Formed in the fall of 1943, the Fifteenth Air Force was popularly known as the "The Forgotten Fifteenth," as its achievements were overshadowed by more glamorous exploits of the Eighth Air Force in the air war over Germany. Nevertheless, the Fifteenth's contribution to Allied victory was crucial, and a vital part of that was the role played by the escorting fighter groups from the Fifteenth Fighter Command who protected the B-17s and B-24s from the Luftwaffe in the skies over Romania.

Not the textbook sweep of campaigns and commanders, but the three-day delay that cost an empire, the ammunition box that wouldn't open, the cavalry charge that changed nothing, the general who read the wrong map. This book tells the stories of one hundred battles that turned the world — and exactly why they turned the way they did.

Case Red tells the often overlooked story of the fall of Metropolitan France from the evacuation of the BEF at Dunkirk through to the eventual collapse and armistice in June 1940. Even after the legendary evacuation from Dunkirk in June 1940 there were still large British formations fighting the Germans alongside their French allies. After mounting a vigorous counterattack at Abbeville and then conducting a tough defence along the Somme, the British were forced to conduct a second evacuation from the ports of Le Havre, Cherbourg, Brest and St Nazaire.

Though extremely different men in most ways, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Third Reich Fuhrer Adolf Hitler shared a passion for science, technology, and (sometimes impractical) "wonder weapons." In some cases, this fixation paid off handsomely, as in the case of British centrimetric radar, a compact, powerful radar type that enabled fitment to individual aircraft and contributed to the defeat of German U-boats.

Nazi Germany didn’t start with tanks, camps, or war. It began with political chaos, inflation, and a nation hunting “enemies within.” Hitler was voted in, welcomed, and normalized long before dictatorship was obvious. He promised to make Germany “great” again. If you’ve ever wondered why millions backed Hitler, why people watched Jewish neighbors disappear and stayed silent, why propaganda and strongman politics keep returning, or how a democracy can die quietly through fear, division, and a leader promising to fix everything, this audiobook tells the story clearly from start to finish.

Und er war der Spiritus Rector des Kreisauer Kreises, jener Widerstandsgruppe, die sich wie keine zweite in einem jahrelangen mühevollen Diskussionsprozess auf ein detailliertes Programm für eine Neuordnung nach Hitler verständigte.
