Two German familiesone corrupt and Aryan, while the other honorable and Jewishform an unlikely and convoluted relationship spanning three generations. Then in June of 1944 comes the inevitable final reckoning. In the waning days of Nazi Germany, two larcenous conspiracies collide tragically in a forgotten backwater of war-ravaged Germany, both plans sabotaged by their lone common participant. Four people die, and four others simply disappear without a trace, though clearly not together. Also missing is a fortune in Nazi gold and artwork. The obscure incident generates a cryptic memo, which finds its way into the highest echelons of the Third Reich. Then the Reich falls, the incident, the treasure, and the memo all disappearing into history. In July 1970, a quarter-century later, the memo resurfaces. And the killings begin again. Drawn unsuspecting into the carnage, the descendants know only that they must unravel the puzzle before one of them becomes the next victim. But the trail is cold and the search frustrating, each new revelation taking them further back in history and deeper into the bizarre world of the Third Reich. And looming before them is the danger zone, a fanatic cabal of SS survivors determined to find the answers first.

History is a tale often told by ghosts and demi-gods, and our relationship to these figures often determines the shape of the narratives we weave about the past. Bismarck's Shadow targets this idea, as it is a book that unearths a fascinating phenomenon of German political culture - the elevation of a dead political figure, Otto von Bismarck, to the level of a demi-god and the effects of such deification on the course of German politics during the first half of the 20th century.Already a central national symbol during his lifetime, after his death Bismarck became the object of a political religion, what Frankel regards as a 'Bismarck Cult'. This book examines how certain ritual practices and a particular historical understanding - a Bismarckian gospel - provided its followers meaning and direction. Extending beyond the cultural as well, Bismarck's Shadow also looks at how the cult of Bismarck translated into political practice. In Frankel's estimation, the logic of the Bismarckian political religion contributed to the right's progressive radicalization from the turn of the century to the triumph of the Nazis. The image of the deceased figure of Bismarck serves as a tool to investigate the transformation of the German right from a traditional, state-supporting group to a populist, radical nationalist movement like Nazism.Timely and compelling, Bismarck's Shadow raises long overdue questions about the political religion of National Socialism, Germans' perceptions about Bismarck, and the relationship between Otto von Bismarck and Adolf Hitler.

What is grand strategy and what is it good for? What are great powers, and which states are great powers today? What are the grand strategies available to great powers? What are the conditions under which a certain strategy is suitable and when should it be rejected? What are the factors affecting the success or failure of a given grand strategy? The present volume provides answers to these questions by introducing a typology of great power grand strategies, as strategies of rising, status quo, and declining powers, as well as through historical illustrations of each type. The reader is thus exposed to strategies such as divide and conquer, biding your time, opportunity strike, primacy, semi-detachment, concert, and appeasement through the experiences of leaders such as Bismarck, Peter the Great, Metternich, Deng Xiaoping, Neville Chamberlain, and Stalin. This analysis is then brought to bear on present developments in the grand strategies of the United States, China, and Russia. The volume should be of interest to both the academic and foreign policy-making communities, and in particular to students of international relations, diplomacy, history, and current international affairs.

It is known that the plan to elect a Prussian prince to the Spanish throne was the proximate, and Bismarck’s “Ems telegram” an immediate cause of the war of 1870. But much has remained obscure about the roles of the principal figures. Lawrence Steefel fills in the lacunae with secret German documents available only after World War II, including the correspondence between Bismarck and Marshal Prim of Spain. It becomes clear that Bismarck did not initiate the Hohenzollern candidacy and that one of his most important reasons for adopting it was his fear of an anti-Prussian coalition of Catholic powers.

Could the course and outcome of World War II be changed redundantly? Possibly, since all you need is a professional, experienced time-traveling historical researcher. The task may not be quite that simple, however, so he had better be very, very careful … The Lebe Technique, a secret “weapon” developed by a theoretical physicist among ODESSA SS exiles fleeing war crimes prosecution in 1960 Argentina, requires endless experimental trials prior to sending an ex-SS officer back to 1939 Berlin along with a full-blown account of “actual” WWII for use in some unknown way to “coach” a German victory. Berlin, renamed Welthaupstadt Germania, the capital of Germany's neo-Nazi Empire by Hitler after the Third Reich caps its “War of World Liberation” by creating numerous foreign provinces, and becoming the seat of Neo-Nazi Germany’s Empire. During imperial year 142, dating from 1933 when the vilified Nazi régime was born, veteran time-traveling Professor James Silverthorne of Goebbels Institut, once the University of Colorado in grossly swollen Greater Denver Gauleitung, the capital of Colorado-Provinz, is vetted by Nazi officialdom to undertake a hazardous retro-temporal research junket in millennia-distant European antiq¬uity. But local counter-dissidence Sicherheitsdienst investigators penetrate an allied revolutionary cell, and arouse suspicion that Silverthorne also members among the patriotic conspirators scheming to overthrow the Neo-Nazi empire, thus forcing his emergency retro-temporal return to the early months of WWII with an assignment to locate, hinder, thwart, or simply eliminate imperial hero of heroes Erich Lustmann, who by some totally unknown means has imitated Nostradamus and is beginning to influence a WWII victory by Nazi Germany. Fearing his “mission impossible” to find Lustmann in bustling, wartime Berlin is precisely that, Silverthorne pursues his redundant world-changing crusade in an exciting time-travel adventure grand in scope and purpose.

Few statesmen in history have inspired the imagination of generations of Germans more than the founder of the Kaiserreich, Otto von Bismarck. The archetype of charismatic leadership, the Iron Chancellor maintained his pre-eminent position in the pantheon of Germany's political iconography for much of the twentieth century. Based on a large selection of primary sources, this book provides an insightful analysis of the Bismarck myth's profound impact on Germany's political culture. In particular, it investigates the ways in which that myth was used to undermine parliamentary democracy in Germany after the Great War, paving the way for its replacement by authoritarian rule under an allegedly 'Bismarckian' charismatic leader, Adolf Hitler. As one of the most powerful weapons of nationalist agitation against the Weimar Republic, the Bismarck myth was never contested. The nationalists' ideologically charged interpretation of Bismarck as the father of the German nation-state and model for future political decision-making clashed with rivalling - and thoroughly critical - democratic and communist perceptions of the Iron Chancellor. The quarrel over Bismarck's legacy demonstrates how the clash of ideologies, particularly between 1918 and 1933, resulted in a highly political fight for the 'correct' and universal interpretation of the German past. Essential reading for anyone interested in modern German history, this book sheds new light on the Weimar Republic's struggle for survival and the reasons for its failure.

Originally published in 1968, this was the first time that a comprehensive selection of documents on Germany in the Age of Bismarck had been made available to students and other readers in the English language. The documents were chosen to illuminate not only Bismarck’s own personality and policies but also the nature of the problems he faced and the reactions of his contemporaries. The substantial introduction serves as a general background and guide to the documents, which are in the form of letters, essays, polemics, speeches, and memoirs, produced in the period itself. They allow the student to obtain a genuine first-hand insight into the workings of minds and institutions in Germany during three of the most eventful decades of her history.
