Kriegsmarine U-Boats 1939-45 (2)
ISBN: 9781841763644 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This title follows from New Vanguard 51: Kriegsmarine U-boats 1939-45 (1) and charts the continuing development of the U-boat in German service, including the evolution of the Type IX as a long range 'cruiser' intended for solo operations in distant waters. Also covered is the revolutionary Type XXI, conceived of in 1942 and launched in April 1944, the first true submarine rather than submersible, whose arrival was just too late to influence the war. Other vessels covered are the Type XXIII, a small vessel armed with only two torpedoes but technically highly advanced, and the Type X...

German E-boats 1939-45
ISBN: 9781841764450 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. By the outbreak of World War II, Germany had done much to replace the Kaiser's High Seas Fleet, which was scuttled following their surrender at the end of World War I. Forced to build anew, the Kriegsmarine possessed some of the most technically advanced warships in existence. Although the heavy units of the fleet were too small in number to pose much of a threat, Germany was particularly well served by her Navy's smaller vessels, in particular the U-Boats and the S-Boats. Known to the allies as the E-Boats ('Enemy'), they performed sterling duties in the Black Sea and English Channel, where...

U-Boats of the Kaiser's Navy
ISBN: 9781841763620 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As was the case in World War II, one of the greatest threats to Britain during World War I was the German U-boat menace. This book traces the development of the U-boat threat from the Brandtaucher, designed by Wilhelm Bauer, the father of the German submarine arm, in 1850, through to the commissioning of Germany's first U-boat to go into service, the U-1, in 1906. It then covers the main types of World War I U-boat, detailing the operational history of the U-boat service in depth, with a particular focus on the campaigns in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, as well as the slow build up of...

German U-Boat Crews, 1914-45
ISBN: 9781855325456 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Osprey's study of the U-Boat and its crews during World War I (1914-1918) and World War II (1939-1945). If one single weapon in Germany's arsenal can be said to have come closest to winning the war for the Third Reich, it was without doubt the U-Boat. German U-Boat technology, training, tactics and combat successes far exceeded those of any of the other combatant nations, and even as the Third Reich was crumbling, technically advanced vessels such as the Type XXI, many years ahead of its time, were being put into volume production. Gordon Williamson provides a fascinating overview of the...

Afrikakorps 1941 43
ISBN: 9781855321304 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Osprey's study of the German Afrikakorps of World War II (1939-1945). The campaign in North Africa between September 1940 and May 1943 holds not only an enduring fascination for postwar generations; but also a perhaps unique degree of nostalgia for some surviving participants. The campaign was no less costly in terms of human lives and material than many others; but regret at the cost is accompanied by positive memories in the minds of many veterans. This is not to suggest that the dead have been forgotten; but an almost mystical bond nevertheless exists, even between former enemies, amongst...

The Waffen-SS (1): 1. to 5. Divisions
ISBN: 9781841765891 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Despite being disdained by the German Army's professional officer corps, the military branch of the Nazi SS security organisation grew from an initial strength of only a handful of battalions at the outbreak of World War II in 1939, to hundreds of thousands of troops in dozens of divisions. The battlefield reputation of the premier armoured and mechanised divisions would become second to none; lavishly equipped and regarded as utterly reliable, they were thrown into many desperate battles on both Western and Eastern fronts, often achieving remarkable results. Illustrated with rare...

Knight's Cross with Diamonds Recipients: 1941-45
ISBN: 9781841766447 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Osprey's examination of the recipients of the Knight's Cross with Diamonds award of World War II (1939-1945). On 1 September 1939, the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was created by Hitler. It could be distributed to all ranks within any branch of the Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS or the auxiliary services, and it was the highest award that the Third Reich could offer. During the war, new grades of Knight's Cross were added. The Diamonds were introduced on 28 September 1941, and were the next highest grade above the Oakleaves and Swords. Only 27 awards of Diamonds were made during the war creating an...

German Army Elite Units 1939 45
ISBN: 9781841764054 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In World War II a number of German Army units and divisions were classed as elites, and were distinguished by special insignia of various kinds. For some this status was simply a matter of lineage - e.g. the Infantry Regiment 'List', which traced its identity to the Bavarian unit with which Hitler had served in World War I. Some, like the 'Grossdeutschland' and Panzer-Lehr divisions, were raised from particularly high grade personnel. Other titles honoured extraordinary battlefield exploits or heroic sacrifice, like the 'Brandenburg' and 'Hoch und Deutschmeister' divisions. This fact-packed...

German Seaman 1939 45
ISBN: 9781841763279 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When re-armament came after World War I, the German Navy was forced to build anew, so the Reichsmarine and its successor, the Kriegsmarine, found itself in possession of some of the most modern, powerful and technically advanced vessels in the world. Germany was very selective in picking her sailors and the quality of manpower skill levels was thus very high. This book charts the recruitment, training, service conditions and combat experiences of a typical World War II German sailor, focusing on the main branches of the Navy, as well as the last ditch combat units thrown into action as...

