Bøger af Jens Erik Schultz

KRIGEN I NORDØSTGRØNLAND er den utrolige, men sandfærdige beretning om en af de mest besynderlige slagmarker under Anden Verdenskrig, hvor en håndfuld danske og norske pelsjægere i det øde Nordøstgrønland støttet af lokale grønlændere dannede verdens mindste hær og tog kampen op mod den tyske overmagt. En kamp, der hidtil har været omgærdet af mystik og mange myter. Spændende og medrivende som en kriminalroman, fortælles her også historien om, hvordan den tyske militære leder, Hermann Ritter, forsøger at undslippe denne meningsløse krig og derfor danner en næsten usandsynlig alliance med en af sine fjender. Forfatteren har fundet frem til hidtil ukendte dokumenter fra de tyske og amerikanske krigsarkiver, dagbøger, breve, m.m., og for første gang får vi nu indblik i, hvad der i virkeligheden skete. Bogen indeholder kort og ca. 50 illustrationer. Findes også i en oversat engelsk version.

"The War in North-East Greenland" is the incredible but truthful account of one of the most peculiar battlegrounds during World War II, when a handful of Danish and Norwegian fur hunters in the eastern North Greenland supported by local Greenlanders formed the world's smallest army and fought the German superior force and their "Operation Holzauge". A battle that so far has been surrounded by mysticism and numerous myths.Exciting and intriguing as a crime novel, this story also tells of how the German military leader, Hermann Ritter, tries to escape this meaningless war and therefore forms an almost unlikely alliance with one of his enemies.The author, Jens Erik Schultz, has uncovered so far unknown documents from the German and American war archives, diaries, letters, etc., and for the first time we now get an insight into what really happened.
