The Arado 234 Blitz (Lightning)
twin and four engined jet bomber and reconnaissance aircraft was
produced in comparatively small numbers. Less than 300 were built
but its advanced design and superb handling qualities made it a
highly respected aircraft. It performed well as a bomber but its
greatest contribution to the German war effort was its ability to
fly higher and faster than opposing Allied fighters whilst taking
valuable reconnaissance photographs. Here, for the first time, is
the definitive history of this remarkable warplane.

HITLER'S PRE-EMPTIVE WAR: THE BATTLE FOR NORWAY,
1940
by Henrik O. Lunde
After Hitler conquered Poland the British began to exert control
of the coastline of neutral Norway, an action that threatened to
cut off Germany’s iron-ore conduit to Sweden.
The Germans quickly responded with a dizzying series of assaults.
Airlifted infantry, mountain troops and paratroopers seized
Norwegian strong points, forestalling larger Allied units. The
German navy also set sail ensuring that key harbours could be held.
The air, airborne, naval, amphibious, infantry, armoured and
commando aspects of this brief but violent campaign are covered in
meticulous detail.

HE WAS MY CHIEF: THE MEMOIRS OF ADOLF HITLER'S
SECRETARY
by Christa Schroeder
Christa Schroeder
was perfectly placed to observe the actions and behaviour of
Hitler, along with the most important figures surrounding him and
her memoir does not fail to deliver fascinating insights. She
notes Hitler's bourgeois manners, his vehement abstemiousness and
his mood swings, and reflects candidly on political and military
developments from the earliest days of the regime through its
final collapse. This is, without doubt, one of the most important
primary sources from the wartime period.
