The word “book” comes from the German word “Buch”, which comes from the German word “Buche”, which is a beech tree. During the early ages of book printing, letters used in the printing process were made of lead characters fixed to a little stem of wood. That wood usually was beech wood, as it is very hard but also very straight — in contrast to oak wood, which is similarly hard, but tends to be gnarly. Beech wood therefore gave the product of the beech-wood based printing product its name: the Beech – Buch. Interesting, isn’t it?

2nd, corrected edition (2015) Based upon documents from Moscow archives, this study describes the history, organization, tasks, and procedures of the Central Construction Office of the Waffen-SS and Police Auschwitz. It provides a deep understanding of this office, which was responsible for the planning and construction of the Auschwitz camp complex.
Auschwitz is the epicenter of the Holocaust, where more people are said to have been murdered than anywhere else. But what if we look critically into the evidence for this claim? Stäglich has so far been the only legal expert to critically analyze the foundations of what we today think we know about Auschwitz. His research results leave the reader at times breathless when confronted with the scandalous way in which judicial authorities bent and broke the law in order to come to politically foregone conclusions. New, revised and corrected edition.
This book proves that the Second World War was not a Good War at all, that simple Good and Evil patterns do not fit here. It refutes the myth that Germany bears the blame for the outbreak of World War II. A great number of documents and memoirs of the persons involved made possible Walendy’s mosaic-like reconstruction of the events before the outbreak of the war in 1939.
