Den hårde kerne: Blekingegadebanden 2

Peter Øvig Knudsen

Blekingegadebanden fortsætter op gennem firserne med en stribe danmarkshistorisk store røverier som julekuppet i Daells Varehus og rullestolsrøveriet i Herlev. I samme periode overvåges gruppens medlemmer af efterretningstjenesten. Men hvorfor bliver de aldrig afsløret?

I 1983 er kriminalpolitiet tæt på at opklare gruppens røveri mod en pengetransport i Lyngby. Men i al diskretion bliver efterforskningen stoppet fra højeste sted i Justitsministeriet.

I de følgende år planlægger bandens hårde kerne at kidnappe en svensk milliardærsøn for at skaffe 300 millioner til palæstinenserne, mens de samtidig registrerer og overvåger Israel-støtter og topfolk i dansk erhvervsliv.

Andet bind af Peter Øvigs dokumentariske beretning kulminerer med historien om den et år lange planlægning af bandens mest berømte kup, røveriet mod Købmagergades Postkontor i København i 1988. Røveriet følges minut for minut, til en ung politibetjent bliver ramt i hovedet af en vildsvinekugle fra et oversavet jagtgevær.

Den danske celle: Blekingegadebanden 1

Peter Øvig Knudsen

Blekingegadebandens historie handler om meget mere end et millionrøveri mod et postkontor i Købmagergade og drabet på en ung politibetjent i 1988. Historien begynder sidst i 1960'erne, da kommunisterne Gotfred Appel og Ulla Hauton samler en gruppe oprørske unge mennesker under sig og sender dem til Jordan i militær træningslejr hos Folkefronten til Palæstinas Befrielse, P F L P.

Under dæknavnet Æblerne fungerer Appels gruppe allerede fra først i halvfjerdserne som en illegal celle, der skaffer våben og penge til palæstinenserne ved en stribe danmarkshistorisk store kup, som politiet aldrig har kunnet opklare.

Den danske celle indgår i et internationalt netværk, der også tæller Baader-Meinhof-gruppen, De Røde Brigader og Carlos Sjakalen. Cellens centrale medlem er Appels højre hånd, den karismatiske og kvindeombejlede brandmand Holger Jensen, som gennem ti år kommer til at stå i spidsen for gruppens kriminelle og internationale aktiviteter.

Peter Øvig Knudsen har haft adgang til fortrolige arkiver hos politi og efterretningstjeneste og talt med en lang række af de involverede personer. På den baggrund fortæller han den dokumentariske historie om Blekingegadebanden. Dette er det første bind af to.

Blonde Rattlesnake: Burmah Adams, Tom White, and the 1933 Crime Spree That Terrorized Los Angeles

Julia Bricklin

Nineteen-year-old Burmah Adams, a hairdresser and former Santa Ana High School student, spent her honeymoon on a crime spree. She and her husband of less than one week, White, an ex-con, robbed at least 20 people in and around downtown L. A. at gunpoint over an eight-week period. But the worst of their crimes was the shooting of a popular elementary school teacher, Cora Withington, and a former publisher, Crombie Allen, who was teaching her how to drive his new car.   

A few days later, a watchful pair of patrolmen in a Westlake neighborhood called their detective colleagues at the Los Angeles Police Department; they had spotted a car that looked like one the duo had stolen days before. Two of these detectives dressed as mechanics and kept an eye on the apartment building until Burmah and Thomas appeared one afternoon. As police swarmed the building, Burmah tried to hurl herself out of a third-story window, while Thomas shot at officers and was immediately gunned down and killed.  

Blond Rattlesnake reveals the events that brought Adams and White together and details the crime spree they committed in the sweltering hot days and nights of Los Angeles in the height of the Great Depression.

The Escape Artists

Neal Bascomb

The tale of the three daredevil World War I pilots held in Germany's most infamous P O W prison, their organisation of the greatest mass prison escape of the conflict, and their extraordinary flight to freedom.

Summer, 1918: Twenty-nine officers crawled into a 16-inch-high, 55-metre tunnel dug only with spoons. This was the culmination of nine months gruelling toil in oxygen-starved darkness. Of the 29 escapees, just 10 would make their way back to Britain.  

When captured Royal Flying Corps pilots Captain David Gray, Captain Caspar Kennard and 2nd Lieutenant Cecil Blain had arrived at Holzminden - or ' Hellminden' as its occupants called it - the Germans' highest-security prison complex had seemed impregnable. ' The Black Hole' was ruled by the iron fist of Camp Commandant Carl Niemayer, under whose brutal temper prisoners were known to be shot and beaten to death. Not least the breakout artists.

After five unsuccessful attempts from different camps in one year, the obsessive Captain Gray was personally determined to orchestrate the building of a tunnel directly under the feet of their one hundred armed guards. With an improvised oxygen piping system, stolen disguises and astonishing courage, this handful of the Kaiser's 2. 3 million prisoners would succeed in making their way to neutral Holland and eventually back to Britain - for a private audience at Windsor Palace. The most unlikely escape of the Great War, their derring-do became military legend and the inspiration for the subsequent great escapes of the Second World War.
