Название: Hitler's Greatest Defeat: The Collapse of Army Group Centre, June 1944

It's not disputed that the Eastern Front was where WWII was lost for Germany. While the 2nd Front in Normandy was certainly the proverbial nail in the coffin, it was the destruction of Army Group Centre in 1944 that sealed the fate of the Wehrmacht and the Nazi state. Adair's book gives a generous treatment to this often overlooked campaign that had such a huge impact on the outcome of WWII.
Over 168 pages Adair charts the progress of the campaign, describing in detail the decision-making processes of both Stalin and Hitler and their respective high commands, the build-up for the campaign and then in excellent detail the actual day-by-day fighting that decided the campaign. Adair's narrative draws from a small but comprehensive bibliography which can certainly serve as a launch pad for deeper research into the campaign. | |

Название: Condemned to Live: A Panzer Artilleryman's Five-Front War
Издательство: Burd Street Press

"Condemned to Live: A Panzer Artilleryman's Five-Front War", is an account by an Austrian draftee of his time in the German Army before, during, and after World War II. The book was co-written by Franz Frisch and Wilbur Jones, Jr. As the book was written more than 50 years after the close of the war, it is much more of a reminiscence of what it was like to serve in the German Army rather than describing actual fighting and campaigning. Mr Frisch served from the beginning of the war till the end, and spent two years in a PoW camp in Italy after the war. | |

Название: The Mediaeval Castles of Skye and Lochalsh
Издательство: Birlinn
Год: 2007
Формат: PDF
Страниц: 150
Язык: English
Размер: 54 MB
In this book, the castles of Hebridean myth and story are brought to life in a scholarly yet easy-to-read text. Roger Miket explores the history and architecture of the settings associated with blood-curdling dramas such as the murderous goings-on at Dun Sgaith or the far-fetched yarns of Saucy Mary and Cu Chulainn. Many of the castles are shown in reconstruction and all the architectural descriptions are fully illustrated making them clear to both expert and amateur historians. Together with the earlier broachs and duns, the castles are the principal material survivals of the great pageant of Hebridean history. | |

The Scanian War is generally taken to mark the beginning of the decline of Sweden as a Great Power. During the Thirty Years War and the Northern War of 1655-60 (First or Second Northern War in different historical traditions), Sweden had established a Baltic Empire, expelling Denmark from her remaining possessions in the south of modern Sweden (amongst them Scania), and taking control of Pomerania, Wismar and Bremen in northern Germany. This had come at a serious financial cost, and after the peace of 1660 Sweden was looking for a lucrative alliance – during the Thirty Years War much of the cost of the Swedish army had been paid by her allies. | |

Under the terms of the treaty ending World War I, the German High Seas Fleet was compelled to sail to the Scottish anchorage at Scapa Flow. Before the British could take control of the ships, the German officers scuttled the fleet, sending 16 capital ships and numerous smaller craft to the bottom. From 1924 the German ships were raised and their high-quality metal fittings converted to scrap, in the greatest salvage operation of all time. | |
