Sort by:          Product     Price      Default     see details A Better Comrade You Will Never Find Helmut Schiebel This book presents the Eastern Front experiences of Helmut Schiebel from 1941 to the end of WW II. The author took art in the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 as a member of the 43 Motorcycle Infantry Battalion of the 13 Panzer Division. In September he left for an Officer Candidate course in Germany, returning as a Leutnant and platoon leader to the division’s reconnaissance battalion at the end of April 1942. He was wounded at the end of June and retuned to Russia in September 1943. On the way to the 18 Panzer Division, he found out that the division was being dissolved and opted to transfer to the antitank branch. He arrived at Panzerjager Abteilung 88 in October 1943 where he was given a manual for antitank troops and soon after became a platoon commander on a Marder tank destroyer. The descriptions of the combat are detailed and there is much to be learned about armour tactics. This is not just another memoir; the author was an excellent commander and imparts many valuable lessons for those that are interested in small-unit actions. 272pp.5 b/w images, 12 colour images, 45 photos, 4 colour 3D drawings Price: £39.95 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 BATTLE FOR KHARKOV Jean Restayn Great photo coverage of the German recapture of Kharkov in 1943.

Their aim was to knock Italy out of the war and rapidly conquer the country. However, the Italian campaign was one of the toughest of the war. The Germans, under the inspired leadership of Albert Kesselring, mounted a tenacious and skillful defense in the mountainous terrain. Some of the most brutal battles of the Western Front were fought in Italy, most notably the battles for Cassino which lasted nearly six months. The German forces in Italy did not surrender until 2 May 1945 only 6 days before the end of the war in Europe. There has been little, if anything, published in English on the German viewpoint of the Italian campaign. 545pp. 300 photos Price: £45.00 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 BRIDGEHEAD KURLAND: THE SIX EPIC BATTLES OF HEERESGRUPPE KURLAND Franz Kurowski The exciting account of the little-known struggles of Heeresgruppe Kurland in the waning months of World War II.

Despite revisionist claims by the Soviets after the war, the fighting in Kurland resulted in the pinning of large numbers of forces and, ultimately, an unsuccessful campaign.

Panzer-Armee 1945 Georg Maier Georg Maier, the former Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations of the 6. (SS)-Panzer-Armee, has written not only a monumental history of his former field army but a sweeping account of the little-known fighting on the southern portion of the Eastern Front in the final months of the war. Includes the operations of four different Waffen-SS corps and, by extension, nearly all of the “name” divisions of the Waffen-SS: The 1. SS-Panzer-Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler, 2. SS-Panzer-Division Das Reich, 3. SS-Panzer-Division Totenkopf, 5. SS-Panzer-Division Wiking, 9. SS-Panzer-Division Hohenstaufen and the 12. SS-Panzer-Division Hitlerjugend. In addition, many of the most-famous Army armored divisions were involved in this fighting: the 1. Panzer-Division, the 3. Panzer-Division, the 6. Panzer-Division and the 23. Panzer-Division. Maier starts his narrative with part one of a three-part drama: The brutal and ill-fated fighting to relieve the encircled city of Budapest and the IX. SS-Gebirgs-Korps by Armeegruppe Balck (primarily by the IV. SS-Panzer-Korps). He then follows up with a day-by-day account of the successful but operationally relatively inconsequential Gran Offensive of the I.

The History of Panzer-Brigade 105 – September 1944 Timm Haasler Hold the Westwall tells the story of an experiment that failed. The creation of separate armoured brigades within the Panzertruppe in 1944. Formed at the direction of Hitler in response to the dramatic situation that was developing on the Eastern Front in the summer of 1944, the brigades, 10 in all were to be a form of field-army-level ready reserve and strike force. These brigades, which featured a tank battalion, a mechanized infantry battalion, a company of mechanized combat engineers as well as a substantial amount of organic antiaircraft firepower, could have been the “iron fist” envisioned by Hitler had they not been so hastily formed and then committed in ways never doctrinally called for. This book represents the first study in English of this failed experiment, concentrating on the formation, deployment, virtual destruction and ultimate deactivation of Panzer-Brigade 105. Instead of being deployed on the Eastern Front as originally intended, the brigade was rushed to the West to the increasingly perilous and unstable situation there for the Germans in the fall of 1944. 592 pages, 147 photographs, 22 maps and extensive charts and documentation Price: £42.95 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 HOT MOTORS COLD FEET Helmut Günther Personal recollections of the author’s service with a motorcycle battalion of the SS-Division “Reich” during the early days of the Russian campaign.

SS-Polizei-Panzer-Grenadier-Division, Vol. 1 1939-1943 Friedrich Husemann This first volume of the two part history covers the formation of the division in 1939, its employment during the so-called “Phony War” prior to the campaign in France in 1940, its participation in the later stages of that campaign and, finally, its commitment in the East in the northern theater of operations. It was in the East that the division earned its reputation as a tough and able combatant force, where it was especially steadfast in the defense. The division fought its way through the Russian Luga position and all the ways to the gates of Leningrad. Its shining hour was in the defense along the Wolchow River, where the Russians attempted to provide relief to the beleaguered city of Leningrad and trap a large portion of Army Group North in a poscket of their own. This volume finishes with the fighting in late 1942 and early 1943 east of Kolpino and along the Narwa River bend.
