With the publication of this book list the project “Nuremberg. Casus pacis” begins an important final cycle of materials addressed to everyone who wants to know more about the reasons and consequences of the existence of the Third Reich. On the basis of these sources, we have been describing the realities of the Second World War and the Nazi crimes, which were considered and condemned by the Nuremberg Tribunal. Each of these books is worth reading and reflection. We warn you, this is difficult to read - it is only for those who are truly prepared to know the whole truth about Nazism.

The editors' team of the “Nuremberg: Casus Pacis” project – together with the Eksmo publishing house – is publishing excerpts from Philipp Gut’s book about Benjamin Ferencz, the man who organised the trial against the SS punitive special units, introduced the word “genocide,” and stood at the origin of the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

My grandfather Mikhail Fedorovich Loshchits (1917-2015) went through the war from the first to the last day. He served as a military journalist on the Leningrad front. He was an instructor in the political department of a division, a secretary, and then an editor of the divisional newspaper “In the line of duty”. The story “On the Last Day of the War” tells a little-known episode – the surrender of a group of German troops ambushed in the so-called Courland Pocket in western Latvia. It was only on 8 May that fierce fighting stopped there, however, some units resisted until the end of the month.
