Culture was integral to the smooth running of the Third Reich.

During the war, the arts were closely tied to the propaganda machine that promoted the cause of Germany's military campaigns.

More than seven decades after the end of the Second World War, the era of the Nazi hunters is drawing to a close as they and the hunted die off. Their saga can now be told almost in its entirety. After the Nuremberg trials and the start of the Cold War, most of the victors in World War II lost interest in prosecuting Nazi war criminals. Many of the lower-ranking perpetrators quickly blended in with the millions who were seeking to rebuild their lives in a new Europe, while those who felt most at risk fled the continent.

In 1945, at the end of World War II, Adolf Eichmann, the head of operations for the Final Solution, walked into the mountains of Germany and vanished from view.

In his third book about deception during war, Paul B. Janeczko focuses his lens on World War II and the operations carried out by the Twenty-Third Headquarters Special Troops, aka the Ghost Army.

Fueron muchas las razones por las que el Tercer Reich no produjo nunca una bomba atómica. Entre ellas, que no creyeron poder lograrlo antes de que acabara la guerra y se concentraron en otras cosas más perentorias. Pero esta creencia obedeció en parte a un error científico crucial, que les hizo pensar que la energía nuclear estaba mucho más lejos de lo que quizá podría haber estado. ¿Pudo ser diferente? ¿Existió alguna posibilidad de que la Alemania Nazi consiguiese la bomba atómica a tiempo y así cambiar el curso de la Historia para siempre? Pues... sí, pudo ser. Esta es la ...
