24. OUT OF NOWHERE: A HISTORY OF THE MILITARY SNIPER
Martin Pegler, C,O,

From the American War of Independence to World War II, the history of the military combat marksman is one of indifference and cost cutting. Despite the proven effectiveness of the rifleman in battle, for most of the 20th century snipers were regarded as little more than paid assassins. It was not until the Vietnam War that the undeniable effectiveness of the sniper was fully appreciated by the military, and with the advent of the 21st century the sniper has become one of the most vital battlefield specialists. Illustrated throughout with colour and black and white photographs, this chronological study of snipers details their evolution, training, weaponry and tactics. It also includes material from the author’s first hand interviews with the veteran snipers whose skills and extraordinary courage have made them the most greatly feared specialists in warfare. A fantastic book at a fantastic price.

25. STURMGEWEHR! - FROM FIREPOWER TO STRIKING POWER
Hans-Dieter Handrich, C,O

This is the full in-depth treatment of the most important small arms and cartridge developent of WWII. The author, a prizewinning German military historian, has spent years researching original documentation held in the military archives of Germany and elsewhere to produce the entire technical and tactical history of the design, development and fielding of the world's first mass-produced assault rifle and the revolutionary 7.92x33mm kurz cartridge. It has been said that Adolf Hitler was the greatest general the Allies had during World War II, and several examples of his fatefully bungled tactical decisions are discussed. None was perhaps more significant than his refusal - on three separate occasions during 1942 and 1943 - to sanction the adoption of the intermediate-calibre assault rifle as the general-purpose infantry weapon. Its acceptance and fielding thus proved to be a long, tortuous and never-fully-completed process, and, as a measure of the complexity of the story, in all of German small arms history, no weapon was renamed so often within such a short period of time. Its ultimate name, Sturmgewehr 44, was belatedly bestowed in October 1944 by Hitler himself after his early failures to appreciate the advantages of the assault rifle had delayed the programme for a full year, and by the time he changed his mind, a general rearming was out of the question. Nevertheless, the Sturmgewehr was by far the most important and influential small arm and cartridge of World War II. 392 illustrations.

John Walter, C

firearms expert John Walter examines the full range of guns used by the Third Reich from the commercially successful Walter PP and PPK, to the double-action, personal defense pistols Mauser HSc and Sauer M38. Fully illustrated with photographs and diagrams.

Collector Grade Publications Gun and War books 27. DESPERATE MEASURES: THE LAST-DITCH WEAPONS OF THE NAZI VOLKSSTURM
W. Darrin Weaver, C,O,

This is the first in-depth study of the amazing series of events which took place during the last chaotic months of Adolf Hitler's "Thousand Year Reich".
The war was already lost for Germany before the idea of a "People's Army" gained any sanction. The six million old men and boys of the Volkssturm were initially equipped with shotguns, drillings, hunting rifles, military training rifles and handguns scrounged from the German populace. These few arms were bolstered by foreign rifles and carbines captured during Germany's early wartime advances, and many collectors and historians may be surprised to learn that the rifle issued in the greatest numbers-the "true Volksgewehr"-was the Italian Carcano, some numbers of which were converted to fire the powerful German 7.92x57mm rifle cartridge! In addition, seven types of Volksgewehre were specifically designed for manufacture by German industry during the last months of the war. All are covered in detail, and the book includes many previously unpublished photographs of original Volkssturm weapons, including prototypes and rare presentation examples. Other Volkssturm weapons included the anti-tank Panzerfaust ("tank fist"), a single-shot, rocket-propelled shaped-charge device capable of defeating any Allied tank then in existence, and numerous "clones" of the British Sten machine carbine, which were hastily manufactured by a considerable number of German firms (a memorandum speaks of "30 subcontractors and 14 assembly points"). Programs were also begun to develop special Volkspistolen, made largely from stamped sheet metal. In summing up, the author notes that even if the Volkssturm had been fully trained, well equipped and armed with the best weapons in the world-which they decidedly were not-they could have done no more than delay the inevitable, which in many cases, documented here, they actually did. 558 illustrations

28. DEATH FROM ABOVE THE GERMAN FG42 PARATROOP RIFLE
Thomas B Dugelby and R Blake Stevens, C,O,

The First Edition of this ground-breaking study of the Fallschirmjägergewehr 42 (FG42) was published in 1990. Now long out of print, it contained 160 pages and 156 illustrations. When a re-issue was first contemplated, the intention was to simply reprint the book as it had originally appeared. Luckily, however, a great deal of important new information has recently come to light. Hence this New Expanded Edition, which includes everything from before plus an Addendum containing 68 more pages and 122 new illustrations. This book depicts and describes seven basic models of the FG42, from the earliest prototype (the Type `A') through the first or `early' production series (the Type `E') with its distinctively swept-back handgrip and intricately machined receiver, then the initial Rheinmetall redesign utilising a stamped receiver (the Type `F'), followed by the ultimate if extremely short-lived final series-production model, the Type `G'. Amazingly, virtually none of the Type `G' components will interchange with their lookalike Type `F' counterparts. This includes magazines. The 2007 Addendum challenges everything previously known or assumed about the timetable of FG42 development, thus solving some long-standing dilemmas but introducing even more new questions about these fascinating arms. It also includes a comprehensive, up-to-date listing of the serial numbers of every FG42 known to exist all over the world. 278 illustrations

29. THE MAUSER ARCHIVE
Jon Speed, C,O,

All the previously available information on Mauser sporting arms has already appeared in the author's two previous Collector Grade titles: Mauser: Original Oberndorf Sporting Rifles (1997) and Mauser Smallbores: Sporting, Target & Training Rifles (1998). After their publication the author felt that no more significant discoveries remained to be made in this field, as any further factory documentation had presumably been lost or destroyed. However, recently there have been two miraculous discoveries. First, hundreds of previously unpublished company documents have been located, which give us unprecedented insight into the workings of the Mauser firm almost from its inception right through both World Wars and the French occupation period. These include actual production and sales data, inventory lists, and cost and sale price calculations for all types of Mauser products - black powder arms, pistols, military arms (the Standard Modell, the K98k, the MG81 and MG151 and the Flak 38), centrefire hunting, sporting and target rifles, .22 sporting, target and training rifles, pressure test units, and more. Secondly, some 300 fragile glass plate negatives have miraculously survived, which depict a variety of hitherto unknown Mauser sporting models in their original configurations. Many embody features not often encountered, and include rare prototypes and in-the-white or low-serial-numbered examples of most early and later Mauser .22 rifle models, Schützen-style, Wehrmanns and Einheits target rifles, and some never-before-seen factory-engraved and custom rifles. The book ends with a selection of full-colour views of high-grade Mauser sporters, many with special features, from the world's finest collections. 870 illustrations

30. RIFLE AND CARBINE 98 IN GERMANY 1898 TO 1918
Dr. Dieter Storz, huge, C,O

In 1898 the German army introduced a new rifle that was to influence not only the armament of the German armed forces until the mid 20th century, but also that of many other countries. This book deals in detail with the history of M 98 rifles and carbines in Germany between 1898 and 1918. The book relies above all on the collections of the major military historical museums in Germany such as the Bayerisches Armeemuseum in Ingolstadt, the Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung in Koblenz and the Militärhistorisches Museum der Bundeswehr in Dresden. The Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin and the Royal Army Museum in Brussels also made their stocks available for this book. After years of research work in the archives in Munich, Dresden, Stuttgart and Suhl, new data, facts and contexts can now be presented to the public. Hitherto unknown experimental rifles originating from the Prussian Rifle Inspection Commission allow the path to be reconstructed leading to the new weapon. Exotic models and special patterns such as rifles with telescopic sights, accessories, ammunition, bayonets and many other things belonging to the rifle are presented in detail in the illustrations and text. But the book is not confined to describing the artifacts, it also illuminates the historical, military and technological background. The reader learns how troops handled weapons, how rifles and carbines were maintained at the time, how and according to which principles rifle training was carried out in peacetime and during the war and what role the rifle played in combat. The book also treats in detail technical modifications, manufacturing methods, the organization of mass production, state-run and private arms industry, production figures and the problems of arms supply during the First World War. approx. 850 photographs and illustrations

31. MAUSER PISTOLEN: DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION 1877-1946
W Darrin Weaver, C,O

Mauser manufactured a number of pistols of the firm's own design. These included roughly a million examples of the famous C96 (plus 100,000 selective-fire versions and 1,200 hunting carbines); 500,000 blowback pocket pistols; 80,000 examples of two versions of the tiny 6.35mm WTP “vest pocket” pistol; and 261,000 HSc pistols. Over the years Mauser also manufactured several handguns which had been designed elsewhere, including at least 7,800 Reichsrevolvers; 1,000,000 Parabellum (Luger) pistols, including lange Pistolen 08 (“artillery” Lugers) for Persia and Siam; plus 340,000 P38s. In addition, many other pistol models were produced as prototypes only. Many of these photos are from rare glass plate negatives which have never been published before. These include the Mauser C77; the Mauser “Zig-Zag” revolvers; the Mauser C87 ring-trigger repeater; the C02, the C06, the C06/08 and the C06 + C06/08 hybrid; the large-calibre blowback Model 1909 self-loader; and the Models 1912 and 1912/14 Armeepistole. During WWI Josef Nickl designed several locked-breech pistols with rotating barrels. After the war Nickl assisted in establishing the Brno arsenal in Czechoslovakia, where his rotating-barrel CZ22 was later produced as the blowback CZ27. Back at Mauser, Nickl then produced a further series of little-known but interesting pistols. A small series of double-action 9mm pistols appeared in the 1930s, in parallel with the popular HSc designed by Alex Seidel. These included the rotating-barrel “HSV36” and the streamlined Hsv. Late in World War II two ingenious stamped-frame revolvers and at least two models of stamped-steel Volkspistolen were developed. The occupying French looted some very interesting pistols before they put the Mauser factory back to work in May, 1945, after which thousands of postwar HSc, P08 and P38 pistols and other arms were assembled, largely from leftover components. 461 illustrations

34. THE FINNISH MILITARY CARTRIDGES 1918 - 1945
Authors: Mika Pitkänen and Timo Simpanen, C, chapter summaries in English, english captions.

