THE MEUSE-ARGONNE 1918: The Right Bank to the Armistice The Americans had considerable initial success when they launched their huge offensive against the Germans in the Meuse-Argonne in the last days of September 1918. However, not everything went smoothly and the attack became bogged down, held up by the several lines of the Hindenburg System and logistical challenges. A major additional obstacle was the presence of batteries of German artillery on the high ground on the right bank of the Meuse, almost untroubled by any significant assaults by the allied forces. These guns created severe problems for the American commanders and their troops. Includes 150 black and white illustrations and 20 black and white maps. $25.00

BRANDENBURGER: Wartime Photographs of Wilhelm Walther Images Of War series. In March 1940, Oberleutnant Wilhelm Walther transferred from Aufklarungs-Abteilung 5, an armored reconnaissance unit, to Bau-Lehr-Bataillon z.b.V. 800 – forerunner of what would soon be known as the ‘Brandenburger’. Two months later, he led a commando action in the Netherlands and became the first of his unit to be awarded the Ritterkreuz (Knight’s Cross).
By May 1944, Walther was an Oberstleutnant and an experienced regimental commander in what had evolved as the Division ‘Brandenburg’. He would eventually join Obersturmbannfuhrer Otto Skorzeny’s SS-Jagdverbande as Chief of Staff, before seeing out the last days of the war with the short-lived Schutzkorps Alpenland. Presents 250 black and white mono illustrations together with the original German captions and English translations, that portray the life and times of this career officer, from the German annexation of the Sudetenland in 1938, to operations in Russia, Greece and the Balkans during 1941-44. This unique collection of rare images was sourced from the photograph album of Wilhelm Walther and may appeal to militaria collectors, modelers, and re-enactment groups. $23.00
