AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY. THE 6TH WAFFEN-SS VOLUNTEER
                                                   GEBIRGS (MOUNTAIN) DIVISION "NORD"

by Massimiliano Afiero





Formed in 1941, "Nord" was employed along the Finnish−Lapland front against battle-tested Soviet forces from 1941−44. Following the signing of the armistice between Finland and the Soviet Union in the summer of 1944, the division was moved to the Western Front. "Nord" took part in Operation "Nordwind"  the final German offensive on the western front in late December 1944, where they fought against American units for the first time. Tough defensive fighting along the Moselle and Rhine fronts followed up to the armistice in May 1945. The units of the division fought to the last, always with courage and valor. Includes a detailed operational history, rare combat images, maps, and personaly profiles.

BRITISH CRUISER WARFARE

by Alan Raven

The Lessons of the Early War, 1939−1941. Cruisers were the Navy’s maids-of-all-work, employed in a greater variety of roles than any other warship type. Smaller, faster and far more numerous than battleships, they could be risked in situations where capital ships were too vulnerable, while still providing heavy gunfire support for smaller ships or anti-aircraft cover for the fleet. As such, they were in the frontline of the naval war from the outset, and from its first days, the fighting provided unexpected challenges and some very unpleasant surprises, not least the efficacy of air power. The book concludes with a comparison between the performance of British cruisers and their Italian and German opponents.

MASSACRE AT MALMEDY

by Charles Whiting


The story the atrocity committed by the 1-SS Panzer Battle Group under SS-Obersturmbannfuehrer Joachim Peiper in the Ardennes in 1944. One hundred and thirteen American prisoners-of-war were assembled in a field near the village of Malmedy. Though Peiper was not present, soldiers under his command from 1-SS Panzer Division opened fire on the men. They then shot, or clubbed to death, any survivors. In May 1946, Peiper and 70 of his men were put on trial. Forty-three of those accused were sentenced to death and the rest received prison sentences. The death sentences were later commuted to imprisonment. After the war Peiper took up residence in France where, in the village of Traves, he was murdered in 1974.

NORTHROP GRUMMAN B-2 SPIRIT

by Bill Holder 


A beautifully illustrated history of Northrop's amazing Stealth Bomber, the batlike B-2 Spirit. Developed using many of Jack Northrop's Flying Wing theories (and looking remarkably similar to the revolutionary XB-35 and YB-49 bombers of the 'forties) the Spirit has truly revolutionised the USAF's ability to project strategic power on a global scale. Four stealthy B-2s can deliver the same bombing power as thirty two standard attack aircraft backed up by twenty eight escort and defence suppression aircraft and fifteen tankers!
