Michael Wittmann and the Tiger Commanders of the LAH This is a complete and unabridged reprint of the long out-of-print JJ Fedorowicz classic. It traces the life and career of the most famous tanker of World War II, SS-Hauptsturmführer Michael Wittmann, and his comrades in the Tiger company of the 1. SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Division “Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler”, which later evolved into a separate tank battalion, schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 101 (501). The author brings the life story of Wittmann and other Tiger commanders alive by presenting innumerable first-hand accounts of surviving soldiers of these famous formations. As well as being a combat biography of Michael Wittmann this book is an excellent unit history of schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 101 (501) that continues beyond Wittmann’s death until the end of the war. This is a strictly limited reprint — only a total of 1,000 copies hard cover, Size: 12” x9” , contains 576 pages, 700 photographs, 34 maps and 4 orders of battle. ISBN : 0921991304 |

The U-Boat The Evolution and technical history of German Submarines German U-boats came close to wining the First World War in 1917 and repeat this performance in the Second World War. Yet, as Eberhard Rössler reveals, Germany was a late comer to submarine construction and only embarked on the U-boat programme a few years before 1914. German designers were able to benefit from the hard won experience of other navies. German industry could provide first class diesel engines and reliable electrical components, so it was not long before German yards were completing submarines equal if not superior to any in the world. Technical history remains the poor relation of history. But the rise and fall of the U-boat arm in two world wars cannot be explained without understanding the hardware of this unique conflict. This is the most comprehensive technical history of the U-boat fleet ever published : essential reading for anyone seeking to follow the most dramatic naval compaigns of the 20th century. Eberhard Rössler describes every class of U-boat that entered service as well as the many experimental craft that were still in development at the end of the 2nd World War. Includes : Profiles, deck plans and cutaways Photographs of all major classes and variants Complete technical specifications U-boat tactics, High speed U-boats Experimental propulsion systems, Midget submarines. Hard cover, Size: 9"x9", 384 pages, lots b+w wartime photos, ISBN : 0304361208 |

255 : Anzio 1944 The Beleaguered beachhead In January 1944, the Allies decided to land at Anzio in order to overcome the stalemate at Cassino.This amphibious landing has become one of the most controversial campaigns of World War II. Questionable decisions by the Allied leadership led to three months of World War I-style trench warfare, and the entire beachhead suffered from continuous German observation and bombardment. Vividly describing each thrust and counter-thrust, this book takes us through the agonizing struggle as each side sought to retain or regain mastery. It shows how Anzio proved to be a stepping stone not only to Rome but also to the liberation of Italy. Softbd ; 96 pages |