To date, there has been almost no literature available concerning the small arms ammunition used by Finland except some ammunition manuals published by the Finnish Defense Forces. Furthermore, only a few books dealing with the history of the Finland's domestic ammunition industry exists. "Finnish Military Cartridges 1918-1945", was written to fill these gaps in Finnish military history. In addition to a serving as guide for identifying the cartridges used by the Finns, it offers historical information on the wide range of ammunition used, including domestic manufacture and the acquisition of ammunition from abroad. The book contains all of the centerfire military small arms ammunition - excluding those of 20 mm and larger caliber - used by the Finnish Army, Navy and Air Force prior to 1945. While the text is in Finnish, there are short English summaries after each chapter, and all photographs and drawings have both Finnish and English captions.

40. DREADED THREAT - THE 8.8 CM FLAK 18/36/37 IN THE ANTI-TANK ROLE

This is the history of the famous "88" - reputed to be the best anti-tank gun in WWII. Inspired by war stories, the author dug into the original records to find the facts about the development, employment, and ability of the 8.8 cm Flak to knock out tanks. Drawings and photographs illustrate the difference between the various models of the 8.8 cm Flak and interchangeability of the different models of L/56 gun tubes.Details are presented on the two models specifically modified for use in the ground attack role - the self-propelled 8.8 cm Flak 18 Sfl. auf schwere Zugkraftwagen 12 t (Sd.Kfz.8) and 8.8 cm Flak 18 auf Sd.Ah.201 towed by an armored 8 to Zugkraftwagen (Sd.Kfz.7). Translated combat reports reveal the success of the 88 in France, North Africa, and Russia. These same accounts tell the high price paid by the crews for employing a weapon not designed for anti-tank warfare. This 52 page book includes 43 photos, 12 drawings, and statistics on armor penetration, accuracy, and number of rounds needed to kill tanks.

PANZER TRACTS 1-1 - PAZNERKAMPFWAGEN I KLEINTRAKTOR TO AUSF.B

Krupp’s original records were used to create this first accurate history on Pz.Kpfw.I development from its concept in 1930 to series production starting in 1934. It took over 30 years of digging in public and private archives to reveal this true story (free of the errors created by wartime “intelligence analysts”). Careful measurements of surviving Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.A and B and original drawings/clear photographs were used in creating 10 sets of extremely accurate four-view scale prints of all production variants, including the Krupp Traktor (driver training chassis), the rare Versuchs-Aufbau (trial turrets and superstructures), the unique 20 sheet metal turrets and superstructures (produced for training by Krupp), and all the differences between the mass-produced 2., 3., 4., 5., and 6.Serie/La.S. (Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.A and B) as well as all the backfitted modifications on the Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.A and B. This 100-page book is heavily illustrated with 43 scale prints, 72 original drawings, and 80 clear/rare photos. The rest of the Pz.Kpfw.I variants, tactics, combat history, camouflage and markings will be presented in Panzer Tracts No.1-2.

This second volume continues with the in-depth presentation of new facts on the rest of the Pz.Kpfw.I variants, their combat history from Spain to Russia, and accurate information on camouflage colors and markings. Careful detailed measurement of surviving vehicles and original drawings with clear photographs were used to create 14 sets of four-view scale prints very accurately at full scale in CAD. These are printed at 1/24th scale to show small details on the kl.Pz.Bef.Wg. (small command tank), Schulfahrzeuge (driver’s training vehicles), LKA and LKB (Krupp’s light tanks for export), the VK 6.01 (Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.C) and VK 18.01 (Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.F). This 96 page book is heavily illustrated with 43 scale prints and 99 rare photos, including four pages with markings and camouflage patterns in color.

PANZER TRACTS 2-1 PANZERKAMPFWAGEN II AUSF.A/1 TO C 1934-1940
Thomas Jentz,

Now for the first time the design evolution of the Pz.Kpfw.II has been correctly sorted out and the characteristics of each Ausfuehrung (model) correctly identified. This has been made possible by over 38 years of research in private and public archives, chassis number analysis, and the assistance of friends sharing rare photos of Pz.Kpfw.II with legible chassis numbers. Hundreds of hours were spent precisely measuring surviving Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.c, A, B, and C components and over a thousand hours were spent in creating detailed as-built drawings. This book is also loaded with new information on the history, production, unit organization, tactics, and wartime after-action reports from front-line units. In accordance with our high standards, the text and data are based solely on primary sources. Over 70 scale drawings and 75 photos illustrate this 76 page book.

PANZER TRACTS 2-2 - PANZERKAMPWAGEN II AUSF. G,H,J,L & M AND DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTINO FROM 1938 TO 1943

As a result of digging through public and private archives for 38 years, the authors are able to create this accurate history of the very rare variants from the Pz.Kpfw.II family - the VK 901, VK 903, VK 1301, VK 1303, and VK 1601. Original drawings, documented measurements, and original wartime photographs were used to create four-view drawings of the VK 901 and VK 1601 (printed at 1/35th scale). Over a thousand hours were spent precisely measuring external details of the "Luchs" in order to create as-built drawings of all six views (including right side and belly) with both the VK 1301 and VK 1303 turrets in 1/24th scale. Even the smallest details are clearly discernable in the component drawings at 1/10th scale including the surprise feature of an Orterkompass mounted on the turret roof. This 56 page book is illustrated with over 50 drawings and 41 clean/rare photos.

PANZER TRACTS 3-2 - PANZERKAMPFWAGE III AUSF. E, F, G, & H UND DEVLOPMENT AND PRODUCTION 1938 TO 1941

38 years of digging out original records in public and private archives and hundreds of visits to museums were spent in creating this penultimate history of a winner - the Panzerkampfwagen III variants used to win the 1939 to 1941 campaigns. Survivors were accurately measured in detail and drawn at full scale to create as-built drawings for the first time - accurate to the same tight tolerances demanded of the original assembly firms. Thousands of hours went into sorting out the defining features for each Ausfuehrung as well as when significant modifications were introduced. We have selected the unique approach of using 1/10th scale drawings to illustrate the smallest details, while six-view (including right side and belly) 1/35th scale drawings are still used for the complete Pz.Kpfw.III. Over 120 clean/rare photos and drawings illustrate this 84 page book.

This has been made possible by over 39 years of research in private and public archives, chassis number analysis, and the assistance of friends sharing rare photos of Pz.Kpfw.III with legible chassis numbers. Hundreds of hours were spent precisely measuring surviving Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.J, L, M, and N components and over two thousand hours were spent in creating detailed as-built drawings. The authors have selected the unique approach of using 1/10th scale drawings to illustrate the smallest details, while six view (including right side and belly) 1/35th scale drawings are still used for the complete Pz.Kpfw.III. In accordance with our high standards, the text and data are based solely on primary sources. Over 120 scale drawings and 72 photos.

PANZER TRACTS 3-4 PANZERBEFEHLSWAGEN AUSF. D, E, H, J, UND K: DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION FROM 1935 TO 1943

Now for the first time the defining features of each Ausfuehrung of the Pz.Bef.Wg. have been correctly identified and when significant modifications were introduced correctly sorted out. This has been made possible by over 40 years of research in private and public archives, chassis number analysis, and the assistance of friends sharing rare photos of Pz.Bef.Wg. with legible chassis numbers. A surviving Pz.Bef.Wg.Ausf.E allowed the authors to correctly draw the unique details on the turret roof. Hundreds of hours were spent precisely measuring surviving Pz.Kpfw.III components shared by the Pz.Bef.Wg. and original drawings of the Pz.Bef.Wg.Ausf.D1 chassis and Pz.Bef.Wg.Ausf.K turret were used to create five sets of new five-view 1/35 scale drawings. In accordance with their high standards, the text and data are based solely on primary sources. 25 scale drawings and 72 photos illustrate this 56 page book.

PANZER TRACTS 5-1 - PANZERKAMPFWAGEN "PANTHER" AUSF.D WITH VERSUCHS-SERIE PANTHER, FGST.NR.V2

The authors spent hundreds of hours accurately measuring survivors and hundreds of days drawing at full-scale to create as-built drawings for the first time - accurate to the same tight tolerances demanded of the original assembly firms. Hundreds of research hours went into finding the numerous previously unnoticed modifications. Many of these newly discovered details would remain "hidden" if printed as 1/35th scale overview drawings. Therefore, we have selected the unique approach of using 1/10th scale drawings to illustrate the smallest details on components; while six-view (including right side and belly) 1/35th scale drawings are still used for the complete Panther. We also created "flat-plane" drawings of many components to aid modelers make accurate parts that are hard to replicate when only drawn at angle.

PANZER TRACTS 6-3 SCHWERE-PANZERKAMPFWAGEN MAUS AND E 100 1942-1945
Thomas Jentz

Thanks to the School of Tank Technology, Krupp’s correspondence and meeting notes survived to provide us with a detailed insider view of the development of the Maus and the associated TIger-Maus (later renamed E 100) projects. Since the rigid procurement system had broken down, anyone attending the next project meeting could add novel ideas as requirements such as remotely controlled flamethrowers and a 2 cm anti-aircraft gun in the turret. Thanks to a private collector, the detailed large-scale component drawings created by Porsche and Krupp for the Maus survived and were used to create the new scale drawings of the Maus. Pure chance also preserved the drawings, notes, and photographs that made it possible for us to create new drawings of the E 100 with a turret designed by Krupp in 1944. In accordance with our high standards, the text and data are based solely on primary sources. 62 clean/rare photos and 67 scale drawings illustrate this 72 page book.

PANZER TRACTS 14 - GEPANZERTE PIONIERE-FAHRZEUGE (ARMORED COMBAT ENGINEER VEHICLES) - GOLIATH TO RAEUMER S

The casualties taken by combat engineers working under heavy enemy fire led to the development of a dazzling array of technologically advanced armored vehicles, such as remote controlled vehicles that could deliver a heavy explosive charge with pinpoint accuracy, advanced bridging systems launched from tanks, and a strange Rammtiger for ramming into houses. This is the first comprehensive coverage of these Gepanzerte Pionier-Fahrzeuge which were tasked with destroying bunkers and buildings, crossing rivers and obstacles, and clearing minefields. This 56-page Panzer Tracts presents the first exciting history of these Pionier vehicles based solely on original documents. There are accurate 1:35 scale four-view drawings for the most tactically important types - many available for the very first time in print. Those interested in Pz.Kpfw.I, Pz.Kpfw.III, Tiger, and Sturmgeschütz will find new variants, modified to act as radio control vehicles. The history of battle experience with the bridging tanks reveals a first time insight into the successes and problems encountered. Scale drawings include the various production models of the bridgelayers along with the Sturmstegpanzer with its adapted firefighting ladders. This Panzer Tracts has a remarkable number of high quality photographs never before seen in print.

