STORMING THE EAGLE’S NEST: HITLER’S WAR IN THE ALPS

Book ID/图书代码： 04560013B62857

English Summary/英文概要： From the Fall of France in June 1940 to Hitler’s suicide in April 1945, the swastika flew from the peaks of the High Savoy in the western Alps to the passes above Ljubljana in the east. The Alps as much as Berlin were the heart of the Third Reich.

’Yes,’ Hitler declared of his headquarters in the Bavarian Alps, ’I have a close link to this mountain. Much was done there, came about and ended there; those were the best times of my life . . . My great plans were forged there.’

With great authority and verve, Jim Ring tells the story of how the war was conceived and directed from the Fuhrer’s mountain retreat, how all the Alps bar Switzerland fell to Fascism, and how Switzerland herself became the Nazi’s banker and Europe’s spy centre. How the Alps in France, Italy and Yugoslavia became cradles of resistance, how the range proved both a sanctuary and a death-trap for Europe’s Jews - and how the whole war culminated in the Allies’ descent on what was rumoured to be Hitler’s Alpine Redoubt, a Bavarian mountain fortress.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 从1940年6月法国的战败到1945年4月希特勒自杀事件,纳粹党的十字记号从阿尔卑斯山脉西部法国高萨瓦省的山峰蔓延到东部卢布尔雅那上方的关道上。阿尔卑斯山和柏林一样是第三帝国（希特勒统治下的德国）的要塞。 “是的,”希特勒在巴伐利亚阿尔卑斯山脉的总部宣布道,“我有一条密道可以通往这座山。”“我在那里做过许多事情，许多事情在那里发生，结束；那是我生命中最美好的时光…”，“在那里我制定了许多重要的计划。” 凭借很好的学术权威和写作热情,吉姆瑞恩（Jim Ring）讲述了战争是如何设想的以及领导元首山的撤退事宜,怎么让阿尔卑斯山的军队阻止瑞士落入法西斯的手中,以及瑞士如何成为纳粹党的靠山和欧洲的情报中心。（Susie）
