SOLDATEN: ON FIGHTING, KILLING, AND DYING
NEITZEL, SOENKE
On a visit to the British National Archive in 2001, Sonke Neitzel made a remarkable discovery: reams of
meticulously transcribed conversations among German POWs that had been covertly recorded and recently
declassified. Neitzel would later find another collection of transcriptions, twice as extensive, in the National
Archive in Washington, D.C. These were discoveries that would provide a unique and profoundly important
window into the true mentality of the soldiers in the Wehrmacht, the Luftwaffe, the German navy, and the military
in general—almost all of whom had insisted on their own honorable behavior during the war. Collaborating with
renowned social psychologist Harald Welzer, Neitzel examines these conversations—and the casual, pitiless
brutality omnipresent in them—from a historical and psychological perspective, and in reconstructing the
frameworks and situations behind these conversations, they have created a powerful narrative of wartime
experience.

SOME GIRLS, SOME HATS AND HITLER
KANTER, TRUDI
In London, in 1984, Trudi Kanter's remarkable memoir was published by N. Spearman. Largely unread, it went
out of print until it was re-discovered by a British editor in 2011 and now, for the first time, it is available to
readers everywhere. In 1938, Trudi Miller, stunningly beautiful, chic, and charismatic, was a hat designer for the
best-dressed women in Vienna. She frequented cafes. She had suitors. She flew to Paris to see the latest
fashions. And she fell deeply in love with Walter Ehrlich, a charming and romantic businessman. But as Hitler’s
tanks roll into Austria, the world this young Jewish couple knows and loves collapses leaving them desperate to
find a way to survive.
