What happened in New Orleans in August 2005 wasn’t a natural disaster. A number of engineering errors made the hurricane far more deadly than it would have been otherwise. And I built a model to show you why.

Im Sommer 1943 wurde Hamburg zum Ziel einer der verheerendsten Luftangriffe des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Unter dem Codenamen „Operation Gomorrah“ starteten britische und amerikanische Bomber eine mehrtägige Angriffswelle auf die Stadt.
Der Name „Gomorrah“ spielte bewusst auf die biblische Stadt an, die durch Feuer vernichtet wurde. Und genau das wurde für Hamburg zur grausamen Realität. In der Nacht vom 27. auf den 28. Juli 1943 entstand durch Bomben, Brandbomben und extreme Hitze ein gewaltiger Feuersturm. Ganze Stadtteile wurden zerstört, Straßen verwandelten sich in Flammenkorridore, und die Hitze war so stark, dass Menschen in Kellern und Schutzräumen erstickten oder verbrannten.
Besonders betroffen waren Arbeiter- und Wohnviertel wie Hammerbrook, Hamm, Borgfelde und Rothenburgsort. Die Angriffe sollten nicht nur die Rüstungsindustrie und den Hafen treffen, sondern auch die Moral der deutschen Bevölkerung brechen.
Schätzungen zufolge starben bei Operation Gomorrah rund 34.000 bis 40.000 Menschen, Hunderttausende verloren ihr Zuhause. Hamburg war danach eine Stadt in Trümmern. Für viele Überlebende blieb diese Woche als eine der traumatischsten Erfahrungen ihres Lebens im Gedächtnis.
Wir haben bei der Produktion auf maximal korrekte historische Umsetzung geachtet. Alle Szenen basieren auch echten Fotografien, teilweise schwarz-weiß Bilder, teilweise in Farbe, die dann mit mithilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz animiert wurden, wobei auf möglichst geschichtstreue Umsetzung geachtet wurde.

Diese frühe alliierte Nachkriegswochenschau dokumentiert die unmittelbare Zeit nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs in Europa. Im Mittelpunkt steht die bedingungslose Kapitulation Deutschlands im Mai 1945 sowie die beginnende Neuordnung unter alliierter Kontrolle.
Die Ausgabe zeigt unter anderem Szenen der deutschen Kapitulation, alliierte Vertreter, Eindrücke aus dem besetzten Deutschland und erste Maßnahmen der Militärverwaltung. Sie entstand kurz nach Kriegsende als Teil der amerikanisch-britischen Wochenschau „Welt im Film“, die zur Information und politischen Neuorientierung der deutschen Bevölkerung eingesetzt wurde.
Ein historisches Zeitdokument aus den ersten Wochen nach dem Zusammenbruch des NS-Regimes.

Between 1949 and 1950, Beijing underwent one of the most important transitions in its modern history: it became the capital of the newly founded People’s Republic of China and began transforming from an old imperial and Republican-era city into the political center of a new socialist state.
In early 1949, Beijing was still commonly known as Beiping. During the final phase of the Chinese Civil War, Communist forces surrounded the city, which was held by the Nationalists. Rather than being destroyed in a major battle, the city was peacefully transferred to Communist control in January 1949 after negotiations with Nationalist general Fu Zuoyi. This was significant because it preserved much of the city’s historic architecture, including the Forbidden City, temples, walls, and traditional neighborhoods.
Later that year, the city’s name was changed back from Beiping to Beijing, meaning “Northern Capital.” On October 1, 1949, Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the People’s Republic of China from Tiananmen Gate. From that moment, Beijing became the symbolic and administrative heart of the new government.
During 1949–1950, the new Communist leadership began reorganizing the city’s political, social, and economic life. Government ministries, party offices, military institutions, and cultural organizations were established or expanded in Beijing. The city also saw campaigns aimed at restoring order, controlling inflation, registering residents, and bringing businesses, schools, and public institutions under the authority of the new state.
The period also marked the beginning of major ideological and social changes. Public rallies, propaganda campaigns, and political education became common. The new government emphasized discipline, reconstruction, and socialist values. Although the most dramatic urban redevelopment came later in the 1950s, the foundations were laid during these first years.
Overall, Beijing between 1949 and 1950 was a city in transition: it moved from civil war uncertainty into its role as the capital of a new revolutionary state. Its historical identity as an imperial capital remained visible, but its political meaning changed profoundly as it became the center of Communist China.

„Dem Frieden verpflichtet“ ist ein DDR-Dokumentarfilm des Filmstudios der NVA über das Großmanöver „Waffenbrüderschaft 80“, das vom 4. bis 12. September 1980 auf dem Gebiet der DDR stattfand.
Inhaltlich zeigt der Film das Manöver als große Demonstration militärischer Geschlossenheit der Staaten des Warschauer Vertrags. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die gemeinsame Übung verschiedener Teilstreitkräfte, die Zusammenarbeit der „Bruderarmeen“ und die Darstellung der NVA als verlässlicher Bestandteil des sozialistischen Militärbündnisses. Das Manöver selbst war eines der größten auf DDR-Gebiet: Beteiligt waren rund 40.000 Soldaten aus der DDR, der Sowjetunion, Polen, der ČSSR, Rumänien, Ungarn und Bulgarien.
Der Film folgt dabei weniger einer individuellen Handlung als einer propagandistisch geprägten Dokumentarstruktur: Truppenbewegungen, Gefechtsübungen, Luft- und Seestreitkräfte, Artillerie, Fallschirmjäger und koordinierte Gegenangriffe werden als Beweis für Einsatzbereitschaft, Disziplin und internationale Solidarität inszeniert. Die Botschaft des Films ist deutlich: Militärische Stärke wird nicht als Aggression, sondern als Beitrag zur Sicherung von Frieden und Sozialismus dargestellt. Das passt auch zum Motto des Manövers: „Vereint für Frieden und Sozialismus – dem Feind keine Chance“.
Aus heutiger Perspektive ist „Dem Frieden verpflichtet“ vor allem als zeitgeschichtliches Dokument interessant. Er zeigt nicht nur militärische Abläufe, sondern auch die politische Selbstdarstellung der DDR und des Warschauer Pakts am Beginn der 1980er-Jahre. Der Film vermittelt ein offizielles Bild von Stärke, Bündnistreue und Friedensrhetorik, bleibt dabei aber klar innerhalb der Sprache und Ideologie staatlicher DDR-Militärpropaganda.
