Stalingrad: The Death of the German Sixth Army on the Volga 1942-1943 Volume 1:
The Bloody Fall, Volume 2: The Brutal Winter
Stalingrad: The Death of the German Sixth Army on the Volga, 1942-1943, is the
first published work to detail the situation of every German corps and division for every day of the six-month Stalingrad
campaign.
Derived from the Sixth Army daily operation reports and the German Army High Command (OKH) situation maps
(Lage Ost), this two-volume set presents the situation on the flanks of the army, as well as the combat in the city itself,
a level of detail never before attempted.Stalingrad was the perfect storm that would lead to the death of an army –
the German Sixth Army.
Led by Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus, but micromanaged by Adolf Hitler, who insisted that
his forces fight to the last man and bullet, the Sixth Army became fixated on an objective that continued to be just past
their grasp. Believing that Stalingrad would be theirs “if only” one more attack against the urban rubble was
mounted, the Sixth Army did not see that it was in a situation where if something did go wrong, it would not “see”
impending doom until it was too late. That something was the massive Soviet attack that broke through both flanks of the Sixth
Army in such a violent manner and to such a great operational depth that any hope of relieving the surrounded pocket from
the outside in such horrible winter conditions was probably Illusionary. Thus, defeat was in order for the Sixth Army, but
it would not end there. Adolf Hitler had insisted that this would be a fight between the supermen of Aryan Germany against
the sub-humans of Slavic Russia.
In this fight, according to Nazi ideology, the sub-humans had no right to live.
Given the polar ideological differences of Fascism and Communism, combined with this racial antagonism, when the Red Army
did gain the upper hand and isolate the German forces around Stalingrad in November 1942, the situation guaranteed that the
Sixth Army would not only be defeated, but that it and most of its soldiers were headed for annihilation. Hard cover 2

The German Fallschirmtruppe 1936-41 Its Genesis and Employment in the First Campaigns of the
Wehrmacht The Fallschirmtruppe of the Wehrmacht won recognition for their valor and endurance
not only from their fellow German soldiers, but from their former enemies as well. On the basis of careful and comprehensive
research, including utilizing extensive unpublished documentary and personal materials, the author covers the history of the
Fallschirmtruppe from its genesis and early training to its employment in combat in Scandinavia, the Albert Canal in Belgium,
Holland, the Greek mainland and, of course, at Crete.
The reasons for the remarkable successes of the German Fallschirmtruppe
during this period are analyzed, as are also the conceptual weaknesses inherent in its formation, and the faults in the command
and control during its combat employment.
The author, himself a former Bundeswehr Fallschirmjäger and General Staff
officer, has also utilized accounts from those who fought the Fallschirmtruppe, and has thus been able to correct many errors
perpetuated in previous books on this subject, besides providing more complete coverage.
About the author:
Karl-Heinz Golla, born in 1939, joined the Fallschirmjäger of the Bundeswehr in 1958. After completion of officer training,
he served as a platoon leader and company commander and then passed the General Staff course. He undertook several assignments
as a General Staff officer in the fields of operations, war planning and doctrine in senior national and NATO commands. In
between he was also a commander of an armored infantry battalion. He retired in 1994 with the rank of colonel. Since then
he has authored several military history books, including "Zwischen Reggio und Cassino: Das Kriegsgeschehen in Italien im
zweiten Halbjahr 1943" (2004) and "Der Fall Griechenlands 1941" (2007). Size: 6"x9", Pages: 640, Approximately 100 B+W
photos and 12 color photos . Price - $79.95
Cataclysm The War on the Eastern Front 1941-45 It has been more than 60 years since the end of the Second World War, a conflict
that shaped the second half of the Twentieth Century. The significance of the war, and its relevance to the lives of so many,
has generated a legacy of published material on the topic sufficient to fill a library. Yet disproportionately few publications
deal exclusively with the true cauldron of the conflict - the brutal and uncompromising war between Germany and the Soviet
Union; and fewer still attempt to provide, in a single volume, a comprehensive overview of that war from the commencement
of Operation Barbarossa to the last battle in the rubble-strewn streets of Berlin. Drawing on information from Soviet archives
