GOOD FAITH: THE HISTORY OF THE
4.SS-POLIZEI-PANZER-GRENADIER-DIVISION, VOL. 2, 1943-1945
by Friedrich Husemann
This second volume on the 4.SS
Polizei-Division takes up their history at the beginning of
1943, and the story of 2 battalions that were sent to the
Don Front at the end of 1942. The author was a former member
of the division. The story takes us from the merciless
forests and swamps of northern Russia, to the
partisan-filled mountains of Greece, through Serbia and
Romania to Hungary, in desperate defensive battles in
Hungary, Poland and Germany, to the final hopeless battles
near Berlin and the bitter surrender on May 2 1945.

Nazi rule in Poland under the General
Government. After the German and Soviet attack on Poland in
1939, vast swathes of Polish territory, including Warsaw and
Krakow, fell under Nazi occupation in an administration
which became known as the 'General Government'. The region
was not directly incorporated into the Reich but was ruled
by a German regime, headed by the brutal Governor General,
Hans Frank. As the principal 'racial laboratory' of the
Third Reich, it was the site of Aktion Reinhard, the largest
killing operation of the Holocaust, and of a campaign of
terror and ethnic cleansing against Poles which was intended
to be a template for the rest of eastern Europe
The third invasion of Portugal,
1810-1811. Wellington's clash with Massena was one of the
most remarkable contests between two commanders in the
Peninsular War. Their campaign of manoeuvre, battle and
attrition across Spain and Portugal in 1810 and 1811 had a
decisive impact on the outcome of the war. Wellington's
reputation was enhanced, and Massena's was ruined. Using a
variety of sources, in particular eyewitness accounts from
both sides, the author reassesses the famous confrontations
at Ciudad Rodrigo, Almeida, Busaco, the lines of Torres
Vedras and the final battle at Fuentes de Onoro.
