Ergebnis für "Das Boot" in Geschichte

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.

Dieses Hörbuch bietet eine knappe Gesamtdarstellung des Dritten Reiches auf dem neuesten Forschungsstand. Nach einer Analyse der Faktoren, die den Aufstieg des Nationalsozialismus und die Etablierung der Diktatur ermöglicht haben, ist der größere Teil der Lesung den Jahren von 1939 bis 1945 gewidmet, in denen sich die deutsche Geschichte in eine europäische und welthistorische Dimension ausweitet. Klar und prägnant im Urteil informiert Ulrich Herbert über Hitlers Krieg gegen die Sowjetunion, die deutsche Besatzungsherrschaft in Europa und die Ermordung der europäischen Juden.

Not every western American town had a public cemetery nicknamed "Boot Hill". It required a lot of violent deaths for a cemetery to be called "Boot Hill". The first Boot Hill cemeteries were in the cattle towns of Hays and Dodge City, Kansas. Many of the cemetery occupants were cowboys who "died with their boots on" in gunfights, beatings, stabbings, and hangings. There are other famous Boot Hills in Tombstone, Arizona and Deadwood, South Dakota. Boot Hill cemeteries began as public cemeteries. The first victim likely arrived at the cemetery with a fatal gunshot wound.

The U.S. Marine Corps: Boot Camp to Battlefields is that story told in full—an exploration of the history, traditions, challenges, and spirit of one of the world’s most respected fighting forces.
