Hard cover, large format (9"x 12"), English text, 273 pages, 390 black and white photos, 19 maps, appendices.  This is a reprint of a J.J. Fedorowicz Publishing classic on the Tiger I and Tiger II formations of the German Army and Waffen-SS. Even though the English-language edition of "Tiger, The History of a Legendary Weapon" is nearly 10 years old, it is still one of the best books written on the most feared tank of the Second World War. It is full of first-hand accounts that cannot be found anywhere else. In addition, the text has been completely re-edited for this reprint. Even if you own the original, you should consider the reprint.  The book begins with the development history of the Tiger and continues with its first introduction to battle near Leningrad. All the Army and Waffen-SS Tiger formations and the major battles they fought in are covered, from sPz.Abt. 501 in North Africa, through the titanic struggles on the Eastern Front, to the desperate fighting in the West and in Italy to the Waffen-SS Tiger battalions in Hungary and ending with  sPzAbt. 507 in the final  battles in Germany. Also included are unit histories of the Jagdtiger and Sturmtiger formations.  Numerous first-hand accounts of combat in the Tiger are included in the text which give the reader a vivid insight into the reality of fighting in these massive vehicles. The numerous excellent photographs of the vehicles and their crews complement the text. This is a limited edition reprint.

Panzer Aces 2

Johnston, David

More than 250 period photographs, many never published before, coupled with a first-hand history of the regiment, written by one of its former officers. This volume traces the history of the tank formations with "Großdeutschland," starting with the battalion and culminating with the regiment. Panzerregiment "Großdeutschland" had the largest tank regiment in the German Army. In 1944 it had three battalions, one of which was equipped with the Tiger -- the only German Army regimental formation so equipped. Excellent accounts of the fighting, especially at "Zitadelle" and Targul Frumos. Some superb late war photos, including Panthers and Tigers as well as interesting assault gun and rocket artillery images.

The History of Panzerregiment "Grossdeutschland"

Jung, Hans-Joachim

Hard cover, small format (6"x9"), 306 pages, 145 period photographs and approximately 10 maps and diagrams. This is the dramatic story of the unsung heroes of the Eastern Front of World War 2, the assault gun soldiers of the Sturmartillerie. Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 276 was one of many assault guns battalions formed to fight the onslaught of the numerically vastly superior Soviet Forces. They provided armored protection to the largely foot-bound infantry of the German Army. Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 276 was formed in the summer of 1943 and fought exclusively in the East until it was virtually wiped out in 1945 in northern Prussia. This history is written entirely in the form of first-hand accounts by members of the former battalion. As such, the reader is drawn into the world of the assault gunner, where cunning and tactical expertise were needed to slug it out with superior numbers of Soviet tanks. Always giving better than it got, the men of the assault artillery accounted for a large number of tank kills on the Eastern Front — far more than their numbers would indicate. Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 276, later redesignated Sturmgeschütz-Brigade 276 in early 1944, was one of the better Sturmgeschütz units, and produced a number of Knight’s Cross recipients. This is the story of the fighting men of Sturmgeschütz-Brigade 276, from the formation of the unit, through the bitter defensive fighting in the East and, ultimately, the story of their betrayal at the hands of the Swedes when they were interned at the end of the war. In addition to the exciting first-hand accounts of fighting on the Eastern Front, there are more than 140 photographs of the unit which are being published here in the English version of the book for the first time.

The Combat History of Sturmgeschuetz-Brigade 276

Hard cover, large format (9x12), hard cover, 610 pages total with 800+ photos, 32 pages of color artwork by Jean Restayn and 76 pages of organizational diagrams by Waldemar Trojca. This book is to the radio- and remote-controlled units as the Combat History of the schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung 653 book was to the Elefant and the Ferdinand. An absolute must for the discriminating armor fan — more than 800+ photos, most of which have been previously unpublished. Besides never-before published photos of the demolition carriers and the mine-clearing vehicles, there are hundreds of great shots of the command and control vehicles: the kleiner Panzerbefehlswagen, the Leitpanzer III, the Sturmgeschütz III and the Tiger.

Funklenkpanzer: A History of German Army Remote- and Radio-Controlled Armor Units 1St edition by Jaugitz, Markus, Johnston, David (2001) Hardcover

Jaugitz, Markus

Hard cover, large format (9" x 12"), 327 pages, 27 pages of color maps and 20 plus black and white maps (most full page), 120+ photos. This is the one-volume text history of the division that was written by Karl Ullrich, a Knight's Cross recipient and commander in the division. The text is about 50% standard unit history and 50% first-person accounts. Although there are several English-language accounts of this SS division (many of dubious quality), this is the first one available that was written from the perspective of the division itself. The book covers the formation of the division in 1939 and its subsequent operations during the Second World War. With the exception of the French Campaign in 1940, the division fought entirely on the Eastern Front and earned a reputation as one of the most capable divisions of the entire Eastern Army, especially in defense.
