You almost never get to hear the other side of the story. What was it like to be a child living in Germany as the country descended into war? What did kids do while their dads were away fighting and the rest of the family was living in either privation or terror, or both? As the Bombs Fell is a treasure-trove of information about life as a child in Nazi Germany, told by a man who actually lived the experience. Otto Schmalz allows us to see, through the innocent eyes of a child, the realities of German life in several different circumstances – the regimentation and camaraderie of the Jungvolk and the boys camp that children were sent to to get them out of harm’s way in the cities, the pastoral and relatively idyllic life of the agrarian countryside even though there was a war on, the sheer terror of living in a bombed-out city that continues to experience nightly raids. Hannover was a strategic centre and as such received the attention of nearly one million Allied bombs of every kind. His charming yet nerve-wracking tale is enhanced with numerous historical photos, of Otto, his family and friends, and of the destruction wreaked upon his city as he paints another fascinating yet seldom-seen up-close picture of many German lives in war time. As the Bombs Fell is a straightforward telling of the other side of the story of the Second World War, with the author’s insights, as he’s learned, into human nature.

January 1964: America is embroiled in the Cold War. Tensions erupt following the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the United States and Soviet Union both possess massive nuclear arsenals, poised to engage in mutually assured destruction. For the United States, this means that massive aircraft armed with nuclear weapons are constantly circling allied airspace, ready to attack at a moment's notice. A B-52 Stratofortress, icon of American airpower, suffers engine failure while on patrol and must return for repairs. A retrieval crew expects a short flight from Massachusetts to bring the aircraft to its base in Georgia. But within an hour of departure, the flight collides with a colossal blizzard. Wind shear rips off the tail, sending the aircraft into a spiral. The crew must eject-at 30,000 feet, in a blinding blizzard, in the middle of the night. Crew members land miles away from each other in the mountains of western Maryland, facing near zero temperatures, up to four feet of snow, and difficult terrain. They have only their parachutes and simple survival kits. Phones ring in pre-dawn hours to alert military authorities and emergency responders, spurring a town-wide effort to find the downed crew in bleak conditions. But the situation is more dire with the aircraft's payload of live nuclear bombs on board-a payload with more than 1,000 times the destructive potential than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in WWII. Crews must race to prevent the loss of life of the crew and the unthinkable detonation of nuclear weapons or radiation leaks on American soil. This is the story of a community-wide effort to band together and overcome incredible odds to help crew and country in the wake of a B-52 down.

On the Whit bank holiday weekend of 1941, the neutral Irish capital was suddenly and inexplicably bombed by the German Luftwaffe. On a gloriously starry night four bombs fell, the last and most devastating at precisely 2:05 a.m. on 31 May. There was a thunderous explosion and the earth quaked. Tremors were felt as far away as Enniskerry and Mullingar. Panic and pandemonium reigned in a "city seized with fear". Destruction was astonishing – homes and shops in the North Strand were largely demolished, 2,250 buildings in the city suffered some bomb damage, over forty people were killed, about 100 seriously injured, many more wounded. Hospitals and morgues filled within hours. Almost 2,000 people were rendered homeless refugees. It would later be determined that in terms of destructive performance a monstrous "perfect bomb" had done the deed. For two-thirds of a century, no book was written on what the Evening Herald proclaimed a "Night of Horror". Later called a "seismic event" in Dublin's history. Finally, near the end of the century both the Irish Military Archive and Dublin City Archive declassified their documents on the bombing – some stamped "Secret" for sixty years. At last, the theories and myths long surrounding the mysterious incident would be examined in the light of real evidence. But the heart of a book on so human a tragedy is the oral historical testimony of survivors, rescuers and observers who provide graphic eyewitness accounts. This is a narrative social history of immense human drama.

Although born in America in 1928, Thomas Dodd moved to the North of England with his American mother and returning English father. Finally settling down in South Shields in North East England, Tom spent most of his formative years in the intense poverty and dramatically difficult life of a working class family in Depression and WWII England. Coping with determination and the renowned British humor the family perseveres and survives in this well written gripping, eye opening but still entertaining memoir.
