Story
In 1942 the young soldier Arthur Dodd was taken prisoner by the German Army and transported to Oswiecim in Polish Upper Silesia. The Germans gave it another name, now synonymous with mankind’s darkest hours. They called it Auschwitz. Forced to do hard labour, starved and savagely beaten, Arthur thought his life would end in Auschwitz. Determined to go down fighting, he sabotaged Nazi industrial work, risked his life to alleviate the suffering of the Jewish prisoners and aided a partisan group planning a mass breakout.

Story
For the Western allies, 11 November 1918 has always been a solemn date - the end of fighting which had destroyed a generation and a vindication of a terrible sacrifice with the total collapse of their principal enemies: the German Empire, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. But for much of the rest of Europe, this was a day with no meaning, as a continuing nightmarish series of conflicts engulfed country after country. In this highly original, gripping book, Robert Gerwarth asks us to think again about the true legacy of the First World War.

D-Day, 6 June 1944, the turning point of the Second World War, was a victory of arms. But it was also a triumph for a different kind of operation: one of deceit. At the heart of the deception was the 'Double Cross System', a team of double agents whose bravery, treachery, greed and inspiration succeeded in convincing the Nazis that Calais and Norway, not Normandy, were the targets of the 150,000-strong Allied invasion force.

Story
In the summer of 1993, Thomas Harding travelled to Germany with his grandmother to visit a house by a lake. It had been a holiday home for her family, that she had been forced to leave as the Nazis swept to power. As he began to piece together the lives of the five families who had lived, he realised that this house had witnessed violence, betrayals and murders, had withstood the trauma of a world war and the dividing of a nation.

A remarkable story of high hopes and crushing disappointment, the campaign contains moments of sheer horror and nerve-shattering excitement; pathos and comic relief; occasional cowardice and much selfless courage - all culminating in the climax of the First Battle of Ypres. And yet, as Peter Hart shows in this gripping and revisionary look at the war's first year, for too long the British part in the 1914 campaigns has been veiled in layers of self-congratulatory myth.

The book attempts to give answers to key questions regarding allied strategy based on the personalities and relationships between two political masters - Winston Churchill and Franklin D.

New commanders were appointed, significant training together with restructuring took place and new tactics were developed. A War of Empires by acclaimed historian Robert Lyman expertly retells these coordinated efforts and describes how a new volunteer Indian Army, rising from the ashes of defeat, would ferociously fight to turn the tide of war.

The acclaimed best-selling classic of Holocaust literature, winner of the Booker Prize and the inspiration for the classic film Schindler's List. In the shadow of Auschwitz, a flamboyant German industrialist grew into a living legend to the Jews of Cracow. He was a womaniser, a heavy drinker and a bon viveur, but to them he became a saviour. A stunning novel based on the extraordinary true story of German war profiteer and factory director Oskar Schindler, who came to save more Jews from the gas chambers than any other single person during World War II.

The escape would come to be immortalised in the famous film The Great Escape, but in this book Guy Walters takes a fresh look at this remarkable event and asks what was the true story?

Just down the road at Number 31 was the "mad sadist" Theodor Dannecker, an Eichmann protégé charged with deporting French Jews to concentration camps.

The community pulled off the astonishing feat of saving the lives of 5,000 men, women and children whose very existence was deemed unpalatable by the Nazi occupiers and their Vichy stooges.

Summary
Hanns Alexander was the son of a wealthy German family who fled Berlin for London in the 1930s. Rudolf Höss was a farmer and soldier who became Kommandant of Auschwitz and oversaw the deaths of over a million people. In the aftermath of World War II, the first British War Crimes Investigation Team is assembled to hunt down the senior Nazi officials responsible for the greatest atrocities the world has ever seen.
Lieutenant Hanns Alexander is one of the lead investigators, Rudolf Höss his most elusive target. In this book, Thomas Harding reveals for the very first time the full, exhilarating account of Höss' capture. Moving from the First World War to bohemian Berlin in the 1920s, to the horror of the concentration camps and the trials in Belsen and Nuremberg, it tells the story of two German men whose lives diverged, and intersected, in an astonishing way.
Critic reviews
“[an] extraordinary story...The tale of how he then doggedly tracked down Rudolf Hőss, the merciless commandant of Auschwitz is stunning - not just because it is so gripping, but because Harding interweaves Hanns’ life story fascinatingly with Hőss's... A compelling, remarkable picture of war and its aftermath.” ( The Sunday Times Books of the Year)
“Harding sketches the parallel lives of the SS officer with notable skill. The book is a moving reminder of what an extraordinary amount Britain gained by the Jewish flight from Europe in the 1930s.” (Max Hastings, Guardian Books of the Year)
“Hanns and Rudolf tells the mesmeric tale of his uncle's hunt for an arch perpetrator of the Jewish Holocaust.” (John le Carré, Telegraph Books of the Year)
“This superlative look at two men - one, Rudolf Höss, the Kommandant of Auschwitz; the other, Hanns Alexander, the man who arrested him - makes for uncomfortable, but essential reading.” (Stuart Evers, Netgalley Books of the Year)
“The detective story approach worked well in Thomas Harding's Hanns and Rudolf” (Ben Shephard, Observer History Books of the Year)
“An unexpected delight... It is amazingly well researched, resists judgement, and above all is an utterly compelling read.” (David Shrigley, New Statesman Books of the Year)

