Colossus Reborn: The Red Army At War, 1941-1943 (Modern War Studies)

7 reviews
David M. Glantz

University of Kansas Press, 2005

Nearly Perfect
Although hundreds of histories of Soviet-German war have been published in the last decade or so, they have for the most part either focused on large-scale operations, told the story from a predominantly German perspective, or, most likely, done both. Another unfortunate result of this has been the number of revisionist works, in some degree or another based on Viktor Suvorov's Icebreaker. In ...

Bronzeville: Black Chicago in Pictures, 1941-1943

New Press, 2004

A Riveting Time Capsule
Warning: Once you pick this book up, you won't be able to put it down. I first skimmed it simply to enjoy the compelling photographs...that alone would have been enough for the money. But then add the text, especially the contemporary accounts from Richard Wright, and you'll feel you've time travelled. I've read about the Great Migration, but this book lives it. Chicago was the "black ...

Ponary Diary, 1941-1943: A Bystander's Account of a Mass Murder

Yale University Press, 2005

Shocking document
I've decided to read this book because I visited Vilnius (Lithuania) last month and there I visited the KGB museum. The museum is very impressive, but where it does show a lot of wrongs of the KGB (when the Soviets were in power in Lith.), it hardly mentions anything at all about the significant role local Lithuanians played in the Holocaust during WW II. I stumbled upon this title by surfing ...

Messages of Murder: A Study of the Reports of the Einsatzgruppen of the Security Police and the Security ...

Ronald Headland

Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 1992

"We will never speak of this to the world."
MESSAGES OF MURDER is a terse, scholarly study of the Nazi "Special Action Groups" (Einsatzgruppen) which operated in Russia from 1941 - 1943. These four small paramilitary units, composed primarily of German policemen, entered the USSR behind the invading German armies in 1941 with the aim of ripping the communist system out by its roots -- executing without trial anyone with any trace of ...

The Luftwaffe in the North African Campaign 1941-1943: A Photo Chronicle (Schiffer Military History)
Werner Held, Ernst Obermaier

Schiffer Publishing, 1992

This classic photo volume on the North African campaign is a gripping study of one of the major campaigns of the Second World War. From the point-of-view of Luftwaffe pilots and crews the reader is shown the campaign from its outset - from the initial victories, to the final battles in Tunisia. Each arm of the Luftwaffe is presented - from the Stuka and "Zerstorer" units to the fighter units JG 27 and JG 53 "Pik As." The various Fallschirmjager ...

Rommel's Intelligence in the Desert Campaign 1941-1943

Hans-Otto Behrendt

Irwin Pub, 1985

Best Book On This Topic
This is the finest book ever written on the role of tactical SIGINT in combat. I am witholding one star because of the sometimes poor structure of some chapters. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this one to any and all Military Intelligence professionals.

Italian Boys at Fort Missoula, Montana, 1941-1943
Umberto Benedetti

Pictorial Histories Publishing Company, 1991

Azad Hind: Subhas Chandra Bose, Writing and Speeches 1941-1943 (Anthem South Asian Studies)

Anthem Press, 2004

This volume of Netaji Bose's collected works covers perhaps the most difficult, daring and controversial phase in the life of India's foremost anti-colonial revolutionary. His writings and broadcasts of this period cover a broad range of topics, including: the nature and course of World War Two; the need to distinguish between India's internal and external policy in the context of the international war crisis; plans for a final armed assault ...

Empire on the Adriatic: Mussolini's Conquest of Yugoslavia 1941-1943

4 reviews
H. James Burgwyn

Enigma Books, 2005

An objective study
Professor Burgwyn's excellent study of the Italian invasion of Yugoslavia during World War II is likely to be the definitive work on the subject for some time to come. Chronicling Mussolini's invasion requires a great deal of patience and judiciousness, since the cast of characters is large and the main plot breaks down into numerous sub-plots. Moreover, giving an objective account of what ...

A Midshipman's War: A Young Man in the Mediterranean Naval War 1941-1943
Frank Wade

Trafford Publishing, 2005

"Frank Wade was born in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada in October 1921. He was sent to England to train for the navy in the schoolship HMS Conway in Liverpool and the Dartmouth (Devon) Royal Navy College from 1936 to December 1940. Then in May 1941 he was appointed to the staff of the Commander-in Chief of the Mediterranean fleet, Admiral A.B. Cunningham, doing most secret cipher messages. At this time the navy had evacuated the British army from ...

The Druzhina SS Brigade: A History, 1941-1943

2 reviews
Antonio Munoz

Axis Europa Books, 2000

Not in-depth on the subject
This book is very short and discloses some aspects of the subject well, while barely touching on others. The book is filled with unrelated details and fails to present a complete picture of the Russian SS formations.

The Einsatzgruppen Reports: Selections from the Dispatches of the Nazi Death Squads' Campaign Against the ...

7 reviews
Yitzhak Arad, Shmuel Krakowski

Unites States Holocaust, 1990

Doesn't include everything, but offers a nice overview
By using the term "Selections", it is obvious that not everything from every Einsatzgruppe report is included here, but enough is provided so that the reader can understand the mission of the Einsatzgruppen in the Soviet Union. There are hundreds of Einsatzgruppen reports, from the Jaeger Report, which talks of murders (of Jews and Communists) in Lithuania, from those of Wilhelm Stahlecker, the ...
