The first encounter between British armour and the Red Army was not on friendly terms with the British sending surplus tanks to reinforce the pro-monarchy White Army in the Russian Civil War. When the Reds won, war trophy Mark V heavy tanks as well as medium Mk.A Whippets and Mk.B Hornets entered service with the RKKA. As the political landscape changed during the 1920s, the Red Army assessed British designs available for export and a licensed copy of the Vickers Mk.E entered production in 1931 as the T-26.During the early days of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, armour losses were huge and the Red Army once again looked abroad to acquire new fighting vehicles. A large-scale programme of military aid to the USSR began in August 1941, with the US and Britain offering help under separate terms though not for free.

The second volume in Simone de Beauvoir's celebrated autobiography recalls her formative years in Paris when she began to emerge as a public figureFirst published in 1960, The Prime of Life offers an intimate, captivating picture of Simone de Beauvoir in her twenties, thirties and forties. Beginning as a recent graduate from the Sorbonne teaching high-school girls, we see de Beauvoir revel in the freedom her new financial independence brings. We see her and Jean-Paul Sartre recognise the powerful romantic and intellectual partnership they have found in one another, as they fall in love and define their own unconventional parameters. The Second World War comes, bringing austerity, violence and questions of the reality of freedom and individual responsibility into de Beauvoir's life. As relevant and penetrating as when first published, The Prime of Life offers rare insight into a truly fascinating mind.

-Mystik ist katholisch. Mystik und Protestantismus passen nicht zusammen." Diese Meinung ist weit verbreitet, aber trotzdem falsch. Stattdessen stellt sich das Verhältnis von Mystik und Protestantismus als eine Problemgeschichte dar. Phasen der Hochschätzung und solche der Ablehnung wechselten einander ab. Seit der Reformation gab es Männer und Frauen, die dem Mainstream des Protestantismus angehören, deren Glaube und Theologie mystisch geprägt waren. Martin Luthers (1453-1546) reformatorische Erkenntnis entsprang einer mystischen Erfahrung. Seine reformatorische Theologie war mystisch orientiert. Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608), Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676), Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), Gerhard Tersteegen (1697-1769) und Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf (1700-1760) verliehen in Liedern und Musik ihren mystischen Erfahrungen klassischen Ausdruck. Selbst Leben und Werk protestantischer Zeitgenossen aus dem 20. Jh. wie Dag Hammarskjöld (1905-1961), Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) und Dorothee Sölle (1929-2003) waren mehr oder weniger offensichtlich mystisch geprägt. Sölle bekannte sich klar zur Mystik als einer Angelegenheit nicht von wenigen, sondern von allen Menschen. Tatsächlich war protestantische Mystik von Anfang an keine Angelegenheit religiöser Eliten, sondern stand allen offen. Da die evangelischen Choräle mystisch geprägt waren und das Abendmahl mystisch verstanden wurde, bot gerade der lutherische Gottesdienst allen Christen Zugang zu mystischem Glauben.
