SpiegelGeschichte -- Film von Michael Kloft und Nina Adler (2009) - Der Koreakrieg begann im Morgengrauen des 25.Juni 1950 mit dem Angriff der nordkoreanischen Kommunisten auf den Süden. Er dauerte drei Jahre und kostete Millionen Menschen das Leben unter ihnen 37.000 Amerikaner. Der Konflikt wurde zum "Wendepunkt des Kalten Krieges" (US-Präsident Truman), mehrmals geriet die Welt an den Rand eines Atomkrieges. Trotz seiner Bedeutung wurde der Krieg in den USA schon bald zum "vergessenen Krieg", der zwischen dem "guten" Zweiten Weltkrieg und dem "schlechten" Vietnamkrieg stand.
Ähnliches gilt auch für Deutschland trotz seiner Bedeutung für dieses Land (v.a. Wiederbewaffnung und wirtschaftlicher Wiederaufstieg). So gab es bislang keine Gesamtdarstellung in deutscher Sprache. Das wird hiermit auf der Basis neuester Quellen aus östlichen und westlichen Archiven nachgeholt. Es geht um die Teilung des Landes, die Rolle Stalins, Kim Il Sungs und Mao Tse Tungs, die überraschend schnelle und massive Reaktion der USA, Washingtons Entscheidung, Korea wiederzuvereinigen, die Intervention Rotchinas, um General Douglas MacArthur und um die Frage, warum die Waffenstillstandsverhandlungen zwei Jahre ergebnislos verliefen.

This acclaimed BBC adaptation of Crime and Punishment remains faithful to Fyodor Dostoevsky's classic novel.
Set in St Petersburg in the second half of the 19th century, the psychological thriller tells of a desperate young murderer caught in a web of his own guilt.
Rodya Raskolnikov (John Simm) is a poverty-stricken student living among the fetid alleyways and crumbling tenements of St Petersburg. Intense and highly intelligent, Raskolnikov believes he is among a class of men destined for greatness and as such is permitted to breach 'normal' moral values.
He decides to test his courage and integrity by killing a pawnbroker, a mean old woman whom he is sure nobody will miss. The murder, however, only serves to draw Raskolnikov into a nightmare world in which he is dogged by guilt, paranoia and alienation.
Faced with the wily investigator Porfiry, who sets up a complex series of traps, encounters and onversations, can Raskolnikov escape his own conscience or the seemingly inevitable punishment?
Simm's Raskolnikov is a "truly startling, genuinely mature performance" --The Guardian
RTS awards (2002), winner: Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, Best Tape and Film Editing.

This is Viktor Suvorov's book presentation at the United States Naval Academy on October 7, 2009, part 1 of 4.

In his recent book "The Chief Culprit" the bestselling author Viktor Suvorov probes newly released Soviet documents and reevaluates existing material to analyze Stalin's strategic design to conquer Europe and the reasons behind his controversial support for Nazi Germany.
He argues that Stalin was caught just days before launching his own assault into Central Europe. Thus the Red Army's offensive posture rendered it uniquely vulnerable to German attack.
A former Soviet army intelligence officer (true name Vladimir Rezun), the author explains that Stalin's strategy leading up to World War II grew from Vladimir Lenin's belief that if World War I did not ignite the worldwide Communist revolution, then a second world war would be needed to achieve it. Stalin saw Nazi Germany as the power that would fight and weaken capitalist countries so that Soviet armies could then sweep across Europe. Suvorov reveals how Stalin conspired with German leaders to bypass the Versailles Treaty, which forbade German rearmament, and secretly trained German engineers and officers and provided bases and factories for war. He also calls attention to the 1939 nonaggression pact between the Soviet Union and Germany that allowed Hitler to proceed with his plans to invade Poland, fomenting war in Europe.
Suvorov debunks the theory that Stalin was duped by Hitler and that the Soviet Union was a victim of Nazi aggression. Instead, he makes the case that Stalin neither feared Hitler nor mistakenly trusted him. Suvorov maintains that after Germany occupied Poland, defeated France, and started to prepare for an invasion of Great Britain, Hitler's intelligence services detected the Soviet Union's preparations for a major war against Germany. This detection, he argues, led to Germany's preemptive war plan and the launch of an invasion of the USSR. Stalin emerges from the pages of this book as a genius consumed by the vision of a worldwide Communist revolution at any cost--a leader who wooed Hitler and Germany in his own effort to conquer the world. In contradicting traditional theories about Soviet planning, the book is certain to provoke debate among historians throughout the world.
