Operation Zitadelle, July 1943 1 review Franz Kurowski
Schiffer Publishing Ltd, 2003
The Soldiers Insight of Kursk
As the publisher notes, this book offers the 'human' face of the Battle of Kursk and primarily that from the German perspective. It presents vivid descriptions of battle along with first hand accounts from the participants. Having said that, the author is sometimes compelled to offer some academic ...

If the Americans thought they had it rough in Normandy, Vietnam and Korea, they should think again for the Germans had to face overwhelming superiority in numbers and shortage of supplies and men on the Russian Front. The men whose stories are told in this book are the real action heroes of ...

Drama Between Budapest and Vienna, The Final Fighting of the 6. Panzer-Armee 2 reviews Georg Maier
J.J. Fedorowicz Publishing Inc., 2004
Highly detailed insider's account
+ Great book for a student of the Eastern Front
This book is a prodigious effort and I must admit that I was looking for it ever since I first saw it in German years ago in a small shop in Rothenburg ob der Tauber run by a former member of the 503rd Schwere Panzer Abteilung. It is primarily a day by day account of the battles of the SS ...

Superb Photographs of the Eastern Front
+ battle of kharkov + The Battle of Kharkov
This book by Jean Restayn is one of the best pictorials of a battle on the Eastern Front in World War II that I have seen. Many pictures from this battle have been published previously (for some reason, the Germans chose to photograph this battle more than most others) but virtually all of the ...

Panzer Aces 2 1 review David Johnston
Fedorowicz (J.J.),Canada, 2000
Doubtful historical accuracy; good as fiction perhaps
Interesting reading, but of doubtful accuracy and objectivity. Kind of pro-German perspective. The book has no bibliography (at least not in the English edition). It is full of detailed descriptions of combat activity, including direct quotations. I find it hard to believe that the historical ...

The German View of FIghting in Kurland
+ A Useful Account of an Overlooked Area of WW II
Finding accessible information on the Eastern Front in WWII is quite difficult. A number of wargames are available, often accompanied by notes describing the actual events they simulate. Much rarer is material in English from the German perspective. This book attempts to fill that gap, and it ...

Although the letters in this book are forgeries, that doesn't mean they aren't true. The man who wrote these letters was a German war correspondent, named Heinz Schroeter, who reported from the Stalingrad pocket. He also wrote the greatest book about that battle, called Stalingrad; To The Last ...

Budapest: The Stalingrad of the Waffen-SS (Siegrunen Monograph Series Vol. 2)
Save your money. It tells the story of the Waffen SS distruction at Budapest in 78 half pages. You can get the same information and more in a lot of other books. Not worth the money.

Siege! Six Epic Eastern Front Assaults of World War II 5 reviews Patrick McTaggart

There is no confusion here
The books description is exactly what the book is about, I see no reason for any type of confusion with "Russ Schneider" or his fictional works. That being said the book is nothing special, small histories of six different 'sieges' the Germans found themselves in, but honestly nothing too ...
