Budapest: The Stalingrad of the Waffen-SS (Siegrunen Monograph Series Vol. 2)

Save your money. It tells the story of the Waffen SS distruction at Budapest in 78 half pages. You can get the same information and more in a lot of other books. Not worth the money.
  
  











  



  
LAST LAURELS: The German Defence of Upper Silesia, January-May 19454 reviews
Georg Gunter

Helion and Company Ltd., 2002

Masterful account of this phase of the war

+ Niche study of the war in the east
+ Good But Could Be Better

The fighting in Silesia is usually dismissed in a sentence or two, if mentioned at all, in prior English accounts. The publishers should be congratulated on taking on such a project as translating this major German work. The book covers in an enormous amount of detail the fighting in Upper ...

Panzer Aces 21 review
David Johnston

Fedorowicz (J.J.),Canada, 2000

Doubtful historical accuracy; good as fiction perhaps

Interesting reading, but of doubtful accuracy and objectivity. Kind of pro-German perspective. The book has no bibliography (at least not in the English edition). It is full of detailed descriptions of combat activity, including direct quotations. I find it hard to believe that the historical ...

As the publisher notes, this book offers the 'human' face of the Battle of Kursk and primarily that from the German perspective. It presents vivid descriptions of battle along with first hand accounts from the participants. Having said that, the author is sometimes compelled to offer some academic ...

The German View of FIghting in Kurland

+ A Useful Account of an Overlooked Area of WW II

Finding accessible information on the Eastern Front in WWII is quite difficult. A number of wargames are available, often accompanied by notes describing the actual events they simulate. Much rarer is material in English from the German perspective. This book attempts to fill that gap, and it ...

Siege! Six Epic Eastern Front Assaults of World War II5 reviews
Patrick McTaggart

J.J. Fedorowicz Publishing Inc., 2005

There is no confusion here

The books description is exactly what the book is about, I see no reason for any type of confusion with "Russ Schneider" or his fictional works. That being said the book is nothing special, small histories of six different 'sieges' the Germans found themselves in, but honestly nothing too ...

Georg Maier

J.J. Fedorowicz Publishing Inc., 2004

Highly detailed insider's account

+ Great book for a student of the Eastern Front

This book is a prodigious effort and I must admit that I was looking for it ever since I first saw it in German years ago in a small shop in Rothenburg ob der Tauber run by a former member of the 503rd Schwere Panzer Abteilung. It is primarily a day by day account of the battles of the SS ...