59. PANZERTAKTIK - GERMAN SMALL-UNIT ARMOR TACTICS IN WWII,

Wolfgang Schneider has written the definitive account of
German Army small-unit tactics in World War 2. Using period training manuals,
after-action reports, countless interviews with Panzer veterans and his own
experiences as a highly successful armor commander in the Bundeswehr,
Schneider describes period Panzer tactics and couples this narrative with
related maps and diagrams and hundreds of exciting photographs. Indeed, the
photographs alone are worth the price of the book. Drawing on many previously
unpublished sources, the photos illustrate all of the concepts presented in
the text. Concentrating at the battalion level and below, Schneider discusses
the major types of small-unit operational art - the offense and the defense -
as well as road marches, reconnaissance, command and control, working with
other arms of service, life in a tank, armor training and gunnery and the
future of armor. The text provides useful insight into armor tactics for both
the layman and the armor professional. This title plugs a gap in the
available literature, since very little has been written on the topic for the
general public by soldiers who are intimately familiar with the demands of
armored warfare, 600+ photos, maps and diagrams,

92. THE MOST VALUABLE ASSET OF THE REICH: A HISTORY OF THE GERMAN NATIONAL RAILWAY, 1920-1945, 2 vols.,
Alfred Mierzejewski, C,

the first volume is a remarkably detailed account of the history of the German state railroad system from its creation in 1920 through 1932, presenting a sophisticated
analysis of the railway's operations, finances, and political and social
roles. The second volume, covering the period 1933-1945, shows how the
technocratic culture of a huge organization facilitated German mobilization
for war. Germany literally ran on trains, and without the Reichsban and the
wartime European rail system harnessed to it, war and conquest would not have
become what they did. An impressive scholarly study, few illustrations.

95. PANZER UNITS IN FINLAND,
Kari Kuusela, C,O,

signed, English/Finnish text,
when the war between Finland and Soviet Union broke out in the summer of
1941, two German tank battalions advanced to the east as part of the
attacking forces. One battalion stayed in Finland throughout the war to the
end of 1944 and briefly fought also against the Finns, the other was
withdrawn in December 1942. In the most critical moments of the Finnish war
in June-July 1944 two German assault gun units were stiffening the defense in
the Karelian isthmus and on the Gulf of Vyborg. Besides these bigger units
also several smaller Panzer units operated in Finland. In this book the
history of these Panzers and their crews has been recorded for the first
time. The text is complimented by hundreds of excellent photos, most superior
quality, and numerous maps. A bargain at this price,

122. PANZERKRIEG: THE RISE AND FALL OF HITLER'S TANK DIVISIONS
Peter McCarthy, C

The image that defines the Nazis’ Blitzkrieg is that of the Panzerwaffe’s massed columns of tanks sweeping through Europe, all resistance smashed in their wake. The Panzers’ achievements in battle were largely responsible for Germany’s early successes in World War II, and once the tide had turned against the Reich, the Panzers became the backbone of its defense. But the dramatic story of Hitler’s tank divisions is more than one of mere mechanical efficiency. It hangs, too, on those who commanded and fought in them, and believed in their near invincibility. These are the men who come to life in this immensely readable narrative. Great generals like Guderian, Rommel, and Manstein, tank masters like Wittmann and Bake, and inspired commanders like Balck and Bayerlein dominate the story of Panzerkreig. Dispensing with jargon, but including explanatory maps, rare illustrations, and fascinating detail on uniforms, crew members, and the mechanical features of the machines, the authors give a comprehensive overview of all aspects of the subject, both human and technical. They have also benefited from new information available since the opening of Cold War archives. Emerging from the narrative is the whole vast canvas of the war, as it follows the titanic struggles that raged between France’s bocage country, North Africa’s desert wastes, and Russia’s limitless steppes. The development of German fighting vehicles and tactics is fully charted, and the many myths and misconceptions of the Panzerwaffe are exploded. Extensive research, maps, illustrations throughout, reference to the leading participants’ memoirs, and original new conclusions all contribute to this finely measured assessment of the evolution, exploits, and eventual destruction of this superlative fighting force.

136. PEENEMUNDE, THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF HITLER'S SECRET WEAPONS V-1 AND V-2
Guido De Maeseneer, C,

''Much has been written about Peenemunde during recent years,'' von Braun said thirty years ago,'' but most of it is sheer nonsense!'' Had von Braun had the opportunity to read Guido De Maeseneer's book, he would have declared it a remarkable exception. Indeed, De Maeseneer's essay breathes Peenemunde's air and reflects the spirit that prevailed on that little island in the Baltic for eight dramatic years. From 1937 until 1945, the ''Peenemunders,'' under the technical and spiritual leadership of Wernher von Braun, developed the modern long-range precision rocket that would open the road to outer space for mankind, while Hitler and his SS-generals, in a frantic effort after the loss of the air war, tried to use the still immature rocket as a weapon that would win the final victory for Germany. Guido De Maeseneer was born in 1949. From his fifteenth year on, he collected and read any available information about Peenemunde and the rocket development program. His primary sources of information were the original writings and reports of Dornberger, von Braun, Huzel, Merk, Ehricke, and other members of the Peenemunde team. De Maeseneer limits his writings to a strictly factual reporting of events, without any attempt to judge the decisions and actions of the people during the 1930s and '40s as to their technical soundness, or their moral or ethical aspects. This restraint on the author's part adds very decisively to the authenticity, and therefore to the historical value, of his book. De Maeseneer's style, with its fast sequence of events that occurred simultaneously at different places, reflects the real situation for Germany, which, in spite of superhuman efforts, was considered hopeless by most Germans. While the actions of the government, with continuous changes in the lines of command and also in the choice of initiatives, could appear only chaotic to the citizens, a common determination persisted within Peenemunde to proceed with the technical work of building a long-range precision rocket. De Maesneer's list of books, essays, and other sources at the end of his text shows to the knowledgeable reader that he certainly covered the serious literature that provides reliable information about Peenemunde and its work program. Since the author avoided any judgments and interpretations of his own, and since he selected his sources very carefully and wisely, his text achieves a degree of realism and veracity that is absent in other contemporary books about the Peenemunde project. De Maeseneer's book offers a wealth of details that describe the dramatic events during those crucial years in Peenemunde.

144. HITLER'S MIRACLE WEAPONS: THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE ROCKETS AND FLYING CRAFT OF THE THIRD REICH VOLUME 2 - FROM THE V-1 TO THE A-9: UNCONVENTIONAL SHORT AND MEDIUM RANGE WEAPONS
Friedrich Georg, C,O,

Following on from the success of volume 1, Friedrich Georg’s second book in the series covers unconventional short- and medium-range weapons. In particular, this volume includes a wealth of information about the V-rocket programme, not just the more familiar V-1 and V-2, but special variants of these two rockets as well as later experimental craft and weaponry. Following a fascinating examination of pre-war efforts to build flying bombs, the author examines the V-1 and V-2 projects in great detail. Particular attention is paid to special variants that have previously received little coverage. These include the V-2 A-4 ‘America Rocket’, and V-2s designed to carry nuclear and radiological warheads. The capability of the Germans to deploy such weapons is also discussed. A large number of weird and wonderful projects that never left the drawing board are examined, including the FR-35, V-6, V-101, Waterfall and Naval EMW A-7 rockets. The fascinating final section examines German plans to utilise such rocketry against London and Paris in 1945, as well as recounting the activities of V-weapons on other fronts, including Italy, Yugoslavia and the Eastern Front. The text is supported by b/w photographs and 16 superb pages of colour artwork, including profiles, computer-generated images of designs that never flew, and pictures of the author’s own models.
- A superb study of Germany’s short- and medium-range ‘miracle weapons’, focusing on the V-1, V-2 and other rocketry.
- Includes great detail on numerous projects previously shrouded in mystery and secrecy, as well as evidence that the Germans utilised V-weapons in Italy, the Balkans and against the Soviets.
- Features 16 superb pages of full colour artwork, including profiles, computer images and pictures of the author’s own models representing many of the projects discussed in the text.

R.H.S. Stolfi, C,

The acknowledged superiority of the German Army in battle fighting is exemplified in the offensives of 1939-1942, and this book combines description and interpretation of the advances if nine German panzer divisions to reveal extraordinary details of the great victories. The author has based the study almost entirely on the division war diaries and is able to take the reader aboard the command and combat vehicles, escort him through the fighting, and extract reasons for German success in offensive maneuver war. Based as it is on primary source material, the book presents an authoritative and original interpretation of German success and not the familiar synthesis of secondary sources, not a photo book, includes a handful of photos, but does have maps,

146. HITLER'S V-WEAPONS SITES
Philip Henshall, C,

This is the first comprehensive guide in any language to the sites involved in the V-weapon programme, tracing the development of V-weapon technology and the German "supergun", the HDP. The author examines the role of V-weapons in WWII, going on to explain how the storage and launch sites were built and how they were defended against the air campaign that followed. Many of these installations still exist despite repeated efforts by Allied bombers to destroy them. A comprehensive gazetteer reveals what is left to see today of these massive structures both above and below the ground. Extraordinary feats of engineering were required to build storage and launch facilities for these powerful missiles, a large network of sites being constructed across France, Germany, Poland and the Netherlands (even Italy). This book features a large table that list every site and its location, and its original purpose. Besides the excellent photographs - wartime and the remains today, there are many technical drawings and blueprints/architectural renditions. This is really a superb reference book.

