This fifth volume continues the author's
in-depth research of Third Reich headgear. Thousands of
foreigners served in the wartime transportation formations of
“Speer” and “Todt”. Initially starting as “NSKK-Transportbrigade
Speer” and “Todt”, they were combined to become
“NSKK-Transportgruppe Todt”, later becoming “Transportkorps
Speer”. Volume 2 covered the “Deutscher Luftsport-Verband” and
this volume deals with its sucessor, the NSFK. Also detailed are
the early labor organizations known as the “Freiwilliger
Arbeitsdienst” which would evolve into the “Reichsarbeits-dienst.”
Extensively illustrated in colour and black and white, this is a
must for collectors and historians.

More than 70 years ago the 2nd Australian Imperial Force arrived
in the Middle East to begin their extraordinary adventures in
battles against the German and Italian armies in North Africa,
mainland Greece and Crete. ANZAC FURY tells the riveting story of
how the legendary Anzac Corps was reformed in the heat of battle
during World War II to fight a powerful and merciless foe.
Dramatically combining personal memories with combat action, it
describes the experiences of young Australians and New Zealanders
who were sent on Churchill’s orders from the victorious battlefields
of Libya on a disastrous mission to Greece and Crete.

This volume is subtitled 'The Proving Ground for Blitzkrieg'.
The tanks used during the Spanish Civil War are not often
examined in any great detail, and are often labeled as little
more than test vehicles in a convenient proving ground before
World War II. Now, with ground breaking research, armor expert
Steven J. Zaloga has taken a fresh look at these, examining how
future armour and tactics were shaped and honed by the crews’
experiences, and how Germany was able to benefit from these
lessons, whilst their Soviet opponents were not.

We are accustomed to think of the late Republic as a period in
which Rome enjoyed uninterrupted military success. Yet at the
start of the first century BC, Rome faced a hostile army less
than a week's march from the Capitol. Three Roman consuls died
in battle, and two Roman armies were soundly defeated in the
heartland of Italy. Rome's erstwhile Italian allies had the
arms, training and military systems of the Roman army which they
usually fought alongside, so Rome's usual military advantages
were nullified. This brought the war between them and the
Republic down to a clash of generals.
