Battle in the East: The German Army in Russia Concord
Concord series
This issue is all about the infantry at the core of Germany's military exploits in the enormous expanse of Russia. The opening text delves into the complexities of the standard German infantry division. Though usually short on motorized transport, these self-contained combined-arms units fought extremely effectively, penetrating almost to the gates of Moscow. The introduction includes a detailed table of organization listing all major and minor subunits (usefully provided in both English and German). It then proceeds with an annotated description of key divisional components. The excellent collection of black and white photos forms the centerpiece. These photos show infantrymen from the early days of the conflict through to much later periods. Members of many branches are on display, for example, artillery, assault pioneers, military police, antitank, reconnaissance and infantry. This book also features a set of four colour plates expertly illustrated by Stephen Andrew. 52pp. 138 photos. 4 colour plates. Due early May. Can now accept preorders!

Konigsberg: The Battle For East Prussia January 1945
Petter Kjellander
East Prussia was the first genuine part of the German home lands that fell to the Red Army in 1945. Already by 1944 some parts of East Prussia had been under the attack of the Soviets. The tragedy became complete in April 1945. The losses and horrors German civilians had to endure were tremendous. The Red Army showed its worst after the capture of East Prussia. The discovery of the Red Army's behavior in late 1944 in some of the border towns led to the most severe battles ever to be fought in East Prussia. The German army tried in vain to save the civilians from the Red Army onslaught. The battle for East Prussia ended with the siege of Königsberg and Pillau, April 1945.
It draws on sources from both the Russian archives giving the Red Army view and those from the German side gives a good balance, and it contains never before seen pictures of the fighting and a great number of maps and colour profiles of the AFVs being employed on both sides in the battle. 384pp. over 200 b/w photos. 60 colour profiles and approx 35 maps.

Panzerkampfgruppe Strachwitz: A Photographic Study Of The Battles For Narva 1944
Michael H. Pruett
Although many who are familiar with the ferocious fighting on the Eastern Front in World War 2 have heard of the three “Operations Strachwitz” through references and popular accounts, the most popular of which are the memoirs of Tiger ace Otto Carius in his best-selling book,Tigers in the Mud. Few have ever seen much in-depth coverage of the fighting or images of the battle area. All that has changed with Panzerkampfgruppe Strachwitz which not only presents the reader with an overview of the small-unit actions that constituted the fighting associated with these three operations.The images feature the three most famous armoured formations that participated: schwere Panzer-Abteilung 502 (Otto Carius’ Tiger battalion), the Führer-Begleit-Bataillon (Hitler’s headquarters bodyguard consisting of soldiers from Großdeutschland and other named formations) and Panzer-Grenadier-Division “Feldherrnhalle”. Most of the photos have never been previously published. 120pp. 140 photos. Large landscape format. First copies due end May. Now available for preorder!

Panzerschlacht Armoured operations on the Hungarian Plains
Perry Moore
'Panzerschlacht' covers in detail the unraveling of the southern sector of the Eastern Front during late summer and autumn 1944, which led to some of the largest and most vicious, yet unknown, tank battles of the Second World War.
Slammed by continuous Russian attacks that ripped the Romanian Front to pieces and by late August had caused Romania to defect to the Soviets, Germans forces were left threadbare. Only Hungary narrowly failed to defect to the USSR, and was coerced into remaining Germany's ally. Despite a gross imbalance in numbers, the German Army, and more notably, their Panzer divisions (some with only 30 AFVs) delayed, disrupted and destroyed much larger Russian units with successful counter-attacks
From mid-September until November, the focus of the Russians now became the Hungarian Plains - a flat area ideally suited to the massive and chaotic tank battles that occurred throughout October. Panzerschlacht covers all of the operations in detail. Approx 136pp. 120 colour & B/W photos. 18 maps. Large format. Sorry delayed until middle June. Available for pre-order!
