Dass er ein begnadeter Seher war, bewies Alois Irlmaier in seinem dramatischen Leben vielfach.

Sur les 42 tentatives d’assassinat recensées pour tuer Hitler , une majorité est due à la résistance allemande qui, très tôt, comprend l’appétence guerrière d’Hitler.

It was considered "the hairiest mission" of the war with more Medals of Honor awarded to SOG teams at Kontum than any other unit.

Best-selling author Damien Lewis has unearthed the full incredible story from long-hidden files and first hand-testimony, his latest elite forces narrative delivering a scintillating tale of bravery, daring and determination which simply beggars belief.

«Sì, la guerra avanza rombando verso Berlino. Ciò che ieri era ancora un brontolio lontano, oggi è un tambureggiare continuo... Viviamo dentro un cerchio di bocche di fuoco che si restringe di ora in ora». L'autrice ha voluto restare anonima da quando il libro vide per la prima volta la luce negli anni Cinquanta e fu accolto, soprattutto in Germania, con un senso di fastidio, anzi, di esplicito rifiuto. Decise allora di vietarne ogni riedizione finché fosse rimasta in vita. Solo dopo la sua morte, avvenuta nel 2001, Hans M. Enzensberger ebbe l'autorizzazione a riproporlo.
