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.

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. At the same time Germany continued to ship the ever more important, as the Belgian and French sources had been liberated by the allies, Swedish iron ore along the Norwegian coastline to the German industry. And finally the Germans had started to move south all the German forces fighting above the Polar circle in the not strategically unimportant Eismeer front. All of this would in turn make the coasts of Norway a focal point in the last 8 months of the Complete Order-of-Battle for both sides in the battle Many never-before seen photos A high level of detail in the eye-witness reports A unique book as this subject never has been published in English before war, as Allied air forces clashed with German naval and air forces.

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. The result, a tactical draw but a strategic defeat for the German side as the bridgehead survived. It is the first time ever that a detailed study of this relatively unknown battle is published in English. The study concentrates on the Hermann Gring PanzerDivision and the Polish forces. It is a very tactical study concentrating on a very small geographical area.

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.
