German World War 2 Medals and Political Awards, the Satellite States

Arguably of all the branches of the German armed forces in World War Two, only the Kriegsmarine had the ability to bring Britain to defeat once the immediate threat of invasion after Dunkirk had receded. With the threat posed by its U-Boats and great capital ships, such as the Bismarck and Tirpitz, the Kriegsmarine, through its attacks on the convoys bringing vital supplies across the Atlantic, came close to starving Britain into submission. This addition to a popular series will provide the collector with detailed and objective advice on Kriegsmarine memorabilia with the usual guide to values and how to spot forgeries. For all active collectors of Third Reich militaria and those interested in the Kriegsmarine during the period from 1939 to 1945, this will be essential reading.

Due to the fact that German military awards have spiraled in value in recent years, the Collector’s Guide to German Nazi Party Awards 1919-1945 is a prime opportunity to tap in this international market and provide a useful and practical guide for collectors of such memorabilia. The book features eighty to ninety medals, fully illustrated from the author's extensive collection, including such medals as the Munich Putsch, Blood Order, and the German Order, which in current market conditions are expected to fetch more than £20,000-£100,000 each. Unlike military medals within the Third Reich structure, the Nazi Party Awards were issued within the Nazi hierarchy as well as to foreigners; the Art and Science Award has been deemed as the Nobel Prize,” for example. The latter was encrusted in platinum and diamonds and only one copy is known to exist and was presented to the Third Reich’s vice chancellor (the medal resides in Christopher Ailsby’s collection).

National Socialist Germany's Waffen-SS (Military SS) was one of the most fanatical and feared military organizations in history. From its humble beginnings as a small, select troop whose duty it was to protect leaders and speakers at N.S. Party meetings, it grew during World War Two to nearly one million men, and included dozens of nationalities. During its existence it achieved some of the most stunning victories ever seen in the annals of warfare. This coffee table size large format title is a fully illustrated volume on the battles, campaigns, and alleged war crimes of National Socialist Europe's fighting elite. 
It was in the Soviet Union that the Waffen-SS found its greatest testing ground. It was here that the elite Waffen-SS Panzer divisions proved themselves to be masters of mechanized warfare and the combined arms battle. With the aid of full-color maps and color and black and white photographs, this book recreates all the aspects of their epic struggle on Europe's Eastern Front. This title also traces the wartime growth of the Waffen-SS, and includes details on all the legendary Waffen-SS leaders. 
Not just highly trained soldiers, the men of the Waffen-SS were highly motivated idealists; ideological warriors selected on the basis of rigid standards. Trained to be highly aggressive on the battlefield, they achieved success on the battlefield that created legends that persist to this day.
