Regarded as the standard work on the air war over the Eastern Front during World War II, Christer Bergstr m's unique Black Cross/Red Star series covers the history of the air war on the Eastern Front in close detail, with the perspectives of both sides. Based on a close study of German and Russian archive material, as well as interviews with a large number of the airmen who participated in this aerial conflict, it has established itself as the main source on the air war on the Eastern Front.
Black Cross/Red Star, Volume 4 will cover the air war along the entire Eastern Front during the period winter 1942/1943 through the spring of 1943, in great detail, with a balance between German and Soviet archive sources etc, and with many first-hand accounts. It will be of the same size as the other volumes, and it will also contain aircraft color profiles.
Following the publication of Volume 4, new and heavily updated editions of volumes 1, 2 and 3 will follow, and next the subsequent volumes (vols. 5 etc.) will follow.
Large format, heavily illustrated, (aircraft color profiles in the British edition)
"LUFTWAFFE PILOTS IN WORLD WAR II: The Veterans' Stories Volume 1"contains absolutely unique and hitherto unknown facts and personal accounts by Luftwaffe veterans themselves.
Author Christer Bergstr m enjoys the reputation of being one of the world's foremost experts on World War II. He has published 32 books on the subject, most of them in English.
This book answers question: What was it like to be a pilot in Hitler's Luftwaffe during World War II? Bergstr m allows the veterans themselves to provide the answer.
Here you will find things that often don't usually appear in ordinary books about the war.
This first volume contains headlines such as: What was it like to be a pilot in Hitler's Luftwaffe during World War II? What did the veterans say? * "Assi" Hahn tells his story * The terrible "Jochen" Marseille * "Let's not talk about that" Uncomfortable Luftwaffe facts * The Luftwaffe's real results beyond the claims- facts and figures.
From the Swedish Library Service's review of German pilots Vol 1:
"Well written and engaging... richly illustrated with, among other things, photos from the veterans' private photo albums. It is also packed with facts and statistics in several appendices. Christer Bergstr m is an internationally leading expert on the Luftwaffe during World War II. He has been studying the subject for decades and has written several excellent books on the subject. "
All previous published accounts of Operation "Market Garden" end the main story with the evacuation of the British airborne troops from Oosterbeek - which obscures the fact that Operation Market Garden at that time was still to be regarded as essentially a great success. It was only due to the following development of events (including the battle at Overloon in October 1944) that meant that the strategic success of Operation Market Garden could not be utilized to end the war before the turn of the year 1944.
This is a story that has never been told before, and which is described and analysed in detail in the concluding Volume 2 of Christer Bergstr m's "Arnhem 1944".
This is the ultimate book on "Operation Market Garden," by internationally highly acclaimed military historian Christer Bergstr m.
The indepth research made by the author has resulted in many myths and misconceptions being convincingly dispelled, backed up by detailed source notes. . In fact, these two volumes form a completely new image of the battle in the Netherlands in the autumn of 1944.
It was Cornelius Ryan who in 1974 put "Market Garden" so to say "on the map." However, it is obvious that he had no time to go through his vast collection of first-hand material on "Market Garden" before he so sadly passed away that same year. This is a mission that Christer Bergstr m has taken upon himself.
A torrent of new books about "Market Garden" has been published since 1974, and many of its authors - all included - have done meritorious work in producing new research. But it appears quite obvious that nobody has previously tried to go through The Cornelius Ryan Collection in its entirety in order to publish to the public the important pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that Ryan produced but was never able to use in his book. But now it has been done, for the first time, in this book by Christer Bergstr m.
Bergstr m has made a painstaking research work for several years, interviewing veterans and others who participated or witnessed the battle. He has gone through all relevant documents in all relevant archives in the UK, the USA, Germany and the Netherlands, and that material forms the basis of his book.
But even more so: Cross-referencing both sides' documents is absolutely crucial to form an opinion that is as close to the actual events as possible.
The major part of the archive material about the World War II in official collections has now been made accessible, but this has obviously not been enough - for several reasons. To begin with, we have the fact that the German side destroyed most of its remaining military documents at the end of the war. Even if Germany's Bundesarchiv has an impressive collection of documents from World War II at its disposal, it only constitutes a small part of the German military documents that were produced during the war. This is especially true for the last years of the war. In order to get as good an image as possible from the German side, I have during the last few decades had access to large quantities of first-hand material (documents from the war) from private collections - veterans, veterans' associations, collectors, etc.

Описание: This book is the first introduction to the new field called cognitive history. The last decades have seen a noticeable increase in cognitive science studies that have changed the understanding of human thinking. Its relevance for historical research cannot be overlooked any more. Cognitive history could be explained as the study of how humans in history used their cognitive abilities in order to understand the world around them and to orient themselves in it, but also how the world outside their bodies affected their way of thinking. In focus for this book is the relationship between history and cognition, the human mind’s interaction with the environment in time and space. It especially discusses certain cognitive abilities in interaction with the environment, which can be studied in historical sources, namely: evolution, language, rationality, spatiality, and materiality. Cognitive history can give us a deeper understanding of how – and not only what – people thought, and about the interaction between the human mind and the surrounding world.
