Die deutsche Wehrmacht in Dänemark, Norwegen und Finnland 1940-1945.
Am 9. April 1940 begann das Unternehmen "Weserübung", das zur Besetzung Dänemarks und Norwegens führte, um die Eisenerzlieferungen für die deutsche Kriegswirtschaft zu sichern. Norwegen wurde besetzt, und heftige Kämpfe um Narvik entbrannten. Die Bilder dokumentieren den Krieg im hohen Norden Europas und die strategischen Operationen der Kriegsmarine.
Durchbruch zu Wolga und Kaukasus - Der Rußlandkrieg 1942 in Farbe
In the wake of the previous full color phot book "STURM AUF MOSKAU" (ASSAULT ON MOSKOW), comes this new title featuring full color photos of Germany's Eastern Front in 1942. Far into Russia in this the second year of the campaign, the German soldier became familiar with the insidiousness of the enemy lands, from the dangerous muddy runways, to the homicidal winters. In mostly previously unpublished breathtaking color photos, the 1942 campaign in Soviet Russia is brought to life; from the breakthrough to the Volga and Stalingrad, to the Caucasus Mountains. German language book with photo captions translated into English on a separate translation sheet enclosure. Large format book with many of the photos being full-page or gate-fold.
This is a quality hardbound, large format book, filled with amazing color photographs. Text and captions are in German, with a separate English language photo caption translation sheet included. Daily German operations at the front in the Eastern Campaign of 1941 are brought to life as never before in over 100 crisp, clear, full color photographs, mostly never before published. What is contained is nothing less than a never-before-seen frontline view of the Eastern Front in 1941. Photographs taken under all settings and circumstances show what it was like from that first summer of unstoppable blitzkrieg and countless victories, through the ruins, and into the snow. The sheer wealth of variety of photographs prohibits specific mention...but it's all here in crisp, clear, bright full color photos - not the mediocre washed-out color we are used to seeing from this period. Full page and gatefold photos comprise over half the photographs in this book, of every subject matter one can imagine being associated with the German effort on the Eastern Front in 1941.
