 <p>Klokken 1.00 den 6. juni 1944 hoppet menig Marcus Heim ut av et C-47-transportfly over Normandie. Oppdraget hans var, sammen med tre andre, å erobre den strategisk viktige La Fière-broen, der allierte tropper etter landgangen skulle krysse elven Merderet. Oppdraget lyktes, og de fire mennene ble senere hedret for innsatsen. Heims A-kompani var bare et av mange luftbårne som natten før D-dagen dalte ned bak de tyske linjene. I den første bølgen av fallskjermsoldater var det 20 000 mann. Etter dem ble de fem strendene som den allierte overkommandoen hadde valgt ut, invadert utover dagen. D-dagen var den største militære operasjonen i historien, og i forkant lå måneder med trening og villledning av tyskerne. Ikke alle planer holdt. De første mennene på Omaha Beach ble slaktet av tungt tysk artilleri. Likevel greide de å få i land drøyt 156 000 mann i løpet av dagen. Hitler-Tyskland var nå under press på alle fronter.</p><p>All verdens historie tar deg med på en halsbrekkende reise til fortiden, slik at du kan ta del i historiens største begivenheter.

 1. september 1939 angrep Hitler Polen. Landet skulle erobres lynraskt før Storbritannia og Frankrike rakk å komme til unnsetning. Massive tyske panserdivisjoner dundret fram, effektivt støttet av Luftwaffe, som knuste den polske hærens bastioner og ødela broer, veier og radiostasjoner. Polakkene forsvarte seg overraskende tappert men måtte til slutt kapitulere. Den 6. oktober var Polen i tyske hender. Våren 1940 gjennomførte tyskerne sin blitzkrieg i deler av Sentral- og Nord-Europa. På få måneder falt Danmark, Norge, Nederland, Belgia og Frankrike. Men da Hitler sendte Luftwaffe mot Storbritannia, måtte diktatoren erkjenne at britene var hardere å slå enn forventet.

Oppfinnelsenes Tidsalder

by Historie

 <p>I år 1775 tilføyde den skotske universitetsunderviseren James Watt et ekstra kammer til en allerede eksisterende dampmaskin. Dermed skapte han et maskinmonster som verden aldri noen gang hadde sett maken til, og drev - uten å vite det - mennesket inn i oppfinnelsenes tidsalder. I løpet av det neste århundret dukket det opp dampende fabrikker overalt, og kloden ble sporlagt fra Sibir til Afrika. Men revolusjonen stoppet ikke med det. Snart kunne europeerne og amerikanerne nå hverandre med lydens hastighet gjennom telegraf og telefon, og visjonære ingeniører begynte å utfordre naturkreftene med det nye byggematerialet stål. De skapte broer over brede elver og juv og strebet mot himmelen med bygninger som nesten nådde skyene. Og knapt 200 år etter James Watts oppfinnelse hadde mennesket sendt raketter ut av atmosfæren, og de hadde begynt å utforske andre planeter enn vår egen. Naturkreftene hadde blitt temmet.</p><p>All verdens historie tar deg med på en halsbrekkende reise til fortiden, slik at du kan ta del i historiens største begivenheter.

Massedød Ved Fronten

by Historie

5,51€ + 10% CARD

 <p>Det skulle vært en rask lynkrig der det tyske keiserriket satte naboene på plass. På den andre siden, hos ententemaktene Frankrike, Russland og Storbritannia, var optimismen også på topp: Oppildnet av eventyrlyst meldte tusenvis av unge menn seg frivillig for å forsvare nasjonens ære. Virkeligheten ble en helt annen. Snart var frontene fastlåst i et dødelig gjørmehelvete midt i Europa, og på tross av nye våpen som giftgass, ubåter med torpedoer, armerte tanks og jagerfly med maskingevær trakk krigen i langdrag. Seigpiningen tok først slutt da USA i 1917 følte seg provosert til å gå inn i krigen. Ankomsten av friske amerikanske styrker snudde snart krigen til ententens fordel. Og selv om det tyske keiserriket tapte, ble våpenhvilen ønsket velkommen. De sivile tyskerne sultet, og revolusjonen ulmet like under overflaten, godt inspirert av utviklingen i Russland. Men Versailles-traktatens betingelser gav ikke varig fred, snarere tvert imot.</p><p>All verdens historie tar deg med på en halsbrekkende reise til fortiden, slik at du kan ta del i historiens største begivenheter.

 I 12 år hadde Hitler regjert i Tyskland. Da riket skrumpet inn våren 1945, slo Føreren seg ned i Berlin. Midt i april forskanset han seg i en bunker dypt under hovedstaden, men også der kunne de russiske bombene høres døgnet rundt. Til slutt måtte selv Hitler innse at kampen var over. Føreren avslo alle forslag om å flykte og valgte heller å ta i bruk både en pistol og en cyanidpille - legens forslag til en sikker måte å ta livet av seg selv på. Adolf Hitler var bare ett av en rekke offer i sluttspillet. Et av krigens verste luftangrep tok livet av tusenvis av sivile livet i Dresden, og i Østersjøen satte et tysk flyktningskip kurs mot historiens største skipskatastrofe.