147. THE COMBAT HISTORY OF SCHWERE PANZER-ABTEILUNG 507, IN ACTION IN THE EAST AND WEST WITH THE TIGER 1 AND TIGER II
Helmut Schneider, C,O,

(A collaborative effort by members of the former battalion and edited by Helmut Schneider) With 11 pages of color illustrations, one page of color photographs and more than 150 additional illustrations and period photographs (including all of the photographs contained in the original German-language edition of the book as well as images obtained from a variety of other sources). Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 507 was formed in late 1943 using cadre provided from Panzer-Regiment 4 of the 13. Panzer-Division. In early 1944, it was sent to the Eastern Front, where it successfully participated in a number of defensive efforts as a mobile "fire brigade." In early 1945, it was sent to Paderborn for reconstitution. There it was being refitted with the Tiger II, when it was hastily attached to SS-Panzer-Brigade "Westfalen" for the defense of the Paderborn area. Equipped with a wide variety of fighting vehicles, including the Jagdpanther and the Jagdtiger, it successfully engaged American forces of the 3rd Armored Division southwest of Paderborn, before it was pulled further back to the east. One of the few combat losses of US general officers during World War II ‹ Major General Rose, the commanding general of the 3rd Armored Division ‹died in an engagement with the battalion. After losing the remainder of its tanks to combat activity or their forced transfer to SS forces, the battalion moved to Czechoslovakia, where it was again issued combat vehicles, including the Hetzer tank destroyer, where it spent the final days of the war trying to surrender to Western Allies. In the end, the battalion was handed over to Russian forces, where many of its members spent long years in Russian captivity. This account of the battalion was written primarily by former members of the unit and features almost all first-hand accounts. In addition, numerous appendices amplifying much of the material have been provided. These include an extensive chronology of the battalion and additional background material on the "parent" formation of schwere Panzer-Abteilung 507 ‹ Panzer-Regiment 4 ‹ including the late-war history of elements of the regiment fighting in both Hungary and Italy.

148. THE COMBAT HISTORY OF THE 10. PANZER DIVISION, IN ACTION IN THE EAST, WEST AND NORTH AFRICA: 1939-1943
J. Restayn and N. Moller, C,O,

With 34 pages of color and hundreds of terrific black and white photographs. This photo album presents the history of the division through a brief text, hundreds of photographs, several maps and numerous custom color illustrations. This book offers the first account in English of this battle-proven division, which was formed shortly before the outbreak of the war. It fought in Poland, France and in the opening stages of the campaign in Russia. In mid-1942, it was pulled out of the line, reconstituted and reorganized in France and then sent to North Africa as part of Hitler’s desperate attempt to save the situation there. Although the division spent only six months in the desert, it fought both the British and the Americans. It gave the “green” American Army a bloody nose in some of its first encounters with the Germans, including the legendary fighting at Kasserine Pass, before it had to bow to defeat and capitulation at Tunis in May 1943. Although the division had a proud and successful history, it was never reconstituted. Authors J. Restayn and N. Moller have brought this division to life with photographs that chronicle the division from its formation to its demise. Hundreds of unpublished photographs from veterans of the division are coupled with breathtaking combat photography from French and German archives. In addition to the pictorial coverage, the reader is treated to a concise account of the division’s history, maps of all of its major campaigns, numerous tables of tank inventories and order of battle along with 34 pages of full-color illustrations, including two pages of color photographs. J. Restayn has superbly illustrated virtually all of the combat vehicles and artillery pieces of the division, as well as most of the armored personnel carriers, armored cars and soft-skinned vehicles it used throughout its 44-month history. In addition, there are numerous renderings of some of the armored vehicles the division encountered during its campaigns.

THE TIGER PROJECT: A SERIES DEVOTED TO GERMANY'S WWII TIGER TANK CREWS.
series edited by Dale Rutter

This series delves into the inner workings of Germany's most fearsome panzers of WWII, the Tiger and Tiger II. These books are about the men who crewed these battlefield behemoths. Based mainly on interviews, personal diaries, and recollections, the series will present the German Tiger and King Tiger crewmen as soldiers who had the opportunity to serve as a member of a crew and units that fielded this extraordinary weapon. This series will include all levels of soldiers from the Tigerabteilung commanders, down to the drivers, loaders, gunners, and radio-operators. Each book is an oversize hardcover.

153. BOOK ONE: ALFRED RUBBEL: SCHWERE PANZER (TIGER) ABTEILUNG 503
C,O

This first book is devoted solely to Alfred Rubbel, who served on the Russian Front from the opening of Barbarossa through to the end of the war. When the new Tiger-abteilungs were raised, Rubbel was assigned to one as a newly commissioned officer. Throughout his years in the panzers he experienced both the elation of the opening successes of Barbarossa and the demoralizing withdrawal back over the borders of the Third Reich. Combining his military experiences with over 200 photographs, the majority of which are previously unpublished, creates a very readable account from an everyday soldier who also happened to have the privilege of serving in one of the most successful tanks ever produced. This is actually his personal war diary.

154. BOOK TWO: HORST KRONKE: SCHWERE PANZER (TIGER) ABTEILUNG 505
C,O,

As with the first book in this series covering the experiences of Alfred Rubbel, this second book is strictly the story of one man: Horst Krönke. The story combines the experiences of Krönke with approximately 400 photographs (most which are unpublished), hand-drawn maps, and original documents, to tell the story of a veteran of Germany’s elite panzerwaffe and feared Tiger tanks. His initial experience was in training with Panzer Ersatz Abteilung 5. From there he was assigned to Panzer Regiment 6, of the 3rd Panzer Division and experienced the opening of the war in Russia. Krönke was in action on the Eastern Front through the end of 1942 at which time he was sent back to Germany to attend officer cadet and then officer’s schools. Upon his return to the front and Panzer Regiment 6 he was sidetracked by an old comrade and was incorporated into schwere Panzer Abteilung 503. At that point Horst was introduced to the new Tiger tank and served with a Tiger unit, transferring to schwere Panzer Abteilung 505 to serve with his brother, until the end of the war. Over 400 b/w photos.

155. GERMAN AIR-DROPPED WEAPONS TO 1945
Wolfgang Fleischer, C,O

This book traces the development of German air-dropped ammunition, from the crude "aeronautical artillery" of WWI to the advance remote-control bombs of WWII. Major topics include demolition bombs, incendiary bombs, special dropped ammunition, sea-dropping ammunition and dropping containers. A comprehensive illustrated listing catalogues information on 100 different bombs, 22 canisters and 50 of the most important bomb fuses. This is unusual and innovative Luftwaffe title, and one that really does fill a gap in Luftwaffe literature. 390 b/w photos.

156. SLEDGEHAMMERS: STRENGTHS AND FLAWS OF TIGER TANK BATTALIONS IN WWII
Christopher Wilbeck, S,

By 1945, the Germans created eleven Army and three Waffen-SS heavy tank battalions. These heavy tank battalions were employed in nearly every part of Europe against almost every enemy of Germany. As vast in breadth and scope as the employment of Tiger battalions themselves, Sledgehammers provides historical examples and analysis of heavy tank battalions’ actions in dozens of battles in North Africa, Normandy, Italy, the Ardennes Offensive, and on the Eastern Front including Operation ZITADELLE/the Battle of Kursk, Operation BAGRATION, the battle of the Cherkassy Pocket, late war attacks to relieve Budapest, and many other more minor engagements. Although a great deal has already been published about Tiger tanks’ technical details and some of the units which used them, until now, very little has been written concerning the organization and tactical employment of these tanks throughout the German armed forces and across the theaters in which they were employed. Sledgehammers provides an in-depth look at heavy tank battalions’ organizations and tactics, including the tactical doctrine by which these elite units were supposed to fight and how they were actually employed on the battlefield by their commanders and crews. Even given the Tiger’s reputation, many readers will be amazed by the fearsome casualties inflicted by the crews of many of these behemoth armored vehicles. It is safe to say that no other armored vehicle of the war wreaked as much havoc among enemy formations as Tigers. Many will, however, also find it equally stunning to learn of the Tigers’ many technical and tactical vulnerabilities. Through the systematic use of extremely detailed primary source and other impeccably reliable research, Sledgehammers demolishes several major myths about Tigers in World War II. Meticulously researched and written with the perspective that only a professional tanker can bring to the subject, Sledgehammers synthesizes information to provide new and definitive insights into the strengths and flaws of World War II’s most feared and legendary tanks.

\157. HITLER'S SIEGFRIED LINE
Neil Short, C,O-

The Siegfried Line was a mammoth wall of German defences that stretched from the Swiss border in the south to Aachen in the north, approximately 300 miles long and, in places, up to 20 miles deep. Built by Nazi Germany between 1936 and 1938, over 500,000 workers were involved in its construction. This book provides a detailed historical background to the Siegfried Line, and a guide to what is left to see of it today. The line was not designed to thwart a full-scale offensive, but rather to delay any attack sufficiently to allow the German reserves to mobilize. In the "phoney war" (1939-40) it was effective enough to prevent the French from launching a pre-emptive strike when German forces were heavily engaged in Poland. Certain sections of the defences saw some fo the fiercest fighting of World War II. Many of the defences have since been dismantled, but some still remain today.

159. TIGERS IN COMBAT, VOLUME 1
Wolfang Schneider, S,O,

This is an oversize paperback reprint of the most popular Fedorowicz title ever, and certainly the most definitive book on the subject. I am thrilled to be able to offer the book again, but not so thrilled that it's a paperback, as this book gets used and needs to be durable! But if you don't want to pay hundreds for the hardback, this is a very viable alternative. Everything in the hardcover edition is in the paperback. Wolfgang Schneider tells--in pictures--the story of these renowned tanks. Hundreds of photos depict Tigers in all situations and terrain, and a section of painstakingly detailed drawings brings the tanks to life in the metallic grays, snow whites, desert tans, and forest greens and browns that colored them. Modelers and buffs alike will delight in this impressive collection. An accompanying text lists units' combat strengths, equipment, commanders, and engagements.

162. TOTAL DETAIL: VOL 1 - SD KFZ 250 1 Alt - GD LIVING HISTORY
Richard Stone, C,O,

This book will re-define the use of rein actors and original vehicles from the war. The author has gone to great lengths to research the history of GD’s reconnaissance battalion and particularly the 2nd company who used the Sd Kfz 250 to re-create accurate both in detail and atmosphere non-combat scenes from the war. The lads who took part, took this as a challenge right down to the pencil or packet of cigarettes in their pockets or the contents of their rucksack and bread bags which were full of original items that would have been carried by a Wehrmacht soldier from GD. There is even a chapter that uses the very same locations in Poland along GD's original retreat lines north up to Koenigsberg to further add realism into the black and white section of the book.

100 pages of superbly realistic scenes are then backed up with 200 pages with over 450 colour photographs to provide you with the ultimate in details about the uniforms featured, the ordnance, the food, the personal items, translate and explain the Soldbuch, create five chapters featuring all that a German soldier would have carried into battle with or kept stowed in his rucksack inside the 250. This includes the board-games he could have received from home, genuine comic books, his underwear and socks to the foot powder he would have used the kind of stove they could have stolen from the station-master’s office on there way up to Poland, the coffee grinder, the ration bread and original bottles of wine sent to the frontline soldiers.

