I can recommend the following books, some of which have been mentioned before:
- Timo R. Worst: "Career, crimes and trial of SS-Sturmbannführer Gustav Knittel, commander of the Aufklärungsabteilung "LSSAH"", Timo Worst (publ.), 2016. The data that Timo present are very reliable, because he carefully checks his sources (as he has also shown in the AHF posts). Especially the part of the Ardennes Offensive I found a real gem!
- Danny S Parker: "Fatal crossroads; the untold story of the Malmedy Massacre at the Battle of the Bulge", 2012. Very detailed, accurate and definitive story on the killing of U.S. soldiers at Baugnez, Belgium. Despite the grim story, pleasant to read. Highly recommended!
- Timm Haasler, Stefan de Meyer, Roddy MacDougall, Simon Vosters and Hans Weber (in various combinations): "Duel in the Mist", AFV modellers (vol. 1, 2007) & Panzerwrecks (vol. 2, 2012 & vol. 3, 2014). Almost minute to minute account of the fighting in the Amblève valley. Well balanced account from both the German and the American side. Excellent use of sources. Unfortunately, volume 1 may only be obtained for astronomical sums of money. Pity that it has been decided that vol. 4 (which was already in the pipeline) shall not be published after all
- Bohumir Kudlička & Radosław Szewczyk: "Prinz Eugen, the story of 7. SS-Freiwilligen-Gebirgs-Division 1942-1945", Mushroom Model Publications, Petersfield, 2014. Lots of fine quality pictures from Kriegsberichter, good maps and some (slightly inaccurate) diagrams. Very nice colour profiles of tanks, vehicles and even some planes. Worth its money as a good addition to Otto Kumm's divisional history "Vorwärts Prinz Eugen".
- George Lepre: " Himmler's Bosnian division. The Waffen-SS Handschar Division 1943-1945", Schiffer Military History, 1997. Based on George's thesis and the absolute standard work on this highly interesting unit. Unit composition, COs, photos. Great!
- Franziska A. Zaugg: " Albanische Muslime in der Waffen-SS. Von "Großalbanien" zur Division "Skanderbeg". Thesis. Thorough research on the history of Albania and Kosovo, and especially on the recruitment of soldiers for the 21. W. Geb. Div. d. SS "Skanderbeg" (alban. Nr. 1). The only flaw of this great and detailed book is a rather inaccurate table with the commanding officers of this division. But from my own experience I know how extremely difficult that topic is.
Best regards, Merry Christmas and enjoy your reading in good health in 2019!
