ENDGAME AT STALINGRAD:
THE STALINGRAD TRILOGY,
VOLUME 3. BOOK ONE
by David M. Glantz & Jonathan M. House
At the end of Volume Two, Germany’s vaunted Sixth Army, already
deflected from its original goal—the Caucasus oil fields — had been
drawn into a desperate war of attrition within the ravaged city of
Stalingrad. In Volume Three, Book One, we see the ultimate
consequences of the Germans’ overreach and the gathering force of
the Red Army’s massive manpower and increasingly sophisticated
command. After failing repeatedly to find and exploit the weaknesses
in Axis defenses, Stalin and the Stavka (High Command) finally
seized their chance in mid-November of 1942 by launching a bold and
devastating counteroffensive, Operation Uranus.

In September 1943 the Allies landed on
the so-called “soft underbelly” of Europe. The aim was to
quickly knock Italy out of the war, but the Germans, under the
Kesselring, mounted a tenacious and skillful defense in the mountainous
terrain. Some of the most brutal battles of the Western Front were
fought in Italy, most notably at Cassino which lasted nearly six
months. German forces in Italy did not surrender until 2 May 1945,
only 6 days before the end of the war in Europe. An interesting
perspective from the German viewpoint.

The Occupation and Denazification of
Germany. Germany had entered the twentieth century prosperous and
strong. During the 1930s, embittered by a lost war and scarred by
mass unemployment, Germany embraced the dark cult of National
Socialism. Within less than a generation, its great cities lay in
ruins and its shattered industries and its cultural heritage
seemed beyond salvation. This is the story of Germany’s year zero,
telling of the final Allied campaign, the hunting down of the Nazi
resistance, the vast displacement of peoples, the competition
between Soviet Russia and the West and the hunger and near
starvation of a once proud people.
PANZER TRACTS NO. 9-2: JAGDPANZER IV,
PANZER IV/70 (V), AND PANZER IV/70 (A)
by Thomas L Jentz & Hilary Louis Doyle
Development and production from 1943 to 1945. The Panzer Tracts
team have produced new drawings for three different Jagdpanzer IV,
two different Panzer IV/70 (V), and one Panzer IV/70 (A) and the
dates of significant mod-ifications have been correctly determined.
Precise measurement of the external features of seven survivors
revealed that the superstructure roof of the Panzer IV/70 (V) is 30
mm shorter than the Jagdpanzer IV (and the roof of the Panzer IV/70
(A) shorter still). Three pages of 1/10 Scale drawings of special
components, tools and holders are included. Text and data are based
solely on primary sources.