All of this alongside or featured inside a beautifully restored Sd Kfz 250/1 Alt, An Sd Kfz 251/1 Ausf D plus a Schwimmwagen and two Kubelwagens.

In this book the author takes you inside the 250 to show you just what it must have been like to live in and fight out of one of these fantastic but very cramped vehicles. He has created the very pictures that are simply not available from the archives and done this so well that there is nothing out of place or inaccurate about what you will see.

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE
Over 250 black & white photographs
Over 450 colour photographs
Original Sd Kfz 250/1 alts
Original Sd Kfz 251/1 ausf D
Original Kubelwagen

168. VOLKSWAGEN MILITARY VEHICLES OF THE THIRD REICH
Blaine Taylor, C,O,

Profusely illustrated and rare photographic history of the Volkswagen car and its military use in Hitler's Third Reich. Originally intended as a symbol of prewar prosperity, the Volkswagen, or "people's car," eventually became a key element in the Nazi war machine. With the outbreak of World War II, the production of the Volkswagen car was adapted for military use, and the Kubelwagen, German "jeep," was designed and manufactured throughout Germany. A special amphibious version, the "Schwimmwagen," was later developed and spearheaded many major German offensives. Appearing in several variants, Volkswagen vehicles became the mainstay of German command and motorized units. This detailed history of the Volkswagen in the 1930s and 1940s covers all varieties of makes and models of the Volkswagen in use during the Third Reich and is richly illustrated with rare photographs of the vehicles themselves, technical drawings, engine designs, and sales brochures of the period.

181. PANZERKRIEG: AN OVERVIEW OF GERMAN ARMORED OPERATIONS IN WWII
Franz Kurowski, C,

with more than 175 photographs and maps. Panzerkrieg — “armored warfare” — is an exciting recounting of the role played by Germany’s armored forces in the epic fighting of World War 2. While the First World War saw the introduction of armored warfare on a limited scale, it was the military visionaries who shaped and molded Germany’s fledgling armored forces in the post-war period. They saw the potential inherent in this weapons system. Combined with the awesome potential of modern airpower and an imaginative use of tactics, the German Panzertruppe almost enabled Hitler to accomplish his aggressive dreams. This book presents the reader with a fascinating glimpse into the formation of this formidable force, its initial unparalleled string of victories — often against numerically far superior foes who were armed with even better equipment — and its inevitable downfall under the combined military might of the Western Allies and the Soviet Union. In addition to providing the reader with an operational overview of all of the campaigns in which German armored forces played a major role, Franz Kurowski also fills his text with innumerable personal profiles of the men who commanded these steel monsters at the small-unit level. The reader thus gets a feeling not only for the broad sweep of maneuver warfare at the operational level, he also gets a glimpse from inside the turret by the men who fought from them.
Much of the narrative concentrates on the early-war years, when the application of the Blitzkrieg doctrine achieved one decisive victory after another. Although the classic use of armor as a force multiplier in an offensive role became less and less pronounced as the war progressed, the author also covers the final years of the war, where the Panzertruppe became increasingly relegated to the role of a “fire brigade” at the hot spots of the fighting. While different aspects of this subject have been covered in other titles, it is rare to find one book that not only captures events at an operational level but also provides the reader with the “human” side of the clash of steel. Franz Kurowski is uniquely well qualified for writing this title. In addition to having written more than 100 books on the Second World War, he has personally interviewed a number of the high-ranking or highly successful personalities profiled here. Nearly 700 pages!

There is a vast array of different type of trains featured, and the photos themselves are a great variety, from exterior to photos of the interior and how German soldiers were prepared for action. This book isn't really for modelers per se as it doesn't have the color profiles, just tons of black and white photos, most of excellent quality. Oversize book, over 310 photos.

185. GERMAN ROCKET FIGHTERS OF WWII
Hans-Peter Diedrich, C,O,

This book is the first to present every rocket aircraft flown in Germany and the rocket systems developed by Walter and BMW, as well as several of the most interesting projects drawn up by Germany’s aviation industry. In 1940 the Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug launched the DFS 194, developed by Alexander Lippisch, and the tests with this experimental plane laid the foundation for the Messerschmitt Me 163, the world’s first operational rocket fighter. Using a Walter rocket engine, the Me 163 achieved hitherto unimaginable climb rates and speeds. It was in this rocket powered plane that, on 2 October 1941, Heini Dittmar reached 1003 km/h and thus became the first pilot in the world to break the magic mark of 1000 km/h. In so doing, he also brushed against the sound barrier. The technology incorporated into Germany’s rocket planes – the Messerschmitt Me 163 Bs and Cs, the Me 263, and Bachem Ba 349 Natter – was recognized throughout the world as cutting edge and after the war had a major impact on the technological development of other countries. This book is a must-have for every aviation enthusiast.

186. MICHAEL WITTMANN AND THE TIGER COMMANDERS OF THE LEIBSTANDARTE
Patrick Agte, C,

This is a complete and unabridged reprint of the long out-of-print JJ Fedorowicz classic with 700 photographs, 34 maps and 4 orders of battle. This title traces the life and career of the most famous tanker of World War II, SS-Hauptsturmführer Michael Wittmann, and his comrades in the Tiger company of the 1. SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Division “Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler”, which later evolved into a separate tank battalion, schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 101 (501). The author brings the life story of Wittmann and other Tiger commanders alive by presenting innumerable first-hand accounts of surviving soldiers of these famous formations. As well as being a combat biography of Michael Wittmann this book is an excellent unit history of schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 101 (501) that continues beyond Wittmann’s death until the end of the war. This is a strictly limited reprint — only a total of 1,000 copies — so don’t hesitate to reserve some copies. The contents are the same and are printed on our standard glossy paper. The only changes are the legal ones required for the title page and the back cover, which will feature an information blurb. Only 1000 copies printed, and this book is already out of print again.

189. SS ARMOR ON THE EASTERN FRONT 1943-1945
Velimir Vuksic, C,O,

This book is dedicated to some of the seminal fighting on the Eastern Front in the latter stages of the war and featuring SS armor formations! Yes, that's right! Not the same old tired rehash of the handful of pictures that have been circulating forever. This is a treasure trove of mostly recently discovered, professionally shot photography featuring:
The 1. SS-Panzer-Division "Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler"
The 2. SS-Panzer-Division "Das Reich"
The 3. SS-Panzer-Division "Totenkopf"
The 4.SS-Panzer-Grenadier Division "Polizei"
The 5. SS-Panzer-Division "Wiking"
The 9.SS-Panzer-Division "Hohenstaufen"
The 10.SS-Panzer-Division "Frundsberg"
The 11.SS-Panzer-Grenadier
The 12.SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend"and a host of other formations (including some Army) and heretofore rarely seen vehicles and equipment
The book features chapters on these operations: Zhitomir, Cherkassy, Tarnopol, Kovel, Warsaw, Budapest. 8 maps (2 in color) 403 photos, 12 organizational diagrams, 16 pages of color artwork. Fedorowicz is making the claim that this may be their best book ever.

190. PANZER-BRIGADE 105, THE EXPERIMENT THAT FAILED: GERMAN ARMORED OPERATIONS ON THE WESTERN FRONT IN SEPTEMBER 1944
Timm Hassler, C

with 100+ photo illustrations; numerous maps. In 1944 Hitler ordered the formation of separate armor brigades — 10 in all — to act as a standing ready-reaction force against Soviet penetrations. The armor brigades consisted of a tank battalion, a mechanized infantry battalion and a company of combat engineers for its fighting forces. With command interest from the highest levels, the brigades were rapidly formed and lavishly equipped. Although intended originally for employment on the Eastern Front, several of the brigades — including Panzer-Brigade 105 — were sent to the west in order to combat the increasingly desperate situation there. What transpired is the main subject of this exciting new title by German author, Timm Hassler. Through painstaking research and supported by nearly a thousand footnotes, Hassler has provided an almost day-by-day account of this ill-fated brigade, which was essentially decimated after a period of three weeks of combat and eventually consolidated with the 9. Panzer-Division. Hassler is a true historical detective, who has been able to weave an exciting narrative of this formation out of the slimmest of primary material. As such, he provides a fascinating insight into what turned out to be a major miscalculation on the part of the German armed forces and a squandering of scarce resources that might have been better served elsewhere.

192. ITALIAN ARMOUR IN GERMAN SERVICE 1943-1945
Daniele Guglielmi, C,O, Full English text. OUT OF STOCK

From Roadrunner Publishing comes this exquisite book on the subject of Italian military vehicles used by the Germans. Once the Armistice was signed, the German army rounded up all the Italian military vehicles it could find. This amounted to quite a haul and was more than enough to fully equip the units for which they were destined. As you might expect, a goodly number of these vehicles were used in secondary roles, with the police (which were pretty para-military) and with anti-partisan units throughout the Aegean basin. What's more, since the Germans controlled the industrialized north, new vehicles were constantly under construction. This also included a fairly well organized repair system as well. In fact, new equipment was being produced right up until the last days of the war. This book is divided into five sections. Part One is a grouping of introductory essays on technical and linguistic notes, German unit organization, vehicle production, the use of Italian armor and the opinion of the Germans regarding Italian vehicles. On this last item, one can pretty well sum it up into saying that they thought most of the vehicles were adequate, but they really liked the Italian armored cars. Part Two covers the vehicles and there are sections on armored railway vehicles, armored cars, light & medium tanks, self-propelled guns, and the P-40 heavy tank (with a special section on the P-40's last fight). Part Three covers its employment in the field with German units, RSI units and then there is a section on uniforms and personal equipment. This part is rather extensive as it covers all known units and the equipment they have used. This must have taken a lot of research to obtain this information. The Fourth part is on camouflage schemes and unit insignia with the final section on various documentation, references and acknowledgements. What one has in the end is the finest work on this subject yet published and one that I seriously doubt will be eclipsed for a very long time, if ever. Includes hundreds of period photos and excellent drawings by John L. Rue and outstanding color profiles by Giovanni Mapelli and Jean Restayn.