Knight's Cross, Oak-Leaves and Swords Recipients 1941-45
ISBN: 9781841766430 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Osprey's survey of the recipients of the Knight's Cross and Oak-Leaves and Swords awards during World War II (1939-1945). On 21 June 1941, as the Wehrmachtstormed forward across the frontiers of the Soviet Union, Hitler instituted a new higher grade of the Knight's Cross decoration for gallantry and leadership: the silver clasp of the Oak-Leaves with Swords. It would be awarded to only 159 men of the approximately 15 million who served in the German armed forces during World War II. This third in a sequence of four titles describes and illustrates a selection of the recipients: from...

The Waffen-SS (3): 11. to 23. Divisions
ISBN: 9781841765914 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Waffen-SS grew from a handful of obscure infantry battalions in 1939, to a force of more than 30 divisions by the end of World War II, including units of every type and every level of battlefield value. The mid-war divisions covered in this third title represent that range, from some of the most effective German and Western European volunteer formations e.g. the 12. SS-Pz Div 'Hitlerjugend', and the Scandinavians and Dutchmen of the 11. 'Nordland' and 23. 'Nederland' divisions to the Bosnian Muslims of the anti-partisan 13. 'Handschar' Division. Illustrated with rare photographs from...

The security units of the Third Reich were many and diverse, yet often an oversimplified view is projected of these organisations. This title provides a detailed and informed picture of the variety of operations and duties, as well as the motivation and behaviour of the men involved. It charts the experiences of typical World War II security forces and police soldiers - from the routine of military traffic duty, to combating partisans and resistance fighters. It covers the military police of the Armed Forces proper and the Waffen-SS, the combat units of the German State Police, the SD...

Dywizja Hermann Goring
ISBN: 9788365652539 / Polski / Miękka / 2016 / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Każdy z niemieckich rodzajów sił zbrojnych okresu II wojny światowej, posiadał co najmniej jedną jednostkę, która zasłużyła na unikalną bojową reputację. Oddziały te miały jeszcze jedną wspólną cechę – rozwinęły się o wiele bardziej, niż zakładały to oryginalne plany ich twórców. Herman Göring, głównodowodzący sił powietrznych, był zdeterminowany w pragnieniu, aby jego Luftwaffe także wzięła udział w podziale chwały w nadchodzących niemieckich podbojach lądowych i nadał swoje imię pułkowej grupie piechoty i artylerii przeciwlotniczej. Ta elitarna...

World War II German Women's Auxiliary Services
ISBN: 9781841764078 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Under the Nazi regime, Hitler's conservative views on the place of housewives and mothers in society limited German women to a much less active role in World War II (1939-1945) than their British and Allied counterparts. Nevertheless, the demands of a prolonged war did see German women in a range of uniforms as auxiliaries with the Army, Navy, Air Force and SS, particularly in the signals and air defence services. This unique book explains and illustrates these organisations and their uniforms and insignia, as well as Red Cross nurses, and auxiliaries of the Labour Corps, Customs Service,...

World War II German Battle Insignia
ISBN: 9781841763521 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The remarkable war effort of the German armed forces on three fronts between 1939 and 1945 was recognised by a wider range of insignia than seen in the Allied armies. While the Wehrmacht displayed fewer unit insignia than the Allies, a glance at a German soldier's tunic could reveal much more about his actual combat experience. In this book an experienced researcher explains and illustrates the Battle and Assault Badges of the Army, Waffen-SS and Luftwaffe ground troops of World War II; the sleeve shields and cuffbands issued to mark service in particular campaigns; wound badges,...

Kriegsmarine Auxiliary Cruisers
ISBN: 9781846033339 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Despite the popularity of the U-boats and larger surface vessels like the Bismarck and the Graf Spree, the vast majority of vessels within the Kriegsmarine served in the coastal forces. Though the public may generally have forgotten these smaller ships, many gave crucial service during the war and continued to serve decades after VE day, either in the German Navy or in the navies of the victorious Allies. Indeed, Kriegsmarine minesweepers and their German crews, still in their old uniforms with the swastikas simply removed, continued to serve after 1945 under the control of the Royal Navy,...

U-Boats vs. Destroyer Escorts: The Battle of the Atlantic
ISBN: 9781846031335 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Winston Churchill claimed that the "U-boat peril" was the only thing that ever frightened him during World War II. A formidable foe, the U-boat was developed from a small coastal vessel into a state-of-the-art killer, successfully stalking the high seas picking off merchant convoy ships. It was not until the destroyer escort was introduced, alongside the development of destroyer groups with dedicated anti-submarine tactics, that there was an effective means of defence and attack against the U-boat peril. Gordon Williamson describes the design and development of these two deadly... Winston Churchill claimed that the "U-boat peril" was the only thing that ever frightened him during World War II.
