The Royal Hungarian Army, 1920-1945

Leo G. Niehorster

Axis Europa Books, 1998

Good Reference - No proofreading
This book is severely lacking proof reading, there are many typographical mistakes. The historical background provided is excellent, unfortunately there is very little TOE information and the OOB info is difficult to follow. I know of no better source of information on Hungary for World War II but this book seriously needs proof reading and re-publishing. It would also be very valuable if some ...

Hrvatski Orlovi: Paratroopers of the Independent State of Croatia, 1942-1945

Croatian Paratroopers Brief But Interesting
This is another in a series of privately published books covering an arcane subject, although the book was brief I gained a lot of information about the Croatian airborne forces. It was interesting to note that the Croatian para's never made a combat jump but were used as regular infantry, many of them were executed after the war if captured by Russian troops or Croatian partisans. My only ...

Eastern Troops in Zeeland, the Netherlands, 1943-1945
J. N. Houterman

Axis Europa Books, 1997

This classic on the history of Eastern volunteer battalions stationed in the Low countries from 1943 to 1945 has just been produced in Hard Cover (case bound) edition. The history of these numerous battalions is told with great alacrity by Dr. Houterman, an academic with ties to the region. Dr. Houterman describes the history of these units and their men in seamless fashion - much like an expert weaver fashions a quilt from raw materials. His ...

The Druzhina SS Brigade: A History, 1941-1945

Antonio J. Munoz

Axis Europa Books, 2002

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.

For Czar & Country: A History of the Russian Guard Corps, 1941-1945

Axis Europa Books, 1999

Excellent
This small booklet is a concise yet accurate account of a little known episode is World War II. In fact, there is nothing available in the English language on this topic. The author, Antonio Munoz, has managed to write a clear and precise desciption. I found the maps, tables and extremely rare photos worth the price alone.

The East Came West: Muslim, Hindu & Buddhist Volunteers in the German Armed Forces, 1941-1945

2 reviews

Axis Europa Books, 2002

Great Uncovering of unexpected facts
The mere fact that this book brought into attention a subject pervioulsy unknown desrves high respect. We all know a lot of foreign volunteers and conscripts in british and french armies. But arabs, indians and asians in the Whermacht? They should ahve been suppposed to belong to the category of Untermensch...yet they fought with germans and italians with remarkable courage that was witnessed by ...

Goering's Grenadiers: The Luftwaffe Field Divisions, 1942-1945

Axis Europa Books, 2002

Excellent reference material on the Luftwaffe Field divisions
I will admit when I first received this book and paged through it I was a little disappointed. I was expecting detailed info on uniforms, high quality photos, etc. However recently I found myself needing info on a specific Luftwaffe Pioneer Battalion (after coming across period award documents relating to the particular unit). I found myself wondering how I would find more info about this unit? ...

Iron Fist: A Combat History of the 17th SS Panzer Grenadier Dividion 'Gotz Von Berlichingen', 1944-1945

1 review
Antonio J. Munoz

Axis Europa Books, 2002

Unfortunate Review
I'd like to report that Antonio J. Munoz is a respected author. However, he feels and exhibits the need to write unfair, demeaning and unfounded reviews about competitive historical works in order to promote his own. With those kinds of tactics, what credibility and integrity can be invested into the works he produces? Sadly, not much.

Belgrade's Best: The Serbian Volunteer Corps, 1941-1945
Momcilo Dobrich

Axis Europa Books, 2001

Details the complete history of the Serbian Volunteer Corps, a force of some 12,000+ nationalist Serbians who fought alongside the Germans against the Communist Yugoslav guerrillas in World War II. The unit was considered by the Germans as the BEST indigenous pro-Axis formation which fought alongside the Germans in the Balkans. Contains 105 photos, plus several maps and tables, and a long list of documents in photo format completely translated ...

Mussolini's Afrika Korps: The Italian Army in North Africa, 1940-1943

1 review
Rex Trye

Axis Europa Books, 1999

Disappointing
Trye's first book, 'Mussolini's Soldiers', gave a thoughtfully writter and illustrated look at a generally maligned and overlooked subject. I was anxious to hear that "Mussolini's Afrika Korps..." would be published, and made an advance order direct from the publisher. This second work is, however, a bit of a disappointment. It gives the overall impression of having been rushed to publication. ...

The German Police, March 1945
Antonio Munoz

Axis Europa Books, 1997

Complete history of the German police organization, system, units, personalities, weapons, etc. Includes SS, SD, Gestapo, Fire Police, Order Police, Gendarmerie, etc. The book was a compilation of what US & British Intelligence knew about the German Police from pre-war to March 1945. This reprinted edition has the benefit of 60+ years, with the detailed history of the SS & Police battalions and regiments, rare photos of SS & police ...

The Originators of Naval Special Warfare
'Decima! The X-mas & The Italian Social Republic, 1943-1945' is a valuable reference for those interested in the Decima Mas of the RSI. The color plates are great! As there is very little information on this subjust available in English I highly recommend this book.

Review
I ran across this book the other day at the US Holocaust Museum library while doing research on Einsatzgruppe A an its activities in the Baltic. I sat down, read it, and scanned some of the maps for my research. It is an excellent source for the Baltic Schuma units which worked with the SS/SD/Police in their brutal rear area security work. I can not think of any other English language source ...

For Croatia & Christ: The Croatian Army in World II, 1941-1945

Axis Europa Books, 2002

Detailed Account of Croatian Forces and Battles
Antonio Munoz has produced an immensly detailed account of the make-up, structure and equipment of the Croatian Army and its various military units in World War II. This is the first English language book to illuminate this interesting subject and I found that the author doesn't pull any punches when dealing with the various issues that the Croatians found themselves having to contend with at ...
