Description:

J.J. Fedorowicz Publishing inc., Canada. Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 507 was formed in late 1943. In early 1944, it was sent to the Eastern Front, where it participated in a number of defensive efforts as a mobile "fire brigade." In early 1945, after a reconstitution period, the unit engaged American forces of the 3rd Armored Division southwest of Paderborn, before it was pulled further back to the east. After losing the remainder of its tanks to combat activity or their forced transfer to SS forces, the battalion moved to Czechoslovakia, where it finished the war. In the end, the battalion was handed over to Russian forces, where many of its members spent long years in Russian captivity. This account of the battalion was written primarily by former members of the unit and features almost all first-hand accounts. Fine copy of the first edition. No dust jacket issued, but the book has a laminated pictorial cover. 221 pages. Seller Inventory # 35031
