Two manuscripts in one audiobook: The Weimar Republic and The Treaty of Versailles. How he legally became a dictator by using a democratic process? Or what were the events that led up to his reign of terror? The answers lie in the Weimar Republic. Amid the devastation of World War I, Germany’s monarchy provided no answers.

Nach der Landung der Alliierten am 6. Juni 1944 in der Normandie musste die französische Kollaborationsregierung unter Marschall Pétain außer Landes gebracht werden; mit dem greisen Marschall kamen Minister, Staatssekretäre und ein ganzer Hofstaat in die französische Enklave an der Donau. Im Schatten des großen Krieges überwinterte vom 8. September an die politisch einflusslose Vichy-Regierung in dem abseits gelegenen Hohenzollernschloss von Sigmaringen auf der Schwäbischen Alb; von der neuen Hauptstadt im oberen Donautal sollte die Rückeroberung Frankreichs betrieben werden.

Das Dritte Reich hat mit dem 2. Weltkrieg wohl für eine der dunkelsten Stunden der Menschheit gesorgt. Mit dem nationalsozialistischen Völkermord geschah eines der größten Menschheitsverbrechen. Der Autor bemühte sich in jahrelangen Recherchen die Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts aufzuarbeiten.

Denn Geschichte wiederholt sich - nicht am gleichen Ort und nicht in der gleichen Abfolge - aber trotzdem immer wieder.

The Undercurrents is a dazzling work of biography, memoir, and cultural criticism told from a precise vantage point: a stately nineteenth-century house on Berlin’s Landwehr Canal, a site at the center of great historical changes, but also smaller domestic ones. The view from this house offers a ringside seat onto the city’s theater of action. The building has stood on the banks of the canal since 1869, its feet in the West but looking East, right into the heart of a metropolis in the making, on a terrain inscribed indelibly with trauma.

Inspiriert von der damaligen „bleiernen" Zeit und den Alltagserlebnissen in der DDR stehen diese Momentaufnahmen wie Zeitzeugnisse einer vergangenen Epoche. Sie beschäftigen sich mit dem stupiden grauen Arbeitsalltag, mit Umweltzerstörung, mit Freizeitbeschäftigungen, Kneipen- oder Konzertbesuchen, sind aber auch einigen literarischen Vorbildern gewidmet oder reflektieren frustrierende Erfahrungen aus der Grundwehrdienstzeit des Autors (1977–1979), die er als Soldat in einer Rostocker Kaserne verbringen musste.

American journalist and author William L. Shirer was a war correspondent for six years in Nazi Germany, having a front-row seat to Hitler’s rise in influence and power.
