Condición: New. Hardback 264 pages Published Price £25 "Full of mystery and intrigue surrounding the Abwehr and the Luftwaffe secret missions supporting the insertion and less frequent extraction of agents." -Aviation NewsThere are many vivid episodes in the operational service of the Luftwaffe's special and secret units which engaged in the delivery of agents and saboteurs in the rear of the enemy throughout the Second World War-not just on the Eastern Front but across Asia and Europe. The activities of the pilots and crews of these squadrons, even in the Luftwaffe itself, were closed and secret. Information on the operations and missions of these units was known only to a limited number of people. It was common practice for the crew of one aircraft in these units to know nothing about the assignments of their fellow airmen.The area of activity of such units and aircraft covered the whole of Europe, North Africa, the Arctic circle, the Urals, the Caucasus, and Central Asia including Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The Luftwaffe not only flew to these remote regions, but also created secret bases for their aircraft.Drawn from German and Russian sources, much of the latter only recently declassified, the authors expose for the very first time the Luftwaffe's secret operations and reveal the fate of many of the pilots, agents and saboteurs in a story as breathtakingly dramatic as any blockbuster novel."A most interesting account of the special Luftwaffe units that flew agents into enemy territory during WWII . . .What may surprise many readers is the extent of these operations that stretched deep into the Soviet Union and also into the Middle East and Afghanistan.".

Condición: New. Hardback 248 with 80 black and white illustrationsPublished Price £25 Germany was never able to match the power of the Allied air forces with their great four-engine bombers, the Lancasters, Liberators and Flying Fortresses. Indeed, many have ascribed the defeat of Germany in the Second World to its lack of a strategic bombing force. There were, though, two occasions when the Luftwaffe's twin-engine bombers undertook strategic objectives on a large scale. The first of these was the 'Blitz' of 1940-1941, in which the Luftwaffe attempted to wreck Britain's industrial and military capacity. The second was on the eve of Operation Zitadelle, a major offensive against Soviet forces in the Kursk salientHitler's objective was to replicate the successful Allied mass-bombing of German cities, the Luftwaffe being tasked with destroying the main tank and aircraft production facilities and fuel depots. Hitler saw this as the necessary prelude to weaken the Russians before the 'decisive' onslaught of Zitadelle.The aerial operation, Carmen II, lasted for a month and covered a huge target area from the Rybinsk reservoir to the Caspian Sea. For these complex and risky night missions, all the Ju-88 and &;111 bombers available to Hitler in the East were employed.The authors have collected a huge amount of factual material, reconstructing all the details of this little-known campaign, which was the largest operation Luftwaffe on the Eastern front. This book opens a completely new page in the history of the German air war and provides a comprehensive investigation into the nature of the targets attacked, the degree of damage suffered by the Soviet military machine, and how this affected Operation Zitadelle. The descriptions of the dangerous missions carried out by Luftwaffe as part of this operation are presented in great detail and all these exclusive facts are complemented by a large number of unique photos and documents.

