( ) Il bombardamento delle città tedesche da parte degli aerei alleati dal 1940 al 1945 costituisce uno dei drammi della Seconda guerra mondiale. L' autore Jorg Friedrich utilizzando ampie fonti storiche e documentarie, raccoglie in una serrata narrazione di grande imparzialità ed equilibrio un'imponente quantità di dati , informazioni, testimonianze: traccia una minuziosa mappa dei bombardamenti e delle perdite subite dalle principali città tedesche. The amount of information compiled by the author is both the main strentgh and the biggest flaw of the book. In one hand the thorough review of the facts brings light over every detail from the reactions of the german populace, to the material damage inflected by the bombs to the war effort, the defensive systems, all the books and art works lost ... but sometimes the book becomes nothing more than a listing, for example, of numbers of houses burnt in the different cities and becomes really boring losing its touching side in the process. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
For five years during the Second World War, the Allies launched a trial and error bombing campaign against Germany's historical city landscape. Peaking in the war's final three months, it was the first air attack of its kind. Civilian dwellings were struck by-in today's terms-"weapons of mass destruction," with a total of 600,000 casualties, including 70,000 children. In The Fire, historian Jörg Friedrich explores this crucial chapter in military and world history. Combining meticulous research with striking illustrations, Friedrich presents a vivid account of the saturation bombing, rendering in acute detail the annihilation of cities such as Dresden, the jewel of Germany's rich art and architectural heritage. He incorporates the personal stories and firsthand testimony of German civilians into his narrative, creating a macabre portrait of unimaginable suffering, horror, and grief, and he draws on official military documents to unravel the reasoning behind the strikes. Evolving military technologies made the extermination of whole cities possible, but owing, perhaps, to the Allied victory and what W. G. Sebald noted as "a pre-conscious self-censorship, a way of obscuring a world that could no longer be presented in comprehensible terms," the wisdom of this strategy has never been questioned. The Fire is a rare account of the air raids as they were experienced by the civilians who were their targets. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
