Timoschenko und die Zweite Schlacht um Charkow
0€ 19,95Im Mai 1942 begannen die Sommerkämpfe an der Ostfront. Sowohl auf deutscher wie auf sowjetischer Seite war man ehrgeizig: Die Deutschen waren voll mit ihren Angriffsplänen am südlichen Teil der Ostfront beschäftigt; diese sollten später im Jahr bei Stalingrad und im Kaukasus scheitern. Bei den Vorbe-reitungen wurden sie von einer unerwarteten Offensive der sow-jetischen Südwestfront unter Befehl von dem sehr ehrgeizigen General T überrascht. Der Inspirator dieser Offensive, bei der mehr als 700.000 Sowjetsoldaten eingesetzt worden waren, war kein geringerer als Feldmarschall Stalin selbst.

Tot de laatste man en de laatste patroon
0€ 24,95Op 11 mei 1940 vielen Duitse troepen van de SS-Standarte Der Führer de Nederlandse voorposten bij de Grebbeberg aan. De Nederlandse verdedigers hadden de opdracht gekregen om stand te houden ‘tot de laatste man en de laatste patroon’. Aan het einde van de dag hadden de Duitsers de voorpostenstrook in handen en was het Nederlandse bataljon, III-8 R.I., uiteengeslagen.
