Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Bizarrely for a nation that in many respects was remarkably similar for us, they [the handbook] completely misunderstood the British (Norman Stone )

INVASION 1940 makes for compulsive reading, rather as if one had unearthed a confidential report on oneself. (DAILY TELEGRAPH )

Reseña del editor:

In compliance with the Fuhrer's directive on the imminent invasion of Britain in 1940, the Gestapo prepared a secret handbook for the occupation forces. The first part, edited by senior Nazi Walter Schellenberg who had been educated in England, is a detailed analysis of how the Germans thought the country worked. The second, equally intriguing section is a list of the men and women the Gestapo had earmarked for immediate arrest. Written in August 1940, the handbook sheds extraordinary light on the British political system, the establishment, the church, industry, the police, trade unions and even the Boy Scouts. The chapter on the British Secret Service was considered so embarrassingly accurate that the few copies captured at the end of the war were retained by the authorities, and it is only now, more than half a century later, that a translation has been made to reveal the full remarkable truth.
