HRD. Condition: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. On the night of 7/8 April 1945, the Allies in the West launched Operation Amherst. The last airborne operation of the war in Europe, it saw some 700 men of the 3rd (French) and 4th (French) SAS Battalions, part of the Special Air Service Brigade, parachuted into north-eastern Holland. They were to assist the First Canadian Army's advance to the North Sea by creating maximum confusion behind the German lines and securing vital road bridges. Dropped from a high altitude, in strong winds, and with navigation faltering, the men were widely dispersed, often landing in the wrong spot. But, nonetheless, the French went into battle with vigour and audacity, laying ambushes, attacking headquarters and seizing bridges. Although they were to be relieved by the ground forces within 72 hours, several sticks had to hold out for much longer before the ground troops reached them. It was 14 April a full week after the landings when the last men reported back in. Amherst was an operation that was costly for both sides. The two SAS battalions claimed a total of 269 enemy soldiers killed, 70 wounded and 187 taken prisoner; the actual number of Germans killed was in fact much lower, about 40. In material damage they claimed 29 enemy vehicles destroyed or captured and three railway lines cut. The French parachutists' own losses added up to 33 killed, 35 wounded and 92 missing a grand total of 160, meaning a loss rate of nearly a quarter of the men. Though Allied commanders at the time generally judged the operation a success, post-war assessment has been more critical. This book tells the full story of this little-known SAS operation. It is an account illustrated with a remarkable collection of rare combat photos, each of them accompanied by their present-day comparisons the format for which After the Battle is famous. AUTHOR: Karel Margry was born in the Netherlands in 1957 and studied history at Utrecht University. Specialised in the Second World War, he worked for After the Battle for 36 years and was Editor of After the Battle magazine from 1998 until its last issue published in May 2022. In addition to contributing over a hundred articles, he also authored Operation 'Market-Garden' Then and Now, co-edited many of ATB's books, and three times updated Before Endeavours Fade, ATB's guidebook to the battlefields of the First World War. 100 b/w illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardback. Condition: New. In the history of Nazi concentration camps, and particularly labour camps, there is probably no place that bears the same stigma of wretchedness as 'Dora-Mittelbau' at Nordhausen. Located in the Harz mountains in central Germany, next to a quarry tunnel system in the Kohnstein mountain, it served to house thousands of slave workers for an underground factory known as the Mittelwerk, which produced three of Germany's best-known secret weapons: the V1 flying bomb, the V2 rocket and jet engines for the Me 262 and Ar 234 fighters. With over 20 kilometres of underground galleries, it was the largest underground factory in the world. Many of the inmates died in indescribable misery, being forced to extend the tunnels with meagre equipment and under ghastly conditions, sometimes not seeing daylight for weeks on end. Started in August 1943, Dora-Mittelbau in due course became the centre of a whole complex of underground factories in the Nordhausen area, with several subsidiary camps being set up. In all, of some 60,000 prisoners sent there between 1943 and 1945, 20,000 were driven to extinction to implement Nazi Germany's secret weapons programme, but they laboured late and in vain, for the products they yielded had little impact on the war. The V1 and V2 are the only weapons which cost more lives in production than in deployment: far more people died producing them than were killed from their impact in London, Antwerp and elsewhere.The history of Nordhausen, already gruesome in itself, ended in a crescendo of violence when, in the final weeks of the war, the surviving inmates were evacuated from the camps in death marches . One group of over a thousand men then became victim of one of the most horrendous of all Nazi atrocities. On April 13, 1945, just outside the town of Gardelegen, their SS camp guards, helped by local troops and Hitlerjugend, locked the prisoners in a big barn and set fire to the inside, burning those inside, killing them with hand-grenades, and shooting anyone who tried to escape from the burning, smoke-filled building. A total of 1,016 men died as a result. When discovered by American troops two days later, Gardelegen quickly became known as the site of one most notorious war crimes committed by the Nazis.In this book, Karel Margry recounts the history of Nordhausen concentration camp and of the Gardelegen massacre in full detail. Both stories are illustrated with unique Then and Now comparison photographs.The book contains the following two stories from ATB magazine:Issue 101: NordhausenAuthor: Karel Margry. 18,165 words, 118 black and white photos.Issue 111: The Gardelegen MassacreAuthor: Karel Margry. Text: 16,189 words, 78 black and white photos.Note:After the Battle s account of Nordhausen, when first published in 1998, was considered so accurate and comprehensive that the Nordhausen Camp Memorial asked whether they could translate it into German and use it as one of their brochures. Thus a special German edition of issue 10.…
