by Ben Christensen

U-BOAT 977

by Heinz Schaeffer. Translated by Geoffrey Brooks

U-Boat 977 was the German submarine that escaped to Argentina at the end of World War Two. This epic journey started from Bergen in Norway, where in April 1945 it was temporarily based, and took three and a half months to complete. Because of the continuing Allied naval activity the commander decided to make the first part of the journey underwater. Before surfacing near the west coast of Africa U-977 had spent a remarkable sixty-six days submerged.In the final months of the war, and in common with most surviving U-boat commanders, Schaeffer and his crew came under constant attacks from Allied aircraft and surface ships.

CHURCHILL'S DESERT RATS IN NORTH-WEST EUROPE

by Patrick Delaforce

When Montgomery took command prior to D-Day he gathered around him commanders and formations he knew and trusted and, not surprisingly, 7th Armoured Division was one of these. The author, who fought alongside the Desert Rats, describes the Division's battles from the beaches, the breakout battles (Goodwood and Bluecoat) and the liberation of Northern France and Belgium. After taking Ghent there were the long months fighting in the Netherlands before Operation Blackcock, the Rhine Crossing and the final advance into Germany, the capture of Hamburg and the Allies' triumphant entry into Berlin.

This copy is signed by the author.

HITLER'S HENCHMEN

by Henk van Capelle & Peter van de Bovenhamp 



Created, ordered and led by Adolf Hitler, the state apparatus of Nazi Germany rigorously controlled all aspects of life in the Third Reich. To maintain his iron grip on the German people Hitler surrounded himself with a small clique of fanatical acolytes. This is an extensively illustrated study of Alfred Rosenberg, Albert Speer, Heinrich Himmler, Josef Goebbels, Martin Bormann, Hermann Goering, Baldur von Shirach, Joachim von Ribbentrop and Rudolf Hess. The book also includes a profile of Hitler's mistress (and later wife), Eva Braun.
