I ordered the new Volume on the Division 'Friedrich Ludwig Jahn' directly at the publisher:
http://www.meissler.de/19_tage_krieg.html
The Author, Henrik Schulze, is a local historian with the focus on the history on the Garnison Jüterborg. He collected for many years archival documents, local histories and first hand accounts on the bitter days in April/May 1945.
So he is able to present the most comprehensive report of the last battles of the 'Armee Wenck', with many documents, and many first hand accounts. It is the kind of book you take in your hands, start to read and won't lay it down...only by force
Of its 609 pages 2/3 cover the history of the Division and 12.Armee, 1/3 are first hand accounts of survivors.
In my Opinion one of the best Endkampf books of this millenium

Henrik Schuzle, 19 Tage Krieg: Die RAD Infanteriedivision Friedrich Ludwig Jahn in der Lücke zwischen 9 und 12 Armee
Put simply: 600 pages of Endkampf/divisional history goodness. A very detailed study of this short-lived unit, jam packed with first-hand accounts, detailed information, excellent colour maps. There isn't too much official material on the division given the chaos of the final weeks of the war, so the author's done a very impressive job of tracking down veterans and their accounts.
A must-buy if you're interested in the closing stages of the war.
Not easy to get hold of outside Germany (unless you want to pay the high bank transfer costs...), however I got my copy from this seller, who takes Paypal:
