MIT DER KAMERA AN DER FRONT:
                        ALS KRIEGSBERICHTER BEI DER I.(J)/LG 2 UND DEM JG 77

by Axel Urbanke






Of the many German Jagdgeschwader and Jagdgruppen, the history of I.(J)/LG 2 has been overlooked. Fighter pilots like Ihlefeld, Geishardt, Marseille, Harder, Strakeljahn and Kemethmuller, flew their first operational sorties and scored their first victories with the unit. The photographic material available to those with an interest in the unit has previously been limited, but now Volume 3 in the 'Photographed by Soldiers' series, offers unique photo material, with rare collected black and white and numerous contemporary colour images. These provide entirely new and unexpected information about camouflage schemes, Staffel colours and emblems, from the Channel in 1941, through the Balkans to Russia. The unit was renamed I./JG 77 in the summer of 1942 in Russia.

German/English text.

 RETRIBUTION

by Prit Buttar

The Soviet reconquest of Central Ukraine, 1943. Beginning towards the end of the Battle of Kursk, Retribution explores the massive Soviet offensive that followed Operation Zitadelle, which saw depleted and desperate German troops forced out of Central Ukraine. In this title, Buttar describes in detail the little-known series of near-constant battles that saw a weakened German army confronted by a tactically sophisticated force of over six million Soviet troops. As a result, the Wehrmacht was driven back to the Dnepr and German forces remaining in the Taman Peninsula south of Rostov withdrew into the Crimea, a retreat which would become one of many in the months that followed.

HISTORY OF THE IRISH BRIGADES IN THE SERVICE OF FRANCE

by John Cornelius O’Callaghan
 





From the Revolution in Great Britain and Ireland Under James II, to the Revolution in France Under Louis XVI. ‘The Wild Geese’ as Irish mercenaries in Europe were known, were renowned as first class fighting men. Forced to flee their native island after the defeat and expulsion of the Catholic King James II, the Irish Brigades followed their master to his exile in France. Fed by continual drafts of fresh exiles from Ireland, the Brigades served both the Stuart (or Jacobite) causes, and that of the French Crown. Eventually the emancipation of the Catholics in Britain and the French revolution dried up the source of recruits and helped ensure that Irish military services would be given to Britain. This history, illustrated with several portraits, is rich and full and cannot fail to be of interest to British, as well as to Irish, readers. Reprint of 1870 original Edition
