Armor Battles of the Waffen-SS 1943-1945

Bookplate signed by the author Will Fey opposite the copyright page - Fey was a Captain in the Waffen-SS. VERY GOOD with no dust jacket as issued. Clean in text. No marks other than foxing on endpapers and title page. Light wear on cover. Binding is sound, tight and square. . . . . . . . If you want a different perspective of armor battles of WW2 (different than those written by Allied personnel), this book is for you. The book is a compendium of German battle field accounts by those who actually were engaged in battle. The narratives are generally from German armor (SS Panzer) commanders and range from detailed accounts on the Russian front post Stalingrad to the Normandy invasion, Battle of the Bulge, and final defense of Berlin. There is a good German account of Michael Wittmann's last fight with an eye witness (French) who contradicts the now "official" version of his demise. However, the account of Wittmann's famous foray in Villers-Bocage is a little thin. His actions on the Eastern front are also documented. You'll find the book very well written with details that will keep you very engaged in your reading. There is absolutely no propaganda of any sort. Just the raw facts and emotions of those who experienced battle first hand as it was felt by those on the receiving end of Russian and Allied armor. Highly recommended. -- walshrd
