The Axis Forces 22

by Massimiliano Afiero

In this number: We begin with a long and interesting work on the employment of the Totenkopf division during the counter-offensive on the Ukrainian front between February and March 1943, following the SS-Panzer-Korps. This is followed by the biography of Egon Christophersen, a Danish non-commissioned officer first in the Wiking division and then in the Nordland division, who distinguished himself during the fighting on the Narva front, earning himself the Knight's Cross. We continue with an article on the Tunisia campaign, fought by the Italian-German forces between the end of 1942 and the spring of 1943. We close with the second part of the article dedicated to the Wiking division in the Caucasian regions in the summer of 1942.
