【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Wars Apart: WWII letters of love and anguish ? from Cairo to Christchurch【電子書籍】[ Alan Samson ]

＜p＞＜em＞Wars Apart＜/em＞ is the cross-forces' World War II love story of Norman and Gwen Samson, as told in a cache of letters made public after 75 years hidden from view. Serving in the Middle East, both had distinguished service records, she with the South African Army, he with the British. Though also British, Gwen enlisted while working in Africa, quickly rising to become personal assistant to the two most senior members of the South African forces, Field Marshal and prime minister Jan Christiaan Smuts and General Francois Henry Theron; Norman was a senior figure in Britain's organisation of troops and transport.＜br /＞ Though rarely able to be together, they gained permission to marry in Cairo. Towards war's end, a pregnant Gwen was repatriated to her father's home in Scotland. But when Norman was finally able to follow, the reunion was short-lived. Apparently suffering from post-traumatic stress, a suicide attempt saw him voluntarily committed to an asylum. Apart again. As the letters kept coming, however, each one was indicative of a deep and enduring love. In 1947, the now family of three emigrated to Wellington, New Zealand, where there were more twists to the story.＜br /＞ The book is told mostly through the couple's many surviving letters, interspersed with meticulously researched historical context and human stories. It also includes a wide range of historical photos, most from the Samson family collection and not previously published.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】From Sapper to Spitfire Spy The WWII Biography of David Greville-Heygate DFC【電子書籍】[ Sally-Anne Greville Heygate ]

＜p＞David Greville-Heygate was one of the few men who served in both the army and the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, but it was in the sky that he really earned his stripes. Stalking the skies flying photo-reconnaissance missions with No. 16 Squadron over Northern France, he was to win the illustrious and highly coveted Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC). Another highlight saw him in action in the skies above the French coastline in preparation for the D-Day landings, taking photographs that would provide the allies with essential intelligence upon which to base their plans. Based in Holland in December 1944, David flew armed recces with No.168 Squadron then transferred to No.2 Squadron where he reported on troop movements behind German lines. During the course of a dynamic and eventful career, he flew a wide variety of iconic wartime aircraft including Lysanders, Mustangs, Typhoons and Spitfires in England, the Netherlands and Germany.Although there have been many stories about the Battle of Britain there has been less published about the life of a photo reconnaissance pilot during this time. David's thrilling exploits in the sky and the part he played within the context of the wider war are enlivened here to great effect by his daughter, Sally-Anne Greville Heygate, herself a professional photographer. Using snippets from diary entries, letters, logbooks, squadron records and other documents, she has managed to construct an engaging history of a talented photo-reconnaissance pilot and the war in which he fought.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Alfred Mendl and his family are brought on a crowded train to a Nazi concentration camp after being caught trying to flee Paris with forged papers. His family is torn away from him on arrival, his life's work burned before his eyes.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Rumours: The Memoir of a POW in WWII【電子書籍】[ Chas Mayhead ]

