Résultat pour "Das Boot" dans Biographies et mémoires

In Deutschland spielte die Kriegsmarine über viele Jahrhunderte keine Rolle. Erst Kaiser Wilhelm II. ließ zum Schutz der deutschen Kolonien und zur Abwehr gegen eine britische Seeblockade eine eigene Flotte bauen. Da sie der britischen Marine hoffnungslos unterlegen war, favorisierte die kaiserliche Admiralität den Einsatz von U-Booten, um mit relativ geringen Mitteln eine größtmögliche Wirkung zu erzielen. Auch im Zweiten Weltkrieg spielten die deutschen U-Boote lange eine zentrale Rolle, ehe die alliierte Übermacht und neue Ortungssysteme aus den Jägern Gejagte machten.

Von Hunderten deutscher U-Boote, die im Zweiten Weltkrieg im Einsatz waren, sind nur wenige zurückgekehrt. Als Grundlage für diesen Zeitzeugenbericht dienten Klaus Willmann die Erinnerungen eines Besatzungsmitgliedes und das Kriegstagebuch von U 188. Die Mannschaft des U-Boots bestritt einen gefährlichen und strapaziösen Weg von Frankreich bis Malaysia. Der sehr persönliche Bericht des Matrosen Anton Staller lässt nicht nur den Alltag auf dem Boot mit seiner bedrückenden Enge, der ständigen Bedrohung durch Wasserbomben- und Fliegerangriffe plastisch werden.

Es war ein kühner Plan, den Kaiser Karl V. im Jahr 1532 fasste: eine künstliche Wasserstraße zwischen Atlantischem und Pazifischem Ozean. Doch es sollte noch fast 400 Jahre dauern, bis das Mammutprojekt in die Tat umgesetzt werden konnte. Dabei forderte der wilde, von dichtem Regenwald überwucherte Landstrich einen hohen Tribut. Tausende Menschen ließen ihr Leben, bevor am 15. August 1914 die ersten Schiffe den Kanal passieren konnten.

When Amanda K. Jaros learns about the 2,160-mile Appalachian Trail after college, she walks away from a sheltered life dominated by an angry and volatile father and does something unexpected: spends six months backpacking. Alone. She expects to pass the time in the solitary and peaceful wilderness, reflecting on her life's direction. Instead, she finds herself part of a community ripe with stinky socks, buckets of ice cream, and trail magic. What matters on the trail is not a hiker's past or parents, her fears or failures, but rather, what matters is the connections we make with each other.