Moving, shocking and completely absorbing
Definitely one of the best things I've listened to this year, its part historical, part thriller, part biography...... Its the entwining of the lives of two extraordinary people (extraordinary for very different reasons) that make this book so mesmerising. It really gives a sense of scale to the evil that is within living memory.
Incredible audiobook!

Highly Engrossed Listening
I really enjoyed listening and reading this at the same time, each chapter swaps to each character. I had to remind myself that this was not fiction due to the pace once it gets going to the very end and how both characters came into each other’s lives.
I’m glad Mr Harding found out about this and decided to research it further as there has to be loads of stories like this about the subject of WW2 and the Holocaust which haven’t been told or found yet.
Highly recommend this audiobook if you are interested in the WW2 / Holocaust era.

Spellbinding Thriller...And All True
Would you listen to Hanns and Rudolf: The German Jew and the Hunt for the Kommandant of Auschwitz again? Why?
I would listen again to pick up facts I may have missed on first hearing.
What other book might you compare Hanns and Rudolf: The German Jew and the Hunt for the Kommandant of Auschwitz to, and why?
I would compare it to Ben McIntyre's books about espionage in the Second World War. Equally compelling and informative.
What about Mark Meadows’s performance did you like?
He read with conviction and empathy. And he kept the narrative going, never calling attention to himself, allowing the author's voice to come through.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
This is an exemplary audiobook.

Great story of WWII parallel lives
If you could sum up Hanns and Rudolf: The German Jew and the Hunt for the Kommandant of Auschwitz in three words, what would they be?
Tells the story of two families, one jewish and the other a concentration camp commanders and about there lives before, during and after WWII. Fascinating insight into two very different Germans paths crossed at the end of the war.
What did you like best about this story?
interesting and factual which brought to life the struggle of jewish families to escape nazi Germany and how those left behind had to live in constant fear of being sent to concentration camps.
What three words best describe Mark Meadows’s voice?
Reading was good compared with some non fiction books which can be heard to follow because of the use of facts and no personal feelings, but Mark Meadows with the help of a well written book made it easy to get inside the characters.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The story of the Torah is moving and made me find out some more information about is history.

Familiar story well told
Many aspects of Nazi Germany are fairly familiar however this was a very new angle and it was so interesting. I happened to listen to this book around remembrance day, it was a very timely reminder of the appalling horror that was inflicted on very ordinary families and how it changed their lives for ever in the most brutal way possible. The narration is quite deadpan - almost journalistic style. This grated on me at first but as I got caught up in the compelling story it faded and I'm very glad I persevered. A story we should all know.

Rudolf a more compelling story than Hans
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Parallel narratives between the rise and fall of Rudolf Hoess, infamous commandant of Auschwitz and the fall and rise of the Jewish refugee who led the hunt converge in the Nazi's ultimate capture. Hoess' tale has been told before but the story of his pursuer, a distant relative of the author, adds a fatalistic element. Will appeal to those with an interest in the how the Nazi war criminals we're brought to justice as well as those who like a decent true life detective story.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
The fate of Hoess won't come as a surprise but the pursuit and how he was captured might. The fact that Hans was a relative of the author and how this impacted him brings a nice personal element to the telling.
What does Mark Meadows bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Hans' backstory and the subtle reminder that the generation who lived to tell this tale will soon no longer be with us.
Was Hanns and Rudolf: The German Jew and the Hunt for the Kommandant of Auschwitz worth the listening time?
I enjoyed it. There are some interesting and suspenseful elements in Hoess' evasion and pursuit. My one complaint is that as heroic as Hans was and as vile as Hoess was, it was Hoess' narrative line that was more compelling and interesting sad to say.
