For best divisional histories that I've read, I'd say:
1 - Lehmann -- Leibstandarte volumes and Maps - really in a league of their own, books are great, maps are great
2 - Wolfgang Paul -- Brennpunkte, Die Geschichte der 6. Panzer-Division (l. leichte) 1937-1945 -- (this one is great because it has maps in the text but an actual separate map book as well in the back of the book. or atleast the one i bought did.. Double points!! )
3 - Rolf Stoves - Die 1. Panzer Division (depth, just a ton of information)
4 - Willi Weinmann -- Die 101. Jäger-Division (although it seemed really light on the back half of the war. didn't seem to cover much in 44 or 45..)
On a seperate note, does anyone know if divisional or regimental histories are out there for:
68. ID
75. ID
82. ID
208. ID
254. ID
371. ID
I've been reading quite a bit about Hube's pocket lately, and although the panzer divisions are covered in depth, I've found it difficult to find out about infantry there... The best one's i've found so far for infantry is probably:
96. ID --- Hartwig Pohlmann -- Geschichte der 96. Infanterie-Division 1939 - 1945
1. ID -- Werner Richter -- Die 1. (ostpreußische) Infanterie-Division [Infanteriedivision]
Aside from that I also enjoyed:
The Combat History of Sturmgeschuetz-Brigade 276 Hardcover – October 30, 2000 -- by Heinz Fleischer and....
20th Infantry Division (mot) (later became 20th Panzergrenadier Division). History + Chronicle. -- by Dietwart Asmus
Anyway that's my list!