194. THE BLITZKRIEG LEGEND: THE CAMPAIGN IN THE WEST 1940
Karl-Heinz Frieser, C

Here, for the first time in English, is an illuminating new German perspective on the decisive Blitzkrieg campaign of 1940. Karl-Heinz Frieser's account provides the definitive explanation for Germany's startling success and the equally surprising and rapid military collapse of France and Britain on the European continent. In a little over a month, Germany decisively defeated the Allies in battle, a task that had not been achieved in four years of brutal fighting during World War I. First published in 1995 as the official German history of the 1940 campaign in the west, the book goes beyond standard explanations to show that German victory was not inevitable and French defeat was not preordained. Contrary to the usual accounts of the campaign, Frieser illustrates that the military systems of both Germany and France were solid and that their campaign planning was sound. The key to victory or defeat, he argues, was the execution of operational plans--both preplanned and ad hoc--amid the eternal Clausewitzian combat factors of friction and the fog of war. Frieser shows why on the eve of the campaign the British and French leaders had good cause to be confident and why many German generals were understandably concerned that disaster was looming for them. This study explodes many of the myths concerning German Blitzkrieg warfare and the planning for the 1940 campaign. A groundbreaking new interpretation of a topic that has long interested students of military history, it is being published in cooperation with the Association of the U.S. Army.

Henry Stevens, S,

Painstakingly researched, compiled, Hitler's Flying Saucers: A Guide To German Flying Discs Of The Second World War is an original, iconoclastic, involving, and entertaining look at the saucer projects carried out by the Germans during World War II. Presenting amazing (and sometimes incredulous) theories, some of which have been vehemently denied by conventional authorities, Hitler's Flying Saucers is a singularly fascinating and thought-provoking study. Learn why the Schriever-Habermohl project was actually two projects and read the written statement of a German test pilot who actually flew one of these saucers; about the Leduc engine, the key to Dr. Miethes saucer designs; how U.S. government officials kept the truth about foo fighters hidden for almost sixty years and how they were finally forced to come clean about the German origin of foo fighters. Learn of the Peenemuende saucer project and how it was slated to go atomic. Read the testimony of a German eyewitness who saw magnetic discs. Read the U.S. governments own reports on German field propulsion saucers. Read how the post-war German KM-2 field propulsion rocket worked. Learn details of the work of Karl Schappeller and Viktor Schauberger. Learn how their ideas figure in the quest to build field propulsion flying discs. Find out what happened to this technology after the war. Find out how the Canadians got saucer technology directly from the SS. Find out about the surviving Third Power of former Nazis. Learn of the U.S. governments methods of UFO deception and how they used the German Sonderbueroll as the model for Project Blue Book.

204. GERMANY'S V-2 ROCKET
George Kennedy, C,O,

Germany’s V-2 looks at one of the major technological advances of the Second World War, the V-2 ballistic missile. Although dwarfed by today’s giant rockets, the V-2 represented a quantum leap beyond anything previously built. During the last six months of the war in Europe, Germany launched thousands of these missiles against the Allies. This book traces the origins and development of the V-2, from groups of individual experimenters in the 1930s to its use as a weapon system. Particular emphasis is paid to such topics as the structure and components of the missile, its ground support equipment, and field procedures. After the war, the V-2 formed the foundation for the space programs of the Soviet Union and United States. Information is included on previously ignored V-2 launches in the United States. Over 130 b/w photographs.

207. PANZERWRECKS 1: GERMAN ARMOUR 1944 - 1945
Lee Archer, S,O,

First in a series, it features a collection of photos, some of them very rare, of destroyed, abandoned and captured German armoured vehicles. Also included is the odd Allied type used or evaluated by the German, but later recaptured – such as the Sherman 17pdr Firefly, M3 Stuart and M20 armoured car. All pictures are captioned and where unit identities are known these are given, but there is no speculation; if the authors don’t know who it belonged to, they say so. It’s interesting to see that in the last two years of the War the Germans still made use of obsolete equipment, albeit usually in the support role, but the amount of PzKpfw II types used for armoured transport captured by the Allies is remarkable. A Luftwaffe unit was using a WW1 Renault FT17 as a tractor as PzKpfw 17/18 R 730(f). That captured Firefly mentioned earlier is interesting – it carried only the name ‘Adventure’ and had an ‘A’ Squadron triangle on its rear hull, in addition to German crosses, and must have surprised its Canadian re-captors when they discovered its 17 pdr gun had the muzzle brake from a German 7.5cm gun fitted. Some of the ‘wreck’s are really just that – from Panthers disabled by PIATs fired by infantrymen to penetrations from Allied tank and anti-tank guns. Not much has been published on the Allied use of the PIAT (Projector Infantry Anti Tank) to attack German armour, but then the PIAT was generally supposed to be a much despised weapon by its user for a variety of reasons. However, herein it’s power is evident where in the trained hands of some Commonwealth soldiers its shaped charged bombs penetrated the bigger German tanks with disastrous results. Other photos illustrate just how easily an armoured vehicle such as an Elefant or Jagdtiger could be disabled by a hit in the sprocket/drive unit rendering them helpless and to abandoned and often destroyed by their escaping crews so they didn’t fall into Allied hands.

208. PANZERWRECKS 2: GERMAN ARMOUR 1944 - 1945
Lee Archer, S,O,

Another excellent collection of photos that offer excellent diorama potential as well as conveying the intensity of wartime actions with the size of the photos allowing good details to be shown not only of the vehicle but of the cam schemes including the extensive use of foliage due the Allies air superiority late in the war. The insightful and informative captions also add to the value of the photos and this series should prove an invaluable reference for the modeller. Included in this volume is Panzer Wrecks in Vienna, War Booty In Yugoslavia, Panzer Wrecks in Znojmo and Endkampfe Berlin. Among the disabled and destroyed vehicles features is the Hetzer, numerous Panthers, Panzer IV/70, Wirbelwind and Mödelwagen, Flakpanzer 38(t), Sd.Kfz.7/2, 15cm Panzerwerfer 42, Marder II, Wespe, RSO, Sd.Kfz.250/251s including some shots of children playing inside a disabled 251/21 showing some interior details.

220. HOLD THE WESTWALL OR PERISH WITH IT: THE HISTORY OF PANZER-BRIGADE 105, SEPTEMBER 1944
Tim Haasler, C,

"Hold the Westwall" tells the story of an experiment that failed: The creation of separate armored 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. Making use of virtually every known primary source available concerning the brigade, as well as conducting extensive interviews of surviving members and reviewing all relevant secondary literature, author Timm Haasler has woven together a fascinating glimpse into the short life of this little-known element of the late-war Panzertruppe. The story is presented not only from the German side, but also from the viewpoint of the various US forces that were employed against the brigade. As a result, the reader comes away with a comprehensive understanding of the tactics employed by both sides in the US attempt to breach the Westwall better known as the "Siegfried Line" to most American readers in the Stolberg area of Germany in September 1944. In the end, although almost completely wiped out, the brigade was able to slow down and then ultimately stop the US advance in its area of operations, thus delaying a rapid penetration through the frontier defenses of German, which might have hastened the end of the war. 147 photographs, 22 maps and extensive charts and documentation.

339. TANK TURRET FORTIFICATIONS
Neil Short, C,O-

Tank Turret Fortifications traces the origins of the idea from the development of the first armoured turrets in the nineteenth century through to the present day. On the way it covers the inter-war period when the first turrets were used in this way, the Second World War, when tank turrets were used on every front in the European Theatre of Operations, and the post-war period, when tank turrets were used even more widely. The book also details the decline of the idea as countries reassessed the threats they faced and slowly dismantled all their fixed fortifications. Widely used during World War Two and since, tank turret fortifications deserve a history, and Neil Short has spent several years writing this, the first proper study. 200 black & white photographs and diagrams.

343. HITLERS SUPPRESSED AND STILL-SECRET WEAPONS, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Henry Stevens, S,

Now we know what spooked the Allies in the closing months of the war and why they were in such a panic to win quickly. The Allies assembled intelligence reports of supermetals, electric guns, and ray weapons able to stop the engines of Allied aircraft in addition to their worst fears of x-ray and laser weaponry. Then there were the bombs. Contained in this book are reports of structured bombs of nipolit, N-stoff bombs, cold bombs, oxygen bombs which destroyed all life, atomic bombs and rumors of the mysterious molecular bomb. The true history of the fuel-air bomb is revealed by our own military. There is even a probability that the SS black alchemists of the 3rd Reich were experimenting with red mercury bomb technology. This book documents very large mystery rockets under development in Germany, far beyond the V-2. Technological history is also examined. Guess who invented the computer, magnetic tape and computer programs? How about refining crude oil using sound waves or producing gasoline for 11 cents per gallon or the synthetic penicillin substitute, "3065"? Very exotic technologies are also discussed including German experiments in time, sustained fusion reactions, zero point energy and travel in deep space. Chapters include: The Kammler Group; German Flying Disc Update (Witness to a German Flying Disc); The Electromagnetic Vampire; Liquid Air; Synthetic Blood; German Free Energy Research; German Atomic Tests; "Project Hexenkessel" The Fuel-Air Bomb; Supermetals; Red Mercury; Means To Stop Engines; Magnetic Wave-Motorstoppmittel; "Death Rays"; Distillation of Crude Oil Using Sound Waves; What is Happening in Antarctica?; Large German Mystery Rockets; Experiments in Time; tons more.

Blaine Taylor, C,O,

APEX OF GLORY details the history of the Daimler-Benz Car Company from its humble beginnings, through the period of Imperial Germany, into the Weimar period, and its phenomenal growth during the Third Reich. Research by Taylor shows how the company became uneasy about Germany’s possibility of winning the war. As early as 1942, they secretly developed a strategy, which would allow the company continued growth in the immediate post war years. Surviving Germany’s defeat in 1945, Daimler-Benz had reached the Apex of Glory just a decade later in 1955. 450 photographs, the majority previously unpublished.

346. GERMAN PANZER MARKINGS FROM WARTIME PHOTOGRAPHS
Ian Baxter, C,O,

It was obviously very important that the armoured vehicles of the Wehrmacht in World War Two be well camouflaged, but it was also important that they be recognisable and to this end a complicated array of marking was devised over the course of the war. This book focuses on those markings, which identified vehicles as friendly to other axis forces and which marked out vehicles as belonging to a particular force or unit, and illustrates them with rare and unpublished wartime photographs. The book is arranged vehicle-by-vehicle and each photograph is accompanied by a detailed caption. It also includes a colour section, featuring side views of a selection of vehicles, and a number of wartime photographs expertly coloured to show how the tanks in question really appeared in the field. 20 colour and 200 black & white photographs

348. ARMS OF THE SPANISH REPUBLIC: A NATIONALIST OVERVIEW, 1938
Jose Manrique Garcia, S,O-

The great "Captured Enemy Material Exhibition" that opened at the Hotel Kursaal In San Sebastian in 1938 was the subject of several catalogs and commemorative brochures, all of them printed in short runs. Being as they are an unsurpassable array of part of the material in service in the Republican Ejercito Popular, as well as a first-class historical testimony of the aid sent to that side, this book is a task to recover that historical event and bring back from oblivion many of the pictures taken at the time, which have remained so far unpublished. Unfortunately, this excellent arms array gathered at the Gran Kursaal was doon disbanded and the collection was handed over dimembered to different Depots and Arsenals, some of them going to the Army museum. Only a small part has survived to this day, preserved at different specific military museums. This excellent book by AF Editions also fantastic color plates showing the arms in their original colors, but the period photos, mostly of excellent qaulity make this book an excellent edition to any military library.

