I cannoni dei Krupp: storia di una dinastia… di William Manchester
Il 3 agosto 1967, quando sotto lo scrosciare della pioggia venne sepolto Alfried, l'ultimo dei Krupp, morirono tre Germanie: la Germania di Bismarck, la Germania guglielmina e la Germania nazista. Fu la fine di una dinastia che per quattrocento anni aveva armato il popolo tedesco e influenzato il corso della storia dell'intera Europa.
