12th SS? A minor bump on the road to Berlin. Just let the bantams deal with them
Maybe I'm just being selfish, but I'm just hoping to see a bit more balance in the publication of German formation histories. I'd like to see some more publications of "standard" German army formations especially from the Italian campaign.
Have you bothered to research this authors history with Heimdal?
AND? Why the capitals?krichter33 wrote: ↑30 Nov 2020, 10:56AND, I have the knowledge that a certain publisher will be buying the rights and publishing in English all of the 12th SS books, including the ones not yet finished or released.
Good. I have long been looking for an account of the disaster that overtook SS Pz Rgt 12 during EPSOM. They lost a third of their tanks June 6-26th (say 3 weeks) but then only needed 6 days to lose a further third!krichter33 wrote: ↑30 Nov 2020, 10:56I have the knowledge that a certain publisher will be buying the rights and publishing in English all of the 12th SS books, including the ones not yet finished or released.
I just assumed you knew a bit about him by the way you promote him. His time at Heimdal was, how shall we put it.............tempestuous? Threats of legal action flying backwards and forwards and (for example) accusations that articles/photos were lifted from German publications and published (in French) as original research. The Agte method?krichter33 wrote: ↑01 Dec 2020, 05:59I know he did publish with Heimdal right? No I don't know where I would be able to "research" this history.
Not to mention the "too much to the right" - tu put it midly - image of this publisher. No surprise authors who published at Heimdal never made it to mainstream publishers.Michael Kenny wrote: ↑01 Dec 2020, 19:26I just assumed you knew a bit about him by the way you promote him.

There were many "epic" defensive stands on the Eastern Front against high intensity Soviet offensives as well.Pascal.

One could find comparable defensive stands in Italy e.g. 26.PzDiv at Orsogna, 90.PzGrenDiv at Cassino or also 65.Inf.Div in 1944.
One of the most vicious fighting I have ever read about was not concerning 12th SS but rather 15.PzGrenDiv at Troina in 1943. I would be very interested in a modern divisional history about the 26.PzDiv or the 114.JgDiv...