353.GERMAN SECRET WEAPONS OF WORLD WAR II
no author stated, S

Here is a remarkable look at exotic tanks, aircraft, rockets, U-boats and more, all based on actual German blueprints of World War II. Though many German secret weapons developed toward the end of WW II never made it further than the drawing board, some did indeed advance to the prototype and testing stages. Some—such as the half-track motorcycle, one-man torpedo, and rocket-propelled tanks—came to play an effective role in the field of battle. Had the world’s first turbo fighter, the Messerschmitt ME.262, been introduced earlier in the war, many experts believe it may very well have ensured air supremacy for the Third Reich. Such secret weapons—and many more—are described herein, each with its own illustration based on secret German blueprints. Covering the bizarre and impractical to the undeniably lethal and effective, German Secret Weapons also contains designs that have been the inspiration for present-day rockets and missiles.

354. WORLD WAR TWO MILITARY VEHICLES TRANSPORT & HALFTRACKS
Pat Ware, C,O,

Although tanks and armored cars were perhaps the most potent elements of land armies in the period after World War 1, they represented but a fraction of the military vehicles used by combatants. Whilst armored vehicles and tanks were at the undoubted cutting edge of the German Blitzkrieg offensives in 1939 and 1940, and subsequent campaigns, without vast numbers of ancillary vehicles to move stores, munitions and the infantrymen, who fought beside the armored forces and secured the ground the tanks won, the armored forces would have been hugely exposed to counter-attack or ground to a halt through lack of supplies. It is a truism of war that an army marches on its stomach and the vital role of lorries and other forms of transport cannot be overstated in terms of warfare. In North Africa, for example the stretched and highly exposed supply lines of the Afrika Korps represented a weakness that the British were able to exploit during and after the crucial battle of El-Alamein. Although, increasingly, as World War 2 progressed, military transport, particularly on the Allied side was almost exclusively motor-powered, it is easy to forget that earlier in the war, horse-drawn vehicles were still common. In World War Two Military Vehicles Pat Ware provides a comprehensive illustrated account of the development of military transport during the period from 1939 to 1945. Covering both Allied and Axis equipment, the book is a superbly illustrated and detailed study into an aspect of military history that has often been ignored by researchers and writers who have concentrated solely on the armored vehicles which led the attack. Incorporating some 220 images, both color and monochrome, including specially prepared artworks, the book is an essential work of reference for all military historians of World War 2. color & b/w photos throughout

Marek Kruk, S,

8 pages on color, over 140 photos. English text only. The book covers the first two years of existence and combat activities of the German 11th Panzer Division (Pz.Div.11.) during its finest period - in 1941, when fought at Balkans and in Russia. From the moment of its creation, it was a famous division, fame that grew from combat. It was one of the few divisions to have its own nickname – Gespenter Division (The Ghost Division) and to have its own unofficial emblem – the Ghost – painted on its vehicles alongside the official OKW approved emblem of a yellow, vertically bisected circle.

378. PANZERSCHLACHT: AMOURED OPERATIONS ON THE HUNGARIAN PLAINS SEPTEMBER - NOVEMBER 1944
Perry Moore, C,O,

'Panzerschlacht' covers in detail the unraveling of the southern sector of the Eastern Front during late summer and autumn 1944, which led to some of the largest and most vicious, yet unknown, tank battles of the Second World War. Slammed by continuous Russian attacks that ripped the Romanian Front to pieces and by late August had caused Romania to defect to the Soviets, Germans forces were left threadbare. Only Hungary narrowly failed to defect to the USSR, and was coerced into remaining Germany's ally. Despite a gross imbalance in numbers, the German Army, and more notably, their Panzer divisions (some with only 30 AFVs) delayed, disrupted and destroyed much larger Russian units with successful counter-attacks. As the Russians blitzed through Romania and neared Hungary in late August 1944, it was the Hungarian Army that stymied the Red horde. The Hungarian units pulled themselves together and in September conducted two very important and overlooked counterattacks: Arad and Torda. The Arad counterattack sent the defending Romanians reeling, forcing them to give up the city of Arad and beyond as the Hungarian 1st Armoured Division faced little opposition. At Torda, the Hungarian 2nd Armoured Division also made significant gains towards the mountain passes until the arrival of Russian armor. The book covers these in detail with maps so often missing in other accounts. Both battles temporarily put the 'brake' on the Russian blitzkrieg. From mid-September until November, the focus of the Russians now became the Hungarian Plains - a flat area ideally suited to the massive and chaotic tank battles that occurred throughout October. The Russian operations around Debrecen envisioned the 6th Guards Tank Army and others cutting out the seemingly meager German and Hungarian forces across the line northwards to Debrecen and Nyiraghaza. Their plan, if successful, would encircle the whole German 8th Army still holding on east in the mountains. It was aimed to deal a crippling blow. However, the German commanders saw the writing on the wall and began to withdraw their 8th Army. As the Russians ground northwards, the German 6th and 8th Armies fought tooth and nail during their withdrawal. It was no easy victory for either side. Panzerschlacht covers all of these operations in detail. Using excellent color maps and detailed orders of battles showing unit strengths, the reader can follow this David versus Goliath event as it unfolded. A large number of rare archival photographs, many previously unpublished, complement the text. Full-color artwork provides detailed information about the camouflage and markings carried by the vehicles involved in the fighting, including the rarely-seen Hungarian AFVs. A variety of German, Hungarian, Russian and Romanian sources were used by the author. Overall, this is an excellent account of a hitherto-unknown series of major tank battles fought on the Eastern Front in the autumn of 1944. 8 pages color profiles, 120 color & b/w photos, and many b/w maps

382. HERMANN GORING PANZER DIVISION IN SICILY (Campaign Series)
Claude Gillono, S,O

The book begins with three pages which give the order of battle of HG PD prior to the Allied landings on 10th of july 1943. This also mentions the Italian units which were present but are only mentioned in passing. However, the book is about the German forces and with a couple of tables, covers in this brief introduction AFV strength, Incurred losses and a page detailing the composition of the Hermann Göring PD. The majority of the book covers (German-sourced) images of the Division in Sicily. Many of these photos were taken by personnel of an attached Propaganda Company - others are archive images from the Imperial War Museum's collection. The photos are used correctly - two (occasionally 1) image per page which allows a good sized photo along with details of the vehicle, background or the troops in the image. Each photo is captioned in some detail listing unit, date (when available) and location (when known). There are a total of 49 black and white photos in the book. The diversity of the vehicles used by HG also seems to be well-reflected. Although there are a lot of images of StuG's, there are also lesser-photographed subjects such as the Bison SPG on the 38 (t) chassis, some Beute-Panzers such as captured Marmon-Herrington Armored Cars or a captured Sherman III.. There aren't that many images of the 17 Tiger I's which were on strength at the beginning - those of the famous (and much-modeled) 2/schwere Panzer Abteilung 504, those which are there, are British images of a captured example. Another bonus, due to the nature of the division, are the many images of German Paras. In the center of the book are the color plates which were done by Dennis Oliver. These are superbly done and cover PZ III's (Ausf. M), IV's (Ausf. G) StuH 42, StuG II (Ausf F), with the final of these four pages dedicated to the Tiger I's. Although the color plates only take up 4 pages, the attention to detail is excellent - all relevant company markings are given separate coverage along with placement details of markings. A detailed graphical explanation of Unit Insignia is included on the inside back cover.

389. WARTIME WOODBURNERS: GAS PRODUCER VEHICLES IN WWII AN OVERVIEW
John Ryan, C,O,

In this age of high fuel prices and concern with continuing availability of oil, scientists are working on a number of approaches to alternate fuel sources. These concerns may provoke interest in how some people in gas-starved Europe dealt with such problems throughout the war years, 1939-1945. One of the most successful innovations, were the so-called “gas producer” vehicles that utilized the by-products of solid fuel combustion, employing such solids as coal, charcoal, turf, and wood to produce fuel gas for a standard internal combustion engine. This book provides an overview of such vehicles, including those used by the Wehrmacht. Schematics of operating systems and the regulations concerning their use are also included, along with a translated German illustrated operators manual. over 120 bw images

392. TANKS IN THE WINTER WAR 1939 - 1940: Operations: Scandinavia 1939
Maxim Komolyets, C,O

Tanks in the Winter War is a unique book. Certainly there have been shelves of books written about the Winter War, but none have described the Soviet units and their efforts, and none have described the tanks used in the conflict. This book is based upon Russian sources and therefore stands out remarkably from other books on the market about the Finnish Winter War. You are given a concise account of the Soviet units, their equipment and the commanders and operations. You also get an account of the Finnish defense, the fortifications, the obstacles, the mines and the armours etc. Furthermore; the only tank battle of the Winter War, the battle of Honkaniemi, is described in detail. The ‘Tanks in the Winter War’ is a must for all who are interested in what happened in Finland during World War II and is destined to become a collectors item! 32 color profiles & 130 b/w illustrations

404. STURMGESCHÜTZ: DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION, DEPLOYMENT
Peter Müller and Wolfgang Zimmerman

The Sturmgeschütz III, or Assault Gun Model III, was a fully tracked armoured vehicle originally designed to provide the infantry of the Wehrmacht with direct fire support. In addition to admirably fulfilling that role, it also served for the better part of World War II as a self-propelled antitank weapon, a role for which it was never intended. As the war dragged on, it performed this important function with increasing regularity throughout all of the Wehrmacht's theatres of operation; from Norway to North Africa; from France to the Soviet Union; across Italy and the Balkans; and finally, within Germany itself. This publication documents the developmental history, mass production, deployment and combat operations of Germany's Sturmgeschütz III during World War II. In order to provide a better appreciation of the historical significance of the Sturmgeschütz III, this study first examines its technical design and development, production, modification and the fielding of the different versions, ranging from models A through G, as well as a survey of Sturmgeschütz III production assembly plants at Daimler-Benz, Alkett, and MIAG, where more than 10,500 of these vehicles were produced between 1940 until the end of the war in Europe. Other chapters cover the Sturmgeschütz III's operational history, including its combat debut and remarkable success as an antitank weapon. As the reader will discover, the German General Staff's and upper echelons of the Wehrmacht's growing appreciation of this remarkable weapons system ultimately led to an overestimation of its capabilities, contributing to Germany's defeat as both Sturmgeschütz III crewman and vehicles themselves were over-committed to the point of collapse.In this study, the authors have drawn almost exclusively on primary source material rather than the existing body of secondary literature, tapping into a vast reservoir of original files, reports and operational records. In all, some 400 different sources were used during the production of this reference work and are listed in the bibliography. The authors have verifed production figures by cross-referencing and recomputing dozens of original source documents, resulting in the most up-to-date and comprehensive information about the Sturmgeschütz III's to appear in print. To round out this volume, it includes 125 historical photographs, many of them reproduced for the first time, as well as seventy charts and that tables that verify the authors' conclusions. 125 wartime photos, 70 charts and tables.

