THE HISTORY OF THE PANZERWAFFE: VOLUME 1 1939-1942

by Thomas Anderson 

The Germans transformed armoured warfare from a lumbering and ponderous experiment in World War I, into something that could decide the outcome of conflicts. This is the definitive guide to the legendary Panzerwaffe, from its very infancy to the days when it overran Europe at the height of Nazi German power. With rare combat reports, along with photographs sourced from previously unseen archival collections, it uncovers the technical and operational stories of the formidable armour that formed the backbone of the German war machine.

KENT & THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN

by Robin J. Brooks 

An account of the long, hot Summer of 1940. Kent was at the centre of the storm as Goering's mighty Luftwaffe was met by the steely tenacity of the RAF's Hurricanes and Spitfires. The courage of the brave young fighter pilots is well known. But supporting them on the ground were countless ordinary men and women. They maintained the airfields, they fought the fires, they restored essential services, tended the wounded and cared for the homeless. This book recalls the days of anxiously watching the vapour trails of dogfights in blue skies above Kent's towns and villages.
