Scotland on the Frontline: A Photographic History of Scottish Forces 1939-45 by Chris Brown Pegasus Archive review: An excellent introduction to a most broad subject. Chris Brown makes extensive use of numerous photographic archives to present an overview of all theatres in which Scottish troops served; from the Home Front to the North African desert, Italy, North-West Europe and the Far East. Mixing a highly informative narrative with veterans accounts describing typical front line actions, this is a fine tribute to the Scottish soldier of the Second World War. Price £13.49. Copies may be purchased from http://www.thehistorypress.co.uk/products/Scotland-on-the-Frontline.aspx |

Elite Panzer Strike Force: Germany's Panzer Lehr Division in World War II by Franz Kurowski Synopsis: The Panzer Lehr Division, a German armoured division during World War II, was one of the most Elite units in the entire German Wehrmacht Heer. It was formed in 1943 from various units of elite training and demonstration troops stationed in Germany, to provide additional armoured strength for resisting the anticipated Allied invasion of western Europe. Its great weakness was that it concentrated the cream of Germany's tank commanders and instructors in a single unit. Due to its elite status it was lavishly equipped in comparison to the ordinary Panzer divisions, though on several occasions it fought almost to destruction, in particular during Operation Cobra. For the first time in English, this book follows the division from Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge to the end of the war, showing how Germans fought Americans at St. Lô and Bastogne. Written in Kurowski's trademark you-are-there style, this includes numerous firsthand accounts based on interviews with veterans. Price £15.99.
