The third of the five-volume series by
Knights Cross recipient, Otto Weidinger on one of the most famous

motorised rifle division into an SS-Panzergenadier Division. The
book follows the division to the gates of Moscow, the brutal
winter battles and it's withdrawal to Germany and France for
refitting - then the rush back to the Eastern Front for the
desperate battle for Kharkov. A splendid divisional history with
an abundance of first-hand accounts.

SNIPER ON THE EASTERN FRONT: THE
MEMOIRS OF SEPP ALLERBERGER KNIGHTS CROSS
by Albrecht Wacker
Josef Sepp Allerberger, was an Austrian conscript who was drafted
to the Southern sector of the Eastern Front in July 1942. Wounded
at Voroshilovsk, he experimented with a captured Russian
sniper-rifle whilst convalescing, and returned to his unit as a
sniper specialist. As the German Army was forced to withdraw under
almost constant pressure from the Russians, Allerberger became one
of the very few private soldiers to be awarded the coveted Knights
Cross. This harrowing memoir provides a vivid insight to the
atrocious conditions and brutal cruelty of this campaign.
Ranging from 18th-century India to 21st-century Afghanistan,
this new, highly illustrated history of the Brigade of Gurkhas is
destined to become the definitive work on the subject. In this
account, the whole panorama of the Brigade’s unique story is
covered from the early 19th Century to the present day, including
the tense moments when the continued existence of the Brigade hung
by a thread. The book is lavishly illustrated with pictures,
photographs and maps, many never before seen in print. With a
foreword by the Colonel Commandant Brigade of Gurkhas, General Sir
David Richards, KCB CBE DSO ADC.