405. STURMGESCHUTZ III: VARIANTS, MODIFICATIONS, TECHNICAL DRAWINGS VOLUME 2
Peter Muller, C,O, inludes a very large foldout sheet for technical information on the visual characteristics

Volume 2 of Sturmgeschütz III provides a selection of images that illustrate in striking and unique detail the evolution and operational employment of this potent weapons system. Reliable documentary evidence, such as the date the image was made, location and unit of assignment is provided for many of these photographs, allowing the reader to precisely identify specific variants of the Sturmgeschütz III. The quality of research displayed throughout this volume makes it an ideal reference work for vehicle restoration, for historically accurate modelling or for diorama building. The superb photographs in this volume also illustrate a tremendous amount of technical information for historians most interested in tracing the continuous development of one of the most significant armoured vehicles to see action during World War II. Within this volume, the photographic evidence is used to accurately present 90 specific identifying characteristics of the Sturmgeschütz III and how each of the weapon system’s unique features arose during design and development. Accompanying timelines illustrate when different versions of the Sturmgeschütz III were manufactured, using documentary evidence such as the original records that list chassis serial numbers assigned for each assembly plant as well as other primary source information. It also includes a supplemental chart that provides a quick and handy reference to the various versions of the Sturmgeschütz III that saw service. Volume 2 also systematically covers unusual configurations of the Sturmgeschütz III, including field modifications, backed up by tabulations for easy reference. Superb four-level cutaway technical drawings illustrate the characteristics of each of the wartime production runs of the Sturmgeschütz III at precisely defined points in time. High-quality photos compliment each of the drawings. This volume also accurately documents for the very first time the evolution of the appearance of the Sturmgeschütz III from 1940 to 1945 on a month-by-month basis, enabling the historian or modeller to interpret other Sturmgeschütz III photographs and place them in their proper historical timeframe and operational context. 550 wartime photographs, many published for the first time and 100 technical line drawings, most in 1:35th scale.

Stephan Cazenave, C,O,French text.

The Tiger tank was the greatest tank of World War II. Officially designated the Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausfuhrung H, it was nicknamed the Tiger by Ferdinand Porsche. Brought into use in late 1942, the Tiger tank represented a new approach to tank design in that it maximised armour protection and firepower at the expense of mobility. This is the first publication dedicated solely to the Tiger tanks of the Schwere Panzer Kompanie (Heavy Armor Company) of the SS-Panzerregiment 2 "DR" from 1943 to 1945. In 1944, the company became part of the II SS Panzercorps, die schere SS-Panzer-Abteillung 102, and this book continues to examine their history through to the end of the war. Containing 15 years of research, along with eyewitness accounts, photographs from veterans, and organization charts, this book is an exceptional addition to any German armor enthusiast's collection.

407. TANKS IN RUSSIA: THE GERMAN ARMORED UNITS IN THE RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN 1941 - 1944
Horst Scheibert, C, O- bilingual English/German text

The reader experiences the advance of the Panzer divisions to Leningrad, the moment when the city was close enough to touch from the tank's tips. He experienced the huge, full encirclement battles of Army Group Center and South, the thunderous, dust-offensives of the summer of 1941 in the south, the bold forays without edge protection up into the steppes, where the attack petered out. More than 400 exciting, poignant photographs of all parts of the front are complemented by a wealth of information on the names of the battlefields, which involved tank and armored infantry divisions, the images and descriptions of many leading generals and officers, some legendary armor and weapon types with numerous technical descriptions such as strength of the armor, cruise speed, caliber of the guns, fire, speed, etc.

409. GERMAN 88: THE MOST FAMOUS GUN OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR
Terry Gander, C

The German 88 mm guns became the most famous and feared artillery pieces of the Second World War. They appeared in a whole series of forms ranging from anti-aircraft to anti-tank and tank-guns, including several self-propelled platforms. Although primarily anti-aircraft guns they gained an awesome reputation as anti-tank weapons, a reputation that remains to this day. Terry Gander, in this in-depth, highly illustrated study, tells the story of the 88 from its first manifestations during the Great War to its clandestine development in Sweden, its production in Germany, its first 'multi-role' initiation during the Spanish Civil War and its part in the campaigns of 1939-40. As well as a detailed technical description of the gun and its development, his book features vivid accounts of the 88 in action in many of the main theaters of the Second World War, in North Africa, Italy, France and Germany, and on the Eastern Front. 100 b/w illustrations,

410. HITLER'S MIRACLE WEAPONS FROM THE AMERICA ROCKET TO AN ORBITAL STAITION VOLUME 3: GERMANY'S EFFORTS TO DEVELOP INTERCONTINENTAL WEAOPNS AND THE FIRST SPACE PROGRAMME
Friedrich Georg, C,O,

The third volume in this now-established series expand its coverage to examine Nazi Germany's efforts to develop intercontinental weapons and nothing short of a space program. The author begins by examining whether the V2 rocket was the final development produced by Hitler. He then proceeds to examine, in great detail, Germany's efforts to develop what was called the 'America Rocket', an intercontinental weapon. Much evidence is produced to suggest that planning and preparation were underway for an attempted intercontinental rocket launch against New York at war's end. A final section of the book examines further German rocketry projects that were on the drawing board by the end of the war, including sophisticated orbital craft. The text is supported by a selection of photographs and diagrams, as well as 16 superb pages of color artwork, including profiles, computer-generated images of drawing board designs, and pictures of the author's own models. All fine and dandy but if you ask me, once again Helion publishers overpriced their book. 16 pages color plates, 75 color & b/w photos, diagrams, docs, this book has 109 numbered pages, not the 144 announced by the publishers, they lowered the page count, kept the price high.

411. HITLER'S PANZER ARMIES ON THE EASTERN FRONT
Robert Kirchubel, C

Hitler's panzer armies spearheaded the blitzkrieg on the Eastern Front. They played a key role in every major campaign, not simply as tactical tools but also as operational weapons that shaped strategy. Their extraordinary triumphs and their eventual defeat mirrors the fate of German forces in the East. And yet no previous study has concentrated on the history of these elite formations in the bitter struggle against the Soviet Union. Robert Kirchubel's absorbing and meticulously researched account of the operational history of the panzer armies fills this gap in the literature. And it gives a graphic insight into the organization, tactics, fighting methods and morale of the Wehrmacht at the height of its powers and as it struggled to defend the Reich. Using German sources, including many first-hand accounts seen for the first time in English, the author reconstructs the operations of the panzer armies from the launch of Operation Barbarossa in 1941 to the German collapse in May 1945. He follows each army and its men through the series of massive offensives and counteroffensives that swung across a vast front that stretched from the Baltic in the north to the Caucasus in the south. Their far-reaching campaigns included the ill-fated assault on Moscow, anti-partisan operations in the Balkans and the defense of Germany¹s Fatherland. His study is a valuable addition to the history of the Nazi-Soviet conflict and to understanding the part played by armored formations in the world war as a whole. It is absorbing reading.

417. HITLER'S SECRET WEAPONS 1933 - 1945: THE ESSENTIAL FACTS AND FIGURES FOR GERMANY'S SECRET WEAPON'S PROGRAM
David Porter, C

The German Third Reich had the most technologically advanced and innovative weapons industries in World War II, with aircraft, tanks and bombs that could match and beat anything else in the World. What is less known is the extent of Germany’s secret weapons development. Germany pioneered rocket and jet-propelled aircraft, the pilotless plane, long-range rocket technology and ‘robot bombs’, and the world’s first super-heavy tanks. Many of these weapons had a real impact on the course of the war. Following the invasion of the Soviet Union and the realization that the war could continue for years, Hitler put great resources into the development of new and technologically advanced weaponry, in the belief that the production of ‘wonder weapons’ were the key to winning the war. 'World War II Data Book: Germany’s Secret Weapons, 1939–45' gets behind this little-know aspect of the Nazi war machine to reveal the real extent of German secret weapons’ development. Broken down by weapon types, the book includes exhaustive reference tables, diagrams, colorful maps and charts, presenting all the core data in easy-to-follow formats. 'World War II Data Book: Germany’s Secret Weapons, 1939–45' is an essential reference guide for anyone interested in the history and make-up of Germany’s secret weapons industry. 150 color, b/w illustrations, photographs, & maps,

421. AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN ARTILLERY FROM 1867 TO 1918
Dr. M. Christian Ortner, C,O,

Over the period from 1867 to 1918 the Austro-Hungarian artillery experienced major changes both in technical and organizational terms. Proceeding from the muzzle-loader of the ‘Battery of the Dead’ at the Battle of Sadowa in 1866, the artillery was continuously modernized and evolved from the M 1875, M 1880 and M 1899 systems to barrel recoil artillery and finally the massed guns of the First World War. A total of 637 pages and more than 1,200 photographs, design sketches and illustrations, sometimes published for the first time, demonstrate not only the appearance and design principles of the more than a hundred artillery models introduced over this period, but also numerous prototypes and contemporary foreign artillery systems. Tables and organizational charts describe the structures and organization of the artillery at different times and plans and descriptions explain firing methods and artillery tactics in detail. Colour illustrations of the types of Austrian ammunition employed in the First World War round off the picture. The author of the book, Dr. M. Christian Ortner, is the Director of the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum in Vienna, 1,200 photographs and illustrations.