that have only become available since the collapse of the Soviet Union, 'Cataclysm: The War on the Eastern Front 1941-1945',
is unquestionably the most successful attempt so far to achieve that goal. As Winston Churchill acknowledged, the Red Army
tore the guts out of the Wehrmacht, and the story of how that happened, a story in which the events at Stalingrad were just
one part, deserves to be told with greater frequency and to be understood more widely. From the enormous amount of detailed
information currently available on the military struggle on the Eastern Front, condensing the events of a war of such scale
and duration into a succinct narrative in a meaningful and balanced way has long been a challenging task. Yet the mortal conflict
between Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia is deserving of the effort. 'Cataclysm' focuses on the ground fighting along
the Eastern Front, for it was overwhelmingly the ground war that determined the outcome of the conflict. With the aid of concise
supporting maps, the book provides a clear and comprehensive account of the ebb and flow of a four-year long conflict conducted
across a thousand miles of frontline in the vast region between the Elbe and Volga. Describing the conflict in a predominantly
chronological manner, the book's narrative nonetheless maintains an easy, flowing style, relating with clarity the sequence
of events as the interwoven campaigns on different sectors of the long frontline unfolded. For anyone wishing to understand
the war in on the Eastern Front, 'Cataclysm' is essential reading, and the book will prove to be an invaluable addition to
any bookshelf. Size: 6"x9", Pages: 400, 40 photographs, 40 color .Price -$59.95 (rzm)
TIGER I in Action 1942 - 1945 In April 1941, two months prior to
operation 'Barbarossa,' Adolf Hitler ordered the development of a heavy tank, armed with the famed 88 mm gun. This tank became
a legend in its own time. Feared by its adversaries and liked by its crews, the Tiger etched its mark in history and the legend
carries on, 60 years after the end of the war. This compilation of the two volumes dealing with Tiger units on the Eastern
front, the Western front, and Africa, features almost a thousand period pictures, mostly unpublished, and more than 80 full-color
plates by the author: tank profiles, details of markings and insignia, camouflage, and a short history of each Tiger unit.
This edition has been revised and augmented, with more accurate captions as to dates and locale, together with new illustrations
and a chapter on additional units. Size: 9"x12", Pages: 288, Over 1,000 B&W wartime photos. Price - $52.95
DEUTSCHE LUFTWAFFE: Uniforms and Equipment of the German Airforce 1935-44 When
World War II began, Germany’s Luftwaffe was the most powerful air force yet seen, achieving victory after victory in
tandem with the German Army. But as other great powers rose to combat Hitler, the supremacy of the Me-109, Stuka, and Focke-Wulf
soon began to pale before vast fleets of Allied warplanes which German industry could hardly match. Nevertheless,
while “flying till they died,” Luftwaffe pilots continued to write a record of heroism and innovation, until at
the very end of the war they nearly gained the edge again with their aces flying the world’s first jet fighter, the
Me-262. In this large, lavishly illustrated, full-color work we gain an intimacy with the daily life of Luftwaffe pilots
as never seen before. From their uniforms to equipment to everyday sundries, drawn from incredible collections of memorabilia,
we can share their experiences on airfields or in the very skies of Europe, above the dark cause which unfortunately they
served. Size: 11.9"x8.4", Pages:310, Over 1,000 color and B+W photos. Price - $75.00
U.S. Forces in Vietnam 1962-1967 This publication covers the chronological
evolution of uniforms, equipment and weaponry issued to the American soldier during the first years of the conflict, from
1962 to 1967 (a second volume will cover the 1968 to 1975 period). All of the uniforms and equipment shown are period, however
some of the weapons are replicas. In the aim of depicting characteristic servicemen at given periods, a great deal of research
was undertaken in order to guarantee coherence between the units, dates and geographical situations. Differing from
other publications, the author has deliberately chosen to illustrate all types of service personnel rather than solely combatants
in order to give an exact presentation of the American military during this period. Indeed, it should be remembered that 85%
of service personnel in Vietnam were support troops and advisors. Size: 8"x9.5", Pages: 68, Over 100 color photos. Price -
