IN GOOD FAITH: THE HISTORY OF THE
4.SS-POLIZEI-PANZER-GRENADIER-DIVISION, VOL I, 1939-1943
by Friedrich Husemann
The
Polizei-Division was one of the lesser-known combat
formations of the Waffen-SS. Composed primarily of police
officers, it was formed in October 1939 and served almost
exclusively on the Eastern Front where it was eventually
equipped as a mechanized Panzergrenadier-Division. This
volume of the two-part history covers the formation of the
division in 1939, its employment during the campaign in
France, and finally its commitment in the East. Its finest
hour was in the action on the Wolchow River, where the
Russians attempted to relieve the beleaguered city of
Leningrad.

Operation Overlord was a watershed
in the history of World War II. Neglected by historians,
American glider pilots played a pivotal role in Operation
Neptune, the assault phase of Overlord. From being called up
in the US, to combat landings and fighting in the Normandy
countryside, the author uses documents and eyewitness
accounts to tell the story of these brave men who flew the
gliders which transported troops onto the field of battle.
