WAFFEN-SS KNIGHTS AND THEIR BATTLES – VOLUME 6: SEPTEMBER 1944 TO JANUARY 1945

Description: WAFFEN-SS KNIGHTS AND THEIR BATTLES – VOLUME 6: SEPTEMBER 1944 TO JANUARY 1945by Peter Mooney, 512 pages. 102 photos. 27 maps. This is the sixth volume of the on-going project that is detailing the chronological bestowal of all Knight’s Cross related awards to the soldiers of the Waffen-SS during the Second World War. This volume will cover the timeframe from the start of September 1944 to the end of January 1945. It will focus on the stabilisation of the western front in the autumn of 1944, Operation Market Garden, the battle for Metz and the Ardennes Offensive, as well as Operation Nordwind. It will also detail the loss of Estonia and the forming of the Courland Pocket, as well as the collapse of the south-eastern front in Greece, then Romania and onto Hungary. The pressure on the German Armed Forces and the Waffen-SS formations within them, was immense and no last ditch offensive actions changed that; they only caused further costly losses, which facilitated the final defeat a few months later. This volume will detail a further 103 Knight’s Cross related awards (the most confirmed awards in any single volume), and features 84 Knight’s Cross, 16 Oakleaves and 3 Swords-level awardees. 27 Maps and 103 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 that covers some of the most well-known battles of the entire war and one that will add to your overall understanding of that conflict.

I SHIP ANYWHERE ON THIS PLANET.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! Please look at my ebay store where many similar titles are available.
