Hard cover, small format (6"x9"), 210 pages, 75 photographs, numerous maps and charts. German general officer casualties in WW2 were far higher than those of all the Allied nations combined. French MacLean, a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army (ret.) examines all aspects of why the German armed forces lost so many high-ranking officers. The result is a fascinating look at how the German war machine was directed at the combat level as most senior officers directed combat operations from the front; instead of at a headquarters a safe distance from the battle. The subject has not been covered in any book previously published in English.

With more than 540 photographs of the northern sector of the Battle of Kursk, most identified here properly for the first time, this book presents a detailed visual presentation of the largest tank battle in history. An in-depth text covers the build-up and the fighting on a day-by-day basis, along with 30 pages of four-color artwork, to include formation insignia, maps and all of the major vehicles used by the Germans. Numerous tables show orders of battle for both sides as well as vehicle counts and losses for the Germans.

The second volume of this set on the Polizei-Division takes up the divisional history at the beginning of 1943, and the story of 2 battalions that were sent to the Don Front at the end of 1942. Friedrich Husemann, a former member of the division provides a fascinating description of the many varied battles fought by the 4.SS-Polizei-Panzer-Grenadier-Division. From the merciless forests and swamps of northern Russia, to the partisan-filled mountainous terrain of Greece, through Serbia and Romania to Hungary, in desperate defensive battles in Hungary, Poland and Germany, to the final hopeless battles near Berlin and the bitter surrender, the reader witnesses the life and death of a division. The author weaves information from unit diaries and after-action reports with many first-hand accounts from former soldiers of the division, making the 2-volume set a living history, not just a dry account. The various accounts add more fascinating and crucial detail to some of the better-known battles of WW II. 600 pages, 32 photographs, 40 maps and 24 appendices.
