Eric Bauwens De wiegjes van Lebensborn

seksualiteit, voortplanting en kinderroof in het Derde Rijk

Heinrich Himmler, een voormalige kippenkweker, is ervan overtuigd dat je het mensenras even goed kunt veredelen als dieren- en plantensoorten.

hoe Hitler de oorlog verloor

Met operatie Barbarossa, de Duitse invasie van Rusland in de zomer van 1941, wenste Hitler niets minder te bereiken dan de vernietiging van het Sovjetcommunisme, de uitroeiing van de Joden en het scheppen van lebensraum voor het arische ras. Maar de Duitse opmars werd een kolossale mislukking en leidde tot de totale ineenstorting van het Derde Rijk. In Barbarossa presenteert Jonathan Dimbleby een nieuwe, meeslepend geschreven reconstructie van de meest beslissende veldslag uit de moderne geschiedenis....
