Few World War II actions rival the dramatic battles for the bridges crossing the Rhine and its branches. In 1940, capture of the Arnhem, Nijmegen, and Maas-Waal crossings was the key to Germany's lightning conquest of the Netherlands; in 1944, the Allies' recapture of those bridges was vital to the planned invasion of north-western Germany and thrust into the Ruhr Valley industrial heartland. The strategy and execution of the Allies' airborne strikes are still debated because of their mixed results and high human costs. A participant in the 1945 battle for the Emmerich bridge, Alexander McKee provides an enthralling account of the 1940, 1944, and 1945 operations, all ambitious and innovative in their combinations of airpower and paratroop units with ground forces. He tellingly contrasts Germany's brilliant 1940 success at Arnhem, carried off with bravura against determined Dutch resistance, with the Allies' strategically costly failures in 1944 and their hard-won success in 1945, including the Remagen coup -the capture of an intact bridge that carried the Allied forces deep into Germany. McKee's account covers not only the foresights and flaws in planning and the successes and setbacks of execution, but also the intensity and horrors of battle.

Travel across the battlefields of WWII with this beautiful book combining historical images, full-color aerial photography, and informative text. In June 1944, Allied forces invaded Nazi-occupied France, beginning a sweep of fierce battles that would eventually liberate Western Europe. With aerial photography, historic images, maps, and other illustrations, Race to the Rhine brings readers to the fateful grounds where men sacrificed their lives for freedom. The destruction of German forces in Normandy’s Falaise pocket was a decisive victory: by September, British troops were in Ghent and Liege; Canadian forces liberated Ostend, and in northeast France, Patton’s Third Army was moving rapidly to the German border. The liberation of the Low Countries would not prove as straightforward, however. Operation Market Garden—Montgomery’s brave thrust toward the Rhine at Arnhem—ended in failure with over six thousand paratroopers captured. In late October, belated operations began to clear the Scheldt Estuary and open the port of Antwerp to the Allies. Belgium was almost free of the Nazi yoke, and the Netherlands looked likely to be cleared before Christmas. Then, on December 16, came a major German counter-offensive in the Ardennes. It turned out to be Hitler’s last try: the American defenders held, and in the spring, the Rhine was finally gained. Perfect for the armchair traveler or for those who want a historic guide as they visit significant sites, Race to the Rhine supplies essential information on the places that best represent the battles today.

This book explores the 'Black Horror' campaign as an important chapter in the popularisation of racialised discourse in European history. Originating in early 1920s Germany, this international racist campaign was promoted through modern media, targeting French occupation troops from colonial Africa on German soil and using stereotypical images of 'racially primitive', sexually depraved black soldiers threatening and raping 'white women' in 1920s Germany to generate widespread public concern about their presence. The campaign became an international phenomenon in Post-WWI Europe, and had followers throughout Europe, the US and Australia. Wigger examines the campaign's combination of race, gender, nation and class as categories of social inclusion and exclusion, which led to the formation of a racist conglomerate of interlinked discriminations. Her book offers readers a rare insight into a widely forgotten chapter of popular racism in Europe, and sets out the benefits of a historically reflexive study of racialised discourse and its intersectionality.
