To many people, he is also known as the commander of the battle group that fired the first shots of the Tunisian campaign. This biography, completed with the full support of Witzig’s widow and son, is a comprehensive history of the man and also provides important new detail on the German parachute arm that he served. In the course of his service, he was awarded the coveted Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross. Witzig was involved in Operation Mercury, the invasion of Crete, but was injured during the fighting. After his recovery, he was sent to Tunisia where he was credited with several successful defensive actions. He ended the war in captivity, surrendering to the Allies on 8 May 1945, the day after his name was placed on the Honour Roll of the Luftwaffe. 304pp. Due end July.

His immense talent was equalled only by his innate modesty and intense commitment to his work. This level of dedication ultimately resulted in the marvellous water-colours and exacting narrative presented in this publication. Aside from a now-rare work published in France costing many hundreds of dollars, Napoleon’s Army: 1790–1815 is the only complete collection of Rousselot’s life’s work on the period, here presented admirably yet affordably for the English-speaking public. 400pp. Illustrated throughout in full colour.

They were the last surviving members of SS Charlemagne, the Waffen SS division made up of French volunteers. They were among the final defenders of the city and of Hitler s bunker. Their extraordinary story gives a compelling insight into the dreadful climax of the Battle for Berlin and into the conflicts of loyalty faced by the French in the Second World War. Yet, whatever their motivation, the performance of these soldiers as they confronted the Soviet onslaught was unwavering, and their fate after the German defeat was grim. Once captured, they were shot out of hand by their French compatriots or imprisoned. SS Charlemagne is a gripping, fluently written study of one of the most revealing side stories of the war. 192pp. Due September available for pre-order Price: £19.95 Quantity   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50  Add to cart  see details The Roer River Battles Germany’s Stand at the Westwall, 1944–45 David Higgins A comprehensive documentation of Germany’s final desperate defence of the Western Front at the end of World War II. Following the Allied breakout from the Normandy beachhead in July 1944, the vaunted German Army seemed on the verge of collapse. As British and US forces fanned out across north-western France, enemy resistance unexpectedly dissolved into a headlong retreat to the German and Belgian borders. In early September an elated Allied High Command had every expectation of continuing their momentum to cripple the enemy's war-making capability, by capturing the Ruhr industrial complex and plunging into the heart of Germany. However, German commanders such as the "lion of defence," Walter Model, continued to reorganise depleted units and mount an increasingly potent defence. 288pp. 16pp photo secion. Due July.
