The story of Werner Gosel and
Sturmgeschutz-Abteilung 244. Stalingrad, Kursk and Bobruisk
are names synonymous with untold suffering and death, and
the men of Stug.Abt.244 fought at each of them. Werner Gosel
was deployed as a dispatch rider during Operation Barbarossa
and after being trained as an officer, he returned to the
front and was wounded during the opening stages of the
Stalingrad battle. After recovering, he served with
Sturmgeschutz-Batterie 395, but with the reorganisation of
Stug.Abt.244 in early 1943, Gosel was recalled to his old
unit and participated in the Battle of Kursk and the
subsequent retreat. His tenure as adjutant from August 1943
onward provides an insight into the working methods of an
assault gun battalion. In summer 1944, now a battery
commander, Gosel was captured during a break-out attempt
from the Bobruisk pocket. He returned from Soviet captivity
five years later to post-war East Germany. This volume which
is jointly edited by Jason Mark, is profusely illustrated
and has three appendices, including the battalion's full war
diary from 1943 plus a comprehensive lists of medal winners.

THE BATTLE OF FRANCE: SIX WEEKS WHICH CHANGED
THE WORLD
by Philip Warner
After the long winter of the
Phoney War the invasion of the Low Countries and France by
Hitler’s rampaging armies threw the World into crisis.
Chamberlain’s Government fell, Churchill became Prime
Minister. France was humiliated, the British Expeditionary
Force was only saved by the miracle of Dunkirk but many men
and huge amounts of equipment were lost to the Blitzkrieg.
England trembled but the invasion never came.
