Stories of the Schutzstaffel: True Accounts of Hitler's Personal Bodyguards Get Your FREE BONUSES When You Download This Book!The instigator and the mastermind behind the Holocaust; Adolf Hitler of Germany, was at the forefront of the Second World War and ruined millions of lives, throwing the entire European continent into chaos. Not only was he hated by the whole world, even some of his own military commanders didn't like him. Most leaders around the world rely on one, maybe two bodyguards to keep them safe. Even the President of the United States today has only one or two teams of security personnel; while there may be many men and women who take turns to protect their leader, the numbers are not as big as you would expect it to be. We will look at the origins of a number of bodies, such as the 'Sturmabteilung' or the SA, the Schutzstaffel (the SS) and the many other sub-sections of the SS such as the FBK, the LSSAH, etc., all of which were tasked with protecting Hitler. From the background, we will move on to individual accounts of men who served on these teams - they were Hitler's personal bodyguards and some stayed with him until the very end. Humanity's depraved nature came to fore with these men; despite having a master who was truly mad and ravenous for blood, they served him loyally. Was it because they were also as depraved as he was? Or were they afraid for their lives and did what they had to, to survive? We can only wonder... Download this book today!

Captivated with the events of World War II, Douglas Rice has received first-hand accounts of veterans who served and creates a portrait that illuminates the dynamics that shaped the greatest armed conflict of our time. These essays strike a responsive chord with veterans' peers and Americans of all ages. One man recounts Hitler Youth taking over his family's home on November 9, 1938, which came to be known as Kristallnacht, or "night of broken glass." One soldier describes concentration camps that they liberated, with details about the living conditions. Another man tells of a volunteer mission he served to save two other seriously wounded soldiers who were close to enemy fire. The stories range from time spent at concentration camps to witnessing fallen soldiers along a battlefield, with a few showing the lighter side of war. Inspiring and insightful, Through Our Eyes: Eyewitness Accounts of World War II illustrates what these men experienced as they served their country. Many will benefit from these veterans' forthright accounts of the most arduous challenges they've ever faced, preserving the history of individuals who went through this war up close and in person.

Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
