Panzerdivision Hitlerjugend Vol.1: 24/6/43- 5/6/44. Belgique-France. The actual history of the 12.SS-Panzerdivision 'Hitlerjugend' from 1943-1944! After decades of research, and with the help of more than hundred veterans from this division, the author offers a comprehensive study of this famous elite German unit, which will comprise three volumes when complete. This first part of Volume 1 examines the history of the combat units (Divisions-Stab, SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt.25, SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt.26, SS-Pz.Pi.Btl.12, SS-Pz.Aufkl.Abt.12, SS-Pz.Art.Rgt.12, SS- Flak-Abt.12, SS-Pz.Nachr.Abt.12), from their inception in the of summer 1943 in Flanders, until Normandy in early June 1944. What was the character of this unit nicknamed 'Baby-Division' by the Allies? From the idea to create a Division of 16 and 17 year-olds, all volunteers from the Hitler-Youth, until the operational availability of 12.SS-Panzerdivision, discover the methods of instruction and indoctrination used by Fritz Witt (35 years old), one of the youngest Divisional commanders in the German armed forces. How did he and his officers manage to turn these teenagers into the most formidable of adversaries in the Battle of Normandy? You will read numerous documents and unpublished personal accounts from the history of this unit; from the methods of recruitment in the Waffen-SS until the development of instruction for these young volunteers, their indoctrination, their everyday life, the potential problems of discipline and behaviour. All the answers to these questions and many more are here. This book should be considered an essential and valuable addition for the library of historians, armour and WWII enthusiasts or those interested in the Battle of Normandy. No of Photos & docs: 800+

This classic photo unit history from the veterans personal collections graphically chronicles the development and wartime career of the 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking; the first unit of the Waffen-SS to be formed from "foreign" non-German volunteers. Formed initially around the Regiment Westland composed primarily of idealistic young Dutchmen, it fought the entire war in the extremely bitter fighting on the Eastern Front. In almost continuous action, because it became an experienced and dependable unit, it was a bulwark "like a rock among the breakers" against the Soviet forces, and eventually volunteers of almost every European nation fought in its ranks. This success in integrating non-Germans into the Waffen-SS made this unit a precursor of a vastly expanded non-German Waffen-SS, and in this way gave for the first time practical embodiment to the European ideal. The 371 photos under all circumstances and settings are supplemented by extensive text that further documents the life, and death-struggle of a truly elite panzer division whose exploits created legends; as this unit was in all the major battles of the Eastern Front. German and full English text. Tables, indices, photos and maps throughout.

Hardcover. L'ultime acte de l'engagement de la 2. Panzer-Division au coeur de la bataille de Normandie commence le 13 aout 1944 dans le Tome III de la serie de trois ouvrages sur l'unite blindee allemande. Le transfert entre Alencon et Argentan inscrit l'unite dans un epuisement de ses forces combattantes au cours d'une semaine de repli dramatique. Apres les illusions de contre-attaque et les espoirs de resistance en Normandie, il faut desormais, au Kommandeur von Luettwitz, eviter l'aneantissement de sa Panzer-Division dans l'encerclement de la Poche de Falaise-Argentan. Les pertes de l'unite sur les berges de la Dives sont lourdes mais la 2. Panzer-Division parvient a s'extraire du Kessel pour traverser la Seine a la fin aout 1944. Un lent repli s'amorce en direction de la frontiere allemande vers une reformation indispensable pour une unite tres affaiblie.The final act of the 2. Panzer-Division's engagement in the heart of the Battle of Normandy began on August 13, 1944. The transfer between Alencon and Argentan exhausted the unit's fighting forces during a week of dramatic withdrawal. After the illusions of a counter-attack and the hopes of resistance in Normandy, Kommandeur von Luettwitz had to then avoid the annihilation of his Panzer-Division in the Falaise-Argentan pocket. The losses of the unit on the banks of the Dives were heavy but the armored unit managed to escape to cross the Seine at the end of August 1944. This was followed by a slow withdrawal of the very weakened unit towards the German border, and a need for essential reform. Volume III of this series on the 2nd Panzer Division looks at the period August to September 1944, ending with withdrawal.

Throughout the Second World War, a shift occurred in the composition of the large armored units of armies which lead to an increase in the power of their tanks in particular. The Germans were no exception. Many of its recently formed Panzer divisions, from the 12th SS-Panzerdivision Hitlerjugend to the 2nd SS-Panzerdivision Das Reich, were thrust into the effort to repel the Allies from June to August 1944 in Normandy. Within just ten weeks they would be defeated.This volume of Casemate Illustrated starts by exploring the initial struggle to gain control of Caen after the Allies had landed on the beaches of Normandy which resulted in the ferocious German Tiger tanks destroying the 7th Armored Division, with British losses totaling twenty-seven tanks. The subsequent strategies the commanders devised for the Panzer tanks during Operations Goodwood and Cobra were not so successful, ultimately ending in disaster for the Germans as the Allies broke through the German line by the end of July.With over 100 photos, diagrams showing the composition of German armored divisions, and color profiles of tanks and other armored vehicles, this is a detailed examination of the German armored forces in Normandy in 1944, focusing on the organization of the 10 Panzer divisions that took part, the vehicles they relied on and the battles they fought in and why ultimately their combined strength was not enough.
