An account of the
long, hot Summer of 1940. Kent was at the centre of the storm as
Goering's mighty Luftwaffe was met by the steely tenacity of the
RAF's Hurricanes and Spitfires. The courage of the brave young
fighter pilots is well known. But supporting them on the ground
were countless ordinary men and women. They maintained the
airfields, they fought the fires, they restored essential
services, tended the wounded and cared for the homeless. This
book recalls the days of anxiously watching the vapour trails of
dogfights in blue skies above Kent's towns and villages.
PANZERS AND ALLIED ARMOUR IN
YUGOSLAVIA IN WORLD WAR TWO
by Bojan Dimitrijevic & Dragan Savic
This new book provides the first comprehensive account of
armoured vehicles and units deployed in the Yugoslav theatre during
the Second World War. Combat in Yugoslavia involved the German the Italian, Soviet and British
Armies as well as various local ethnic groups and partisans. These
various forces were equipped with a variety of armoured vehicles,
ranging from early German Panzers, German Beutepanzers captured in
previous campaigns in France and Russia, outdated Italian tanks and
tankettes, and modern Soviet and American equipment vehicles.
Additionally numerous improvised armoured vehicles and armoured
trains were deployed.
In 1918 Adolf Hitler was penniless, but within 25 years he was
probably the richest man in Europe. His royalties from Mein Kampf
represent only the tip of the iceberg - his publishing company Eher
Verlag and his 'Adolf Hitler Spende' fund, to which many
'voluntarily' contributed, were much more important. Hitler's
attractiveness to the opposite sex also proved hugely lucrative.
This book traces what happened to the property, the funds, the art
collection, and other items after 1945.
After a long planning phase, the Canadian Army decided to
purchase the the C1 version of the German Leopard 1 main battle
tank. From 1978 this new AFV replaced Canada's ageing
Centurions, and it served in the sabre squadrons deployed to
West Germany until the withdrawal of Canadian forces in 1993.
This publication highlights the use of the C1 and its variants
in Germany during the Cold War. It features numerous action
photographs illustrating the C1 in use in the field and is
packed with technical details of this unique version of the
Leopard. English/German text.