Condición: New. Hardback 238 pages illustrated with B&W photographs Published Price £25 In October 1941, Operation Typhoon and the battle for Moscow began. According to Hitler's plan, it was to be the 'last offensive', after which nothing could stop Germany from conquering Britain and the rest of Europe - but first he had to overcome the Soviets and especially their air force. Air Battle for Moscow is the first detailed description of one of the most vital, yet little known, air battles of the Second World War. The battle for Moscow opened with the flights of long-range reconnaissance aircraft, which photographed Moscow and the Kremlin. Then, on 22 July 1941, Operation Clara Zetkin, the Luftwaffe's aerial assault on Moscow, began. But the Luftwaffe was opposed by the 'Stalin's Falcons', the elite 6th Air Defence Corps, which defended the Soviet capital with a determination which saw bitter duels to the death and horrendous casualties on both sides. The book presents new facts about this dramatic battle and describes in detail the actions of the aircrew on both sides. Yet this is not just the story or the air war. The authors also describe the lives of people during the war, of suppressed anti-Soviet opposition in Moscow, and of the bloodthirsty and inhuman actions of the Stalin regime. The book also tells of the fate of German pilots caught in Russian captivity, and the adventures of those who were able to survive and escape from the Russian executioners. Many myths concerning the battle are also challenged, such as the often-stated belief that Moscow's antiaircraft defences were the most powerful in the world and that it was the Soviets who were the finest pilots.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The Soviet T-34 tank is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable symbols of the Red Army and its struggle against the Third Reich in the Second World War. Not surprisingly, over the years a considerable number of books and films have been dedicated to Stalin's so-called 'wonder tank'. Many historians, especially those in Russia, peremptorily call the T-34 the best tank of the war. In so doing, they often refer to the 'authoritative' opinion of Heinz Guderian and other German generals. Von Kleist, for example, is stated to have once referred to the T-34 as 'the finest tank in the world'. But, as Dmitry Zubov sets out to explore in this book, was this the true picture? The reality of the summer of 1941, following Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union, Operation Barbarossa, revealed that it took the Wehrmacht only a couple of months to turn Stalin's tank armada into little more than a pile of scrap metal. Despite this inauspicious beginning to its combat service, the myth of the T-34's 'invincibility' was already being born. It was a development that, argues Dmitry Zubov, was in part driven by the Soviet propaganda machine, but also by their enemy. As the fighting wore on, the Germans became increasingly bogged down in endless operations to cover their flanks from the mythical counterattacks of Stalin's Red Army, which by that time had actually lost most of its combat capability. But to hide the consequences of Hitler's incompetent command, German generals had to explain the collapse of Operation Barbarossa by the incredible resilience of Soviet soldiers, the appalling 'Russian winter', and finally, by the 'vast superiority', to quote Guderian, of the T-34 tank. Between them, Hitler's commanders argued, they had torn apart their excellent plans. These facts motivated the author to examine the real history of the creation, production, and combat use of Stalin's 'wonder tank'. Under the numerous layers of Soviet secrecy, myths, propaganda and outright lies, he has exposed a bitter reality. The T-34 tank was not a masterpiece of Soviet engineering, but in fact a design that, in reality, was based on plans 'borrowed' by Soviets from designers in the West. Produced in an incredible hurry by unskilled workers, Stalin's 'wonder tank' often presented an easy target for the German panzers and anti-tank gunners, and battlefield graves for their Soviet crews. AUTHOR: Dmitry Zubov is the author of thirty-two books on military history, published in both Russian and English. Being a professional psychologist, Dmitry is keen to scientifically explore the motives of key characters in the military history of the 20th century. He is critical of the prevailing views regarding the most important events on the Eastern Front, and his books, based on archival sources, present alternative versions of the interpretation of these key episodes of the Second World War. Dmitry has been teaching at Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University for more than fifteen years, including nine years as an Associate Professor, PhD. He now devotes all his time to writing and translating books into English. 60 b/w illustrations The Soviet T-34 tank is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable symbols of the Red Army and its struggle against the Third Reich in the Second World War. Not surprisingly, over the years a considerable number of books and films have been dedicated to Stalin's so-called 'wonder tank'.

This is the story of the aerial element of the Battle for Moscow between 1941 and 1942, known to the Germans as Operation Typhoon. In October 1941, Operation Typhoon and the battle for Moscow began. According to Hitler's plan, it was to be the 'last offensive', after which nothing could stop Germany from conquering Britain and the rest of Europe but first he had to overcome the Soviets and especially their air force. Air Battle for Moscow is the first detailed description of one of the most vital, yet little known, air battles of the Second World War.

Many myths concerning the battle are also challenged, such as the often-stated belief that Moscow's anti-aircraft defenses were the most powerful in the world and that it was the Soviets who were the finest pilots. In this comprehensive account, details of losses, biographical outlines of the key individuals, analyses of the different aircraft and a full chronology of the battle are presented, as well as numerous exclusive photos, documents and drawings. But it is the stories of those who fought in the Battle for Moscow that, undeniably, have the greatest impact. The harrowing tales of death and survival in conditions that are almost beyond description demonstrate just how important this conflict was to both Russia and the Third Reich and, ultimately, to the outcome of the Second World War.…

Condición: New. Hardback 320 pages + maps & platesPublished Price £25 The Siege of Leningrad, one of the Second World War's most catastrophic encirclements, targeted the Soviet Union's second city under Operation Barbarossa. A major industrial hub housing over 300 military factories and more than half a million workers, it became a central objective of the German advance in 1941. Despite rapid Wehrmacht gains toward Luga and the encirclement at Shlisselburg, Soviet authorities evacuated much industrial capacity eastward while leaving a vast civilian population, including 400,000 children, trapped within the blockade.For nearly three years, Leningrad endured isolation, sustained primarily by aerial warfare and the tenuous "Road of Life" across Lake Ladoga. German strategy relied heavily on Luftwaffe bombing and long-range artillery, targeting civilians, industry, the Baltic Fleet, and supply routes. Yet despite severe attrition and sustained aerial assault, the city resisted.This study reconstructs the air war over Leningrad in detail, integrating German and Soviet command perspectives to explain why, despite tactical successes, the Luftwaffe failed to break Soviet resistance or compel surrender.

Condición: New. Hardback 265 pages + platesPublished Price £25 Much has been written about the Luftwaffe's celebrated fighters and bombers, yet its transport arm has received far less attention despite its crucial role across every theatre. In May 1940, transports from KGr.zbV 107 and 108 supplied General Eduard Dietl's isolated 3rd Jäger Division at Narvik, establishing a model for the 'air bridges' that became indispensable throughout the war. Having supported campaigns in Poland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium and Greece, the transport Gruppen faced unprecedented logistical challenges during Operation Barbarossa, sustaining widely dispersed forces across the vast Soviet Union. As the war turned against Germany, air supply became increasingly vital to surrounded formations, most notably at Stalingrad, and later at Demyansk, Kholm, Korsun, Budapest and Breslau. Hitler's Air Bridges provides the most extensive study yet of these operations. Book.…
