The Twenty eight day siege of the Warsaw Ghetto was one of the
most protracted large scale urban battles of Word War II. Much has
been written on the heroic struggle by the young men and women of
the Jewish resistance but now this book tells the story from the
German perspective. A study of how the SS razed the Ghetto including
the units involved, the weapons they used, their tactics and a
day-by day analysis of the fighting.
Baghdad confronted
the 233rd Military Police Company with America’s most difficult
challenge in Iraq: establishing security in a nation rife with
religious, tribal, and sectarian conflict and violence. The first
MP company assigned to patrol the heart of Baghdad, the 233rd from
Springfield, Illinois, was a key part of the American occupation
forces from April 2003 to April 2004. Charged with helping rebuild
the city’s police force, these men and women waged a “military
police war” while witnessing all of the larger conflict’s central
themes.

Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown flew no fewer than 55 WWII German
aircraft, ranging from exotic creations such as the prone-pilot
Berlin B 9 and Horten IV, the push-and-pull Dornier DO 335 and the
remarkable Heinkel HE 162 Volksjager, to the highly innovative
combat types that were entering the service shortly before the
demise of the Third Reich. He interrogated leading German aviation
personalities including Willy Messerschmitt, Ernst Heinkel, Kurt
Tank and Hanna Reitsch. From his unique knowledge of German
aviation, he describes the background and characteristics of the
most important aircraft developed for the Luftwaffe. This new
edition, which includes colour photos and drawings has been
revised and updated by Hikoki Publications.

After suffering devastating losses in the early stages of the
Second World War, the Royal Air Force established an Operational
Research Section within bomber command to drastically improve the
efficiency of its bombing missions on Germany. Drawing on
previously unexamined files that re-assess the efficacy of
strategic bombing from tactical and technical perspectives, the
author reveals the important role played by scientific research in
operational planning and solving critical solutions to
navigational and target-finding problems
