WAFFEN-SS KNIGHTS AND THEIR BATTLES VOLUME 5: JUNE-JULY 1944

WAFFEN-SS KNIGHTS AND THEIR BATTLES THE KNIGHT'S CROSS HOLDERS VOLUME 5: JUNE-JULY 1944

by Peter Mooney, hardcover, 411 gloss pages, 78 photos, 30 maps

This volume will cover the timeframe from the start of June to the end of August 1944. It will focus on the Allied landings in Normandy, France and the intense battles over those summer 1944 months there. It will also detail the movement from the Narwa bridgehead and onto the Tannenberg Line, as well as actions in Latvia and the former Poland; the Italian, Balkan and Greek activity is covered too.

By the end of August 1944, the western Allies had almost cleared the entire Normandy region of the Germans and in the east, the Soviet offensive against Army Group Centre had left the northern and southern located Waffen-SS units further exposed. It was a true ‘game-changing’ 3-month period of time for the German soldier and those Waffen-SS formations listed here.

This volume will detail a further 76 Knight’s Cross related awards (the most in any single volume to date), and features 61 Knight's Cross, 6 Oakleaves, 8 Swords and the final set of Diamonds awardees. 30 Maps and 78 photographs will help you visualise the battles that tested these soldiers and provided them the chance to receive the awards detailed within. An intense volume and one that will add to your overall understanding of that conflict.

Be assured, though I may not always have the lowest price, you will not get any cheap bookclub editions from me on ebay. I've been selling books for many many years and I can spot cheap bookclubs a mile away. Hand me a book and I'll tell you straight off if it's a bookclub edition. Sometimes it can be hard for most booksellers to know if it's a bookclub, like university press books. They don't normally put the price on the jacket for the publisher's edition, but most of them do use full or partial cloth binding, whereas the bookclub edition will be simply cheap board covers. Though let's face it, most of the publisher's editions these days aren't all that great in quality either, the bookclubs are even worse!
