BLACK CROSS, RED STAR - AIR WAR OVER THE EASTERN FRONT: VOL 5

by Christer Bergstrom







This volume of Black Cross Red Star is the direct continuation of Volume 4 in the series. It deals with two of the largest air battles in history, over the Kuban Bridgehead in the spring of 1943, and during the Battle of Kursk in July 1943. These are studied in great detail, with a balance between German and Soviet sources, many first-hand accounts, and presented with the true day by-day loss figures on both sides. The work is based on primary sources and interviews with a large number of veterans from both sides. It includes Aircraft color profiles by Jim Laurier, more than 300 photographs, many from veterans’ private photo albums which have never been published before, plus a selection of clear maps.

New in d/w - large format, 384pp, 300+ b/w photos, 14 colour profiles, 8 maps

ROME: CITY IN TERROR

by Victor Failmezger 

The Nazi Occupation, 1943-44. In September 1943, following wave upon wave of Allied bombing, Italy announced an armistice with the Allies. Shortly afterwards, the German army disarmed Italian forces and, despite military and partisan resistance, quickly overran Rome. Rome - City in Terror is a comprehensive history of the nine-month-long German occupation of the city that followed. The Gestapo wasted no time enforcing an iron grip on the city once the occupation was in place. They swiftly eliminated the Carabinieri, the Italian paramilitary force, rounded up thousands of Italians to build extensive defensive lines across Italy, and, at 5am one morning, arrested more than 1,000 Roman Jews and sent them to Auschwitz. This is the compelling story of an Eternal City brought low, of the terror and hardship of occupation.

OSPREY NEW VANGUARD 287: SOVIET COLD WAR ATTACK SUBMARINES

by Edward Hampshire. Illustrated by Adam Tooby


Nuclear classes from November to Akula. The fascinating history of the nuclear-powered attack submarines built and operated by the Soviet Union in the Cold War. The November class, which were the Soviet Union's first nuclear submarines, had originally been designed to fire a single enormous nuclear-tipped torpedo but were eventually completed as boats firing standard torpedoes. The Alfa class were perhaps the most remarkable submarines of the Cold War: titanium-hulled (which was light and strong). The Victor class formed the backbone of the Soviet nuclear submarine fleet in the 1970s and 1980s, as hunter-killer submarines began to focus on tracking and potentially destroying NATO ballistic missile submarines. The Sierra classes were further titanium-hulled submarines and the single Mike-class submarine was an experimental type. Finally, the Akula class were being constructed as the Cold War ended, and these boats form the mainstay of the Russian nuclear attack submarine fleet today.

BATTLES WITH PANZERS:
                                  MONTY'S TANK BATTALIONS 1RTR & 2RTR AT WAR

by Patrick Delaforce 


Britain's Royal Tank Regiment has seen the stalemate of trench warfare, the restoration of battlefield mobility and the establishment of armoured and mechanized forces as a dominant factor in battle. During WWI, 1 RTR won two Victoria Crosses and were victors in the first ever tank versus tank engagement, and 2 RTR fought in all the key Western Front battles from Messines to Cambrai. In WWII 1 RTR saw action in the North African desert, in Italy and in Northwest Europe, whilst 2 RTR fought in France, North Africa and Burma, and later in the 1944-45 Italian campaign, ending the war in Austria.

by Patrick Delaforce


The story of 3rd Battalion, Royal Tank Regiment in WWII. Their defence of Calais in May 1940 gave the BEF extra time to evacuate from Dunkirk.

In April, 1941 the remnants of 3RTR embarked for Egypt, fighting in all the main North African battles under General Bernard Montgomery.
