ATLAS OF THE BLITZKRIEG

by Robert Kirchubel






In September 1939, Nazi Germany launched its infamous Blitzkrieg invasion of Poland, bringing about the outbreak of World War II. Faced with highly tactical and accelerated attacks aimed at disrupting lines of defence and encircling vulnerable troops, Allied forces broke under pressure. Within the space of a year, France had been invaded and occupied, while the forces of Great Britain had retreated headlong back across the Channel. Further campaigns in the air and at sea sought to subdue the British Isles, while more lightning-fast attacks in 1941 overran Yugoslavia and Greece, leaving the bulk of Continental Europe under Nazi control. Featuring 98 detailed maps, this impressive atlas shows, in intricate detail, the fighting and physical challenges faced by the German attackers and Allied defenders.

BAYERLEIN: FROM AFRIKAKORPS TO PANZER LEHR

by P. A. Spayd

A comprehensive biography of General-leutnant Fritz Bayerlein (1899-1970), commander of the elite Panzer Lehr Division during World War II and Erwin Rommel's former Chief-of-Staff. Covers his experiences with General Heinz Guderian in the invasions of Poland, France, and Russia, plus his service in North Africa, Hungary, Normandy and the Ruhr. During the Russian winter of 1943-1944, Bayerlein commanded the famous Berlin-Brandenburg 3rd Panzer Division. In his own words he shows his feelings and frustrations on fighting a war of useless bloodshed. Bayerlein's personal friend, Manfred Rommel, provides remarkable insight into the man's nature. Many previously unpublished photographs plus twenty maps drawn by Bayerlein make this book invaluable to military historians.

THE 27TH WAFFEN SS VOLUNTEER
                                                 GRENADIER DIVISION LANGEMARCK

by Massimiliano Afiero

 

The Flemish volunteer combat formation, "Langemarck", was employed chiefly on the Eastern Front, first in the Ukraine in early 1944, then in Estonia along the Tannenberg Line in the summer of 1944. Together with other European Waffen-SS volunteers, it was subordinate to III. SS - Pz. Korps. Transformed into a division, "Langemarck" participated in the final fighting on the Pomeranian and Oder fronts. Most of the Flemish volunteers were able to surrender to the Anglo-American forces, thus escaping capture by the Russians. This work fills a gap in Waffen-SS history with appendices on the unit’s operational history, its members, uniforms and insignia.

                                           THE PATROLS OF U-203 IN WORLD WAR II

by Luc Braeuer 

German naval officer Rolf Mutzelburg was one of the outstanding figures of the German U-boat arm.

He received the highest decorations of the period and became one of the top U-boat aces, becoming one of Admiral Donitz's "Four Aces." A photo album from a crew member, complemented by images sourced at the U-Boat Archive at Cuxhaven, illustrates the astonishing history of U-203 with 240 photographs and documents. Its eleven combat missions are illustrated by numerous maps and sketches plus the complete translation of its logbook.
