Ordnungspolizei
Ideological war and Genocide on the East front 1941 - 1942
The crimes of the German police battalions These are some places where apocalyptic slaughters were perpetrated during summer 1941. Maybe it would be enough to remember these names, to give an idea of the involvement of the police battalions in the ideological war broken out on the eastern front. From June 27, 1941, this war erased, like a hurricane, most of the Jewish communities in the Baltic area, in Galicia, in Belorussia and in Ukraine, with hundred thousands of victims. A dozen of massacres perpetrated by the German Ordnungspolizei on the East front have been examined in-depth. The context, the perpetrators and the victims are described with many details and above all, we have tried to explain the whys all of this happened. In this sense, given the complexity of the dynamics that lead to the jewish genocide and that influenced the criminal behaviour of hundreds of thousands of men, we think that in order to understand this whys a multidisciplinary approach is needed, opened toward psychological, social, philosophical and religious Author: Massimo Arico Format: 255 x195 mm, hardback Number of pages: 368 Ca 50 photos ISBN: 9789185657209 Price: 39.99 contributions. An approach that we have tried to suggest in the various chapters of the book.

Festung Posen vol 1:

Bastion an der Wache
In January 1945 when the Red army launched their massive winter offensive and smashed the German forces standing in front of them, a number of German occupied towns were declared fortresses by Hitler. Only a handful of them were actually prepared for their new designation. Most didnt even have a anti-tank ditch around the town. Even fever actually had a garrison. Posen was declared a fortress or Festung and they actually had a garrison , being home for several training establishments for the replacement army. The town became surrounded and fought to the death, being isolated and getting no outside help. The garrison were a collection of various units and their fighting capacity were well under the average. And still they managed to hold the Red army at bay for a full month. In this book 5 veterans of this battle tells us their story from those eventful days. Every bit of scary fighting and frustration over the situation is there.

The Dambusters vol 2:

Bombing For Victory June 1944 VE Day 1945
In the icy north of Norways sub Arctic region a dark threat loomed large for the Allied convoys transporting vital supplies to the Soviet forces engaged in total war against their German foe. The battleship Tirpitz was the Kreigsmarines final ace, potentially capable of crippling the Arctic convoys as well as taking on the most powerful Allied vessel. Numerous attempts had been made to remove this threat but none were successful. It was time for the professionals to be called in: 617 Squadron. The Squadron had already written its name into the history books with raids on some of Germanys toughest targets, including the quite unbelievable Dams Raid, but Complete coverage in detail of all the missions flown by the 617th Squadron Dambusters, including training missions. Complete coverage of all the equipment used by the squadron, including armament, electronic devices and airplanes. Complete tables, indexes and descriptions of all flying personnel, losses, awards, airbases and targets.

This book begins on the precipice of D-day and follows 617 Squadrons technically demanding decoy flights across the English Channel to help secure the D-day landings, it then records every raid the squadron conducted until the end of the war including attacks on massive U-boat pens, V weapon bases, the viaducts and bridges vital to powering the Ruhr Valley, and finally a flight to the very doorstep of the Fhrer himself; Berchtesgaden beside Hitlers Berghof residence.

Target Norway
The Air-Sea battles along Norways coast October 1944 - May 1945
October 1944 , the situation in the war on the continent forced Germany to move a large number of U-boat units from France to Norway.

Warsaw III
The battle for the Magnushev bridgehead August 1944 Hermann Gring Panzer Division vs 1st Polish Army
On the 1st of August 1944 troops of IVth Guards Rifle Corps of 8th Guards Army captured a bridgehead on the western bank of Vistula River, near Magnushew, centered on the town of Studzianski, that were to become the bridgehead at Magnushew.

Grenadier Brigade were attacking and the Fallschirm-Panzer-Division Hermann Goring and the 19.Panzer Division were sent as reinforcements. Mainly troops of Hermann Goring Division were active in counterattacks against the Soviet bridge head. The Headquarters of 1st Belorussian Front ordered units of 1st Polish Army (1st, 2nd and 3rd Infantry Divisions and lst Armoured Brigade) to move to bridgehead to support the Soviet forces. At the same time Hermann Gring Panzer-Division launched a full scale counter attack to destroy the bridgehead. The stage were set for the biggest tank battle the free Polish forces participated in on the Eastern front during the second world war. By the 16th of August the battle was over.

Knigsberg/Kurland vol 1:
The battles for Germanys borders July September 1944
22nd of June the Red army started what would become known as the Cannae of Germanys Army group Center on the Eastern front Bagration. One month later, Army group Center had in practical terms ceased to exist. The following month the whole front between the Baltic and the Black sea had crumbled and the German army was in full retreat. It took the German generals and leaders all their improvement capacity and all reserves to bring the Soviet juggernaut to a halt. Between July and September the Eastern front was greatly reduced in length and Germany lost most of the occupied territories they had occupied in the East since June 1941. The war had reached the borders of Germany. In this book the reader will be able to follow the events that took place in the central and northern sector of the Eastern front between July and September 1944. It is a fluid battle and the fighting is very intense. Included are the Red army offensive that brought them into East Prussia and to the shores of the Baltic in Latvia, and thus created the pocket known as Kurland. The fighting in Kurland and in East Prussia are connected as the areas are very close and both areas were trying desperately to merge into one.
