BLOOD AND HONOR: THE HISTORY OF THE
                                  12TH SS PANZER DIVISION 'HITLER YOUTH', 1943-45

by Craig W. H. Luther

The 12th SS Panzer Division “Hitler Youth” was formed early in 1943 following the German disaster at Stalingrad, and was trumpeted by German propaganda as a symbol of the willingness of German youth to make the ultimate sacrifice. Most of the division’s soldiers were born in 1926, and averaged barely eighteen years of age when they underwent their baptism of fire among the fields and hedgerows of Normandy on 7 June 1944. Anchoring the eastern flank of the Normandy front, these young SS soldiers successfully defended the strategically vital town of Caen against British and Canadian forces until finally overwhelmed a month later by the Allies’ enormous superiority in men and materiel. Although the “Hitler Youth” Division was largely annihilated in the process, it won the grudging respect of Allied forces as the finest German division faced in Normandy.

BRITISH MILITARY TRUCKS OF WORLD WAR ONE

by Tim Gosling 

Types and Variants of Trucks in British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Flying Corps Service, 1914-18. At the start of the Great War in 1914, the British Army had just 80 trucks and 20 cars in service. These had been augmented by a further 59,490 motor trucks and 33,800 cars and ambulances by the end of the war. This policy of motorisation made the British Army the most mechanised of all the belligerent nations. This book covers British-purpose-built and impressed general service trucks from manufacturers ranging from AEC to Wolseley. It also shows non-British-built trucks, of which the majority were of American origin. Additional chapters cover workshop trucks, tankers, gun trucks, steam wagons, traction engines and tractors.

THE CIVIL SERVICE RIFLES IN THE GREAT WAR

by Jill Knight

Civil servants are not generally known for their soldierly qualities, yet in the Great War a volunteer regiment of 'civil servants and their friends' served with distinction in the front line, fighting in many of the major battles. This study, subtitled 'All Bloody Gentlemen', draws on previously unpublished material ­ personal memoirs, diaries and interviews ­ to tell their extraordinary story. It is supported by a wealth of marvellous photographs, together with appendices on Brigade Orders of Battle, Battle Honours and Awards, and Graves and Memorials.
