THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE: HITLER'S FINAL GAMBLE

by Patrick Delaforce 

In December 1944 the Allies were poised to smash the Siegfried Line and break into Germany. Arnhem aside, there had been a long run of victories and there was no intelligence to suggest a German counter-offensive, so the major attack through the mountainous Ardennes by massed Panzers and infantry took the Allies totally by surprise. Fog and low cloud negated the Allies' air supremacy, English-speaking German commandos in captured jeeps created panic and withdrawal of U.S. forces became a near rout. For ten days the situation worsened, Antwerp was seriously threatened and 21st Army Group in danger of being cut off. Clear skies for Allied air power and counter-attacks by rapidly deployed reinforcements turned the tide in the nick of time. All this is graphically narrated in this fine study of a pivotal battle, that so nearly changed the course of war.

ONSLAUGHT ON HITLER'S RHINE: OPERATIONS
                                                         PLUNDER AND VARSITY, MARCH 1945

by Patrick Delaforce

Operation Plunder was Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery’s swan song. Monty was by nature a cautious commander with dwindling manpower resources. Operation Market Garden had not succeeded in achieving a major lodgement over the Rhine, and Hitler regarded the river as the final barrier. His storm-troopers and paratroops had fought like demons in February/March 1945 defending the Siegfried Line and presumably they would continue to defend their country to the bitter end. So, Monty ensured by very careful planning, including a huge airborne drop in Operation Varsity, that the great onslaught would be quick, ruthless and highly successful.

THE FOURTH REICH AND OPERATION ECLIPSE

by Patrick Delaforce

In this volume Patrick Delaforce examines the final weeks of World War II. After the Yalta Conference the question was how to prevent Hitler from implementing a scorched earth policy across the Reich. As the Russians clawed their way across Europe, Operation Eclipse prevented them from occupying Denmark and secured the Kiel naval base. The author examines events immediately after the surrender and Hitler's suicide, and the creation of the short-lived fourth reich under the leadership of Admiral Donitz. He also covers the liberations of Holland and Norway plus the freeing of prisoners of war. The book ends with the war crimes trials and the beginnings of the Cold War.

MONTY'S MARAUDERS: THE 4TH & 8TH
                                ARMOURED BRIGADES IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR

by Patrick Delaforce

When Montgomery was given Allied command of the D Day landings he wasted no time gathering around him individuals and formations he could trust. Foremost among the latter were two armoured brigades: the 4th (Black Desert Rats) and 8th (Red Fox's Mask). Both these units had unrivalled records having proved themselves in bitter fighting against Rommel's Afrika Korps and the Italians. Once ashore in Normandy the two superb brigades went on to enhance their reputations on the journey to the heart of Hitler's Third Reich and final victory.
