THE
WOLSELEY HELMET IN PICTURES:
FROM
OMDURMAN TO EL ALAMEIN
by Stuart Bates & Peter Suciu
The British Wolseley helmet was introduced when the
empire was essentially at its zenith, and while the Wolseley
has a moniker that evokes an eminent Victorian general, it
is in fact a helmet more accurately associated with the
First and Second World Wars. The Wolseley pattern helmet was
worn by the guardians of the empire, from the Battle of
Omdurman to the Gallipoli campaign to the Battle of El
Alamein.

HISTORY OF
THE PANZERJAGER: VOLUME 1
ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION 1939-1942
by Thomas Anderson
The German Panzerjager, or
Panzerjagertruppe, was one of the most innovative fighting
arms of World War II and its story has never properly been
told. Many books have focused on an element of the story -
the Hetzer, Jagdpanzer, Jagdpanther - but this is the first
time that the whole story of the development and
organization of Nazi Germany's anti-tank force will have
been covered, from its earliest origins in World War I,
through its development in the interwar period, and its
baptism of fire in the early days of World War II. This is
the first of two volumes that will trace the story through
the glory years of Blitzkrieg and the improvements that were
made when Soviet tanks were first encountered, leading to
new weapons, tactics and organization. It is packed with
previously unpublished wartime photographs, combat reports,
and detailed charts and statistics to give an unparalleled
account of this unique arm of the Wehrmacht.
