Although many are familiar with the three Eastern
Front “Operations Strachwitz”, there has been little
in-depth coverage of the fighting, or images of the
battle area. This impressive new book not only presents
the reader with an overview of the small-unit actions,
but also includes 140 photographs shot by German war
correspondents. These include numerous images of the
three most famous armored formations that participated -
Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 502 (Otto Carius’ Tiger
battalion), Führer-Begleit-Bataillon (Hitler’s
headquarters bodyguard consisting of soldiers from
Großdeutschland and other named formations) and
Panzer-Grenadier-
Division “Feldherrnhalle” (often referred to as Hitler’s
forgotten elite). These new photographs will be
invaluable to armour enthusiasts, unit historians,
collectors and modellers.
