An early and historical Great War battlefield guide to the whole Western Front, complete with 64 good colour maps, a descriptive text and War Graves Index of over 1700 cemeteries. The main value to this book is that it shows the locations of many of the British cemeteries that were later consolidated by the CWG.

The history of the fierce football rivalry between England and Germany is encapsulated in a single moment - Geoff Hurst's extra-time shot off the crossbar in the 1966 FIFA World Cup Final and the decision of an infamous Russian linesman to award a goal. It is a rivalry that now spans more than 90 years since the first official match between the two nations. For the English, a series of high-profile defeats at major tournaments saw Germany become the Angstgegner on the field, as well as an enduring obsession for the national press. For Germans, Wembley still represents the home of football, where the memories of 1966 have been supplanted by numerous successes and the appropriation of the English anthem 'football's coming home'. The rivalry has long crossed the lines of the football field, with the two nations at various moments forced to admire and learn from each other, and with football encounters between England and Germany repeatedly marking important developments in a unique and ever-changing political and cultural relationship.

Wir waren fast fertig, als ein Motorrad mit zwei Personen und hoher Geschwindigkeit heranraste. Der Beifahrer schoss auf zwei G ste. Die zwei Getroffenen sanken sofort auf ihren St hlen zusammen. Das Duo hatte wahrscheinlich schon zu viel herausgefunden und war einigen Personen gef hrlich nahe gekommen. (Kleiner Ausschnitt aus dem Krimi)
