THE SS PANZER ARTILLERY REGIMENT 1 Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler (LAH) 1940-1945
Book Type: C, O By Thomas Fisher. The artillery batteries of the LAH during the whole of World War II faced some of the hardest combat, and probably no other artillery unit was used as often at critical spots on all fronts. . During the battles on the Russian Front the regimentâs artillery equipment was constantly upgraded. One of the artillery batteries was equipped from 1943 with Wespe and Hummel self-propelled guns and later with Nebelwerfer rocket launchers that gave the regiment its tremendous firepower. Especially during the difficult defensive battles in the winter of 1943-1944 in the Ukraine, every artillery piece â whether a heavy field howitzer, or 15cm rocket launcher â was often used at such close range that it was fired with barrels in a horizontal position. The battery was later attached to the reconnaissance unit in the vanguard of the LAH and experienced the hardest battles while using âPanzermeyer tacticsâ that required rapid marches and lightning fast deployment into firing positions. Many of the photos have not been published before. Almost 300 photos 208 pp.
