Bloody Streets: The Soviet Assault On Berlin April 1945
S. Hamilton
The backbone of Berlin’s defense was the German LVI Panzer Korps, newly formed and under strength. This unit bore the brunt of the Soviet attack along the Seelow Heights by Zhukov’s 5th Shock, 8th Guards, 1st and 2nd Guards Tank Armies. By pure chance, LVI Panzer Korps now found itself fighting in Berlin’s streets against the combined weight of seven separate Soviet Armies from both Zhukov’s and Koniev’s Fronts. Supporting the LVI Panzer Korps were various formations of the Volkssturm, Hitlerjugend, and Waffen-SS, as well as smaller ad hoc formations of foreign volunteers and locally formed units. All aspects of this battle are covered with new insights into how it was planned, shaped, and executed. 424pp. approx 325 photos. 60 maps. 8pp colour artwork. Large format. Due end September. Now available for pre-order

Konigsberg: The Battle For East Prussia January 1945
Petter Kjellander
East Prussia was the first genuine part of the German home lands that fell to the Red Army in 1945. Already by 1944 some parts of East Prussia had been under the attack of the Soviets. The tragedy became complete in April 1945. The losses and horrors German civilians had to endure were tremendous. The Red Army showed its worst after the capture of East Prussia. The discovery of the Red Army's behavior in late 1944 in some of the border towns led to the most severe battles ever to be fought in East Prussia. The German army tried in vain to save the civilians from the Red Army onslaught. The battle for East Prussia ended with the siege of Königsberg and Pillau, April 1945.
It draws on sources from both the Russian archives giving the Red Army view and those from the German side gives a good balance, and it contains never before seen pictures of the fighting and a great number of maps and colour profiles of the AFVs being employed on both sides in the battle. 384pp. over 200 b/w photos. 60 colour profiles and approx 35 maps.

The Korsun Pocket 1944
Niklas Zetterling & Anders Frankson
Astonishing tale of the breakout from Korsun. Vivid description of one of the most dramatic battles of WWII. However, the Germans were able to avoid serious defeats. Then, in January 1944, a disaster happened. Six divisions of Army Group South became surrounded. The Germans’ greatest fear was the prospect of another Stalingrad, the catastrophe that had occurred precisely one year before. This time, though, von Manstein was in control from the start and he immediately rearranged his Army Group to rescue his trapped divisions. Leading the break-in was Franz Baeke with his Tiger and Panther-tanks. Due to both weather and ferocious resistance, the German drive stalled. Although the Germans within the pocket lost nearly all of their heavy weapons and left many wounded behind, their escape was effected. 320pp. 16pp photos. Delayed until end September