＜p＞Charles "Chas" Mayhead was one of the millions of young British lads of the 30s who didn't have a clear idea of what they wanted to do with their lives. One thing Chas did know was that he wanted to get out of his working-class London neighborhood and see the world. And he wanted to be able to afford a tailor-made suit. And he wanted to own a car. When his nation called him to military service, he was happy to go in. At least he'd have a chance to see something new, have an opportunity to "be someone".＜br /＞ Before his basic training was completed, England had declared war on Germany. Suddenly the situation had changed. Chas was assigned duty in the Middle East, and within a year of his enlistment, he was separated from his company in the desert and was captured by the Germans.＜br /＞ What followed was a fascinating and terrifying experience of life as a prisoner during World War II: He was held as a captive in North Africa, shipped in a cargo vessel across the Mediterranean to Italy, and transported by train to a prison camp in Northern Italy. He then escaped across the Alps toward Switzerland, was re-captured just outside the Swiss border, was moved by freight car to a POW camp in Germany, and escaped again when the prisoners marched toward Dresden near the end of the war.＜br /＞ This book is a first-person account of these harrowing experiences. In the book, Chas Mayhead tells what life was like for a prisoner during that nightmarish period of world history. He tells of the differences among the treatments of the prisoners by the Germans vs. the Italians, tells of the tensions among the prisoners themselves, of the kind of work the men did and the kind of food they ate. In his own unique voice, he relates the experiences in the camps, whether it was the barbed-wire holding area in North Africa, the open-air work camp in North Italy, or the cold and muddy labor camp in Germany.＜br /＞ Some of the stories are humorous, filled with the kind of small joys only a prisoner can find. Others are tense and frightening: getting into a fist fight with prison guards, being discovered in an escape attempt, standing before a firing squad, or smuggling food into a barracks. Through it all, though, Chas maintains his strong love of country and his fierce sense of pride. And, obviously, he makes it. He comes out of the experience a changed man. Not changed the way he'd wanted to be when he longed to escape his neighborhood, but changed in the way such daily confrontations with death and starvation might change a person: Giving him a recognition of life as a gift, as a daily joy to be appreciated, not taken for granted.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞The Other Pearl Harbor＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞While December 7, 1941, is etched in history as the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, that same day marked another critical event far from Hawaii. Over 5,000 miles away, the Japanese launched an invasion of the Philippines, targeting the island nation with relentless bombing and strafing attacks as they advanced toward Manila. Amid this chaos, a group of American nurses-88 from the Army and 12 from the Navy-stationed in military hospitals across the Philippines, found themselves in an unimaginable situation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To protect patients from the advancing enemy, these nurses, along with 50 American doctors and numerous hospital workers, evacuated truckloads of patients to the dense tropical forests of the Bataan Peninsula. There, they established open-air field hospitals. For four months, the Japanese forces were unable to breach the American-Filipino defense line that shielded these makeshift hospitals. By the time of their eventual surrender, the number of patients had reached 10,000.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Following their surrender, the patients and the medical staff were sent to＜/p＞ ＜p＞various prisoner-of-war camps, where the nurses and doctors once again set up hospitals to care for the wounded and ill. Nearly three years later, in February 1945, American troops liberated the prisoners. Among them was Ethel "Sally" Blaine, the author's aunt. This account, largely drawn from her own words in an oral history recorded before her death in 2005, tells her remarkable story.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This is the true story of a Polish WWII courier who survived two secret parachute missions and escaped Gestapo capture multiple times. The six-man commando team of Operation "Jacket" was dropped into Poland before dawn on December 28, 1941, to deliver information and money to the Underground authorities. They flew in under fire, parachuted into a dangerous area, and got into a savage firefight with the Germans almost immediately, losing two men. Second Lieutenant Chciuk and three others got away despite a determined German manhunt, and fulfilled their various assignments in Poland. Chciuk's assignment was to make an assessment of the state of the Polish Underground and report back to HQ. His observations include two unforgettable trips to the Warsaw Ghetto. There followed an arduous and complicated plan for Chciuk to return to HQ in London "by any means possible," which included several clandestine border crossings and numerous assumed identities, several visits to Gestapo headquarters in Zagreb, and time spent in a Spanish concentration camp. He finally got back to England in June of 1943, filed his report, and was awarded the Virtuti Militari, Poland's highest military decoration. This is his story.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Beaufighter & Mosquito Operations in WWII The Memoirs of a Radar Operator【電子書籍】[ Zby?ek Necas-Pemberton ]

＜p＞"Simply put, this is an unvarnished account of a dedicated young man who fled his country ahead of the Nazi occupation, who would never see his family again, and who unselfishly fought the Germans to protect his adopted homeland."-The Journal of the Air Force Historical Foundation Zby?ek Ne?as was just 18, and still a high school student, when he escaped from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia a month before the outbreak of war in 1939. He managed to make his way to Britain where he had a cousin. Ne?as enlisted in the RAF in 1940, initially being posted as an interpreter at the Czech Depot. Some of his early duties involved the interrogation of captured German aircrew. He was, however, determined to fly. That wish came not as a pilot, but as a radar operator. In time, Ne?as was posted to 68 Squadron, which throughout the war had a large number of Czech exiles on its strength ? one flight was entirely Czech-manned. In this moving memoir, he details just what it was like to serve as part of an RAF night fighter crew during the second half of the Second World War. From the organization of squadron and operations, to the directing of night fighters in the bomber stream, problems of maintaining contact with the target, the duration of patrols to interception tactics, all, and more, is revealed in this book. Having trained on the Blenheim Mk.IV, Ne?as' operational patrols began on Bristol Beaufighters, the squadron subsequently converting to de Havilland Mosquitoes. There are of course, the graphic accounts of victory in the air. This includes combat with a Heinkel He 177 Grief over North Sea, or the explosion of a Dornier Do 217 after another successful interception. As well as nighttime intruder operations over Europe, from the summer of 1944, 68 Squadron, Ne?as included, found itself drawn into the battle against Hitler's V-weapons, particularly the V1. Ne?as' crew ended the war with three confirmed kills, one probable, and two damaged. After the war, Ne?as returned to his homeland where he received the tragic news that that none of his immediate family had survived the German occupation This is Zby?ek Ne?as' story of his part in the defense of Britain's skies and the final victory against the Third Reich.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
