KG-Roth
A great source of front-line photographs of one the 3rd Reich's premier fighting units. Anyone interested in the personalities and equipment used by this elite unit would not be disappointed if they purchased this volume.

It's in english...
First things first, it's written in english, buy with confidence, one of the few Heimdal volumes to be so. It's a massive book (480 pages) with hundreds of photos of the Totenkopf (the premier Waffen SS Division of all time and one of the toughest), the one about which Zhukov once said, "everywhere I went I found the Totenkopf". The despective editorial comes as no surprise, as to this day Waffen ...

Will Get You Up and Running (1stEd)
First I would like to justify my 5 star rating. This book helped me out of a nasty multi-homed host and DNS problem when no other source could. Without this book I would have been troubleshooting this issue for days. I feel the book has paid for itself. However, I wouldn't consider this "The Definitive Guide." It lacks documentation on the krb5.conf configuration file. I found myself ...
Omaha Beach: 6/6/1944

A vivid visual look at a famous battle
Not long ago, I read and reviewed Joseph Balkoski's "Omaha Beach" and somewhat lamented the absence of really adequate maps to better show what had happened, linking the small unit actions with the bigger picture. I must say tha Georges Bernage's book is the perfect companion to Balkoski's, supplying highly vivid maps and photographs to amplify the words of Balkoski's narrative. And it ...

Hit the Beach Running...
I found this book to be an excellent resource for understanding the obstacles the Allied forces faced when storming the beaches. There are two pages devoted to various beach obstacles. There are also two pages devoted to St-Mere-Englis, including a map. Modellers of World War II will definately find this book useful. It is a quick and enjoyable read.

Charles Trang
Heimdal, 2008
Leibstandarte Vol 4 contains 500 further photographs of this celebrated SS Panzer division, most of which are previously unpublished. It also includes many profiles of tanks and organization charts, which, together with the three previous volumes, provides a complete visual history of one of the greatest German armored divisions from World War II.

Die Leibstandarte...a Photographic Triumph!
I would like to echo C.D. Turner's praise for Trang's Die Liebstandarte..It is most excellent..and merely because it is a photographic compendium! The previous criticisms of this work's French language text lose sight of the fact that this book was meant primarily as a PHOTOGRAPHIC chronical and NOT as a comprehensive written history. As a long time student and amateur historian of the Waffen SS; ...
TIGER !: The Tiger Tank in the Eastern Front, in Normandy and in Germany 1942,45
Stephan Cazenave and Rudiger Warnick
Heimdal, 2008
The Tiger tank was the greatest tank of World War II. Officially designated the Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausfuhrung H, it was nicknamed the Tiger by Ferdinand Porsche. Brought into use in late 1942, the Tiger tank represented a new approach to tank design in that it maximised armour protection and firepower at the expense of mobility. This is the first publication dedicated solely to the Tiger tanks of the Schwere Panzer Kompanie (Heavy Armor ...

Charles Trang
Heimdal, 2008
This second volume of Leibstandarte covers the period between 1943 and 1945. From the battle of Charkow, Kursk, the interlude in Italian, the eastern front during the winter 1943-1944, the battle of Normandy, the Ardennes offensives and the battle of Germany. It contains thousands of photographs, including many previously unpublished photos of Panzers, along with numerous documentation, which provides an exceptional visual history of one of ...
JERRYCAN: 70 Years Old, Still in Use
Phlilippe Leger
Heimdal, 2008
Surprisingly, given it's ubiquity, very little has been written on the subject of the jerrycan over the years-only a small number of articles published in magazines about history or vehicles refer to it in any detail. This book relates the story of this ingenious container, bringing together in one collection, documents, many colour photographs (particularly valuable to collectors), as well as different points of view on this topic from a wide ...
1st Us Army

a new look at a famous campaign
The US First Army was the overall command for American troops in France from D-Day until the breakout from Normandy when Patton's Third Army was added to the mix. Patton's Third Army gets more press, but the First Army was the senior partner and was right beside the Third all the way into Germany. This French-produced publication looks at the US First Army in Normandy. Overall the traslation ...

507th Parachute Infantry Regiment
Just spent the weekend with the surviving members of the 507th. INCREDIBLE bunch of guys. Actually got to meet Dominique Fracois and another gentleman named Martin Morgan who has put together a documentary of the 507th called "D-Day: Down to Earth-Return of the 507th". You can check it out at www.507th.com. You guys should really check this book out if you get a chance, and keep an eye out for ...

Georges Bernage
Heimdal, 2001
A huge, extraordinarily illustrated, volume on the period from the initial planning for Operation Overlord to its execution on the beaches of Normandy on D Day.An excellent narrative covers all the issues surrounding the planned invasion, what actually happened and why. In addition there are some truly wonderful photos of some of the specialist equipment used in the landings, including some great sequences of some of the "Hobarts Funnies".
German Radio Sets
Pierre Metsu
Heimdal, 2004
This 240 page full color album fills a real gap. It presents all radio sets used by the German Army during World War II. Each set is dealt with in a detailed data sheet with all the German terminology, along with French and English translations. Each data sheet comes with a color photo of that particular radio set, with its wartime paintwork and markings.?

Francois De Lannoy
Heimdal, 2002
An Excellent Reference Work
This is a superbly researched and well-written reference work of the German Panzer troops from 1935 to 1945. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 starts with a brief essay on the formation of the panzer divisions and the background of the commanders of these divisions as well as the leaders of panzer corps and panzer armies. This is followed by short histories of each of these 250+ ...

Utah Beach: Sainte-Me're Eglise
great pictures, many I have never seen. Gives a good feel for this part of Normandy. Text is limited but useful.
Götz von Berlichingen: Lorraine Allemagne
5 reviews
JeanClaude Perrigault
Heimdal, 2005
A window in time
Waffen SS division Götz von Berlichingen has long been neglected by historians, with very little literature available in english, this fine tome and the forthcoming volume II, do justice not only to the division but to the fine men who served in it. Perhaps the lone Waffen SS division to see action solely on the western front makes it's history all the more absorbing. The book is laid out in ...
