Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Can a crowd of unarmed civilians force the totalitarians of the Third Reich to back down at the height of World War II In late February 1943, the bitter winter air of Berlin carried the smell of smoke and defeat. Fresh off the catastrophic disaster at Stalingrad, Joseph Goebbels decided the Reich needed a swift, brutal victory at home. The SS launched Fabrik-Aktion-a coordinated, dawn sweep designed to purge Berlin of its last remaining Jewish citizens. Over 11,000 people were arrested in hours. But when 2,000 Jewish men married to non-Jewish women were locked inside a makeshift prison on Rosenstrasse, their wives did something unthinkable. They didn't hide. They marched directly to the prison gates.For seven agonizing days, hundreds of women stood on the frozen cobblestones beneath the shadow of Gestapo rifles. They faced down cold steel, mounted machine guns, and explicit threats of execution, shouting a single, unified demand into the winter air: 'Give us our husbands back!' They maintained round-the-clock shifts, braving Allied bombing raids by night and Gestapo intimidation by day, refusing to leave until their loved ones were freed.In The Women of Rosenstrasse, acclaimed historian Winston Maddox takes you onto those freezing cobblestones. Written for readers who demand strict historical accuracy alongside the pulse-pounding pace of a thriller, this book immerses you in the sights, sounds, and agonizing choices of wartime Berlin. You will step inside the tense emergency meetings between Himmler and Goebbels, feel the biting cold on Rosenstrasse, and witness the exact moment the Gestapo-for the first and only time in the history of the Third Reich-blinked.Why did the world's most feared police state capitulate to a crowd of street protesters when millions were marching to the camps.…
