THE 23RD WAFFEN SS VOLUNTEER
PANZER GRENADIER DIVISION NEDERLAND
by Massimiliano Afiero
Employed exclusively on the
Eastern Front, except for a brief period in Croatia, Dutch
volunteer combat formation “Nederland” participated in many
of the most difficult battles including Leningrad, the Narva
bridgehead, the Tannenberg line, Dorpat in Kurland,
Pomerania, and the Oder front. Finally, at the desperate
battle of the Halbe Pocket, the remnants of the division
avoided total annihilation, escaping the Soviets and
surrendering to American forces. This work fills a gap in
Waffen-SS history with appendices on the unit’s operational
history, its members, uniforms and insignia.

All are familiar with the rapid
thrusts the Germans made in the early days of the Second
World War that saw the demise first of Poland, and then the
Low Countries and France. But were the German Blitzkrieg
tactics, which appeared at the time to smash through all
resistance, really as devastating as they seemed? That is
the major question asked in this absorbing new study of the
campaign in Greece in 1941. Within three weeks they overran
the country but, by looking into the campaign in detail, the
author claims that at no time did the Germans gain
ascendancy over the token British and Anzac force sent to
bolster the Greek defenders.
This high
quality series of aircraft monographs from Poland presents
detailed studies of selected aircraft types, illustrated
with original manufacturer’s photos, drawings and design
documents. Although built in fewer numbers than the PZL
P.11, the PZL P.24 was, for a period during the 1930s, the
fastest and most heavily armed single-seat fighter in the
world. Having acquired early notoriety at the Paris Salon
with their innovative wing design, the P.24 represented the
ultimate development of the family of fighter planes
designed by Zygmunt Pulawski and saw service in the air
forces of four countries: Bulgaria, Greece, Romania and
Turkey.
