Festung
Guernsey`s popular publication detailing the extent of the
German tunnels constructed in Guernsey, Alderney and Sark
during the occupation. The Channel Islands were the only
British territory to be occupied by Nazi Germany during the
Second World War. What locals refer to as "The Occupation" lasted from June 1940 until the 9th of May 1945. It was a
unique experience that has brought the islands more than
their fair share of attention from historians and novelists.
Solid reminders of the Occupation remain in the form of
extensive fortifications constructed to make the islands
impregnable.

Winston Churchill was one of the
20th century's most charismatic and controversial figures.
He escaped from a POW camp in the Boer War, was a Nobel
Prize-winning author and twice prime minister of The United
Kingdom. He is best remembered as the astute and powerful
orator who inspired a battered Britain to victory in World
War II, and led the post-war nation to recovery. Richard
Langworth, co-chairman and editor of The Churchill Centre,
spent over 20 years researching Churchill's words to produce
this thematically arranged compendium.
TIGERS IN THE ARDENNES:
THE 501ST HEAVY
SS TANK BATTALION IN THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE
by Gregory A. Walden
U.S. Army officer and military
historian Gregory Walden provides the most detailed look at
the actions of a single German battalion in the Battle of
the Bulge to date. The book is the product of years of
archival research, conversations with German and American
veterans, and detailed examination of terrain in the
Ardennes. The author’s experience as a tank unit commander
provides unique insight into the tactical difficulties of
armor movements through the area, especially considering the
technical aspects of the Tiger II tanks. The book includes
over 100 images, many of them never before published, plus
detailed maps showing the routes used by the 501st during
the battle.
