THE HISTORY OF THE PANZERJAGER VOLUME 2:
                                                 FROM STALINGRAD TO BERLIN 1943-1945

by Thomas Anderson 







The German Panzerjager, or Panzerjagertruppe, was one of the most innovative fighting arms of World War II and its story has never properly been told, until now. This two-volume series represents the first time that the whole history of the development and organization of Nazi Germany's anti-tank force has been revealed. This second volume takes up the story in the mid-war years and follows the development of the Panzerjager, describing the innovative new vehicles such as the Ferdinand, Elefant and Nashorn. German Armoured Fighting Vehicle specialist Thomas Anderson also analyses the key role it performed in the War in the Desert and across the Eastern Front, and ultimately in the defence of the Reich itself. Packed with previously unpublished wartime photographs, combat reports, and detailed charts and statistics, this book offers an unparalleled account of this unique arm of the Wehrmacht.

THE HISTORY OF THE PANZERJAGER VOLUME 1:
                                                          ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION 1939-1942

by Thomas Anderson

The German Panzerjager, or Panzerjagertruppe, was one of the most innovative fighting arms of World War II and its story has never properly been told. Many books have focused on an element of the story - the Hetzer, Jagdpanzer, Jagdpanther - but this is the first time that the whole story of the development and organization of Nazi Germany's anti-tank force will have been covered, from its earliest origins in World War I, through its development in the interwar period, and its baptism of fire in the early days of World War II. This is the first of two volumes that will trace the story through the glory years of Blitzkrieg and the improvements that were made when Soviet tanks were first encountered, leading to new weapons, tactics and organization. It is packed with previously unpublished wartime photographs, combat reports, and detailed charts and statistics to give an unparalleled account of this unique arm of the Wehrmacht.

THE DEFENCE OF SEVASTOPOL 1941-1942

by Clayton Donnell 


In December 1941 the offensives of the German Army Groups North and Centre were stalled in the mud and cold of the Russian winter. But in the Crimea the German Eleventh Army encircled the vast fortress of Sevastopol, launching massive combined air, artillery and land attacks against the heavily defended positions. The forts and bunkers defending the city had to be taken one by one and casualties on both sides were severe. This brutal struggle went on for over six months.

HITLER'S PARATROOPERS IN NORMANDY
by Gilberto Villahermosa

The German II Parachute Corps in the Battle for France, 1944. In June 1944, Allied forces fighting desperately to establish a foothold in Normandy and then breakout of the confining bocage found themselves opposed by a bewildering array of formations of the German Wehrmacht. Among them were the newly formed German II Parachute Corps. This gripping account examines the exploits of Germany's II Parachute Corps and its commander, Eugen Meindl from the Allied invasion on 6 June to the end of August 1944. Meindl's Parachute Corps fought stubbornly for three weeks, before being forced to fall back. Trapped along with the bulk of the German Seventh Army in the Falaise pocket, Meindl and his paratroopers maintained their discipline and were selected by the Commander in Chief of OB West to lead the German breakout to the east.
