More than 70 years ago the 2nd Australian Imperial Force arrived
in the Middle East to begin their extraordinary adventures in
battles against the German and Italian armies in North Africa,
mainland Greece and Crete. ANZAC FURY tells the riveting story of
how the legendary Anzac Corps was reformed in the heat of battle
during World War II to fight a powerful and merciless foe.
Dramatically combining personal memories with combat action, it
describes the experiences of young Australians and New Zealanders
who were sent on Churchill’s orders from the victorious battlefields
of Libya on a disastrous mission to Greece and Crete.

In 1918 Adolf Hitler was penniless, but within 25 years he was
probably the richest man in Europe. His royalties from Mein Kampf
represent only the tip of the iceberg - his publishing company Eher
Verlag and his 'Adolf Hitler Spende' fund, to which many
'voluntarily' contributed, were much more important. Hitler's
attractiveness to the opposite sex also proved hugely lucrative.
This book traces what happened to the property, the funds, the art
collection, and other items after 1945.
The C15TA Light Armoured Truck was developed early in World War
II by the Canadian Department of Munitions and Supply and General
Motors of Canada. It was in essence, Canada's first
general-purpose armoured vehicle, marrying a Chevrolet C15A
Canadian Military Pattern four-wheel drive chassis, the GM 270
cubic-inch engine, and an armoured body built by the Hamilton
Bridge Company. This new book from Service Publications details
its development and service use.
