About this deal

D Day Through German Eyes' presents the transcripts of interviews which my grandfather carried out with German veterans in 1954, on the tenth anniversary of D Day. The audiobook reflects Rhonda’s own journey and shares the most direct way out for those experiencing hardship and the path to end pain and suffering endured by so many, and it shines a light on a future without anxiety or fear. One Thursday lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass.

Prince Harry demands new Mirror hacking trial 'as soon as possible' unless his demands for compensation are. I have visited the Normandy beaches many times and only really know the history of the landings from the Allied perspective as i expect many of us do. This author claimed to have found a Yaqui spiritualist named Don Juan who taught him about Yaqui beliefs and introduced him to peyote meditation.But it served to create in me a fascination with WWII and how it happened and how did this one diminutive man almost achieve world domination? In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

In one book, Comrades to the End, written by former commander Otto Weidinger, he actually argues that the Oradour-sur-Glane massacre was NOT the fault of the Germans at all, and that the soldiers responsible for the burning of the church and the civilians inside were actually Alsatians!

New B-format paperback - 'We weren't afraid of the Allies as soldiers, but we were afraid of their materiel - it was going to be men versus machines. The soldiers interviewed, to me, represented a very intelligent and civilized society that had been taken over by an insanely evil government. In these diaries, no mention is made of any kind of shooting prisoners out of hand or killing of civilians and destruction of property.

It was very interesting to listen to their explanations and descriptions of attitudes and motivations. For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. It is important to consider the author's background and potential biases when evaluating the accuracy of the book. When Billy can’t find the informant, he wonders if Kate is secretly harboring her, since the two grew close during Kate's weeks undercover.Marcus Rashford 'went on a 12-hour tequila bender in Belfast' as he was spotted in nightclub last week… then.

It's a phenomenal memoir of panzer warfare, the collapse of the Third Reich and the appalling suffering of civilians and troops on all sides, as World War 2 drew to an apocalyptic conclusion in the fields of Germany. But there is one area of the history of this war and, in fact, almost all wars that escapes media exploitation and that is the truth of the experiences of the real frontline soldier and sailor. There are certainly differences in the way the Germans and the Allies perceived and recorded the events of D-Day.

Author Holger Eckhertz claims the accounts were gathered by his grandfather, journalist Dieter Eckhertz, in the 1950s. My thinking goes this way: The interviews cover many curious aspects of military technology and "less well known" aspects of battles. What could be a great narrative is let down not only by the German accents which at times drove me to distraction, but by the fact this is total fiction.
