triumphs small and large suffuse his story. His portrait of Normandy under occupation and his descriptions of life and death in the labor camps add important new information to current understanding of how French resisters and the camps operated. Equally significant and also fascinating is his evocation of people from diverse backgrounds brought together under unbearably trying circumstances.
