This volume follows one of Nazi
Germany's most famous and feared units, 3-SS Panzer
Division, known as Totenkopf or the Deaths Head. Initially
formed from a cadre of concentration camp guards, the
division saw combat service in the campaign for France in
1940 and the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. The book
focuses on the 9th Company of the 3rd Panzer Regiment, the
only unit in the division to be equipped with Tiger tanks.
The company used their Tigers to devastating effect starting
with the Battle of Kursk.

U-604 was a standard Type VIIC
U-Boat of which over 600 were built. Her six war patrols
might seem typical - but they were far from ordinary. This
book is a detailed account of her actions during some of the
fiercest convoy battles of the Atlantic war. U-604's
successes included inflicting the largest single loss of US
mercantile personnel in one attack, however, the drama of
her career pales alongside the epic story of her loss. Based
on interviews with survivors and illustrated with previously
unpublished photos, this is simply an extraordinary story.
