This is the first English translation of Rolf Michaelis's account of this obscure World War II SS unit. In July 1939, SS-Heimwehr Danzig was formed from members of the III./4. SS-Totenkopf-Standarte "Ostmark", as well as from Danzig citizen volunteers to reinforce other existing Danzig units for the impending invasion of Poland.

HEINKEL HE 111

by Karl-Heinz Regnat 

During the Battle of Britain and in the dark and dangerous period which followed, many people in the British Isles would have been all too aware of the shape and sound of the twin-engined Heinkel 111 bomber, with its distinctive glazed nose. Though still in front line service in large numbers at this time, the aircraft was already becoming obselete. The type first flew in 1935 and saw active service during the Spanish Civil War. It was used to equip Kampfgruppe 88, the bomber component of Legion Condor, Hitler's aerial assistance to the Spanish fascists. Later it served in a wide variety of roles. Though mainly used as a bomber, it also undertook reconnaissance, torpedo bombing, glider towing and transport roles.

CINDERELLA ARMY: THE CANADIANS IN
                                                    NORTHWEST EUROPE, 1944-1945

by Terry Copp

In his controversial book ‘Fields of Fire’, Terry Copp challenged the conventional view that the Canadian contribution to the Battle of Normandy was a failure. Cinderella Army extends his argument that the achievement of the Canadian army has been greatly underrated. The Canadian component of the Allied Armies never totalled more that 185,000 of the four million troops in Northwest Europe. It is, however, evident that the divisions of 2nd Canadian Corps played a role disproportionate to their numbers. Their contribution to operations designed to secure the Channel Ports and open the approaches to Antwerp, together with the battles in the Rhineland, place them among the most heavily committed and sorely tried divisions in the theatre.
