The Occupation and Denazification of
Germany. Germany had entered the twentieth century prosperous and
strong. During the 1930s, embittered by a lost war and scarred by
mass unemployment, Germany embraced the dark cult of National
Socialism. Within less than a generation, its great cities lay in
ruins and its shattered industries and its cultural heritage
seemed beyond salvation. This is the story of Germany’s year zero,
telling of the final Allied campaign, the hunting down of the Nazi
resistance, the vast displacement of peoples, the competition
between Soviet Russia and the West and the hunger and near
starvation of a once proud people.

OSPREY MEN-AT-ARMS 465:
BRAZILIAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE IN WORLD WAR II
by Cesar Campiani Maximiano & Ricardo Bonalume Neto
It is little known in the English-speaking world that a
volunteer Brazilian Expeditionary Force fought alongside the US
Army in Italy from mid-1944. This was in effect a light infantry
division, consisting of three infantry regiments augmented with
artillery and light armour. It was supported by a Brazilian Air
Force contingent of a light reconnaissance squadron as well as a
P-47 Thunderbolt-equipped fighter squadron. This is a seriously
researched volume on a little-studied subject matter complete with
a range of previously unpublished photographs and specially
commissioned colour artwork by Ramiro Bujeiro.
New in card cover - 48pp, 8 colour plates,
